Sinopse

"Ireland Unfolded" takes readers on a captivating journey through the lesser-known aspects of Irish history, culture, and society. This comprehensive exploration challenges common perceptions and reveals the multifaceted nature of Ireland's identity. The book's main argument emphasizes Ireland's often underestimated global significance, highlighting its outsized impact on literature, politics, and economic systems.

 
Divided into three sections, the book delves into hidden historical narratives, examines cultural evolution, and analyzes Ireland's economic journey from agrarian society to "Celtic Tiger." It uncovers intriguing facts, such as the influence of Ireland's geographical isolation on its development and the waves of invasion that shaped its population.

 
The interdisciplinary approach connects Irish studies to anthropology, economics, and literature, offering a holistic view of Ireland's place in the world. One of the book's unique features is its myth-busting approach, critically examining popular narratives and presenting evidence-based counterpoints.

 
By blending academic rigor with engaging storytelling, "Ireland Unfolded" makes complex concepts accessible to a general audience while maintaining depth for knowledgeable readers. This comprehensive coverage and fresh insights make it an invaluable resource for students, history enthusiasts, and travelers seeking a deeper understanding of Ireland's hidden dimensions and global influence.

    Green Greenwich reveals the many green spaces in the Royal Borough of Greenwich in south east London. Candy Blackham has spent three years exploring the woods, flowery meadows, parks and nature reserves with her camera. She shares with us her enjoyment of the many sites which are found around almost every corner, and all within forty minutes of central London. Each site has a brief historical description and photographs which tempt us to go walking every day of the year as the trees change from bare branches to green leaves, and then the brilliant jewel-like colours of autumn. As you walk in the parks discover herons, foxes, many varieties of butterflies and other insects, and of course the ever-present ring-necked parakeets. Walk along the Thames, enjoy views from hilltops, explore the canals of Thamesmead, and take time to enjoy the calm of the natural surroundings. Candy Blackham has given us another unique book which invites us to go walking beyond our usual haunts and reminds us how fortunate we are to have these green spaces and how much they depend on our protection and vigilance so that they are not lost in London's growth.
