Summary

Further Experiences of an Irish R.M. revisits and expands upon the richly comedic and intricately detailed landscape of rural Irish life, first explored in its predecessor. This collection continues to delve into the misadventures and societal observations of an English resident magistrate navigating the complexities and idiosyncrasies of life in turn-of-the-century Ireland. Through a variety of literary styles, including sharp wit and masterful dialogue, the anthology encapsulates a period of significant cultural and political shifts, presenting an unparalleled window into Irish social history. The distinctiveness of this collection lies not only in its humor but in its nuanced portrayal of the Irish countryside and its inhabitants, making it a standout contribution to the canon of Anglo-Irish literature. The collaborative works of Martin Ross and E. Óe. Somerville stand as a testament to their collective genius, offering a vivid exploration of a pivotal era in Irish history. Both authors, hailing from notable Anglo-Irish backgrounds, bring a unique insider-outsider perspective to their narratives, skillfully navigating the tensions and bonds between different communities. Their contributions are emblematic of the late 19th and early 20th-century literary movements that sought to document and critique the socio-political landscapes of their time. Further Experiences of an Irish R.M. appeals to enthusiasts of historical and cultural narratives, inviting readers into the heart of rural Ireland through the lens of humor and satire. This anthology not only serves as an enlightening journey into a bygone era but also encourages a dialogue between the historical context of its creation and the contemporary moment, making it an essential read for those who wish to deepen their understanding of Irish culture and its literary expressions.

    In this memoir, the Scottish naturalist and author of Ring of Bright Water recounts his post-World War II life as a shark fisherman in the Hebrides. A shark fishery based on the tiny Hebridean island of Soay was the beginning of Gavin Maxwell’s enduring love affair with the west coast of Scotland. This, his first book, tells the whole story—the challenge and drama of the shark hunt, the development of catching techniques and equipment, the men who worked with him, and some of the frustrations of starting a new enterprise in post-war Scotland. Every chapter is packed with action and anecdote. In each there are also beautifully observed descriptions of sky, sea and the individual islands of the Hebrides as well as their wildlife—from gannets, puffins, Manx shearwaters, and fulmars to seals, dolphins, and whales.

    A memoir from the New York Times bestselling author of Warning of War and Marines of Autumn, James Brady's The Scariest Place in the World. Half a century after he fought there as a young lieutenant of Marines, James Brady returns to the brooding Korean ridgelines and mountains to sound taps for a generation. It's been years since Brady first wrote of Korea in The Coldest War, drawing raves from Walter Cronkite and The New York Times, which called it "a superb personal memoir of the way it was."  In the spring of 2003, Brady and Pulitzer Prize–winning combat photographer Eddie Adams flew in Black Hawk choppers and trekked the Demilitarized Zone where it meanders into North Korea, interviewing four-star generals and bunking in with tough U.S. recon troops, in Brady's words, "raw meat on the point of a sharpened stick." Brady recalls that first time on bloody Hill 749, the men who died there, what happened to the Marines who lived to make it home, and experiences yet again the emotional pull of a lifelong love affair with the Corps in which they all served. Brady summons up the past and illuminates the present, be it the Korea of "the forgotten war," the Yanks who fought there long ago, or today's soldiers standing wary sentinel over "the scariest place in the world." The result is uplifting, inspiring, often heartbreaking, and this Brady memoir proves as powerful as his first.

    Solace is that feeling of calm and comfort, that sense of peace that is all around us when we are open to finding it.
Writer and photographer Catherine Drea explores the solace to be found in nature and creativity. She reflects on loss, the cycle of life and the healing power of family and community. She muses on the joy of finding a place to call home, the escape that travel brings and the exhilaration of plunging into our waters – all the while embracing the therapeutic power of observing the ordinary and the everyday.

With the passing seasons, her camera captures fleeting moments in nature – the light and lie of the land with its precious wildlife: among them sentinel robins, elusive Irish hares and serene swans.

Solace is quite simply a balm for the soul.

'In this beautiful book Catherine Drea explores deeply emotive issues, calms the mind, soothes the soul, and focuses her sensitive lens on the wonders of the natural world.'
