Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Ireland's heritage is being steadily whittled away by human exploitation, pollution and other aspects of modern development. This could represent a serious loss to the nation.' Irish Government Report, June 1969 Nature in Ireland is disappearing at an alarming rate. Overfishing, industrial-scale farming and pollution have decimated wildlife habitats and populations. In a single lifetime, vast shoals of herring, rivers bursting with salmon, and bogs alive with flocks of curlew and geese have all become folk memories. Coastal and rural communities are struggling to survive; the foundations of our tourism and agricultural sectors are being undermined. The lack of political engagement frequently sees the state in the European Court of Justice for environmental issues. Pádraic Fogarty authoritatively charts how this grim failure to manage our natural resources has impoverished our country. But all is not lost: he also reveals possibilities for the future, describing how we can fill our seas with fish, farm in tune with nature, and create forests that benefit both people and wildlife. He makes a persuasive case for the return of long-lost species like wild boar, cranes and wolves, showing how the interests of the country and its nature can be reconciled. A provocative call to arms, Whittled Away presents an alternative path that could lead us all to a brighter future.
Download or read book Social change and everyday life in Ireland 1850 1922 written by Caitriona Clear and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2013-07-19 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Men and women who were born, grew up and died in Ireland between 1850 and 1922 made decisions - to train, to emigrate, to stay at home, to marry, to stay single, to stay at school - based on the knowledge and resources they had at the time. This, the first comprehensive social history of Ireland for the years 1850-1922 to appear since 1981, tries to understand that knowledge and to discuss those resources, for men and women at all social levels on the island as a whole. Original research, particularly on extreme poverty and public health, is supplemented by neglected published sources - local history journals, popular autobiography, newspapers. Folklore and Irish language sources are used extensively. All recent scholarly books in Irish social history are, of course, referred to throughout the book, but it is a lively read, reproducing the voices of the people and the stories of individuals whenever it can, questioning much of the accepted wisdom of Irish historiography over the past five decades. Statistics are used from time to time for illustrative purposes, but tables and graphs are consigned to the appendix at the back. There are some illustrations. An idea summary for the student, loaded with prompts for future research, this book is written in a non-cliched, jargon-free style aimed at the general reader.

This book was released on 1999 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What I like most about FitzgeraldÃ?Â?Ã?Â-s informed and well-presented pamphlet is this: wherever I go on our maritime coast I see - frequently in pubs - old pictures depicting busy harbours of yesteryear piled high with barrels for herring or mackerel and jobs for all in season. I search in vain for any documentation on this thriving activity. Fitzgerald has done it and done it well for Baltimore.Ã?Â?Ã?Â- The Irish Skippe

Download or read book Prior Roger Outlaw of Kilmainham written by Eithne Massey and published by Maynooth Studies in Irish Loca. This book was released on 2000 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As many corrodians were government officials, Outlaw created a network of support within the administration which left his position virtually impregnable, even against such enemies as the powerful bishop of Ossory. Outlaw's role in the Kyteler witchcraft case and his achievements as prior and bureaucrat are looked at in the context of other Hospitaller priors and the pattern of post-holding in the fourteenth century. Against a background of war, famine, feuding and treachery a picture emerges of the way in which a socio-economic construct such as the corrody could be used to support an exceptionally successful career and create a unique community."--Jacket.

Download or read book Dugort Achill Island 1831 1861 written by Mealla C. Ní Ghiobúin and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work traces the evolution of the settlement at Dugort from barren land to thriving village in a period of ten to twelve years. By the mid-1840s it was firmly established with its schools, reclaimed farmland and luxuriant crops. Secondary settlements were also established at Mweelin and on the island of Inishbiggle. However, very strong opposition to these developments came from the Roman Catholic archbishop of Tuam, and the priests he sent to the island. The great famine and its impact on the Mission, the departure of its founder Edward Nangle together with the falling off of voluntary contributions and emigration to the colonies and America, all contributed to the final collapse of this Protestant missionary experiment.
