How has Irish nature been studied? How has it been expressed in literature and popular culture? How has it influenced, and been influenced by, political, economic, and social change? These long-neglected questions are pursued in Nature in Ireland, a pioneering collection of original essays by leading naturalists, science writers, and cultural historians who bring us from the geological prehistory of Ireland to the environmental threats of the late twentieth century.

Book Description
Excerpt from A Flora of the North-East of Ireland Including the Phanerogamia, the Cryptogamia Vascularia, and the Muscineae The present work is an attempt to give a full and reliable account of the native vegetation of the Counties of Down, Antrim, and Derry; an undertaking which was projected some years since by the late Thomas H. Corry, M.A., in conjunction with the surviving Editor. That it has not sooner appeared is due to the lamentably sudden and premature death of Mr. Corry, and to the fact that the writer could give but a very limited portion of time to the collection and revision of the material. As this volume will doubtless fall into the hands of many who may not know of the fate that befel him who urged on the project, a brief statement on the subject may be allowable. Early in 1882 Mr. Corry was appointed by the Royal Irish Academy to examine and report on that rich botanical district, the Ben Bulben range of mountains in County Sligo. In pursuance of this arrangement he visited these mountains during the summer of that year, being accompanied by two enthusiastic botanical friends, Mr. Charles Dickson, solicitor, of Belfast, and Mr. R. P. Vowell, of Dublin. On this visit many specimens were collected, and a valuable series of notes was made, but the extent of the work was so great that it was found impossible to survey the district satisfactorily in one season. It was, therefore, decided to revisit the locality during the following summer, and to include more or less of the district adjacent to, though not strictly a part of, the mountains in question. In fulfilment of this plan, Mr. Corry and Mr. Dickson arrived in the town of Sligo on the evening of Wednesday, 8th August, 1883. Immediately above the town of Sligo lies Lough Gill, a romantically-situated sheet of water, whose many picturesque aspects form the chief attraction of the locality. This lake, at the base of the richest mountain district of Ireland, seemed likely to reward a botanical exploration, and it was settled that the next day should be devoted to Lough Gill. The appearance of the following morning was not at all inviting. Heavy showers of rain were frequent, and were accompanied by such sudden and fierce squalls of wind that the pedestrian was, for the time being, foiled in his attempts to proceed. Notwithstanding the forbidding aspect of the weather, and undeterred by the warnings of the boatmen, our friends decided to carry out the programme as arranged.
