Book Description
These evocative images of rural life form a narrative thread with the not-so-distant past. Fitzgerald's camera focuses on the back roads of the countryside, and records intimate moments of people in their cottages and farms. The dimly-lit rooms of Ireland prior to the arrival of electricity are eloquently remembered in his first-hand account of his childhood years; his early experiences observing light and shadow in a world illuminated by candlelight. The result is a unique album that is both compelling and graceful.

Book Description
'Images of Ballinasloe' is a pictorial narration of one of County Galway's most venerable old towns. Declan Kelly has created a visual chronicle of a town steeped in history. He charts its progress from Patrician times down to the present day. It was through Ballinasloe's precincts that the armies of Aughrim marched into a bloody and decisive battle in 1691, and it was through its streets that Cardinal Wiseman, the leader of the English Church after the Restoration, was triumphantly drawn along in his carriage as over twenty thousand people went wild with joy. But His Eminence was no Ballinasloe man, and in 1956 a crowd of almost thirty thousand showed up to cheer on Joe Higgins, a native of the town, and the first 'King of the Fair'. In nearby Garbally House, on one occasion, Lady Clancarty 'Belle Bilton', a former music hall star, showed her contempt for the county families who turned their noses up at her lowly birth, by dancing a brilliant ballet that saw her reach her feet to the magnificent candelabra in derision of their snobbery. All of these events and more are regaled by Declan Kelly in this wonderful collection of both old and new photographs, most of which have never before been published. The reader is transported back in time and taken on a journey through the winding corridors of a town rich in history, culture and tradition.

Book Description
This is a bold and timely analysis of the conflict in Northern Ireland, offering a comprehensive, up-to-date and constructively critical evaluation of the massive outpouring of literature on the subject. John McGarry and Brendan O'Leary examine the most common explanations of the conflict - nationalist, unionist, Marxist, religious, cultural and economic - highlighting their shortcomings and placing Northern Ireland within a comparative context. Synthesizing their conclusions, the authors advance a realistic but imaginative prognosis for conflict-resolution in this most troubled region.

Book Description
This thematic book, based on Irish photographs 1891-1920, focuses on the importance of visual resources to scholars of Ireland. Some of the images belong to the Tuke collection held at the National Photographic Archive, Dublin but the majority of the images used in this volume stem from the extensive collections of Belfast-based photographer, Robert J. Welch. His professional career spanned almost sixty years and being a careful observer of all aspects of life inevitably his work carries a wealth of previously underused historical data. Prolific as he was, his images have been dispersed worldwide so this work endeavours to reunite the various strands of Welch's interests. To this end three of the contributors Dr. Vivienne Pollock, Ulster Museum, Marie Boran, Special Collections Librarian, NUI Galway (NUIG) and Maggie Burns, Librarian, Birmingham Central Library will account the provenance and nature of the Welch material held at their respective repositories. Sara Smyth, National Photographic Archive, Dublin, focuses on the Tuke collection held in Dublin, while Dr. Gail Baylis, University of Ulster, Coleraine, critically assesses the relationship between the photographer, lens and subject. Dr. Justin Carville, Institute of Art, Design and Technology, Dun Laoghaire, will describe the significance of Welch's contribution to colonial photography. Other contributors, Dr. Margaret Ã?Â?Ã?Â? hÃ?Â?Ã?Â?gartaigh (Victoria University, Wellington), Dr. Ciara Breathnach (UL), Dr. Anne O Dowd (National Museum of Ireland), Dr. Mary Clancy (NUIG), Dr. Jonathan Bell and Dr. Mervyn Watson (Ulster Folk and Transport Museum), Lorna Moloney (NUIG) and Ciaran Walsh (Siamsa TÃ?Â?Ã?Â-re, Tralee) explore more specific themes like the impact of professionals on rural life, housing, dress, women's work, agriculture, regional differences and the notion of Welch as an ethnographer.Ã?Â?Ã?Â?
