Download or read book The Burren and the Aran Islands written by Carleton Shepherd Jones and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Burren and the Aran Islands form a region renowned for its geology, flora and archaeology. Possibly the greatest interest is in the archaeology but the ancient monuments are often perceived as shrouded in mystery and beyond explanation. Recent studies have shed considerable light on the functions of these monuments and the people who built them. This book presents these archaeological interpretations in an attractive and engaging manner. After a brief introduction, the book is divided into two parts, the Burren and the Aran Islands. Significant sites are highlighted while "panel" features explain more tangential topics, e.g., how to build a wedge tomb. Contents include Colonization and Early Settlement, From Neolithic to Bronze Age. The Celts, The Arrival of Christianity, Early Medieval Chiefs and their Stone Forts, and finally Later Tower Houses and Military Constructions. In this heavily illustrated book, captions are often extensive and can be read separately or with the text. Overall it can be read cover-to-cover or dipped into. Dr. Jones' writing transforms the dry academic material of excavation reports and archaeological inventories into an engaging and understandable story. He is also the author of "Wild Plants of the Burren & Aran Islands which is available from Dufour.

Book excerpt: The Burren, which covers large tracts of County Clare and parts of County Galway and has an outpost in the Aran Islands, is a magical landscape of limestone pavements, underground waterways and cave systems. It is remarkable for its extraordinary flora, with alpine, arctic and Mediterranean species mysteriously surviving side by side in a most unlikely habitat. Inhabited since earliest times, the Burren's landscape has been shaped by human activity almost as much as by natural forces, and is among the most archaeologically intact areas of Europe. This colourfully illustrated exploration covers the geology, archaeology and ecology of this extraordinary natural wonderland. It examines the cultural landscape - the influence of human habitation, history and farming practices on the area - as well as taking a look at the natural history of the land and its flora and fauna. The Burren's role as a source of inspiration for writers and artists is traced and the book concludes with a short gazetteer of information centres and attractions which both the casual visitor and the more dedicated devotee of the Burren will find most useful.

Book excerpt: "Finally, after fifteen years, Jack Tennant is going home. Against his better judgment, he has succumbed to his mother's guilt-laden pleas that he see his estranged father, who suffers from "locked-in syndrome," a condition that leaves him fully intact mentally but unable to speak or move, save for blinking his eye. Jack's do-gooder girlfriend believes that this trip is a chance for Jack to achieve peace with his family. But Jack's no fool: he knows better - and he knows there's a lot his girlfriend doesn't realize about the Tennant family. She doesn't know about the history between Jack and his father. She doesn't know about Jack's alcoholic brother, Pressman. And she doesn't know the truth about his brother Dex, who drowned when Jack was very young - and about whom his parents have never said a word." "With his family teetering on the brink, Jack finds himself in the uncomfortable position of having to make a decision he's avoided for years. Should he walk away from his past and leave his crazy family to solve their problems without him? Or should he try to mend fences that have been broken for as long as he can remember?"--BOOK JACKET.
