Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Geographical Distribution of Irish Ability The motive which induced me to prepare this book was not to contrast one Irish county with another, still less to exalt any particular localities above others less favoured by nature Indeed, if the purpose to be served were simply one of gratifying a semi-scientific curiosity, the task would not have been undertaken. My real object was to put on record, in as brief a space as possible, the surprising manifestations of Irish intellect, and to give, in a narrative form, as much biographical information as could be collected. A biographical dictionary will not appeal to many Irish readers, who are, nevertheless, anxious to know what Ireland has contributed to the world's knowledge and improvement. More than one interest may be served by the method here adopted. And the list of names given in the index, which runs into thousands, is by far the fullest that has ever been compiled. Even Webb's "Compendium of Irish Biography" does not contain one-third of the men and women named in this book-which is no disparagement to that admirable compilation so far as it goes. The need of a really comprehensive dictionary of Irish biography is very urgent, as all students of the subject are aware. The present attempt at a survey of the field does not profess to be complete - many names have been inadvertently omitted, others from the difficulty of obtaining the necessary particulars.

Download or read book Contributions Towards a Cybele Hibernica written by David Moore and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-29 with total page 508 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Contributions Towards a Cybele Hibernica: Being Outlines of the Geographical Distribution of Plants in Ireland The present work originated in a desire to furnish not only a revised list of the wild plants of Ireland, but also a classified summary of their localities. Thirty years having now elapsed since the publication of Mackay's Flora Hibernica within which period many additions have been made to Irish Botany, many plants have become better known, and the range of others has been greatly extended. With the view of meeting the requirements of Geographical Botany, we have endeavoured to arrange our materials somewhat after the plan of Mr. Watson's Cid/bale Britan our title); and thus we hope that the details collected will be found methodized in such order as to be available to those who study the range of plants, while the traveller will also be able to use our book as a botanist's guide through Ireland. With three* excellent and portable Floras in the hands of British Botanists, it has been thought unnecessary to draw up fresh descriptions of the Irish species; this would have too much increased the bulk of our volume without adding to its usefulness. And, as some addi tional Species may be hereafter found in Ireland, we believe that the use of some book containing descriptions of the entire series of British plants will be found advantageous.

Book Synopsis How the Irish Became White by : Noel Ignatiev
Download or read book How the Irish Became White written by Noel Ignatiev and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-11-12 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: '...from time to time a study comes along that truly can be called ‘path breaking,’ ‘seminal,’ ‘essential,’ a ‘must read.’ How the Irish Became White is such a study.' John Bracey, W.E.B. Du Bois Department of Afro-American Studies, University of Massachussetts, Amherst The Irish came to America in the eighteenth century, fleeing a homeland under foreign occupation and a caste system that regarded them as the lowest form of humanity. In the new country – a land of opportunity – they found a very different form of social hierarchy, one that was based on the color of a person’s skin. Noel Ignatiev’s 1995 book – the first published work of one of America’s leading and most controversial historians – tells the story of how the oppressed became the oppressors; how the new Irish immigrants achieved acceptance among an initially hostile population only by proving that they could be more brutal in their oppression of African Americans than the nativists. This is the story of How the Irish Became White.

Download or read book Irish Classics written by Declan Kiberd and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2001 with total page 726 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A celebration of the tenacious life of the enduring Irish classics, this book by one of Irish writing's most eloquent readers offers a brilliant and accessible survey of the greatest works since 1600 in Gaelic and English, which together have shaped one of the world's most original literary cultures. In the course of his discussion of the great seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Gaelic poems of dispossession, and of later work in that language that refuses to die, Declan Kiberd provides vivid and idiomatic translations that bring the Irish texts alive for the English-speaking reader. Extending from the Irish poets who confronted modernity as a cataclysm, and who responded by using traditional forms in novel and radical ways, to the great modern practitioners of such paradoxically conservative and revolutionary writing, Kiberd's work embraces three sorts of Irish classics: those of awesome beauty and internal rigor, such as works by the Gaelic bards, Yeats, Synge, Beckett, and Joyce; those that generate a myth so powerful as to obscure the individual writer and unleash an almost superhuman force, such as the Cuchulain story, the lament for Art O'Laoghaire, and even Dracula; and those whose power exerts a palpable influence on the course of human action, such as Swift's Drapier's Letters, the speeches of Edmund Burke, or the autobiography of Wolfe Tone. The book closes with a moving and daring coda on the Anglo-Irish agreement, claiming that the seeds of such a settlement were sown in the works of Irish literature. A delight to read throughout, Irish Classics is a fitting tribute to the works it reads so well and inspires us to read, and read again.

Book Synopsis In Praise of Copying by : Marcus Boon
Download or read book In Praise of Copying written by Marcus Boon and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2010 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is devoted to a deceptively simple but original argument: that copying is an essential part of being human, that the ability to copy is worthy of celebration, and that, without recognizing how integral copying is to being human, we cannot understand ourselves or the world we live in. In spite of the laws, stigmas, and anxieties attached to it, the word “copying” permeates contemporary culture, shaping discourse on issues from hip hop to digitization to gender reassignment, and is particularly crucial in legal debates concerning intellectual property and copyright. Yet as a philosophical concept, copying remains poorly understood. Working comparatively across cultures and times, Marcus Boon undertakes an examination of what this word means—historically, culturally, philosophically—and why it fills us with fear and fascination. He argues that the dominant legal-political structures that define copying today obscure much broader processes of imitation that have constituted human communities for ages and continue to shape various subcultures today. Drawing on contemporary art, music and film, the history of aesthetics, critical theory, and Buddhist philosophy and practice, In Praise of Copying seeks to show how and why copying works, what the sources of its power are, and the political stakes of renegotiating the way we value copying in the age of globalization.
