Ella Young (1867-1956) was a protestant who left the safety and comfort of her upper middle class life in Dublin to journey to the West of Ireland, a land of traditional people and a surviving outpost of Celtic culture and language. Young not only recorded the stories of magic, ...             The Search for Spirituality: Seven Paths Within the Catholic Tradition Liffey Press, 2003             John McGahern: From the Local to the Universal (Contemporary Irish Writers Ser) Eamon Maher Liffey Press, 2004             The Art Economy: An Investor's Guide to the Art Market Clare Mcandrew The Liffey Press, 2008             The Corporate Culture Handbook: How to Plan, Implement, and Measure a Successful Culture Change Programme2 reviews Gabrielle O'donovan The Liffey Press, 2007 EDITOR - KNOWLEDGE IRELAND "It's a truism that we learn more from mistakes than from our successes. It took some pretty spectacular - and high profile - foul-ups to bring the issue of corporate culture to many people's minds. Not surprisingly much of the coverage has looked negatively on those cultures and rightly so, but it's tempting and easy to make the general assumption that the larger the organization, the more ...             The Story of the Irish Pub: An Intoxicating History of the Licensed Trade in I1 review Cian Molloy Liffey Press, 2003 More than one hundred of the oldest family-owned pubs The Story Of The Irish Pub: An Intoxicating History Of The Licensed Trade In Ireland by Cian Molloy is an engaging and recommended survey of the social history, origins, and evolution of Irish pubs, some of which have been owned by the same family for a century or more. A uncommon and involving study of a unique cultural gathering place and experience (and peppered with anecdotes and ...             For the Kids 2: A Family-friendly Guide to Outings and Activities Liffey Press, 2006             Micheal Farrell: The Life and Work of an Irish Artist David Farrell Liffey Press, 2007             Irish Moves: An Illustrated History of Dance And Physical Theatre in Ireland1 review Deidre Mulrooney Liffey Press, 2006 Probably the best commercial work on the topic to date There is a serious lack of books on Irish dancing that are not aimed at children or are not avaiable exclusively to an academic audience (for example, dissertations). It seems to me that before this, the only publicly available book on a comparable level was Helen Brennan's work- which is not nearly as sophisticated in terms of dance theory (although Brennan's book is well written, accessible, ...             For the Kids!: A Family-Friendly Guide to Outings and Activities for Children in Ireland The Liffey Press, 2003             We Lost Our Baby: One Couple's Story of Miscarriage and Its Aftermath Siobhan O'neill-white, David White Liffey Press, 2007             The God Shift: Our Changing Perception Of The Ultimate Mystery1 review Adrian B. Smith Liffey Press, 2005 Good message, excessive at times The book has the basic message that God lives within all of us as well as beyond us, and that we understand him through our human experiences. This "new" perception of the ultimate mystery is a good perception and explained well in the book. The author up front states that his material is not peer reviewed nor backed up by lots of references, and is basically his own thoughts unchallenged. ...             The Scandal of Ulysses: The Life And Afterlife of a Twentieth Century Masterpiece1 review Bruce Arnold Liffey Press, 2005 Enjoyable narrative on editorial & literary dissension This book is written by an ideal reader for Ulysses--outside the Joyce industry that (mostly professionally and from within academia) manufactures readings of Joyce and those who read him. But close enough to take us inside the passionate debates that have raged since around WW1, hard to believe, about the state of what we see packaged as the text of Ulysses. [Out of the whole volume, I only ...             Motherhood Silenced: The Experiences of Natural Mothers on Adoption Reu Ruth J. A. Kelly Liffey Press, 2006             Island of the Setting Sun: In Search of Ireland's Ancient Astronomers1 review Anthony Murphy Liffey Press, 2008 ireland of the setting sun This absorbing book is a joy to read, and I have given it pride of place on my favourites' shelf. Written in an easy story style, it yet presents an immense amount of innovative, intense, and wide-ranging research into the extraordinary Neolithic monuments of central eastern Ireland. Alignments are described that stretch across the ancient landscape, from the estuary of the river Boyne, to ...             Seamus Heaney: Creating Irelands of the Mind (Contemporary Irish Writers and Filmmakers) (Contemporary Irish ... Eugene O'Brien The Liffey Press, 2002             Conor McPherson: Imagining Mischief (Contemporary Irish Writers Ser)4 reviews Gerald C. Wood Liffey Press, 2003 McPherson is great I'm glad to see McPherson's work getting some study, especially in the US. I found this book to be a great introduction to the Irishman's works, and the author, Wood, seems to really know his stuff. Not only that, but the book is really readable. So much scholarship is poorly written, but this book is clear and intelligent without being confusing. For anyone interested in contemporary Irish ...             The Spire: and Other Essays in Modern Irish Culture Bruce Arnold Liffey Press, 2004             David Trimble: The Prince Of Peace Frank Millar Liffey Press, 2005              search for books activities, afterlife, aftermath, astronomers, changing, contemporary, corporate, creating, experiences, family-friendly, filmmakers, friendly, illustrated, imagining, implement, intoxicating, irelands, masterpiece, mcpherson, miscarriage, motherhood, perception, physical, programme, spirituality, successful, tradition, twentieth, ultimate, universal books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
