| 40 Shades of Green - A wry look at what it means to be Irish
By Des Geraghty Photography by Liam Blake
135 pages $37.50
More and More Irish....
Now the arrival of the "New Irish", hundreds of thousands from all continents, has added a fresh and sometimes exotic ingredient into the Irish mix. When you consider that the entire island population isn't much more thatn five million and approximately eighty million people proclaim their Irish identity, its difficult not to conclue that we should accept henceforth that being Irish is far more to do with a state of mind thatn a state of place.
This book takes a humourous and insightful look at the Irish and their past, present and potential future as a more diverse and multi-cultural society emerges.
......it could be argued that to choose your country and to make a personal investment of oneself in that society is a more deliberate and compelling option for nationality than any mere accident of birth'. - Des Geraghty |

| John Ford's Oscar-winning The Quiet Man (1952), based on the story by Maurice Walsh, is one of the best-loved and most popular films of all time, and nowadays one of the best-selling videos also. The Complete Guide To The Quiet Man is a celebration of every aspect of the film - the background, the stars, the shooting, the screenplay, the influences, and the many legends and stories that have grown up around it. This book could just as easily have been called "Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About The Quiet Man" - the shooting locations with dozens of detailed maps; a very comprehensive cast and crew list; hundreds of previously unseen photographs taken by both amateurs and professionals; a detailed analysis of every word of the dialogue; video timings of all the scenes; and above all the inside story and a thorough discussion of the whole Quiet Man phenomenon, which have all led to one of the greatest cult movies of all time. |

| When Hisotry Was Made
The Women of 1916 by Ruth Taillon foreword by Bernadette Maliskey
130 pages $18.95
From the Back Cover
The Easter Rebellion of 1916 was a watershed in Irish history, setting in motion a chain of events which culminated in the foundation of the modern Irish state. In the eighty years since the Rising there have been many books written on those events. Despite that, the story of the women in the Rising has been forgotten. Until now.
The Women of 1916 tells for the first time the story of the Irish rebellion from the point of view of the women involved. Drawing on a wealth of contemporary accounts, it shows how the women rebels took part in virtually every aspect of the work before and during the insurrection, and shared the sorrows and deprivations which followed.
The book names almost 200 women and gives details - often in their own words - of their involvement in this historic event. The 1916 Easter Rising was the crucible in which the Irish nat |
