Book, "Some of the 21 gardens presented here are "great" gardens in a tradition similar to that of the English country house. Some are more intimate or specialized, for the moist and generally benign Irish climate allows a wide variety of styles and, in some places the cultivation of rare subtropical plants. The heritage gardens were created over generations, even centuries, while other gardens were made in recent years and are still tended by their creators. Over half are open to the public. Discussions of individual gardens are illuminated with insights gained from conversations with the gardeners about their particular experiences and concerns." 192p. illus [col] map index.NOTE: Heavy [1.3 KG} Overisize volume[30x26x2 cm].

HART, MATTHEW

The Irish Game: A True Story of Crime and Art

London, Chatto & Windus. 2004. (ISBN: 0701177616) Trade Paperback. Book, In the annals of art theft, no case has matched-for sheer criminal panache the heist at Ireland's Russborough House in 1986. The Irish police knew right away that the mastermind was a seedy, rotund, and brazen Dublin gangster named Martin Cahill. Yet the great plunderincluding a Gainsborough, A Goya, two works by Rubens, and Vermeer's Lady Writing a Letter with Her Maid remained maddeningly at large for years. Cahill taunted the police with a string of other crimes, but in the end the paintings brought him low. The challenge of disposing of such famous works forced him to reach outside his familiar world into the international arena, and when he did, his pursuers were waiting. The movie-perfect sting that broke Cahill uncovered a maze of banking and drug-dealing connections that redefined the way police view art theft. As if that were not enough, the recovery of the Vermeer by then worth two hundred million dollars led to a remarkable discovery about the way Vermeer achieved his photographic perspective.220p.Col.plates, illus. index.

Flight from Famine: The Coming of the Irish to Canada

Toronto, Natural Heritage /Dundurn Press. 2009, 2nd Edition. (ISBN: 1554884187) Trade Paperback. Book, One of Canada's founding peoples, the Irish arrived in the Newfoundland fishing stations as early as the seventeenth century. By the eighteenth century they were establishing farms and settlements from Nova Scotia to the Great Lakes. Then, in the 1840s, came the failures of Ireland's potato crop, which people in the west of Ireland had depended on for survival. "And that," wrote a Sligo countryman, "was the beginning of the great trouble and famine that destroyed Ireland." Flight from Famine is the moving account of a Victorian-era tragedy that has echoes in our own time but seems hardly credible in the light of Ireland's modern prosperity. The famine survivors who helped build Canada in the years that followed Black '47 provide a testament to courage, resilience, and perseverance. By the time of Confederation, the Irish population of Canada was second only to the French, and four million Canadians can claim proud Irish descent 367p.illus, maps. bibliography.index.
