Hardback. Zustand: Good. From the Giller Prize-winning author of The Bishop's Man comes a bestselling classic childhood memoir, full of humour and heartache, set in Cape Breton Island Linden MacIntyre remembers vividly the day construction started on the causeway. September 15, 1952, was the day that Change--always for the better and always from away--arrived to link his small Cape Breton village with the wide world of the mainland. With its grand promises of jobs and riches and progress, the building of the Canso Causeway also became a potent personal icon for MacIntyre, the road that would bring him closer to the father who was always away. In a highly evocative memoir--at once a vibrant coming-of-age story, a portrait of a vanishing way of life and a luminous reflection on fathers and sons--MacIntyre fills his pages with vivid characters. From his grandmother, the Gaelic-speaking Peigeag, who, it was rumoured, had "special powers" that could both cure and curse, to Dan Rory, the father MacIntyre struggles to know and love, these are people who inhabit a time and a place that is on the brink of transformation. No one knows this more than MacIntyre, his narrative voice ringing true on every page, the voice of a young boy both mystified and captivated by the worlds he straddles. Shot through with humour and humanity, Causeway is an extraordinary book, a memoir that sets a new standard for the genre. &nbsp.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Giant's Causeway is truly deserving of its titanic title. As Northern Ireland's only World Heritage Site, it strikes wonder into the hundreds of thousands of people who visit each year. However, as you would expect of a geological phenomenon millions of years old (if you go for the scientists' explanation over the one about giants meeting to battle on a specially constructed causeway), it has been inspiring visitors and locals for hundreds of years. This guidebooks explores both the science and the myth, and introduces many fascinating characters, some fancied, others real, some world-famous, others local legends. As well as the Causeway's long history and the tall stories that abound, this guidebook will show you some of the other natural delights of this place. For a coastline so exposed to wind and sea, as well as countless human footsteps, the Causeway is home to a great variety of flora and fauna. Featuring stunning photography throughout, this guidebook aims to convey some of the wonder of the Giant's Causeway, to explain why it is so unusual and so important as a natural phenomenon, and to share some of the many tales told about it. Much more than stones. Available in English, simplified Chinese, French, German, Italian, and Spanish.…
