Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Neil Jordan: Works for the Page surveys the short stories and novels of one of Ireland's leading creative practitioners, altering the once well-mapped landscape of contemporary Irish fiction by revealing a most remarkable figure: a mature novelist who has gone largely overlooked by the academy; a writer with identifiable periods, an established back catalogue, and solid links to the literary establishment.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - An exceptional collection of original scholarship on the historical Irish Atlantic by leading scholars of modern Ireland and Irish-America.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This book is a history of the birds of County Cork from the earliest times to the present. It provides a comprehensive account of the ecology of all species known to have occurred in the county, with an emphasis on distribution, population change and migration. There has been no tradition in Ireland for the publication of county avifaunas, as has been the case in the UK for over 200 years; while this is not the first such book for Ireland, no previous publication treats each species in such depth. This sets it apart as unique in an Irish context.
