| blue guide ireland: Adventure Guide to Ireland Tina Neylon, 2004 Aiming at making the visitor a participant rather than just a spectator, The author succeeds admirably in her descriptions, from Ireland's pub life to its prehistoric sites, The spectacular Cliffs of Moher and kissing the Blarney Stone. Neylon takes us on a fabulous and thorough journey throughout this beautiful country. Where to stay is thoroughly researched, with choices from rentals to government-approved hostels, B&Bs and RV parks. The Irish author's book is a compilation of how best to enjoy the delights her country holds for visitors. --Edyth Shepard, Anton Community Newspapers. Excellent choice. This travel series is one of the best . The book is very well detailed and user-friendly. It's well priced, too, and a great bargain. I consider a good guidebook essential when visiting a new place and I was thrilled with this one. The writer is from Ireland And The book is filled with her insider knowledge. The photos and maps are great, As are the driving instructions. If you buy one guidebook to Ireland, then get this one - it has everything you need to know!!!! --A reader. I had the chance to take a look at the sample chapter (Dublin) that's available on your website and I have to say I am very impressed with layout and detailed information. I have long been a fan of the Lonely Planet Guides, but I compared your Dublin chapter To The one in Lonely Planet and am far more impressed with your guide. I look forward to reading through the rest of the guide when it arrives! --Ireland Tour Operator. Ireland is steeped in history, tradition and culture, making it one of the most popular vacation destinations worldwide. Its story is told in centuries-old castles (some of which now welcome overnight guests); stone circles strategically placed to shine in the winter solstice moon; and, Of course, In its pubs, where local residents gladly share a pint and a tale. Its cities are a treat to explore, with winding streets packed with tiny antique stores. Trips along the coast take you to traditional fishing villages and past some of the world s best golf courses. This book, written by an Ireland native, tells it all. |
| blue guide ireland: The Playboy of the Western World J. M. Synge, 2022-09-16 J. M. Synge's 'The Playboy of the Western World' is a compelling play set in rural Ireland that explores themes of identity, rebellion, and the power of storytelling. Written in 1907, it caused controversy due to its portrayal of Irish characters questioning traditional values. The dialogue is filled with humor, wit, and poignant moments, making it a classic of Irish literature. Synge's use of regional dialect and vivid descriptions of the landscape create a sense of place that immerses the reader in the world of the play. James Matthew Synge, known for his contributions to the Irish Literary Revival, drew inspiration from his travels throughout Ireland and his interactions with the local people. His keen observations of Irish society and culture inform the rich characterization and authentic dialogue in 'The Playboy of the Western World.' Synge's deep connection to the Irish landscape and its people shines through in this thought-provoking play. I highly recommend 'The Playboy of the Western World' to readers interested in exploring Irish literature, the Irish Literary Revival, or anyone looking for a thought-provoking play that challenges societal norms and traditions. |

| blue guide ireland: GOLFING IN IRELAND Robert Armstrong, 2007-04-30 Unlike many other books written by American writers for an Aemrican market, Golfing in Ireland is notable in that real understanding, humour and irreverence are key to the visitor being told exactly what they need to know.-The KerrymanIreland is Europe's hottest golfing destination and one of the most popular golf venues for Americans eager to sample the fabled links. Author Rob Armstrong predicted the Irish golf boom in the first edition of Golfing in Ireland; in the third, he revisits old courses that have undergone revision or expansion and uncovers the best of Ireland's new courses. In his crisp, irreverent style, he also points out those courses that have not stood up, those that have been poorly maintained or managed, and those that have simply proved disappointing.Profiled in this edition are: the magnificent Old Head Golf Club in County Cork, one of the most exciting new golf courses in the world; the extraordinarily beautiful new Ring of Kerry Golf and Country Club in County Kerry that overlooks Kenmare Bay; and the expanded golf complex at Ballyliffin in County Donegal. He also reviews several new hotels and restaurants that cater to golfers and are near some of Ireland's best courses. Armstrong's travel tips include a discussion of the Euro, which will soon become the unit of currency in the Irish Republic, and a warning about the proliferation of Irish golf tours. |
| blue guide ireland: In Fact Mark Henry, 2021-10-22 This optimistic guide to Ireland at 100 tells our national story through facts and stats, placing Ireland under the microscope to chart 100 achievements of the past 100 years. Ireland remained one of the most poverty-stricken nations in Europe for decades after the State was formed. Yet now, it has the second-highest standard of living in the world. Author Mark Henry has gathered the data to tell an under-told story of our national progress across every aspect of Irish life. He identifies the factors that account for Ireland's extraordinary success, as well as the five most prominent psychological biases that prevent us from recognising how far we have come. He also highlights the greatest challenges that we must now address if we are to continue to progress in the century ahead. While there is still more to be done, In Fact illustrates that Ireland, for all its imperfections, is in a much better state than you might think. |
| blue guide ireland: The Selected Papers of Jane Addams Jane Addams, 2010-10-01 Venturing into Usefulness, the second volume of The Selected Papers of Jane Addams, documents the experience of this major American historical figure, intellectual, social activist, and author between June 1881, when at twenty-one she had just graduated from Rockford Female Seminary, and early 1889, when she was on the verge of founding the Hull-House settlement with Ellen Gates Starr. During these years she was developing into the social reformer and advocate of women's rights, socioeconomic justice, and world peace she would eventually become. She evolved from a high-minded but inexperienced graduate of a women's seminary into an educated woman and seasoned traveler well-exposed to elite culture and circles of philanthropy. Artfully annotated, The Selected Papers of Jane Addams offers an evocative choice of correspondence, photographs, and other primary documents, presenting a multi-layered narrative of Addams's personal and emerging professional life. Themes inaugurated in the previous volume are expanded here, including dilemmas of family relations and gender roles; the history of education; the dynamics of female friendship; religious belief and ethical development; changes in opportunities for women; and the evolution of philanthropy, social welfare, and reform ideas. |
| blue guide ireland: The Deep Blue Between Ayesha Harruna Attah, 2022-03-01 Twin sisters Hassana and Husseina have always shared their lives. But after a raid on their village in 1892, the twins are torn apart. Taken in different directions, far from their home in rural West Africa, each sister finds freedom and a new start. Hassana settles in in the city of Accra, where she throws herself into working for political and social change. Husseina travels to Salvador, Brazil, where she becomes immersed in faith, worshipping spirits that bridge the motherland and the new world. Separated by an ocean, they forge new families, ward off dangers, and begin to truly know themselves. As the twins pursue their separate paths, they remain connected through their shared dreams. But will they ever manage to find each other again? “Uplifting . . . sizzles with sister-love and magic. What an incredible storyteller!”—Yaba Badoe, author of A Jigsaw of Fire and Stars |
