You could be forgiven for thinking that Irish innovation began in the Celtic Tiger era. But the innovative Neolithic Irish built an observatory at Newgrange 5,000 years ago, before the pyramids were even built!

Did you know that the Irish invented the hypodermic syringe? And the ejector seat? And the modern submarine?

All of this information and much, much more can be found in Ingenious Ireland: A county-by-county exploration of Irish mysteries and marvels, by Mary Mulvihill - a unique celebration of our scientists and inventors, our natural history and landscape and our industrial heritage.

Ingenious Ireland is the first book of its kind ever to be published in Ireland. It brings together a wealth of information drawn from a huge number of sources and is packed with fascinating facts about Irish wildlife, local history, our landscape, inventors and oddities - the list goes on and on.
