Viking Age Dublin
by Ruth Johnson
The Vikings have had a huge influence on the city of Dublin but, until recently, little was known about their lifestyle. For almost a millennium, their legacy was preserved under the streets and buildings of the city, until modern excavations unearthed a wealth of archaeological evidence.
This fascinating book gives a synopsis of the most recent finds in Dublin and its surrounding suburbs. Wonderfully illustrated, it paints a vivid and enlightening picture of life in Viking Dublin.

Retrospections of Dorothea Herbert 1770-1806
Reminiscent of the novels of Jane Austen, Retropections of Dorothea Herbert 1770-1806 tells the extraordinary, true story of the life of a clergyman's daughter in polite, 18th century Irish society.
Following the collapse of her love affair with the handsome John Roe, Dorothea Herbert poured her heart out onto the pages of her diaries. She described her family life, background and education, and gave lively accounts of social events, grand balls and sparkling parties. But in doing so, she also created a priceless historical record, detailing the life, expectations and social conditions of an educated young woman of the time.

Wild and Wonderful
by Éanna Ni Lamhna
In her own inimitable style, Éanna Ní Lamhna attempts to fills any gaps in our knowledge about how ordinary wildlife live. Drawing on her experience as a diver, tales of face-to-face encounters with seals, sea gooseberries and dead man's fingers are recounted with cheerful relish. Éanna also describes how it feels to be among plants and animals in another continent and not to recognise a single thing - a most galling experience for such a self-professed know all!
Following the success of Talking Wild, Wild and Wonderful is another hugely entertaining and enlightening account of the world of wildlife, both at home and abroad.
