Vikings! They hardly feature in this book about Waterford County's main tribe. Despite their name being shouted by thousands of Waterford people as a rally cry, the Déise tribe have seemingly become a footnote in their own land's history. Having shone some light on the History of St. Patrick's Gateway Centre and Garter Lane Arts Centre though a series of leaflets; Leonard Kearon MSc writes his first book to hopefully shine some light back on the early people of Waterford City and County. From their beginnings and expulsion from Tara to their demise following the Norman Invasion; The Saga of the Déise looks at how the Déise lived, how their patron Saint, Saint Declan converted them from Paganism to Christianity' their travels in Wales as well as what ever happened to the Déise.

Joman, the shy fellow, is both a victim and beneficiary of life's circumstances. The reasons for his becoming a painfully shy child begin even before he is born. The overindulgent tolerance of his father, a Portuguese immigrant, and the excessive repression of his mother, a Brazilian, create an ambiguous family environment that represses the child's outgoing nature. As a result of his crippling shyness, he experiences a great deal of suffering throughout his childhood, adolescence, and into early adulthood. After getting involved in the diamond business, Joman manages to achieve a relative stability in his own family life. However, the sudden appearance of a life-threatening disease threatens to cut him down in his prime. In his last year of life, he finally decides to overcome his shyness and savor the taste of real freedom. Opening himself up to life, he braves numerous challenges, has several close brushes with death, and even enjoys a few serendipitous moments, such as the discovery of a 59- carats diamond at a prospecting site. Other unexpected events give Joman's life a completely new sense of direction and contribute to a profound personal transformation.

In this book, Aidan Doyle traces the history of the Irish language from the time of the Norman invasion at the end of the 12th century to independence in 1922, combining political, cultural, and linguistic history. The book is divided into seven main chapters that focus on a specific period in the history of the language; they each begin with a discussion of the external history and position of the Irish language in the period, before moving on to investigate theimportant internal changes that took place at that time. A History of the Irish Language makes available for the first time material that has previously been inaccessible to students and scholars whocannot read Irish, and will be a valuable resource not only for undergraduate students of the language, but for all those interested in Irish history and culture.

Coire Sois, The Cauldron of Knowledge: A Companion to Early Irish Saga offers thirty-one previously published essays by Tomás Ó Cathasaigh, which together constitute a magisterial survey of early Irish narrative literature in the vernacular. Ó Cathasaigh has been called “the father of early Irish literary criticism,” with writings among the most influential in the field. He pioneered the analysis of the classic early Irish tales as literary texts, a breakthrough at a time when they were valued mainly as repositories of grammatical forms, historical data, and mythological debris. All four of the Mythological, Ulster, King, and Finn Cycles are represented here in readings of richness, complexity, and sophistication, supported by absolute philological rigor and yet easy for the non-specialist to follow. The book covers key terms, important characters, recurring themes, rhetorical strategies, and the narrative logic of this literature. It also surveys the work of the many others whose explorations were launched by Ó Cathasaigh's first encounters with the literature. As the most authoritative single volume on the essential texts and themes of early Irish saga, this collection will be an indispensable resource for established scholars, and an ideal introduction for newcomers to one of the richest and most under-studied literatures of medieval Europe.

Life on Primevalon is thrown into chaos as a renegade deity attempts to appease her overwrought conscience. All attention is now drawn toward the queen and her newborn twins, Mantis and Marcus. Superstitions force the twins to be raised separately, and their father's throne is taken through a vicious betrayal. Mantis and Marcus now find themselves hunted across the countryside and besieged by malformed creatures at every turn, one totally unaware of his birthright; neither, their heritage. Mysterious and magical beings roam the world again as the old powers swell. The twins will have to learn friend from foe quickly if they are to survive and learn of their new powers. But if they aren't careful, their festering desire for vengeance will threaten the fate of the entire world and the very lives of those they love the most.
