Broadcasting in Ireland

Broadcasting in Ireland

Broadcasting in Ireland (1978) outlines the historical and sociological background of Ireland to place the progress of its broadcasting service in the context of its post-independence development. It analyses the difficulties of running public service broadcasting financed by both licence fee and advertising and competing in half its television reception area with two of the premier broadcasting systems in the world. With regular broadcasting beginning with Independence its development was inevitably bound up with the process of building the political economic and social framework of the new State and this book closely examines how the Irish broadcasting system coped with the attending economic cultural and political difficulties.

Black Abolitionists in Ireland

Black Abolitionists in Ireland

The story of the anti-slavery movement in Ireland is little known yet when Frederick Douglass visited the country in 1845 he described Irish abolitionists as the most ‘ardent’ that he had ever encountered. Moreover their involvement proved to be an important factor in ending the slave trade and later slavery in both the British Empire and in America. While Frederick Douglass remains the most renowned black abolitionist to visit Ireland he was not the only one. This publication traces the stories of ten black abolitionists including Douglass who travelled to Ireland in the decades before the American Civil War to win support for their cause. It opens with former slave Olaudah Equiano kidnapped as a boy from his home in Africa and who was hosted by the United Irishmen in the 1790s; it closes with the redoubtable Sarah Parker Remond who visited Ireland in 1859 and chose never to return to America. The stories of these ten men and women and their interactions with Ireland are diverse and remarkable. | Black Abolitionists in Ireland

Family Mediation in Ireland

Family Mediation in Ireland

This title was first published in 2002: After outlining the origins and development of family mediation on a world-wide basis this book assesses family mediation services in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland within the context of the empirical and theoretical debates surrounding the practice. It is the first comprehensive study of the area in Ireland appearing at an opportune time due to the expansion of the service in the Republic and its virtual collapse in Northern Ireland. It argues that the service provided in the Republic of Ireland is appreciated by clients and is successful although the issue of domestic violence remains. In contrast it suggests that the absence of service provision in Northern Ireland is problematic since it undermines consumer choice. | Family Mediation in Ireland

Community Media and Identity in Ireland

This book explores how Ireland’s community media outlets reflect and shape identity at the local level. While aspects of its culture date back centuries the nation-state of Ireland is less than one hundred years old. Because of this and other elements of the island’s history Irish identity is a contested topic and the island is a place where culture identity and geography are tightly intertwined.

Geology and Environment In Britain and Ireland

Geology and Environment In Britain and Ireland

A complete introductory text on an increasingly popular subject Geology and Environment in Britain and Ireland aims to provide suitably broad coverage for students requiring a treatment clearly foucused on familiar examples but retaining a global perspective. The book summarizes for Earth and environmental scientists the ways in which geology relates to the natural environmentand to the humand activites that it supports. The natural environment is more than the oceans the atmosphere and the diversity of the land surface. It extends below the ground and stretches back in time through the Earth's history. These environmental dimensions are the concern of geology. First the book summarizes the geological influences on society through control of landscape and human geography and through the threats posed by hazards such as landslides subsidence and earhquakes. Next the many Earth resources that support human activity are described: land water construction materials minerals coal oil and gas. How are they formed or replenished? Which resources are are sustainable for use over more than the immediate geological future? Thirdly the impacts of human activity an the Earth are examined - the results of extracting geological resources of intentionally engineering the environment and of carelessly polluting land and underground water supplies. Perhaps most serious of all is atmospheric pollution caused by burning geological fuels threatening global change on scales only familiar from the geological record. This book is published at a pivotal point in the history of geology. Scientists who for a century and a half have been preoccupied with finding Earth resources are increasingly being asked where on Earth to dispose of the effluents from using them. Geology and Environment in Britain and Ireland provides a comapct abundantly illustrated summary of both sides of this dile
