This book provides detailed insights into ageing issues related to longitudinal studies, legislation, policy, and the ageing experience (including a personal reflection on ageing), as well as ageing and the environment, intergenerational relations, ageivism and age representations in media.

The content is also of interest to those studying social gerontology, urban planning, and sociology, as well as legal professionals and policy makers.

Tragic deaths, secret love affairs, and powerful messages from the spirit world have long colored psychic Bridget Benson's remarkable life. She grew up in the small Irish farming village of Straide, County Mayo, a place of lush meadows and peat bogs, purple heather-clad moorland, and sandy-beached lakes. Bridget lived with her eight siblings, parents, grandparents, and great aunt in a house with no electricity or running water. When her grandma died on Bridget's seventh birthday, Bridget received a message that her beloved father, who also had "the gift," would die when she was twelve years old, and that she would carry on as the family seer. When Tomorrow Speaks to Me tells the story of Bridget Benson's remarkably spiritual life, from her childhood experiences with spirit guides, ghosts, fairies, and leprechauns to the development of her career as a successful full-time psychic medium.

Kerry was the scene of some of the bloodiest and most protracted fighting during the civil war. When Free State troops landed dramatically by sea, taking the anti-treaty forces by surprise, the initial fighting was intense. Soon resistance by large groups became rare and the sides settled into a prolonged period of guerrilla conflict.The Civil War in Kerry builds an insightful picture of the conflict and its principle participants. Looking at both sides and their motivations, their challenges and also their similarities, it draws a complete picture of the county during this troubled period.By following events to the general election in 1923 when a degree of normality returned, it also shines a light on how the noncombatants of Kerry judged the conflict and how the war shaped the future of politics in the county for decades to come.
