Educational Tales of the Unexpected: Children and Creativity

This is achieved through a showcasing of interdisciplinary examples of the variety of forms occupied by the multiplicitious and fascinating sphere of human creativity. The creativity of children and of the adults in their lives is recorded through the lens of engagement. Engagement with the self, with the other and with learning, development and humanity are all revealed as central to creativity. Five key themes emerge as contemporarily relevant. These are the creative learning environment, the importance of the early years, the role of the arts, the multiple applications of technology and exciting new directions within creative engagement from a global perspective. This is a book which will provide inspiration and refreshment for all who strive to achieve creative engagement with children and young people.
Relentless
Relentless tells the story of the rise of Cork ladies football between 2005 and 2016. Having never won a senior title in the sport in 2004, by 2016 the team had won ten All-Ireland titles in eleven years. Mary White takes the reader behind the scenes and shows what made the Cork ladies footballers one of the most successful teams ever in the history of Irish sport. The book was shortlisted for the 2015 Setanta Ireland Sports Book of the Year. This edition contains a new afterword from the author, bringing the story up to the present day. 'It would have been disastrous if the best team in Irish sport had passed into history without their story being told. Luckily for them and for us, Mary White was there taking notes right from the beginning and can give an outsider's view with an insider's knowledge. It's not often that happens. A great insight into a truly great team.' – Malachy Clerkin, The Irish Times

Ambiguous Republic
Hard-nosed scholarship and moral passion underpin Diarmaid Ferriter's work. Now he turns to the key years of the 70s, when after half a century of independence, questions were being asked about the old ways of doing things. Ambiguous Republic considers the widespread social, cultural, economic and political upheavals of the decade, a decade when Ireland joined the EEC; when for the first time a majority of the population lived in urban areas; when economic challenges abounded; which saw too an increasingly visible feminist moment, and institutions including the Church began to be subjected to criticism.Diarmaid Ferriter's earlier books have been described as 'a landmark' and 'an immense contribution'; making 'brilliant use of new sources'; 'prodigiously gifted', and 'ground-breaking'. All those words apply to this important book based on recently opened archives and unique access to the papers of Jack Lynch and Liam Cosgrave.
