Bloody Sunday in Derry
A new edition of the classic account of the Bloody Sunday events in Derry in 1972 when the Parachute Regiment shot twenty-seven unarmed civil rights demonstrators and fourteen men and boys died. "This moving and impressive book is cumulatively powerful. The tour de force of the book is its description of Lord Widgery's Tribunal. As a mendacious and arrogant piece of judicial trumpery, it can hardly be equalled." - The Guardian
Recovering Memory
Various ways of collecting, storing and recovering memories have been the focus of the most recent joint research project carried out by a group of Irish Studies scholars, all based in the Nordic countries and members of the Nordic Irish Studies Network (NISN). The result of the project, Recovering Memory: Irish Representations of Past and Present, is a collection of essays which examines the theme of memory in Irish literature and culture against the theoretical background of the philosophical discourse of modernity. Offering a wide range of perspectives, this volume examines a plurality of representations—past and present—of memory, both public and private, and the intersection between...
The Skelper and Me
'As I grew older I often asked myself whether history has made me who I am, and will I, in turn, make history with that?' Tony Doherty has lived in the shadow of his father's execution on Bloody Sunday. At 18 he found himself facing long-term imprisonment, yet the soldier who shot his father was a free man. The Skelper and Me is no ordinary memoir. It is a triumph of working class resolve and resilience over the last bastion of Empire. Epitomising the old adage that 'if you didn't laugh you'd cry,' it sallies forth as a fascinating and compelling story of prison life, making a willing inmate of the reader, weaving a tapestry of the lives of his young cellmates, who never deserved such a life...
Religion and Violence
First Published in 2015. Daily newspaper headlines, talk radio and cable television broadcasts, and Internet news web sites continuously highlight the relationship between religion and violence. These media contain stories about such diverse incidents as suicide attacks by Islamic fundamentalists in Afghanistan, Iraq, Israel, Pakistan, and elsewhere, and assassinations of doctors who perform abortions by white American Christian true believers in the United States. How does one make sense of the role of religion in violence, and of perpetrators of violence who cite religion as a motivation? This encyclopedia includes a wide range of entries: biographies of key figures, historical events, religious groups, countries and regions where religion and violence have intersected, and practices, rituals, and processes of religious violence.
The A to Z of the Northern Ireland Conflict
For nearly four decades the conflict in Ireland has embittered relations between the communities living there and spoiled relations between the Republic of Ireland and Great Britain. For three decades it escalated, punctuated by periodic bloody clashes followed by somewhat calmer periods of tension during which violence of all sorts_robberies, kidnappings, serious injuries and deaths_were all too common. During the past decade, fortunately, all sides have realized that armed solutions were unlikely to bring a solution to anyone's problems and that peace should be given a chance. Fortunately, with the establishment of a new Northern Ireland Executive, there is a general acceptance that the co...

Hidden Truths
In 1972 the Parachute Regiment of the British Army opened fire on a peaceful civil rights march in Derry, in the north of Ireland, killing thirteen people and wounding many others. A watershed event in contemporary Irish history, Bloody Sunday challenged the premise that constitutional politics could bring about change, resulting in the decision by many Irish nationalists to take up arms. This anthology uses analysis, interviews, personal accounts, and images to examine from several different perspectives the personal and political implications generated by Bloody Sunday and its impact on the present. Writers include Gerry Adams, Elaine Brotherton, Joelle Gartner, Luke Gibbons, Tom Hayden, Don Mullan, Gilles Peress, Peter Pringle, and Trisha Ziff. Edited by Trisha Ziff.
The Stress Factor
Stress is an essential ingredient of life which, when handled effectively, enables us to cope efficiently and perform our best. Yet in Western society stress has come to be equated with distress. This is because, when stress levels rise too high, mental and physical well-being is affected and we feel unable to cope. The Stress Factor explains what stress really is and shows, through practical advice and simple exercises, how to manage and use it to achieve your goals. The reward is a happier, healthier and more relaxed life.
