In the Service of Peace
In October 2001, Ireland begins its withdrawal from the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL), having finally succeeded in implementing UN Security Council Resolution 425 of 1978 and confirming Israeli withdrawal beyond the international border, or what in UN parlance is now referred to simply as the 'Blue Line'. Since 1978, An Cosantoir, the Defence Forces magazine, has chronicled the lives and duties of Irish soldiers through twenty-three years of difficult UN peacekeeping operations in the rocky, barren hills of south Lebanon. This is the story of what Irish soldiers said and did in the Lebanon for twenty-three years. It does not pretend to be a definitive history of their involvement but of necessity every memory recounted is steeped in the history of the region and the savage multi-dimensional war which raged there for a quarter of a century.
Corporation Book of Ennis
"... Here edited for the first time, is a record of the transactions of Ennis Corporation in the period 1660-1810.

The 9th Floor
If you’re going to lead, you have to have certain values that are important to you, otherwise you can’t lead, you just flip-flop around the place. Jim Bolger Nowhere is it written down what are the powers of the Prime Minister ... it’s your personality, it’s the skills that you’ve got, it’s how you use the office. Helen Clark Based on the acclaimed RNZ podcast series, and including new material, The 9th Floor by journalists Guyon Espiner and Tim Watkin presents in-depth interviews with five former Prime Ministers of New Zealand. Geoffrey Palmer, Mike Moore, Jim Bolger, Jenny Shipley and Helen Clark reflect on their time occupying the prime ministerial offices on the 9th floor of the Beehive.

Film Remakes
This is the first book to provide a comprehensive and systematic account of the phenomenon of cinematic remaking. Drawing upon recent theories of genre and intertextuality, Film Remakes describes remaking as both an elastic concept and a complex situation, one enabled and limited by the interrelated roles and practices of industry, critics, and audiences. This approach to remaking is developed across three broad sections: the first deals with issues of production, including commerce and authors; the second considers genre, plots, and structures; and the third investigates issues of reception, including audiences and institutions.
