Eamon de Valera is the most remarkable man in the history of modern Irel&. Much as Churchill personified British resistance to Hitler & de Gaulle personified the freedom of France, de Valera personified Irish independence. From his emergence in the aftermath of the 1916 rebellion as the republican leader, he bestrode Irish politics like a colossus for more than fifty years. On the eve of the centenary of the Irish Revolution, one of Ireland`s most eminent historians explains why Eamon de Valera was such a divisive figure that he has never
- until now
- received the recognition he deserves. This biography reconciles an acknowledgement of de Valera`s catastrophic failure in 1921-22, when his petulant rejection of the Anglo-Irish Treaty shaped the

Dimensions of a bloody civil war, with an appreciation of his subsequent greatness as the statesman who single-handedly severed the ties with Britain & defined nationalist Ireland`s sense of itself.

Our understanding of the British Palaeolithic & Mesolithic has changed dramatically over the last three decades, & yet not since H. J. Fleure`s A Natural History of Man in Britain (1951) has the New Naturalist Library included a volume focused on the study of early humans & their environment. In this long overdue new book, distinguished archaeologist Nick Ashton uncovers the most recent findings, following the remarkable survival & discovery of bones, stone tools & footprints which allow us to paint a picture of the first human visitors to this remote peninsula of north-west Europe. As part of the Ancient Human Occupation of Britain project & subsequent research, Ashton is involved in an unrivalled collaborative effort involving archaeologists, palaeontologists, & earth scientists at different British institutes, including the Natural History Museum & the British Museum. Using an interdisciplinary approach, the book explores the latest discoveries such as footprints at Happisburgh, Norfolk that are thought to be nearly one million years old, flint artefacts at Pakefield in Suffolk & mammoth remains at West Runton, among others. These remarkable remnants help our quest to unravel the interactions between the changing environments & their ancient human occupants, as well as their lifestyles & migrations. Early humans colonised our remote corner of the European mainland time & again, despite being faced with ice age climates with far-reaching consequences. Setting the scene on the Norfolk coast almost a million years ago, Ashton tells the story of the fauna, flora & developing geography of Britain against the backdrop of an ever-changing climate. Above all, he explores how early people began as brief visitors to this wild remote l&, but over time through better ways of acquiring food & developing new technologies, they began to tame, shape & dominate the countryside we see today. ...
