Hillwalking is Ireland`s most widely practised leisure activity today. Rock climbing has developed to a level of technical excellence with crags in almost every county & numerous indoor climbing walls. Irish mountaineers have completed a winter ascent of the Eiger`s North Face, scaled the highest Himalayan peaks & other previously unclimbed giants, & explored hitherto unknown valleys. Paddy O` Leary recounts the history of hillwalking & mountaineering in Irel&, & shows that the early climbing scene was a reflection of, & not escape from, wider social issues: from the early activists
- some were involved in gun running, others died at Gallipoli

This is a book about Palestine today. It is neither apologetic nor romanticized, but a powerful & brilliantly realized scream of a book, scorching & tender, from a journalist whose anger & empathy burn through every word. Over the past three years, Ben Ehrenreich has shared the laughter, fury & sorrow of people in cities & villages across the West Bank, young & old people, men & women. He has witnessed the extremes to which they are pushed, the daily deprivation & oppression that they face, the strategies they construct to survive it
- stoicism, resignation, rebellion, humour, & a stubborn, defiant joy. In The Way to the Spring, he describes the cruel mechanics of the Israeli occupation & the endless absurdities & tragedies it engenders: the complex & humiliating machinery of the checkpoints, walls, courts & prisons; the steady, strangling loss of lands that have been passed down for generations; the constant ebb & flow of deadly violence. Blending political & historical context with the personal stories of the people Ehrenreich meets, The Way to the Spring is a testimony, a provocation & a vital document. Written with grace & power, it breathes fresh life & urgency to a place & a conflict that too easily disappears in the shouting. This is a necessary book, an unflinching act of witnessing.

We have lost the ability to deal with death. Most of our friends & beloved relations will die in a busy hospital in the care of strangers, doctors & nurses they have known at best for a couple of weeks. They may not even know they are dying, victims of the kindly lie that there is still hope. They are unlikely to see even their family doctor in their final hours, robbed of their dignity & fed through a tube after a long series of excessive & hopeless medical interventions. This is the starting point of Seamus O` Mahoney`s thoughtful, moving & unforgettable book on the western way of death. Dying has never been more public, with celebrities writing detailed memoirs of their illness, but in private we have done our best to banish all thought of dying & made a good death increasingly difficult to achieve. ...
