Humanities & Social SciencesJune 2011Fenians and Ribbonmen
the development of republican politics in East Tyrone, 1898–1918
by Fergal McCluskey
East Tyrone sits at the crossroads of Irish politics. This book commences with the struggle between Belfast's 'Wee Joe' Devlin, the coming man of the Irish Parliamentary Party, and the Irish Republican Brotherhood to gain mastery over the burgeoning Ancient Order of Hibernians and, with it, control of popular nationalist politics in Ulster. It then recounts the fascinating and often violent story of the relationship between local Fenians and Ribbonmen, across a seminal generation in Irish politics. The narrative centres on an established local Fenian tradition and its relationship with Devlinite Hibernianism, from co-operation, to overt confrontation, to a power struggle within the Irish Volunteer movement, to the Fenians' prominent role in Sinn Féin's meteoric rise in the aftermath of the Easter Rising. Fenians and Ribbonmen will be essential reading for those interested in Irish history and politics. ;

Elektronische Musik aus Düsseldorf
by Rudi Esch, Wolfgang Flür
So wie New Orleans für Jazz und Blues gilt das Düsseldorf der 1970er und 80er als Mekka der elektronischen Popmusik. Hier schraubte »Kraftwerk« im legendären Klingklang-Studio an Klassikern wie »Autobahn« oder »Wir sind die Roboter«, hier schuf »Neu!« den Motorik Beat, hier brachte »DAF« den Sequenzern das Schwitzen bei. Und je größer der Abstand, nach Kilometern wie nach Jahren, umso mythischer erscheint der Ort. Rüdiger Esch, selbst Düsseldorfer und als Mitglied von »Die Krupps« Teil der Szene, beleuchtet deren Entwicklung von den Anfängen um 1970 bis zum Ende der analogen Phase um 1986. Und zwar sowohl von innen, als Spur aus exklusiven O-Tönen ihrer Protagonisten wie Wolfgang Flür (»Kraftwerk«), Bodo Staiger (»Rheingold«), Gabi Delgado (»DAF)«, Jürgen Engler (»Die Krupps«), Ralf Dörper (»Propaganda«), wie zugleich von außen, in exklusiven Statements von Giorgio Moroder, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Andy McCluskey (»OMD«), Martyn Ware (»The Human League«), Glenn Gregory (»Heaven 17«) u. v. a. nebst Dokumenten aus der Rezeptionsgeschichte. So wird sowohl die Wirklichkeit des Mythos wie die Wirklichkeit hinter dem Mythos sichtbar, die Weltmetropole des Modernismus genauso wie das Dorf in Düsseldorf.

Historical fictionJune 2021The Admiral's Baths
by Dana Gynther
The Admiral’s Baths is composed of four inter-connected stories, each told from the perspective of a different woman in her own time period. The story opens as a contemporary historian conducts research at the baths, making discoveries which lead us back in time. History unfolds through the stories of the struggles, desires, tragedies, and triumphs of these four protagonists. Although they are separated by hundreds of years, we find that what connects them is more powerful than the passage of time. The Admiral’s Baths (102,300 words) revolves around an actual monument in Valencia, Spain, a medieval public bathhouse which was open for nearly seven centuries and is now a museum. Some years ago, I translated several articles about the monument, covering its history, owners, architecture, and restoration. I became fascinated with the subject, and was particularly struck by its longevity. The Baths’ long history became an integral part of the story; instead of choosing one moment in the Baths’ – and Spain’s—history, I chose four: the 14th, 16th, and 19th centuries as well as the 21st.

New Perspectives in Cultural Astronomy
by Clive Ruggles (Editor) , Gary Urton (Editor)
Compiled in honour of Anthony F Aveni, America's leading archaeoastronomer, this book offers state-of-the-art work in cultural astronomy by well-known experts in Mayan glyphic studies, cultural history, ethnohistory, and the history of science and of religions. This collection's wide range of outstanding scholarship reveals that cultural astronomy has come into its own. The diverse topics addressed by the contributors include the correlation between Colonial Northern Zapotec and Gregorian calendars, the period of use of the Dresden Codex Venus table and the significance of the Lunar Almanacs that precede it, a new interpretation of an Inka tapestry mantle as a commemorative calendar, temple orientations in Hawai'i and church orientations in Medieval England, and the connection in cultural imagery between astronomers (science) and wizards (magic). Contributors include: Harvey M Bricker; Victoria R Bricker; Edward E Calnek; Clemency Coggins; John Justeson; Edwin C Krupp; Stephen C McCluskey; Susan Milbrath; Clive Ruggles; David Tavà rez; Barbara Tedlock; Dennis Tedlock; Gary Urton and R Tom Zuidema.

Travel writingVitali's Ireland
Time Travels in the Celtic Tiger
by Vitali Vitaliev
Vitali’s Ireland offers a unique perspective on 21st century Irish cultural identity, delivered in a style rich with his typical sardonic wit. Ukrainian-born Vitali Vitaliev, an award-winning travel writer and journalist, uses his outsider’s perspective to recount his Irish adventures. A renowned cultural observer, he muses on the nation’s quirks and stereotypes, whilst his reference to mid-19th century guide books provides an insightful historical comparison. The result is an affectionate if slightly perplexed portrait of a nation in transition.
