In Ireland, despite the relatively small size of the scholarly community, they appear regularly and constitutes a healthy sub-genre of academic publica- tion. The eight books under review here have been published since 2007 and represent by no means all the festschrifts even in history alone. Five of the eight are dedicated to academic historians (Toby Barnard, Nicholas Canny, Howard Clarke, R. V. Comerford and James McGuire), and one each to a historical geographer, a librarian and a local historian (William Smyth, Donal O Luanaigh and Nicholas Furlong respectively). Collections of essays are in general difficult to review, largely due to their heterogeneity, and the difficulty is compounded in the case of a festschrift, where often the only unifying element among the contributions is the personal- ity and interests of the dedicatee. Reviewers rely on phrases such as ‘The book clearly reflects the many-sided interests of Professor X’, for example, or ‘Its contributions range over a wide variety of subjects symbolizing the breadth of Dr Y’s interests’. This diversity is a particular problem for librarians, and the difficulties of cataloguing festschrifts means that their contents can rapidly become inaccessible or unknown. As a result, work published in a festschrift can often disappear from view, never to be read, making it, in a phrase that has been repeated by most writers on the festschrift, ‘the graveyard of scholarship’.1 There can be a feedback process here, whereby contributors’ awareness of the ephemeral impact of the festschrift means that they might be tempted to submit work on minor subjects or of an inferior standard. Moreover, the way the festschrift has been assembled, with contributors approached by the editors and generally known by them, makes it impossible to reject such an article. A great many reviews of festschrifts begin with these observations, one particularly outspoken version being that of Thomas Bartlett: Festschrifts generally deserve shortshrift by the book-buying public, the spec- tacle of the unpublishable contributed by the unscrupulous to be foisted on the unsuspecting being neither edifying nor diverting.

Elements of the story are told through the records of Anglo-Irish witnesses to the lives of my family and their neighbours, documents detailing the harsh existence of a people living on the edge of the Atlantic. I have taken liberties with those records, some of which make uncomfortable reading, reducing the native Irish to little more than another species, using imagination and memory to embellish the documents, sometimes creating false trails, weaving a new story from fragments that draw me closer to my mother. 3 Cathy Galvin – an extract from The Missing Sixth THE FIRST SXTH: ENTITLEMENT I CHARLES BROWNE MD.

  • The Stourbridge School of Art and Its Relations with the Glass Industry of the Stourbridge District, 1850-1905
    A PROVINCIAL SCHOOL OF ART AND LOCAL INDUSTRY: THE STOURBRIDGE SCHOOL OF ART AND ITS RELATIONS WITH THE GLASS INDUSTRY OF THE STOURBRIDGE DISTRICT, 1850-1905 by JAMES SCOTT MEASELL A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of History College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham April 2016 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT Founded in 1851, the Stourbridge School of Art offered instruction in drawing, art and design to students engaged in industries, especially glass. Using social history methodology and primary sources such as Government reports, local newspapers and school records, this thesis explores the school’s development from 1850 to 1905 and explicates its relationships with the local glass industry. Within the context of political, economic, social and cultural forces, the school contributed to the town’s civic culture and was supported by gentry, clergy and industrialists. The governing Council held public meetings and art exhibitions and dealt with management issues. Working class men attended evening classes. Women from wealthy families attended morning classes.

  • Notable Tropical Cyclones and Unusual Areas of Tropical Cyclone Formation
    A flood is an overflow of an expanse of water that submerges land.[1] The EU Floods directive defines a flood as a temporary covering by water of land not normally covered by water.[2] In the sense of "flowing water", the word may also be applied to the inflow of the tide. Flooding may result from the volume of water within a body of water, such as a river or lake, which overflows or breaks levees, with the result that some of the water escapes its usual boundaries.[3] While the size of a lake or other body of water will vary with seasonal changes in precipitation and snow melt, it is not a significant flood unless such escapes of water endanger land areas used by man like a village, city or other inhabited area. Floods can also occur in rivers, when flow exceeds the capacity of the river channel, particularly at bends or meanders. Floods often cause damage to homes and businesses if they are placed in natural flood plains of rivers. While flood damage can be virtually eliminated by moving away from rivers and other bodies of water, since time out of mind, people have lived and worked by the water to seek sustenance and capitalize on the gains of cheap and easy travel and commerce by being near water. That humans continue to inhabit areas threatened by flood damage is evidence that the perceived value of living near the water exceeds the cost of repeated periodic flooding. The word "flood" comes from the Old English flod, a word common to Germanic languages (compare German Flut, Dutch vloed from the same root as is seen in flow, float; also compare with Latin fluctus, flumen).
