Book excerpt: Everyone knows Dublin's main river, the Liffey. But many people may be less familiar with the Dodder, the Tolka and the Camac. And then there are the 'vanished' rivers, such as the Poddle, which have long been diverted underground. In this fascinating survey of Dublin's waterways, great and small, Clair M. Sweeney guides the reader across the length and breadth of Ireland's capital city, pointing out well-known and lesser-known landmarks, and setting out lore and legend.

Book excerpt: This book is a fascinating study of the varied nature of Irish river ecosystems--their beauty, significance, and the natural and human factors that make each one distinct. Ireland's Atlantic climate, alongside its largely agricultural economy and relatively small population, make the nature of Irish rivers vastly different from those on the European continent. With that in mind, there is significant interest in implementing measures to protect the dwindling number of near-pristine rivers in Ireland. This beautifully illustrated book provides a wonderful overview of Irish rivers and the risks that conservationists face in preserving their unique natural beauty.

Book excerpt: "The Rivers of Dublin is the revised new edition of a cherished study of Dublin's history - a unique examination of the water routes of Ireland's capital and the ceaseless activity they enabled and inspired. It proves, in short, that the history of Dublin is that of its rivers. The rivers, tributaries, and streams that have populated Dublin since its establishment have governed the expansion of the city and its quality of life, yet over time many of these water routes have become hidden from view. Clair Sweeney's work brings the ancient watercourses to the surface once more, breathing life into alternate maps of Dublin - excavating entire societies. Sweeney's position in the Dublin Corporation's Engineering Department gave him unparalleled access to places the most hardly know exist. The Rivers of Dublin, newly updated and beautifully redesigned, is a meticulous study of the watercourses that flow through Ireland's capital city, serving as a history of those who settled and thrived along their banks."

Book excerpt: Dublin is a city much visited and deeply mythologized. In Hidden City, Karl Whitney - who has been described by Gorse as 'Dublin's best psychogeographer since James Joyce' - explores the places the city's denizens and tourists easily overlook. Whitney finds hidden places and untold stories in underground rivers of the Liberties, on the derelict sites once earmarked for skyscrapers in Ballsbridge, in the twenty Dublin homes once inhabited by Joyce, and on the beach at Loughshinny, where he watches raw sewage being pumped into the shallows of the Irish Sea. Hidden City shows us a Dublin - or a collection of Dublins - that we've never seen before, a city hiding in plain sight.

Book excerpt: 'The Rivers Dodder and Poddle' is the first in a new series of books issued by Dublin City Council to explore the engineering history and heritage of the city. This well-researched and lively book gives a complete overview of two notable rivers in Dublin city and county. Over many years the River Dodder, rich in history and archaeology, has been the engrossing subject of numerous books and papers. Most of what has been written focuses on particular aspects of the river, e.g. flora and fauna or folklore and legend. In contrast, this book concentrates on the engineering history and topography while not neglecting other relevant issues of the river and the Bohernabreena Reservoirs. The Dodder's role in supplying water to Rathmines and Rathgar and the later integration of this system with the wider Dublin public water network is also explained. Information has been collected from a wide range of very diverse sources - some of them contradictory - and only inserted on verification. The Bohernabreena Reservoirs, more properly known as the Glenasmole Reservoirs, and their unique role in water supply, millers' compensation rights and flood control, are a central feature of these pages. The authors describe the Dodder - as with any other river, having its own unique catchment and other attributes - from as many other different viewpoints as possible. The Poddle - which in essence is a tributary of the Dodder - is also explored. This river, which is now mostly underground, is famous for the Dubh Linn, the peaty pool which formed at its confluence with the river Liffey.

Book excerpt: In Vanishing Ireland II, the follow up to the bestselling Vanishing Ireland I, we take another journey down memory lane and, through a unique collection of portrait interviews, we look at the dying ways and traditions of Irish life. Illustrated with over a hundred evocative and stunning photographs, we meet the people and the customs that are fast becoming a distant memory. Through their own words and memories, men and women from every corner of Ireland transport us back to a simpler time when people lived off the land and the sea, and when music and storytelling were essential parts of life. Vanishing Ireland brings together the stories of those who lived through Ireland's formative years. These poignant interviews and photographs will make you laugh and cry but, above all, will provide a valuable chronicle that connects twenty-first century Ireland to a rapidly disappearing world.
