DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Isle of Man is a self-governing British Crown Dependency located in the Irish Sea between England, Scotland, and Ireland. It covers an area of 221 square miles and has a population of approximately 84,000 people. The island has a rich history and culture, with evidence of settlement dating back to the Neolithic period. It has its own government, laws, and currency, but it is also a member of the British Isles custom union and the European Union for the purpose of trade in goods. The economy of the Isle of Man is largely based on offshore finance, with many international businesses choosing to establish a presence on the island due to its favorable tax laws and business-friendly environment. The Isle of Man is also known for its stunning natural beauty, with rugged coastline, rolling hills, and sandy beaches. It has a temperate climate, with mild winters and cool summers, making it an ideal destination for outdoor enthusiasts. The island is popular for activities such as hiking, cycling, and water sports, and it also hosts a range of annual events and festivals that attract visitors from around the world. Despite its small size, the Isle of Man has a unique identity and a thriving community, and it offers a wealth of opportunities for those looking to explore or make a home on the island.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book, drawing on wide experience of the Isle of Man, describes, interprets and explains the features that make the Island’s physical and human landscapes so distinctive and give it a unique sense of place. Although the editors have taken a strongly geographical approach to their theme, the book is unparalleled in writings on the Isle of Man in the broad range of contributions it has assembled: geology, quaternary science, geomorphology, archaeology, history, natural history, political science, demography, social policy and economics. The book definitively reviews current geographical knowledge relating to the Isle of Man, bringing together hitherto fragmented, scattered and inaccessible work. Particular emphasis is placed upon the way in which geographers are returning to their intellectual roots with a renewed focus on both the distinctiveness and sense of place. By helping readers to understand the processes that formed, and continue to change, the Isle of Man’s unique physical and human landscapes, this book aims both to inform and to enhance enjoyment of the Island.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis volume provides a fascinating account of the natural forces which shaped the Island's landscape from its formation some 500 million years ago to the present nature of the Manx environment and landscape. The story of the island's colonisation by plants and animals sets the scene for the later volumes which deal with the impact of man's arrival. A key element of the volume is an in depth examination of the contemporary landscape, with an appraisal of how the environment has affected man and how man has affected the environment.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis collection of 24 papers aims to reconsider the nature and significance of the Irish Sea as an area of cultural interaction during the Neolithic period. The traditional character of work across this region has emphasised the existence of prehistoric contact, with sea routes criss-crossing between Ireland, the Isle of Man, Anglesey and the British mainland. A parallel course of investigation, however, has demonstrated that the British and Irish Neolithics were in many ways different, with distinct indigenous patterns of activity and social practices. The recent emphasis on regional studies has further produced evidence for parallel yet different processes of cultural change taking place throughout the British Isles as a whole. This volume brings together some of these regional perspectives and compares them across the Irish Sea area. The authors consider new ways to explain regional patterning in the use of material objects and relate them to past practices and social strategies. Were there practices that were shared across the Irish Sea area linking different styles of monuments and material culture, or were the media intrinsic to the message? The volume is based on papers presented at a conference held at the University of Manchester in 2002.
