The magnetism of Kerry lies as much in its people as its landscape. 'Hidden Kerry' takes you on the less-travelled paths of the kingdom and is peopled with a varied cast of characters with colourful stories. Open the covers and lose yourself in the story of Lord Kenmare's forgotten mansion, which hosted royal visits until it was consumed by fire in 1913. An amazing edifice of towers, marble and art, it was reduced to a pile of ashes in hours. You will also meet vibrant characters, such as Lily of the Valley: Lily van Ooost, the Flemish artist who made her home in the Black Valley where she embarked on wildly creative textile projects, including knitting a jumper for Dublin's Halfpenny Bridge. As well as this 'Hidden Kerry' will tell you where to find the county's unknown natural beauty spots concealed just minutes off the beaten track.

After finishing a circumnavigation over five years, Klaus and Maria Haeussler reentered the civil life with its struggle and routine. But they had underestimated the sustainable impact of the free life. And so it wasn’t a surprise that they were on the way again after two years on land - this time without a solid schedule. They gave up their civil existence with all consequences. Over the course of 13 years from 1998 to 2011, they left 70,000 nautical miles in their wake and sailed in extreme regions from the Northern Atlantic to Cape Horn. During a one and a half times circumnavigation of the Pacific Ocean they came into contact with the different cultures of Patagonia (with an excursion to Antarctica), Polynesia, New Zealand and Australia, Micronesia, Japan, the Aleutians, Alaska and Hawaii. With a great love for detail, Klaus Haeussler portrays this adventure filled period of their lives. In 2010, in Cuxhaven, Germany, Klaus and Maria were awarded with the coveted Trans-Ocean Preis for this outstanding voyage.

The traditional view of the IRA in Ireland in the period 1916–1921 of heroes living only for the republic, courageous and undeterred, has come in for close scrutiny in recent years. Who joined and what were their motives and backgrounds? What was their general character like? Were there lapses in conduct? Were the fighting men an efficient revolutionary force? Did they maximise their resources against the occupying forces? Separating fact from fiction in history has always been problematic in Irish history. This study of the guerrilla war in Kerry dispels some of the myths and gives an accurate profile of the rebels active in Kerry during this period. Attempting to profile the character of those who got involved, it questions their reasons for joining and their commitment to the notion of a republic. Many young volunteers did not expect to become part of a war; volunteering allowed repressed youths escape the traditional and predictable lives mapped out for them. The result is sometimes critical as it considers the effects of the war on Kerry's civilian population and the varying level of support for the IRA. Overall this book presents a picture of what Kerry was like during this war taking account of the perceptions of the community as a whole, Irish or British, Catholic or Protestant, fighter, soldier or civilian.

When a Texas rogue becomes the laird of a Scottish castle, he discovers new passions in the old world in this sweeping and sexy historical romance. Half Comanche, half Scottish, and all Texan, Fletcher MacNeil receives a surprising piece of news while sitting in jail. As the only surviving heir to the earldom of Kintyre, he has just inherited the title, a castle, and a fortune beyond his wildest dreams. But to claim it, he must travel to a world of loyal clans and kinsmen where his very appearance marks him as outsider. When Rosalyn Geddes, housekeeper of Sheiling first sees Fletcher, she cannot believe the mysterious, darkly handsome man is a MacNeil, let alone the new earl. She’s even more shocked when he proposes to marry her out of necessity—for his inheritance comes with a catch. If Fletcher does not produce an heir within a year, his fortune goes to a rogue cousin of the late earl. For Roz, what begins as a ploy soon blossoms into the possibility of love. But will Fletcher be done with her once he’s met the terms of the will—or will their love be the greatest fortune of all?
