From uncovering major retailers' links to sweatshop abuses and revealing the deception of American tobacco companies, to questioning corporations' ties to repressive dictators, shaming food processors into selling dolphin-safe tuna and demanding that businesses stop destroying old growth forests, citizens have become far more aggressive in directly challenging corporate behavior. Written by two activists who are constantly in the eye of this storm, Insurrection charts the growth of this dissatisfaction and gives us a glimpse of where this movement might be heading.

This book by Kevin Danaher describes how the round of the year, with its cycle of festivals and seasonal work, was observed in the Ireland of yesterday. We follow the rhythm of the year from New Year to Easter, May Day to Harvest and Christmas along the chain of highdays and feastdays, St Brighid's Day, The Borrowed Days, Midsummer, St Swithin's Day, Lunasa, The Pattern Day, Samhain, Martinmas and Christmas. The rich and warm life of Irish folk tradition unfolds, the work of farm and fishing boat - belief and usage - feasting and merrymaking. Picturesque customs are revealed - some forgotten, some forbidden, some still familiar, such as 'the making of St Brighid's cross - marriage divinations - watching the dancing of the sun on a hilltop on Easter morning - going to the Skelligs - cock-throwing - bullbaiting - herring processions - the swimming of the horses on Lunasa - and many others. A multi-coloured tapestry. Kevin Danaher has drawn on a wide variety of sources and on more than thirty years experience of research into Irish folk tradition. Kevin Danaher was educated at Mungret College, at University College, Dublin and at the Universities of Berlin and Leipzig. Having entered the Irish army as a volunteer gunner, he left the army with the rank of Captain to resume his research in Irish rural life and tradition. He is the author of In Ireland Long Ago, Gentle Places and Simple Things, Irish Country People, Folktales of the Irish Countryside, The Pleasant Land of Ireland and has contributed to numerous learned journals in Ireland, Sweden, Germany, Britain and America. He edited The Irish Sword, the journal of the Military History Society of Ireland from 1960 to 1971. He was a lecturer in Irish Folklore at University College, Dublin.

These tales are filled with the mystery and adventure of a land of lonely country roads and isolated farms, humble cottages and lordly castles, rolling fields and trackless bogs. They tell of ghosts and giants, of strange happenings and wondrous deeds, of fairies and witches and of fools and kings. Above all in these stories there is a sense of the full wonder of a world where the marvelous and the unexpected can always happen, and nothing is ever quite as it seems.

In Ireland Long Ago

The classic account of Irish folk life by one of the great folklorists. The reader is invited to call on people in their homes, to listen to their tales and gossip and to taste their food and drink, to admire their pots and pans and agricultural implements, to meet a water diviner, to join a fight, to hurry to a wedding and bow down in remembrance of the dead.
