For aristocrats and gentry in 18th-century Ireland, the townhouses and country estates they resided in were carefully constructed to accommodate their cultivated lifestyles. Based on new research from Irish national collections and correspondence culled from papers in private keeping, this publication provides a vivid and engaging look at the various ways in which families tailored their homes to their personal needs and preferences. Halls were designed in order to simultaneously support a variety of activities, including dining, music, and games, while closed porches allowed visitors to arrive fully protected from the country’s harsh weather. These grand houses were arranged in accordance with their residents’ daily procedures, demonstrating a distinction between public and private spaces, and even keeping in mind the roles and arrangements of the servants in their purposeful layouts. With careful consideration given to both the practicality of everyday routine and the occasional special event, this book illustrates how the lives and residential structures of these aristocrats were inextricably woven together.

Adopting a UDL Attitude within Academia

Adopting a UDL attitude within Academia bridges the gap between the theory and practice of UDL (Universal Design for Learning). It guides the reader through the origins of the development of UDL as an innovative way of thinking about inclusion and the evolution of this theory into practice, as it explores UDL and its relevance beyond the classroom. Including reader-friendly descriptions and case studies supplemented with international research, this book allows the reader to think and see through a UDL lens, ultimately emphasising their part in the inclusion agenda. From the outset this book shares the attitude necessary to promote UDL and inclusion across higher education and addresses some of the most common questions: <ul> <li>Is this a scientific theory or just a new practice, and why is it important?</li> <li>How can I be more inclusive in my current practice?</li> <li>Is it sustainable and how do I ensure I'm implementing it correctly?</li> </ul> The book will have a broad appeal and is essential reading for anyone looking to understand and implement UDL across their learning environment - be it a university or any higher education institution.

Could it be said you had potential for a career in medicine if, with the first breath of your life, you contradicted the prognosis of your mother's obstetrician? If, from the day of that birth, you had to make your way through daily life using only one arm and hand, could you: dress yourself? tie your shoes? fix your bike? ride a bull? drive a tractor? type a letter? play a trumpet? run your own sewing machine? supervise a toxicology confirmation laboratory? We all fail at something, sometime, but failure to try may be the biggest failure of all - especially if you start out facing higher hurdles than the rest of the team. The girl in this story - her story, spent her life refusing to recognize the hurdles before her. She saw them but chose to ignore them, starting with the first day she looked in a mirror and realized her shoulders were at different levels -- unlike everyone else's. Most of us probably don't have what it takes to face that kind of reality every day for eighty years but, those who can should write a book -- and she did.

Based on extensive research from national collections and recent studies, this book looks at Ireland’s love affair with claret in the eighteenth century which began in earnest with the establishment of Irish families in the wine trade in Bordeaux early in the century. So much red wine from Bordeaux was being consumed by Ireland’s nobility and gentry that Jonathan Swift referred to it as ‘Irish wine,’ in the full knowledge that his correspondent would understand that he meant claret. The book deals with questions such as how was the domestic wine cellar planned and used? When did connoisseurship in wine commence? What was the role of the merchant, apart from providing the wine?
