'Ironing the Land' tells the thrilling story of the railways in Ireland. The railway was the greatest advance in human mobility in all history. This book recalls the heroic early days of Ireland's railway system, how it opened up the entire countryside. It brought the city to the country: newspapers and books; processed food; day trippers and tourists. It brought the country to the city: people eager for work and the bright lights; ambitious young men with new horizons; emigrants. There were mainline systems operating radially from Dublin - to Belfast, Derry, Sligo, Galway, Limerick, Cork, Waterford and Wexford. In the late nineteenth century, a great network of narrow gauge lines was built in the West of Ireland. They were not economic but they were the stuff of romance. 'Ironing the Land' is published to coincide with the television series of the same name, made by Imagine Ltd for RTE. Other books by Kevin O'Connor Irish Historic Houses.

Fault Lines Exposed intends to understand inequality across Australian cities and towns. Social and economic change in Australia has resulted in the emergence of disparities in advantage and disadvantage between metropolitan communities and regional localities, towns and cities. In 1999 the book Community Opportunity and Vulnerability (Baum et al.) considered the disparities that existed between communities using 1996 census data. This new book, available both online and in print, uses up-to-date data to reanalyse the patterns and consider the important policy issues that arise from the patterns identified. Fault Lines Exposed provides insight into advantage and disadvantage at an aggregate community or locality level. Such insight is necessary to better understand what is happening in society. It helps in the planning of effective solutions to problems that impact not only on individuals and families but also on communities. Each of the chapters outlines the main findings from the typology of advantage and disadvantage. The book concludes with a strong policy orientation, addressing possible options and raising more policy questions. Fault Lines Exposed will be essential reading for academics, researchers, students, policy makers and other professionals working in the areas of geography, sociology, economics and social work.
