1 comments about Twist of Gold.

1. This book is extremely good, with pages that will have you hanging on every word. It is about two children who are coming to America, from Ireland because of the famine, in search of their father. They had to leave their mother behind with the baby, and all they have to protect them it a "twist of gold"; a torc that has been in the family for years. From Ireland to California, there are plenty of mishaps and troubles, but also plenty of laughter and good parts. Although it is very tragic, and long, you won't put it down until it's done. I read this book when I was 11, and it has been my favourite ever since. I suggest this book if you want a good full book that will keep you reading for a while!

1. The author has a wonderful way of weaving the river and its environs into a story of history, myth and modern comparisons. The chaptesr on the Quakers and Huguenots gives a very concise and informative history of these innovative and hard working people. The quotes from poems and ballads are a delight and the navigation references are very useful. A must for anyone just discovering this, the second longest river in Ireland.

1 comments about Ireland's Coastline: Exploring Its Nature And Heritage.

1. Breathtaking photographs and interesting, informative prose make this book a standout. From Ireland's history to the plants and animals found along the seacoast, Richard Nairn explains -- at least in part -- why people everywhere love all things Irish. Through photographs, prose, and annotated sources, Nairn leads his readers on a fascinating path from Ireland's antiquity to her present day. We learn how rocky coastlines were formed, what sea and land creatures can be found along the coasts, and how Ireland has harnessed sun, wind, and sea to benefit her people. This beautiful book is highly recommended.
