Ireland's History provides an introduction to Irish history that blends a scholarly approach to the subject, based on recent research and current historiographical perspectives, with a clear and accessible writing style. All the major themes in Irish history are covered, from prehistoric times right through to present day, from the emergence of Celtic Christianity after the fall of the Roman Empire, to Ireland and the European Union, secularism and rapprochement with the United Kingdom. By avoiding adopting a purely nationalistic perspective, Kenneth Campbell offers a balanced approach, covering not only social and economic history, but also political, cultural, and religious history, and exploring the interconnections among these various approaches. This text will encourage students to think critically about the past and to examine how a study of Irish history might inform and influence their understanding of history in general.

A New History of Ireland is the largest scholarly project in modern Irish history. In 9 volumes, it provides a comprehensive new synthesis of modern scholarship on every aspect of Irish history and prehistory, from the earliest geological and archaeological evidence, through the Middle Ages, down to the present day.

Society, laws, church and politics are all analysed separately as are architecture, literature, manuscripts, language, coins and music. The volume is brought up to 1166 with chapters, amongst others, on the Vikings, Ireland and its neighbours, and opposition to the High-Kings. A final chapter moves further on in time, examining Latin learning and literature in Ireland to 1500.

A concise and vivid introduction to the Stone and Bronze Ages of Ireland. Anna Brindley takes us back in time to meet our first known ancestors, the Mesolithic hunter-gatherers who colonised the island of Ireland some ten thousand years ago. By 3700 BC, with the arrival of the Neolithic peoples, hunting and gathering had largely been replaced by farming, giving rise to settled communities, the development of new tools and weapons, permanent burial places, and improved methods of transport and communication. Some twelve hundred years later, as metal started to replace stone for making tools and ornaments, this chage triggered off a fresh cycle of innovation. Just as the earliest farmers may be identified by their use of quernstones and sickles, the early metal users may be recognised by their use of copper and bronze tools and weapons. This text is lavishly illustrated with an array of ornaments, jewellery, pottery, tools, weapons and other artefacts, of gold, leather, wood, stone copper and bronze, from the prehistoric collection of the National Museum of Ireland.
