Famine, Land and Culture in Ireland
Carla King

Univ College Dublin Pr, 2001

Land has been a dominant theme in modern Irish history, extending to political and cultural issues as well as permeating social and economic ones. Recent scholarship has uncovered a picture richer in detail and more complex in its development than traditional images of the land question would suggest. This collection of eleven essays takes an interdisciplinary approach to the subject of land in Ireland, from the time of the Great Famine to ...

Parnell And His Island (Classics of Irish History)
George Moore, Carla King

University College Dublin Press, 2004

The essays in Parnell and His Island caused outrage in Ireland when first published in the French newspaper Le Figaro in 1886.

In some respects the work addresses similar themes and can be seen as a companion piece to his famous novel, A Drama in Muslin. Moore, ...

Lisa Alpine, Jacqueline Butler, ...

Globe Pequot, 2002

Perfectly executed!
This book was perfectly conceived and executed. These 24 smart stories by 12 smart women cover the whole tonal range -- funny, poignant, gut-wrenching, beautiful, thoughtful, irreverant, wonderfully sappy... And the publishing concept itself was brilliant, a clever way to crack a difficult market: strength in numbers, taking power into their own hands...in retrospect it seems so obvious, but ...

American Borders: A Solo Circumnavigation of the United States on a Russian Sidecar Motorcycle

5 reviews
Carla King

Motorcycle Misadventures, 2007

Take Me With You Next Time!
From the moment Carla's motorcycle started up the road to adventure, I was with her - in the sidecar - the whole way. You discover, laugh, get pissed off, and at times, unsure what's next as King curves and glides across America. Great adventurous read. All the people you meet. I felt as though I was meeting them too. Love the Canadian border/US border group. When the bike breaks down, and it ...
