Landscape and Topography
Aalen, Whelan and Stout , (eds), Atlas of the Irish Rural Landscape (Cork University Press; University of Toronto).

Deirde Flanagon & Lawrence Flanagan , Irish Place Names (Gill & MacMillan; Irish Books & Media). Expertly researched account of the origins of virtually everywhere on the island - a dipper's delight. Breandan & Ruari o hEithir , An Aran Reader (Lilliput IRE). A fascinating anthology of writings about the Aran Islands, including the works of early travellers, anthropologists, poets and islanders. Tim Robinson , The Stones of Aran: Pilgrimage (Penguin UK). Treats the largest of the Aran Islands to a scrutiny of Proustian detail. The Stones of Aran: Labyrinth (Penguin UK) completes the projects, to form a uniquely challenging travel book.
