The late 19th and early 20th century was a key period of cultural transition in Ireland. Fiction was used in a plainly partisan or polemical fashion to advance changes in Irish society. Murphy explores the outlook of certain important social classes during this time frame through an assessment of Irish Catholic fiction. This highly original study provides a new context for understanding the works of canonical authors such as Joyce and George Moore by discussing them in light of the now almost forgotten writing from which they emerged--the several hundred novels that were written during the period, many of them by women writers.

Despite the efforts of teachers and educators, every year secondary schools across the English-speaking world turn out millions of functionally illiterate leavers. The costs in human misery and in wasted productivity are catastrophic. What can schools do to prevent this situation? In this highly accessible book James and Dianne Murphy combine more than 50 years of experience to provide teachers with a thorough, easy to use introduction to the extensive research on reading and its effects on student achievement. Drawing on the work of experts from around the world, the authors explore how we learn to read, how the many myths and misconceptions around reading developed, and why they continue to persist.Building on these foundations chapters go on to examine how the general secondary school classroom can support all levels of reading more effectively, regardless of subject; how school leaders can ensure that their systems, practices and school culture deliver the very best literacy provision for all students; and what it takes to ensure that a racing intervention aimed at adolescent struggling readers is truly effective. The overall message of this books is one of great optimism: the authors demonstrate that the right of every child to learn to read is entirely achievable if schools employ the best research-driven practice.

This book examines the language of public inquiries to reveal how blame is assigned, avoided, negotiated and discussed in this quasi-legal setting. In doing so, the author adds a much-needed linguistic perspective to the study of blame - previously the reserve of moral philosophers, sociologists and psychologists - at a time when public inquiries are being convened with increasing frequency. While the stated purpose of a public inquiry is rarely to apportion blame, this work reveals how blame is nevertheless woven into the fabric of the activity and how it is constructed by the language of the participants. Its chapters systematically analyse the establishment of inquiries, their questioning patterns, how blame can be avoided by witnesses, how blame is assigned or not by an inquiry's panel and how such blame may result in public apologies. The author concludes with an engaging discussion on the value of public inquiries in civic life and suggestions for changes to the processes of public inquiries. This book will appeal to readers with a general interest in public and political language; in addition to scholars across the disciplines of communication, media studies, politics, sociology, social policy, philosophy, psychology, linguistics, rhetoric, public relations and public affairs.

Desde el autor:
Imaginese ir a la iglesia el domingo por la manana y encontrar el templo cerrado y ninguna persona alrededor. Usted maneja hacia otra iglesia y encuentra la misma situacion: no hay ningun sacerdote, ninguna misa, ninguna boda, solo el miedo en los corazones de personas que quizas sean detenidos por practicar su religion.
Eso es lo que sucedia hace unos 80 anos en Mexico durante la Guerra Cristera, cuando la politica del gobierno era erradicar el catolicismo en esa tierra para siempre. El gobierno confisco las propiedades de la iglesia, prohibio la ensenanza religiosa, e hizo de todo para aterrorizar "al clero catolico deprimente" y sus "seguidores fanaticos." En algunos lugares el ejercito quemo estatuas y obras de arte religiosas. Los soldados bailaban alrededor del fuego poniendose atuendos religiosos que encontraban en la sacristia. Algunas veces iban en busca de sacerdotes y a los que encontraban los mataban.
La libro "El Martirio de Santo Toribio Romo"" (disponible en ingles y espanol) escrito por monsenor James Murphy, rector de la Catedral del Santisimo Sacramento, describe esos anos terribles de la historia mexicana, vista desde los ojos de un sencillo y pueblerino sacerdote que llego a ser una de las victimas: el padre Toribio Romo de Jalisco. La historia inicia en la pequena comunidad rural de Santa Ana donde Toribio nacio y crecio, y donde inicio su viaje de la pobreza al sacerdocio en la Arquidiocesis de Guadalajara.
El libro describe la lucha del padre Romo por conseguir educacion en un lugar que no habia escuelas y donde todos eran analfabetos; su interes por la Enciclica Rerum Novarum del Papa Leo XIII y los problemas que enfrento con parrocos conservadores y feligreses ricos; su experiencia como parroco durante la Guerra Cristera cuando a los catequistas los colgaban en los postes del telegrafo y su Obispo dirigia la arquidiocesis desde un escondite en las montanas. Tambien describe el brutal asesinato del padre Romo por tropas federales en febrero de 1928 en un remoto canon fuera del pueblo de Tequila donde servia en una improvisada capilla. El padre Romo fue canonizado martir por el Papa Juan Pablo II el ano 2000.
Este libro le interesara a cualquier persona que quiera saber mas sobre como los catolicos mexicanos sufrieron hace algunas decadas. Tiene un interes particular para los catolicos de California, porque unos 300 parientes del santo viven en el area de Sacramento, y una reliquia de Santo Toribio, la unica en los EE UU, se encuentra en el altar de la Catedral del Santisimo Sacramento, recien restaurada.
Santo Toribio ya es muy conocido por los inmigrantes mexicanos que cruzan a los Estados Unidos, muchos lo ven como su salvador en este tiempo donde el incremento de la seguridad en la frontera ha cobrado mas victimas entre los inmigrantes. En el 2002 el periodico "The New York Times" informo de numerosas historias que circulan en los caminos peligrosos de los inmigrantes, acerca de una figura misteriosa vestida con ropa oscura, que guia sin peligro a traves de la frontera a hombres que buscan una nueva vida en los EE UU. El unico pago que este extrano pide es una visita algun dia a Santa Ana, Jalisco. Cuando muchos de estos inmigrantes finalmente visitan ese pueblo para dar gracias, se quedan sorprendidos al reconocer el mismo rostro en el altar de la capilla de Santo Toribio. Historias como estas se multiplican, lo que hace que miles visiten la reliquia de Toribio en Santa Ana. Muchas voces se han levantado para pedir que sea proclamarlo oficialmente el santo patrono de los inmigrantes.
