"Her writing is moment by moment intense, and successful as such...
What propels the reader through the pages is not the tug of 'who
done it' nor the excitement of men with guns coming through doors,
but the sheer excellence of the writing." - H.R.F. Keating A car
speeds down a road between miles of marshes and estuary flats, its
passenger a young woman named Agnes, fresh from a discovery that
has turned her world turned upside down. Meanwhile, the news of a
body found on the marsh is spreading round the local area, panic
following in its wake. A masterpiece of suspense, Mary Kelly's 1962
novel follows Agnes as she casts her mind back through the past few
days to find the links between her husband, his friends, a
mysterious stranger new to the village and a case of unexplained
death. Gripping, intelligent and affecting, Due to a Death was
nominated for the Gold Dagger Award and showcases the author's
versatility and willingness to push the boundaries of the mystery
genre.
Ireland's Great Famine in Irish-American History: Enshrining a
Fateful Memory offers a new, concise interpretation of the history
of the Irish in America. Author and distinguished professor Mary
Kelly's book is the first synthesized volume to track Ireland's
Great Famine within America's immigrant history, and to consider
the impact of the Famine on Irish ethnic identity between the
mid-1800s and the end of the twentieth century. Moving beyond
traditional emphases on Irish-American cornerstones such as church,
party, and education, the book maps the Famine's legacy over a
century and a half of settlement and assimilation. This is the
first attempt to contextualize a painful memory that has endured
fitfully, and unquestionably, throughout Irish-American historical
experience.
Selected and introduced by Juli Carson, this book presents a
collection of essential essays, interviews, and never-before
published archival materials that trace the development of the
teaching of major artist and thinker Mary Kelly, from 1980-2017. As
an artist and a theorist, Kelly is known for her foundational
contributions to Feminism and Conceptual Art; she is also revered
for her innovative pedagogy, which has influenced countless
artists, writers and teachers within the international art
community. Her description of a feminist practice of concentric
pedagogy, centred on the artwork rather the mastery of the teacher,
radically changed teaching practice in art studios. Detailing
Kelly’s innovative pedagogical program, the essays are split into
three sections: The Method, which focuses on Kelly’s renowned
method of “ethical observation†within studio critique; The
Project, which explores her notion of what constitutes an artistic
project; and Project and Method in the Field which presents, for
the first time, a transcription of On the Passage of a Few People
though a Rather Brief Period of Time, a performative colloquy
commissioned by the Tate Modern and moderated by Kelly in 2015;
following this transcription is a portfolio of practicing artists
previously enrolled in Kelly’s Interdisciplinary Studio Area at
UCLA. Mary Kelly’s Concentric Pedagogy highlights how
contemporary studio teaching practice has been largely informed by
Kelly’s bold and innovative approach to art pedagogy, evidencing
how the intersection of teaching, artistic practice, and radical
political engagement can transform our approach to all three. It is
essential reading for students and teachers of art and design
studio practice, art history and theory, contemporary, and feminist
art.
Making a Collection Count connects the various pieces of library
collection management, such as selection, cataloguing, shelving,
circulation and weeding, and teaches readers how to gather and
analyze data from each point in a collection s life cycle.
Relationships between collections and other library services, such
as reference, programming, and technology, are also explored. The
result is a quality collection that is clean, current, relevant,
and useful, and which connects and highlights various library
services.
Offers practical applications for collection librarians and
managers who are practitioners in the field. It is more than just a
theoretical discussion of collection quality and collection
management because useful, realistic advice is offeredThis is not a
book about collection development. It is unique in that the focus
is on collection quality: making the most of a library collection
budget, performing physical inventory, and gathering/using data and

This book is the first full-length study dedicated to French women
Orientalist artists. Mary Kelly has gathered primary documentation
relating to seventy-two women artists whose works of art can be
placed in the canon of French Orientalism between 1861 and 1956.
Bringing these artists together for the first time and presenting
close contextual analyses of works of art, attention is given to
artists’ cross-cultural interactions with painted/sculpted
representations of the Maghreb particularly in Algeria, Tunisia and
Morocco. Using an interdisciplinary ‘open platform of
discussion’ approach, Kelly builds on established theory which
places emphases on the gendered gaze. This entails a discussion on
women’s painted perspectives of and contacts with Muslim women as
well as various Maghrebi cultures and land—all the while
remaining mindful of the subject position of the French artist and
the problematic issues which can arise when discussing
European-made ‘ethnographic’ scenes. Kelly argues that French
women’s perspectives of the Maghreb differed from the male gaze
and were informed by their artistic training and social positions
in Europe. In so doing, French women’s socio-cultural modernity
is also examined. Moreover, executed between 1861 and 1956, the
works of art presented show influences of Modernism; therefore,
this book also pays close attention to progressive Realism and
Naturalism in art and the Orientalist shift into Modernist subject
matter and form. Through this research into French women
Orientalists, Kelly engages with important discussions on the
crossing view of the historical female other with the cultural
other, artistic hybridity and influence in art as well as the
postcolonial response to French activities in colonial Algeria and
the protectorates of Tunisia and Morocco. On giving focus to
women’s art and the impact of cross-cultural interchanges, this
book rethinks Orientalism in French art. This book will be of
particular interest to scholars in the history of art, gender
studies, history, and Middle Eastern and North African studies.

Staffordshire in the 1950s. Within the clay tanks at the pottery
company Shentall's, a body has been found. Amid cries of industrial
espionage and sabotage of this leader of the pottery industry,
there is a case of bitter murder to solve for Inspector Hedley
Nicholson. Kelly's mystery won the CWA Gold Dagger Award in 1961
for its impeccable sense of place and detail, and for the emotional
weight of its central crime. The novel is part of a shift from the
cosiness of crime novels before to mysteries characterised by their
psychological interest and affecting realism. An influential
classic.

Teens who have experienced the death of parent, grandparent, friend
or relative often find it difficult to grieve openly. When adults
who teens trust are aware of the cycle of grief, they can provide a
safe atmosphere to allow teens to experience the turmoil of the
intense and conflicting emotions in order to move towards healing.
This book is a valuable guide, helping adults connect with grieving
teens. The reader will find background information along with many
specific activities to help teens reflect upon and talk about their
particular concerns. Issues of grief are introduced through
drawing, molding clay, painting, movement, writing, listening to
music, as well as talking in pairs and as a group. In addition, new
activities incorporate the various dimensions of the grieving
process with audio-visual materials and the Internet.
The second edition of "Helping Teens Work Through Grief" provides a
more complete and updated manual for facilitators of teen grief
groups. It includes additional background information about
developmental aspects of teens, the process of grief, aspects of
trauma and its effects on teens, the value of a group, determining
the group-appropriateness of particular teens, and parental
involvement. The many details involved with beginning a group -
publicity, interviews, registration, structure, closure,
evaluation, and follow-up - are listed.
This resource provides teachers, counselors, psychologists, social
workers, hospice personnel and religious youth workers with the
necessary information to work with teens in a group setting or
support a grieving individual. In a less formal setting, "Helping
Teens Work Through Grief" could also serve as a guidefor a
concerned neighbor or family member who is in a position to help a
grieving teen on the healing journey towards wholeness.

Rivers are said to be the veins, and streams the capillaries, that
carry freshwater, the scarce lifeblood of the Earth. However,
freshwaters are experiencing species extinctions at a rate faster
than any other ecosystem, and human activities are threatening our
survival through overexploiting and degrading water quality. Rivers
have been channelled, buried underground, dammed, diverted and
polluted; some so over-abstracted that their waters no longer reach
the sea. With abundant rainfall, Irish rivers are less damaged than
many of those in other countries, but most have water quality
problems that can impact the quality of our lives and economic
activities, as shortages of safe water supplies have demonstrated.
This timely book aims to raise awareness of Ireland's fantastic and
often undervalued river resource, and the importance of changing
our behaviour and policies to ensure that we keep it in a healthy
condition for its sustainable benefits, as well as protection of
its biodiversity. The book captures the expertise of 39 Irish
freshwater experts to provide an up-to-date account on the
evolution of Ireland's rivers and their flow characteristics,
biodiversity and how humans have depended on, used and abused our
rivers through time. Irish rivers include types that are rare
elsewhere in Europe and support a wide range of aquatic organisms
and processes. In Ireland's Rivers there are chapters on their
hydrology and on their animal and plant life, on crayfish, fish and
pearl mussels, and on aquatic birds and mammals, describing their
importance and the threats to their survival such as pollution and
loss of habitat. There are case studies of characteristic but
contrasting Irish rivers, the Avonmore, Burrishoole, Araglin and
the mighty Shannon, and information on invasive aquatic species.
Water quality and river management are underlying themes. Ireland's
Rivers concludes with some suggestions for ways that individuals,
households, communities and policy makers can help protect the
health and beauty of our rivers and their wildlife.
This volume takes inspiration from Professor Catherine Shannon's
scholarship on Modern Irish and Irish American history and her
advocacy for peace in Northern Ireland and features original
research by distinguished scholars and social-justice activists on
both sides of the Atlantic. The essays illuminate the historical
relationship between Ireland and North America over past centuries.
They offer new readings of the transatlantic crosscurrents that
shape our understanding of Irish emigration and North American
settlement, and constructions of ethnic Irish identities. This
collection brings together respected Irish, British, American, and
Canadian historians, literary scholars, and social-justice
activists to address the following thematic approaches to the Irish
and Irish American historical experience: Famine impact and legacy;
Boston Irish political culture; Irish Revolution-era nationalist
activism; Northern Ireland conflict. Considered from a range of
historical, literary, political, and cultural perspectives, the
essays collected here examine crucial forces connecting the
ancestral home and the adopted homeland over centuries of Irish
migration and North American settlement. They revise traditional
depictions of ethnic Irishness in explorations of the Famine's
consequence, ethnic Irish prominence in Boston, the 1916-era
watershed, and Northern Ireland's troubled political and cultural
landscape--lenses that expose crucial historical navigations across
the Irish Atlantic. These new readings of the evolution of the
ethnic identity collectively generate a major contribution to
modern Irish and Irish American historical scholarship.
Taking Your Library Career to the Next Level: Participating,
Publishing, and Presenting helps librarians establish a brand and
name recognition in their area of expertise, suggesting how to
write winning proposals for both publication and presentation and
places to publish. In addition, it covers how to conquer fears of
public speaking and how to make presentations more dynamic. As
professional development is important in most library settings to
earn or maintain credentials, this book helps academic librarians
look for opportunities to earn tenure, also helping special
librarians look for ways to focus their training on a narrow
subject area. Regardless of their reason for looking for
professional development opportunities, librarians of all types
will find satisfaction in contributing to the profession at a
higher level. Participating in professional conversations and
decision-making that impacts others in the field, and sharing
knowledge through publishing and presenting are great ways to
become better librarians.

Essays and interviews that span Mary Kelly's career highlight the
artist's sustained engagement with feminism and feminist history.
When Mary Kelly's best-known work, Post-Partum Document
(1973-1979), was shown at the Institute of Contemporary Art in
London in 1976, it caused a sensation-an unexpected response to an
intellectually demanding and aesthetically restrained installation
of conceptual art. The reception signaled resistance to the work's
interrogation of feminine identity and the cultural mythologizing
of motherhood. This volume of essays and interviews begins with
this foundational work, offering an early statement by the artist,
a subsequent interview, and an essay situating the work within a
broader broader discourse of art and social purpose in the early
1970s. Throughout, the collection addresses such themes as labor,
war, trauma, and the politics of care, while emphasizing the
artist's sustained engagement with histories of feminism and
generations of feminists. The contributions also consider such
specific works as Kelly's Interim (1984-1989), the subject of a
special issue of October; Gloria Patri (1992), an installation
conceived in response to the first Gulf War; The Ballad of Kastriot
Rexhepi (2001), an extensive project including a 200-foot narrative
executed in the medium of compressed lint and the performance of a
musical score by Michael Nyman; and two recent works, Love Songs
(2005-2007), which explores the role of memory in feminist
politics, and Mimus (2012), a triptych that parodies the House
Un-American Activities Committee's 1962 investigation of the
pacifist group, Women Strike for Peace. Essays and Interviews by
Parveen Adams, Emily Apter, Rosalyn Deutsche, Hal Foster, Margaret
Iversen, Mary Kelly, Helen Molesworth, Laura Mulvey, Mignon Nixon,
Griselda Pollock, Paul Smith
