This edited book, written by a collection of scholars with an
interest in Northern Ireland, tracks its uneasy experience with
devolution following the optimistic political period associated
with the 1998 Belfast (Good Friday) Agreement. The volume brings
together researchers from the Economic and Social Research
Council's (ESRC) 'Devolution and Constitutional Change' Programme
and other experts to record four key perspectives on Northern
Ireland. First, it considers the inextricable link between
devolution and constitutional developments. Second, it examines how
the main political parties responded to devolution and the major
challenges faced by society in moving beyond conflict (such as
political symbolism, the role of women, equality and human rights
issues). Third, it attempts to assess some of the workings of
devolved government in its short-lived form or those seeded in
devolution and carried on by direct rule ministers. Finally,
Northern Irelands devolved government and associated institutions
are located within the wider relationships with Westminster, the
Republic of Ireland and Europe. This edited volume will be of
interest to students of Irish politics and public policy, but more
generally, from a comparative perspective, those with an interest
in devolution and constitutional change. It may even assist
politicians in Northern Ireland to reflect on the real potential to
restore its devolved institutions and draw back from the brink of
permanently copper-fastening 'direct rule' from Westminster. -- .

An essential guide to growing apples at high latitudes and
altitudes. Hardy Apples is both a practical guide and a loving
tribute to the wonderful abundance and diversity of apple cultivars
available to the northern gardener and orchardist. Full of tips,
facts, beautiful photographs and fascinating stories about apples
both popular and obscure, this book is sure to inform and entertain
in equal measure. Drawing on over 40 years of experience
propagating and selling apple cultivars from his nursery in New
Brunswick, Canada, author Bob Osborne walks you through the basics
of how an apple tree grows and the ideal conditions needed to
cultivate a successful crop. Osborne also includes vital
information about planting, pruning, harvesting, storing, and
propagating apples and devotes an entire chapter to preventing and
dealing with the pests and diseases that plague so many growers,
plus the challenges of hard winters and unpredictable weather.
Following the section on growing apples is an extensive catalogue
of over 90 apple cultivars. Here are just a few of the apples you
will find: Ashmead's Kernel, Bottle Greening, Cox's Orange Pippin,
Fameuse, Red Astrachan, Seek-No-Further. Each profile features a
brief history and description of the apple as well as information
and photos to help identify cultivars you might already have in
your garden. With the growing popularity of cider making, Osborne
includes a special section dedicated to excellent cultivars that
cideries should seek out. The guide also features hardiness zone
maps, resources and a handy table of hardy cultivars, a great
at-a-glance reference when shopping for trees. With over 200
exquisite colour photographs and illustrations, Hardy Apples is an
elegant, educational and entertaining reference that is equally at
home atop a coffee table or a propagator's station.

Gone With The Wind is one of the most popular movies of all
time. To commemorate its seventy-fifth anniversary in 2014, The
Making of Gone With The Wind presents more than 600 items from the
archives of David O. Selznick, the film's producer, and his
business partner John Hay "Jock" Whitney, which are housed at the
Harry Ransom Center at the University of Texas at Austin. These
rarely seen materials, which are also being featured in a major
2014 exhibition at the Ransom Center, offer fans and film
historians alike a must-have behind-the-camera view of the
production of this classic.
Before a single frame of film was shot, Gone With The Wind was
embroiled in controversy. There were serious concerns about how the
film would depict race and violence in the Old South during the
Civil War and Reconstruction. While Clark Gable was almost
everyone's choice to play Rhett Butler, there was no clear favorite
for Scarlett O'Hara. And then there was the huge challenge of
turning Margaret Mitchell's Pulitzer Prize-winning epic into a
manageable screenplay and producing it at a reasonable cost. The
Making of Gone With The Wind tells these and other surprising
stories with fascinating items from the Selznick archive, including
on-set photographs, storyboards, correspondence and fan mail,
production records, audition footage, gowns worn by Vivien Leigh as
Scarlett, and Selznick's own notoriously detailed memos.
This inside view of the decisions and creative choices that
shaped the production reaffirm that Gone With The Wind is perhaps
the quintessential film of Hollywood's Golden Age and illustrate
why it remains influential and controversial decades after it was
released.
