Although it is widely recognized that there are significant
variations in the circulation throughout the 24-hour day, these
patterns have often been conceived as nuisance variables rather
than functional differences. Responses of the circulation are
examined here not as stable phenomena, but as integrated functions
highly sensitive to environmental conditions, and driven by
internal and external pacesetters. In this volume, cardiologists
with a primary interest in hypertension or heart disease,
chronobiologists, and psychologists join together for the first
time to give the reader the opportunity to learn the extent and
clinical significance of these changes from a chronobiological,
behavioral and physiological perspective.

From the Revolutionary War forward, Irish immigrants have
contributed significantly to the construction of the American
Republic. Scholars have documented their experiences and explored
their social, political, and cultural lives in countless books.
Offering a fresh perspective, this volume traces the rich history
of the Irish American diaspora press, uncovering the ways in which
a lively print culture forged significant cultural, political, and
even economic bonds between the Irish living in America and the
Irish living in Ireland. As the only mass medium prior to the
advent of radio, newspapers served to foster a sense of identity
and a means of acculturation for those seeking to establish
themselves in the land of opportunity. Irish American newspapers
provided information about what was happening back home in Ireland
as well as news about the events that were occurring within the
local migrant community. They framed national events through Irish
American eyes and explained the significance of what was happening
to newly arrived immigrants who were unfamiliar with American
history or culture. They also played a central role in the social
life of Irish migrants and provided the comfort that came from
knowing that, though they may have been far from home, they were
not alone. Taking a long view through the prism of individual
newspapers, editors, and journalists, the authors in this volume
examine the emergence of the Irish American diaspora press and its
profound contribution to the lives of Irish Americans over the
course of the last two centuries.
