This edited book explores the origins and evolution of the early
childhood education and care (ECEC) system on the island of Ireland
since the establishment of the Irish Free State in 1921. While the
book acknowledges and celebrates the role of parents in caring for
and educating their young children within the home, the key focus
is on the provisions outside the home for children from birth to
six years. It critiques the historical and contemporary provision
under a number of key themes including curriculum, the policy and
legislative landscapes, inspection and regulation, Irish language
provision and professionalisation. Written by key experts and
actors from the sector, it makes a unique contribution to the
existing literature by bringing together in one collection a
critical analysis of the key themes relating to the development of
ECEC in Ireland. Moreover, signposts and signals for the future
development of the sector are integral to the book.

Much as an ancient hymnist carries a familiar subject into new
directions of song, the contributors to "A Californian Hymn to
Homer" draw upon Homeric scholarship as inspiration for pursuing
new ways of looking at texts, both within the Homeric tradition and
outside it. This set of seven original essays, accompanied by a new
translation of the Homeric "Hymn to Apollo," considers topics that
transcend traditional generic distinctions between epic and lyric,
choral and individual, performed and literary. Treating subjects
ranging from Aeschylus' reception of Homeric anger to the
representation of mantic performance within Early Islamic texts,
the collection presents a selection of imaginative critical work
done on the West Coast by scholars of antiquity.

This book is on the Inquisition, particularly the Spanish
Inquisition as opposed to the Roman Inquisition in the years
following the Spanish Reconquista. Walsh delves into the
Inquisition, its practice, purpose, history and personalities. The
Inquisition was not a bloodthirsty BDSM fest gone wild. It was a
reasoned response to infiltration of the Catholic Church by enemies
of the Christian Faith who pretended to be Christians in order to
pervert worship, doctrine and weaken Christendom. Anyone wishing to
understand the Inquisition would to well to read Characters and
learn of the heroes of the Faith, Cardinal Ximenes, Torquemada, and
others who fought the good fight for Jesus Christ and his Church,
After reading Characters, you will never look at the Inquisition in
the same way.
