Two centuries ago sail and oar dominated local Irish trade and fisheries. At least 60 types of traditional boats operated, such as flat-bottomed craft, smooth hulled 'skin' boats (curachs), Viking-style clinker sailing yawls and great carvel-built hookers. This remarkable work, many years in the making and arranged by coastal area, describes these craft, their construction and handling, usage and history, with recollections by those who experienced the often arduous life associated with them. Many examples of traditional craft are still part of the fabric of coastal and inland water communities today as work boats and pleasure boats. A revival in traditional boats for leisure and sport allows them to prosper as many are restored and replicas built. Traditional Boats of Ireland goes beyond technical descriptions of boats to the background of their use. Changing patterns of fishing and water transport are considered, and the wider role of boats in people's lives - boat racing, dramas at sea, and other stories of human interest. This brings alive the array of craft once a feature of our coasts, lakes and rivers. Line and construction plans, archival and modern photographs and illustrations, historical documents, local tradition and folklore, all combine to piece together this story of traditional boats. It is a story that will appeal to the specialist and general reader alike, and to all whose lives are touched in different ways by the power and wonder of the sea. The Traditional Boats of Ireland Project took shape at a summer school at the Glandore Classic Boat Regatta in 1994. No comprehensive study had been made of Ireland's heritage of traditional boats, and it was feared many would disappear without trace. Since 1994, local historians, boat-builders, sailors, former fishermen, and 'classic boat' enthusiasts, were 'press-ganged' to collect information and to prepare studies of individual boat types. The results of this unique project have been brought together and edited by Criostoir MacCarthaigh, of the UCD Centre for Irish Folklore, with the help of Donal MacPolin, an illustrator and maritime historian.

This book, now in its second edition, brings together the best available understandings of human development from a multidisciplinary perspective. Uniquely inclusive of the moral and faith dimensions of context and life-cycle development, Human Development and Faith examines the interplay of mind, body, family, community, and soul at every stage of development. It addresses two central questions: What are the "good-enough" conditions of parenting, family, and community in each phase of life, from birth to death, which support growth and development? What gives life adequate meaning as development proceeds? If human development describes the normative and hoped-for passages of life, then faith provides the necessary component of meaning. Throughout the various perspectives offered in this volume is the premise that faith is that quality of living that makes it possible to fully live. Traditional Boats of Ireland: History, Folklore and Construction free download pdf The Journal of Pastoral Theology called the first edition of Human Development and Faith "an excellent text for pastoral theology courses, because it fulfills its ambitious goal of bringing a holistic faith perspective to the usual topics of development." This second edition includes a new chapter on infancy, updates reflecting our growing awareness of cultural diversity, and a new preface.
