Dublin - capital of Ireland and, to some at least, the ' second city of the Empire' - was central to the Irish Revolution. But there were many different ' Dublins', including the city borough and its suburban townships, picturesque seaside settlements and the Dublin and Wicklow mountains to the south, and a rural hinterland to the north and west. The city was a hub for the development of the suffrage and republican movements. It also witnessed the largest industrial dispute in the history of the island in 1913, the bulk of the fighting at Easter 1916, and some of the most famous (and infamous) moments of the War of Independence and Civil War. There was also a relatively large and well-organized unionist minority, chiefly centered around the southside townships. The north and west of the county, meanwhile, shared more in common with neighbouring counties than with the city. This book provides a rounded and original overview of revolution in both Dublin city and county. It highlights the sometimes vast differences in experience in urban and rural Dublin, and the wide range of political and military activity undertaken by Dubliners. In particular, the book focusses on ' ordinary' or rank-and-file participants alongside those who took no part at all but witnessed seminal - and not so seminal - moments in Irish history as they happened around them.

Roughly one century ago (give or take the odd month) Allen Clarke's 'Windmill Land' was first published; a philosophical account of the author's rambles around the Fylde and Wyre. One hundred years later, armed only with their first-edition copy, Michelle Harris and Brian Hughes pulled on their hiking boots and headed off in search of Clarke's legacy. This is 'Windmill Land' rediscovered, reappraised, re-evaluated - a 'Return to Windmill Land' to see what's become of it.

Often called the greatest middleweight boxer of all time, Marvelous Marvin Hagler held the world title for 12 defences, his bouts with Sugar Ray Leonard, Thomas Hearns and Roberto Duran entering fistic folklore. Marvelous tells Hagler's extraordinary life story for the first time, and gets right to the heart of a complex and charismatic man.

Psychology is one of the most popular subjects in universities across the world, offering unique insights into the human condition. However, its very popularity threatens to undermine its value as a discipline, and it often attracts those who lack scientific rigour. Taking a fresh look at common practices and pitfalls, Brian Hughes examines the relationship between psychology, science and pseudoscience, and explores the biases impeding some psychologists from being truly rigorous.
