This pioneering collection of essays recovers many aspects of a forgotten Gaelic world. Using a variety of sources, from historical documents and bardic poetry to place-names and the archaeological landscape, a group of scholars share insights into the world of the Gael in the period from c.1250 to 1650. In Part I, the survival and reconfiguration of Gaelic government and political structures are investigated. In Part II, the appearance of both the natural and cultural landscapes of Gaelic territories are discussed as represented by maps of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. In Part III, the archaeology of lordship and the strongholds and residences of Gaelic aristocracy are examined. This book has become one of the definitive books on Gaelic Ireland. -- Publisher description.

There is no doubt that both chronic stress and traumatic stress can wreak havoc on a person''s entire being.

This booklet, designed as part of Humanizing the Badge''s #CallForBackup Suicide Awareness and Prevention Campaign, will provide first responders and/or their family members the information necessary to recognize the signs and symptoms of job-related stress, especially as it relates to suicide, and also provide them with strategies that will enable them to become more resistant to stress, and better prepared to handle the stress of a traumatic incident on the job.
