Ireland's Great Hunger Museum at Quinnipiac University publishes Famine Folios, a unique resource for students, scholars and researchers, as well as general readers, covering many aspects of the Famine in Ireland from 1845 - 1852 - the worst demographic catastrophe of nineteenth-century Europe. The essays are interdisciplinary in nature, and make available new research in Famine studies by internationally established scholars in history, art history, cultural theory, philosophy, media history, political economy, literature and music. This publications initiative is devised to augment the Museum experience, and is part of the Museum's commitment to making its collection accessible to audiences of all ages and levels of educational interest. The booklets are produced to the highest level, beautifully illustrated with works from the Museum and related collections. It ensures that audiences have access to the latest scholarship as it pertains to both the historical and contemporary dimensions of the collection. Commemorative projects, born out of conflicting memories, can be problematic.Catherine Marshall challenges the coarsening of history by the construction of commemorative monuments that are thought to provide closure over the events that they mark. She explores how imaginative artists help us to work into and through the past. Through the vitality of her artists, at home and abroad, Ireland and the diaspora have attempted to come to terms with some of the inherited legacies of the Great Hunger, the most devastating event in modern Irish history.

This book explores the concept of deference as used by historians and political scientists. Often confused and judged to be outdated, it shows how deference remains central to understanding British politics to the present day. This study aims to make sense of how political deference has functioned in different periods and how it has played a crucial role in legitimising British politics. It shows how deference sustained what are essentially English institutions, those which dominated the Union well into the second half of the twentieth century until the post-1997 constitutional transformations under New Labour. While many dismiss political and institutional deference as having died out, this book argues that a number of recent political decisions – including the vote in favour of Brexit in June 2016 – are the result of a deferential way of thinking that has persisted through the democratic changes of the twentieth century. Combining close readings of theoretical texts with analysesof specific legal changes and historical events, the book charts the development of deference from the eighteenth century through to the present day. Rather than offering a comprehensive history of deference, it picks out key moments that show the changing nature of deference, both as a concept and as a political force.

Developments over the last twenty years have fueled considerable speculation about the future of the book and of reading itself. This book begins with a gloss over the history of electronic books, including the social and technical forces that have shaped their development. The focus then shifts to reading and how we interact with what we read: basic issues such as legibility, annotation, and navigation are examined as aspects of reading that ebooks inherit from their print legacy. Because reading is fundamentally communicative, I also take a closer look at the sociality of reading: how we read in a group and how we share what we read. Studies of reading and ebook use are integrated throughout the book, but Chapter 5 "goes meta" to explore how a researcher might go about designing his or her own reading-related studies. No book about ebooks is complete without an explicit discussion of content preparation, i.e., how the electronic book is written. Hence, Chapter 6 delves into the underlying representation of ebooks and efforts to create and apply markup standards to them. This chapter also examines how print genres have made the journey to digital and how some emerging digital genres might be realized as ebooks. Finally, Chapter 7 discusses some beyond-the-book functionality: how can ebook platforms be transformed into portable personal libraries? In the end, my hope is that by the time the reader reaches the end of this book, he or she will feel equipped to perform the next set of studies, write the next set of articles, invent new ebook functionality, or simply engage in a heated argument with the stranger in seat 17C about the future of reading.

Maa, johon Pyhä Henki haluaisi meidät johtaa, on kirkas lupausten maa. Se on valmistettu perillisille - Kuninkaan rakkaille lapsille. Meidän ei tarvitse odottaa kuolemaa päästäksemme sinne - se on tässä ja nyt. Luvattu maa ei tule meidän luoksemme. Sinne pääsemisessä kysytään myös meidän tahtoamme: meidän on kypsyttävä siihen päätökseen, että tahdomme nousta ja lähteä matkaan. Kun sen teemme, meillä on varma lupaus:”Jokaisen paikan, johon te jalkanne astutte, minä annan teille.” Onko siis ihme, että evankeliumi on ”ilosanoma kaikille”! Astu siis esiin ja ota iloisena vastaan kaikki, minkä perijäksi olet tullut.Tutkittuani aihetta: Elämä Pyhässä Hengessä. Hiljalleen tietoni lisääntyivät. Näin, että Pyhän Hengen täyteys ei ole uskoon tulemisen automaattinen seuraus. Hänen tulonsa meihin asumaan on lahja, paras lahja, minkä Isä voi meille antaa. Jeesus sanoi, että meidän on haluttava tätä lahjaa, pyydettävä häntä tulemaan. Jotain muutakin alkoi hiljaa kirkastua. Ymmärsin miksi saamme vain vähän rukousvastauksia, koska emme kiinnitä Häneen tarpeeksi huomiotamme. Ihmeiden tekijä on Pyhä Henki.Raamattu pitää ihmeitä asiaankuuluvina. Pyhä Henki, Auttajamme, tuo aina ihmeet mukanaan. Hänen ympärillään on ihmeiden ilmapiiri; Hänelle niiden tapahtuminen on selviö. Aloin innostua. Yhä uskomattomammalta minusta tuntui, että seurakunnat vaikenivat tällaisesta asiasta. Miten oli mahdollista, etten voinut muistaa pitkään aikaan kuulleeni saarnaa Pyhästä Hengestä? Miksei hänestä puhuttu enemmän? -Catherine Marshall
