Charity and the Great Hunger in Ireland

The Great Irish Famine was one of the most devastating humanitarian disasters of the nineteenth century. In a period of only five years, Ireland lost approximately 25% of its population through a combination of death and emigration. How could such a tragedy have occurred at the heart of the vast, and resource-rich, British Empire?Charity and the Great Hunger in Ireland explores this question by focusing on a particular, and lesser-known, aspect of the Famine: that being the extent to which people throughout the world mobilized to provide money, food and clothing to assist the starving Irish. This book considers how, helped by developments in transport and communications, newspapers throughout the world reported on the suffering in Ireland, prompting funds to be raised globally on an unprecedented scale. Donations came from as far away as Australia, China, India and South America and contributors emerged from across the various religious, ethnic, social and gender divides. Charity and the Great Hunger in Ireland traces the story of this international aid effort and uses it to reveal previously unconsidered elements in the history of the Famine in Ireland.

James thought he knew a thing or two about hacking, but it was the three or four things he didn't know that was about to get someone hurt. Some people try to recapture the wild abandonment of their youth through inappropriate lycra shorts and expensive bikes, whilst others indulge in dangerous affaires. Some, however, prefer to embrace their long forgotten childhood desires to be a nimble cat-burglar or high-tech bank robber. In a twist upon the advice given out by many mothers, it turns out that the devil finds work for idle hands, whether those hands are six, sixteen or forty six. In the rush for high-speed broadband internet and wireless connectivity the security door has been left open. And it is not always spotty teenagers with a Facebook account and an mp3 player surgically implanted to their ear that are the danger.

Charity Bell is eighteen, beautiful, and has an unyielding chip on her shoulder. The loss of her father and betrayal of her stepfather have left her angry and confident that no man will ever win her trust, or possess her heart. She wears that declaration proudly--on her countenance, as well as her sharp tongue.That's all tested when the enchanting Levi Drake transfers from her rival school across town. In a town divided by intense rivalry this should mean trouble, and yet the school is quickly won over by his alluring charm. When a strange encounter with the mysterious young man leaves Charity bewildered, she's convinced he's hiding something and sets out on a dangerous plot to discover his secret. What she uncovers, however, will leave her both grasping for reality and hanging onto the tattered shreds of what's left of her declaration. As she faces the demons of her past, and present, she must decide if she can live, or die, with his. True love can melt the iciest of hearts.
