From the founding of Ireland's first national team in 1875 to the Grand Slam winners of today.

From the founding of Ireland's first national team in 1875, to the Grand Slam winners of today, 150 years later, acclaimed rugby writer Peter Bills journeys around Ireland to discover what makes Irish rugby the force that it is. Along the way he meets the men and women within whom the great spirit of Irish rugby resides, from the 50-year servant of a small local club out in the wilds of Connemara, to the coach who discovered one of Ireland's greatest ever rugby men down in Munster and the official who has filled just about every role imaginable in his local club, from player to coach, club President to groundsman. Whether it be at the Armagh or Coalisland clubs in the north, or Skibbereen and Sunday's Well in the south, Bills explores how rugby union in Ireland has overridden sectarianism and division to become the only sport played as a single nation and how Ireland's rugby system, in which many great rugby-playing schools feature prominently, has always produced many outstanding, individual world class players. Featuring exclusive interviews with many greats of the Irish game, such as Willie John McBride, Brian O'Driscoll, Paul O'Connell, Keith Wood, Ronnie Dawson, Mike Gibson, Tony Ward, Ronan O'Gara, Peter O'Mahony, current national coach Andy Farrell and many more, Triumphs, Trophies and Troubles is a journey and a celebration, of a game and the people who have embraced it down the years. How they have lived their lives and how the game of rugby has been so integral a part of their souls.

The Dark Hours

BOWIE IS STILL OUT THERE... Following open heart surgery, poet and writer Peter Carpenter was given one instruction - 'Walk, if you want to stay on this planet'. And so when his hero and inspiration David Bowie died in 2016, he knew what he had to do. The man who was to so many a companion and guide had left no shrine, no focal point of understanding. To reconnect with Bowie, he would take a walk into the past, to the streets, towns and places where David Jones became something more. Walking to recover, to stay alive, Peter realised he was also recovering his lost hero. Leaving behind Heddon Street and Brixton, well-known Bowie shrines, he moved out through South London edgelands and suburbia to remoter Bowie haunts: Croydon, Aylesbury, Pett Level, Southend-on-Sea. Finding the windows Bowie had stared out from in Clareville Grove; the streets in Beckenham where he'd scurried by. He sifted through debris on a patch of waste ground in Tunbridge Wells where Bowie's parents first met. He turned the handle and entered Shirley Parish Hall to find the same stage where a young Davy Jones and the Kon-Rads set up to play back in 1962; and travelled to Berlin, to emerge from the S-Bahn to gape at the ruined portico of the Anhalter Bahnhof and asked 'What is this?' In Bowieland, Carpenter's peripatetic trampings seem to echo Bowie's own wandering creative spirit, the walks often uncovering hidden layers, and making fresh connections to key Bowie stories, uncovering and influences conscious and subconscious. Through walking, an understanding is reached of where Bowie sits in the culture, his place among the poets, painters, artists and musicians who came before him, who inhabited the same spaces and in doing so passed on their wisdom to Bowie. Through Carpenter's travels these suburban lands became a new, very real place, that anyone can visit if they take the time... Welcome to 'Bowieland'

'Fabulous... What a ghost story! A ripping read.' IAIN SINCLAIR, author of London Orbital 'Vividly celebrates Bowie as not just a chameleonic visionary, but a nomadic one, a creature informed by place and circumstance" STUART MACONIE BOWIE IS STILL OUT THERE...

Routledge Studies in Irish Literature

Focusing on one of Murphy's central innovations - his experimentation with theatre and everyday space - the book considers the significance of Murphy's work in modern drama more broadly.

Tom Murphy’s Theatre of Everyday Space

The first general nonfiction title in thirty years from a giant of American letters, The Search for the Genuine is a sparkling, definitive collection of Jim Harrison's essays and journalism—some never before published

New York Times–bestselling author Jim Harrison (1937–2016) was a writer with a poet’s economy of style and a trencherman’s appetites. Praised as a “national treasure” (Chicago Tribune) and published in twenty-seven languages, he was one of this country’s most beloved and critically acclaimed authors. Best known for his poetry and fiction such as Legends of the Fall, Dalva, and Returning to Earth, Harrison was also a prolific nonfiction writer, with columns running in Sports Illustrated and Esquire, and work in Outside, Field &amp; Stream, and others. The first collection of Harrison’s general nonfiction in thirty years, The Search for the Genuine is a sparkling, definitive volume of essays and journalism—from the near-classic to the never-published.

With his trademark ribald humor, compassion, and full-throated zest for life, The Search for the Genuine pays tribute to writers from Bukowski to Neruda to Peter Matthiessen, and examines the distance between literary reputation and the work itself; he attains something like satori in the field hunting grouse; he reports on Yellowstone for the park’s hundredth anniversary, when he was merely a tourist to the part of Montana he would eventually call home; he takes to the open sea in pursuit of roosterfish, marlin, tarpon, and, once, to observe a scientific mission tagging sharks; he delivers a heartbreaking essay on life—and, for those attempting to cross in the ever-more dangerous gaps, death—on the US-Mexico border. Always he comes back to the spirit and to connection with the natural world and the people who sustained him; throughout the book his feeling for the American landscape rings out.

Lovingly introduced by acclaimed novelist, poet, and essayist Luis Alberto Urrea, The Search for the Genuine is a feast that captures a lifetime of reading, writing, and living to the fullest, from a true “American original” (San Francisco Chronicle).
