Brian Rogers (Part 2) ✓ In Stock

In this second recording, Brian Rogers traces the history of Irish thatching and discusses thatching as it was done in the 1700s and 1800s. He explains that the quality degraded over time. He talks about the architectural heritage of thatching and discusses the disappearance of thatched houses. Also discussed is the faster disintegration of today’s roofs, which he believes is the result of acid rain and the lifestyles of people today. Brian explains that bluestone is great for preserving straw roofs, and he discusses the advantages and disadvantages of its use.

Paul Rouse - Sport in Modern Irish Life - PB - BRAND NEW ✓ In Stock

They are an attempt to record, in the round, at least some of the sheer variety of experiences avail­able in sport. And they are a reminder, too, that the wheel does not ever stop turning. About the Author Paul Rouse is professor of history at University College Dublin and writes a column on sport for the Irish Examiner, where he is also a ho
