SUMMARY:Dr Ian Miller A History Of Ireland in Ten Body Parts - Book Launch
DESCRIPTION:  \n \nJoin us for an Evening with Dr Ian Miller to celebrate the launch of \n“A History of Ireland in Ten Body Parts” \nIan will be introduced by Dr Máirtín Mac Con Iomaire. \nSkulls\, heads\, hands\, height\, legs\, sex organs\, blood\, brains\, stomachs\, ears and corpses – discover Irish history through the prism of the body. From the brutal beheading of the 25-year-old\, red-headed Clonycavan Man some 2\,000 years ago\, and the rich vein of information that has been preserved in his ‘bog body’\, to the ancient skulls stolen from islands off Ireland’s west coast believed to be those of giants – here medical historian Dr Ian Miller brings readers on a uniquely entertaining journey through Irish history. \nEncounter the famous scribes\, including St Patrick\, who preserved our knowledge of ancient Ireland by hand. Discover the fears of excessive tea drinking that were once such a great cause for concern on this isle. Meet the doctors who revolutionised Irish medicine in the 19th century – along with the gruesome bodysnatching that accompanied it. Here\, fact and folklore intertwine to take you on a fascinating journey through Irish history as you’ve never experienced it before. \n \nDr Ian Miller is Lecturer in Medical History at Ulster University\, Northern Ireland. Ian is author of six medical history books on topics including the force-feeding of hunger strikers and how the Irish diet changed after the Irish Famine. His work has featured in several BBC and RTÉ radio shows\, and on Disney Plus. \nMáirtín Mac Con Iomaire is an Irish lecturer and professional chef. He was awarded Ireland’s first PhD on food history\, in October 2009. \nThis is a FREE event. \nReserve your place here

SUMMARY:Ghosts of a Family by Edward Burke - Book Launch
DESCRIPTION:Ghosts of a Family : Ireland’s Most Infamous Unsolved Murder\, the Outbreak of the Civil War and the Origins of the Modern Troubles\nBy Edward Burke\n \nPlease RSVP to \ninfo@merrionpress.ie \nAt 1.20 a.m. on 24 March 1922\, five men\, four dressed in British police uniforms\, broke into the North Belfast house of Owen McMahon\, a well-known Catholic publican. They fatally shot McMahon\, four of his sons and Eddie McKinney\, an employee of the family. Nobody was ever charged for these ruthless and cold-blooded murders. \nIn retaliation for these and other Belfast murders\, the IRA assassinated the former head of the British Army\, Field Marshal Sir Henry Wilson\, and a subsequent British ultimatum to the Irish government sparked the first salvos of the Irish Civil War days later. The reluctance of the unionist Belfast government to pursue loyalist killers drove the rift between Northern Ireland’s two main communities even deeper\, laying the foundations for the Troubles at the end of the twentieth century. \nOver 100 years later\, Edward Burke has expertly uncovered the identity of the McMahons’ likely murderer. This is a riveting cold-case investigation that invokes the smoke-filled streets of Belfast during the cataclysmic violence of 1920–22\, and explores how the ramifications of the McMahon killings are still being felt to this day. \n\nABOUT THE AUTHOR\nDr Edward Burke is a historian at University College Dublin\, specialising in the study of political violence\, insurgencies and paramilitarism. His previous books are An Army of Tribes: British Army Cohesion\, Deviancy and Murder in Northern Ireland (Liverpool\, 2018) and Ulster’s Lost Counties: Loyalism and Paramilitarism since 1920 (Cambridge\, 2024). \n
