This encyclopedia covers everything from our unique climate, through natural history, geography, biology, conservation and the problems caused by pollution. It brings the reader on a journey through a wide range of habitats and the creatures and plants that live there. This is such a comprehensive encyclopedia of the Irish seashore, the amount of information contained in both the text and also the illustrations is seriously impressive.
If you have ever casually wondered what lighthouse in Ireland is the most Easterly, or why lighthouses are not all painted the same colours and patterns, or even wondered if you could tell what lighthouse you are seeing at night as its beam of light crosses the horizon, you will find out in this wonderful encyclopedia.
You may think you have a good grip on the unusual historical moments and happenings in Irish history, but I’m willing to bet this book will prove you wrong! Rachel Pierce’s collection of bedtime stories based on Irish history is a complete joy and surprise from start to finish, with sixteen amazing tales through time - many of which I had never heard of before. A collection that has it all; stolen hearts and record breaking ships, groundbreaking women and a series of explosions, there is even a story that will change the way you look at the humble pigeon.
