The Irish Country House
A unique presentation of Irish country house interiors, combining well-preserved historic estates with adventurous contemporary restorations, celebrating some of the most characterful houses in Ireland. Forgoing the criteria of stateliness and opulence, this book is an exploration of the most captivating and unusual interiors in Ireland. Whether in the transformation of a derelict estate, the preservation of an historic hunting lodge, or the re-creation of a Gothic fantasy, each of the homes in this extraordinary book reflects a renewed vitality in the contemporary approach to Irish country houses. Rich in detail and varied in scope, the houses reveal a refreshing dynamism in their decoration by equally diverse owners--from the ornate refurbishment of a castle by a Mexican financier to the bold palette of a contemporary artist's renovation to an Elizabethan Revival house. The sparse interiors of a mansion in Westmeath reflect its painstaking restoration by descendants of the original owners, and at Coollattin--Ireland's largest country house, part restored, part still in disrepair--the building's baroque splendor is amplified by its raw, unfinished state. Accompanying photography of the houses made specially for the book, the author guides readers through fifteen exceptional spaces, elucidating the remarkable aspects of each--and in doing so celebrates the unexpected eclecticism and reinvigorated spirit of Ireland's historic interiors.

Stone Tongued
"We counted all the none-witches. The waterlogged womenparcelled in their tiny, tidy, Christian graves." Witches are woven throughout the book, alongside warriors, rebels, sex workers, goddesses, and everyday individuals. The phrase 'Stone Tongued' emerges in the first poem, where accused witches are declared innocent and tucked away in graves paid for by the Crown. Sulis reads through curse tablets in her temple, Johanna Ferrour remembers the Peasants' Revolt from her kitchen, and Mary Jones throws her dinner in the face of the workhouse headmaster when he tries to silence her. Brought together to create a coven of powerful and sometimes violent women, these poems show that power might be hidden, but not forgotten. "We arrived in this world screaming for revenge." These voices are not new. They are simply tired of being spoken over. Stored in the depths of the Shrewsbury Museum, is a metal contraption designed to silence. There are records of the people it was used on, including the women who were subjected to it purely for opening their mouths to speak. Mary Jones is forgotten almost entirely from history, but we find her among those punished for the crime of speaking during meals at the Oswestry House of Industry. The headmaster punished her with the scold's bridle, and she responded by throwing her food at him.All we know of Aspasia is what is written on her gravestone, uncovered from the Roman ruins in Shropshire. Queen Amanirenas who was Queen of Kush during the early years of the Roman Empire fought back, led armies, lost an eye, a husband, and a son, yet is mysteriously absent from articles on the Mero禱 Head. A head she brought back to Mero禱, and buried beneath the temple in an act of defiance.Cartiumandua reigned in her own right, Julie d'Aubigny infiltrated a nunnery to rescue her lover, Grace Clifford painted a masterpiece on the wall of her prison cell.Other woman sank quietly as the air left their lungs, accusations of witchcraft dragging them into the water.Stone Tongued holds the voices of a few who were forgotten, overlooked, or written out of history. It is both remembrance and protest.

Gates of Dominion
There is a fallacy in society that the clergy are better off concentrating on spiritual matters and should leave the management of the nation and wealth to secular people.In this book, Dr. Kithaka paints the picture of a nation where the clergy is hands-on in the running of the development agenda, distribution of wealth and in particular having a reckonable voice in decision-making. Empowering Levites with entrepreneurship skills will ensure that the voice of the church can be heard from the spheres of influence and thatreal accomplishment will occur towards dominion.Through a very elaborate and systematic approach, Dr. Kithaka takes us through the gates of influence as a practical road map towards dominion, and the way to significantly usher Levites into the market place.
