"The Encyclopaedia of Ireland is the most comprehensive single-volume reference work ever published about Ireland. Meticulously detailed, it is a treasure store of information, education, entertainment, and enlightenment. It covers the entire spectrum of Irish achievement in all fields of human endeavour throughout recorded history." "The conventional subjects are all here: literature and language, history, geography, economics, sociology, the arts and music. But other subjects, often neglected in Irish reference books, are also given their due place, such as science, engineering, astronomy, and sport." "With more than 5,000 original articles written by 950 different contributors and over 700 illustrations, mainly in colour, The Encyclopaedia of Ireland is unique."--Jacket.
