Book Synopsis The Hook Peninsula, County Wexford by : Billy Colfer

Download or read book The Hook Peninsula, County Wexford written by Billy Colfer. This book was released on 2004. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Hook Peninsula continues the Irish Rural Landscape series, building on the research agenda established by the internationally successful Atlas of the Irish Rural Landscape. Located in county Wexford, this region was the first to be conquered by the Anglo-Normans and its landscape was shaped by the establishment of two Cistercian abbeys (Tintern and Dunbrody) in the Middle Ages. The location of the peninsula beside a major estuary and busy shipping lanes was of vital importance. The Hook figured prominently in the Confederate Wars in the seventeenth century and in the 1798 rebellion." "This compact and highly distinctive peninsula makes for a compelling case-study in which Billy Colfer carefully knits the local story into a wider narrative. An eye for detail and an intuitive understanding of his local community creates a vivid story, while Colfer's obvious love for the Hook infuses the volume with an underlying passion all the more moving for being understated. Ireland, 'an island nation', has at last a volume informed by a maritime perspective from a writer who understands the sea and its formative influence on landscapes and lives. In these beautiful pages, an astonishing array of maps, photographs, paintings, archive sketches and new drawings ensure that the Hook landscape is given a radiant treatment."--BOOK JACKET.

Book excerpt: Waterford harbour has centuries of tradition based on its extensive fishery and maritime trade. Steeped in history, customs and an enviable spirit, it was there that Andrew Doherty was born and raised amongst a treasure chest of stories spun by the fishermen, sailors and their families. As an adult he began to research these accounts and, to his surprise, found many were based on fact. In this book, Doherty will take you on a fascinating journey along the harbour, introduce you to some of its most important sites and people, the area's history, and some of its most fantastic tales. Dreaded press gangs who raided whole communities for crew, the search for buried gold and a ship seized by pirates, the horror of a German bombing of the rural idyll during the Second World War – on every page of this incredible account you will learn something of the maritime community of Waterford Harbour.

Book Synopsis Hook by : Delilah Devlin

Real Adventures... See what happens when a one-armed bounty hunter falls for the last person on earth that he should... Former Army Ranger, Dylan "Hook" Hoecker, has a new job along with a new prosthetic arm. Being a bounty hunter is the closest career field he could find as a civilian that gives him the adrenaline rush that is his addiction. So, when his first solo assignment is to keep an eye on a flight risk the boss bonded out of jail, he's not thrilled. However, he soon discovers a fresh addiction--one mouthy, nerdy redhead, who resists his attempts to keep her out of trouble. Felicity Gronkowski is grateful for the bone the head of Montana Bounty Hunter threw her. She didn't have the money to pay for bail, but he has a soft spot for former military, and she bartered to install a new computer system in his satellite office in Bear Lodge. Being on the outside of jail was her first imperative because she has to figure out who framed her for a series of high-end robberies while she worked installing home security systems. However, her bounty-hunting babysitter isn't giving her any slack. Every time she thinks she's given him the slip, he's one step ahead of her. Either she has to find the perfect method of distraction to escape him or she has to enlist his help to clear her name.

Book Synopsis The Ballad of Ol' Hook by : Tom Townsend

Download or read book The Ballad of Ol' Hook written by Tom Townsend. This book was released on 2006-05-15. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ol' Hook never did have much use for humans, coyotes, or horses. Coyotes killed his mother. Horses chased him. Humans took away his freedom, his only friend, and cut his off his horns. So when they hauled him to a rodeo and made him a bucking bull, Ol' Hook figured it time to get even. The Ballad of Ol' Hook is the story of a rodeo bull, a girl from east Texas who immortalizes him in song, and a wild young cowboy who must ride him at the moment when everything including his life hangs in the balance. Author Tom Townsend has done it again; created characters we care about, and a story we don't want to end.
