The central theme of this monograph is James Joyce's employment of the Irish language in 'Finnegans Wake', the virtuosity with which he makes use of the tongue, the understanding of its grammatical and syntactical subtleties which he reveals in the book and "the explanatory treasure of heart and mind" , as the the author put it himself, which the Gaelic component of the writer's final word on the world provides.

Academic disciplines have remained largely committed to research methods and methodologies that hinge on simplistic binaries and problematic dichotomies. Despite this historical and contemporary trend in interdisciplinary research, there have been some notable advances in innovative approaches to method and methodology. With the recent growth in these advances, there is an increasing need for texts that document contemporary, innovative approaches to research.

Dr Nall's monograph uses a title that may seem familiar since it is a tribute to Val Plumwood’s classic ecofeminist work ,Feminism and the Mastery of Nature(Routledge). Nall, like Plumwood, explores the dominant Western discourse around gender and childbirth.

It also examines the relationship between conceptualizations of men and masculinity, culture and nature, and childbirth.

In today’s practices of urban design, the map acts as a documentary and design tool as well as a legal document. Its usefulness hinges on its perceived truthfulness and objectivity in the representation of reality. Yet this has not always and everywhere been the case. There was a time in Western and non-Western societies where the nature of the map and the acts of mapping were very different. This study traces this difference in an attempt to understand the process of change and its impact on the nature and quality of human settlements.
