Charlotte Elizabeth Tonna(1790-1846) is remembered for her religious tracts and her commentaries on Industrial Britain, but her writings on Ireland of the 1820s to the 1840s have largely been neglected. Her Irish reflections cover a range of topics from agrarian violence, landlordism, Daniel O' Connell, Catholic Emancipation, tithes, restrictions on the Church of Ireland in the 1830s, to national schools, the Irish Poor Law, Father Matthew, Repeal, the Orange Order, the Irish language, and, of course, the necessity of converting Irish Catholics.

This two-volume work is an edited version of O’Grady’s great achievements: “History of Ireland: The Heroic Period,” “History of Ireland: Cuculain and His Contemporaries” and “A History of Ireland: Critical and Philosophical.” Professor McNamara has edited the works not only in order to provide the scholarly reader with insights into O’Grady’s subjects and methods but also to help restore the luster due to the progenitor of the Irish Revival (in the opinion of W.B. Yeats and many others).

This work is an historical discussion and new translation of one of the key works of medicine of the English renaissance.

Professor McBroom argues that the events of the Holocaust do not require special, unique or extreme explanations. Rather the behavior of victims, perpetrators, and bystanders can be understood and explained by established principles of social science. As such, events like those of the Holocaust are natural phenomena and have not only occurred in instances other than the “final solution,’ but can happen any time that certain relatively few conditions are present.

The French of Algeria, as they are commonly called today, remain a distinct yet waning subculture. Aspects of their lives continue to provide fertile ground for the media, including, most recently a widely published discussion of the use of torture and murder by French generals during the Algerian War (1955-1962). Publications continue to proliferate on all aspects and from all sides of the French Algerian experience as the time passed permits unprecedented examination of this controversial period in history from 1830 when European colonization began until today.

The religion of the Aztecs boasted a god of espionage –an unusual deity in any other new world religion. The Aztecs were brilliant soldiers and administrators and viewed espionage and intelligence gathering as a key to domination. The successor regimes to the Aztecs also created elaborate and successful entities for political and spiritual control: this monograph discusses the efforts of the Hapsburg and Bourbon administrations to exact information (as well as gold and silver) on a wide scale.
