Ancient Ireland: An Explorer's Guide (Travel)

Meagher (humanities, Hampshire College, Massachusetts) and Neave (Plainville Community Schools, Connecticut) look past the thatched roofs and clay pipes, past Patrick and the saints, past the Celts, to Ireland of the Neolithic, Bronze, and early Iron Ages. They suggest how to plan, execute, and appreciate a tour of the oldest surviving structures, then set out three itineraries each focusing on a particular time period. In addition to the usual information, advice, maps, and color photographs, they identify activities for children. They do not provide an index.
