Irish Art 1920-2020: Perspectives on change by Catherine Marshall and Yvonne Scott, is a generously-illustrated book in which eleven authors examine different aspects of Irish art through the hundred years or so since independence. During this time, art in Ireland has borne witness to unprecedented social and political transformation, and this book of essays considers how some of the established perspectives in Irish visual culture were challenged and represented during this time. Art in Ireland has been shaped by a range of factors - the country's geographic position, post-colonial history, political upheaval, religious environment - and of course the complex interconnections both within and beyond the country, prompted by shifting patterns within society - identities, migration, technology, for example - as well as the artists' evolving engagement with the wider world. This is not a linear story; each chapter explores a particular aspect of art, how it reflected the interests of artists, the environments in which they worked both in Ireland and abroad, and how subjects and methods changed over time. The extensive richness of the last century or so, as well as the diversity, creativity and originality of the artists means that no single text can ever be comprehensive, and this one makes no such claims. Rather, his book, however, is a kind of map; it does not pretend to fully represent the entire narrative but may provide some useful clues to negotiating parts of it, or at least the basis for further exploration and debate.

Catherine Marshall's story reveals the heartbreak and hope of foster parenting. Thirty-eight and newly married, Catherine yearned to be a mother and adoption seemed a viable option. The county's Foster-Adopt Program was affordable, so she and her new husband were confident they could adopt and parent two siblings. But nothing was as it seemed. The birth parents used intimidation and the court system to sabotage the adoption. The social services agency wavered in its support. Even the children, three-year old Jenny and six-year old Robert, were unaware of the ticking time bomb of genetics and early neglect that would detonate in their teens. Would the family survive intact? Would the marriage withstand the stress? Would the children overcome the same afflictions and addictions that had plagued their birth parents? The Easter Moose: One Family's Journey Adopting through Foster Care provides all parents, but particularly those adopting, fostering, or caring for children with challenges, the assurance they are not alone. Social workers, teachers, people who work in the family court system, and anyone who believes in nurture over nature will get a reality check. Ms. Marshall has written a riveting book that details her travails adopting two children. Social Services' numerous omissions of information, changes of biological parents rights, and failure to support the adoptive family's needs set the stage for a scary story that reads like fiction but, unfortunately, is not. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist specializing in adoption, I believe Ms. Marshall's book is unique but, unfortunately, the story of her adoption experience is not. The country's adoption policy is broken, wreaking havoc on many adoptive families. Kudos to Ms. Marshall for her relentless determination to defend her new family. -June Mikkelsen, licensed marriage and family therapist specializing in adoption Catherine Marshall's openhearted and honest account of foster parent adoption is the first authentic report of the truth behind our broken foster care system, which fails young children most in need of parenting. Catherine tells her own story of the doubts, risks, and hopes that go into adoption of troubled foster children, and the morning-after realization of taking on so much more than she ever imagined. Her fair-minded report of her fight for her children's future somehow comforts my wife, Annie, and me in our frustration and grief at this system that stripped our foster daughter of her best chance for a good life. -Bill Baker, former foster parent I was captivated by Catherine's story. It should be required reading for all prospective parents of foster kids. My own experience was similar. I expected that giving a child a loving, stable environment would ensure she would become a happy adult. Not so. It's much more complicated than that. -Alice Bonner, former foster parent

Developments over the last twenty years have fueled considerable speculation about the future of the book and of reading itself. This book begins with a gloss over the history of electronic books, including the social and technical forces that have shaped their development. The focus then shifts to reading and how we interact with what we read: basic issues such as legibility, annotation, and navigation are examined as aspects of reading that ebooks inherit from their print legacy. Because reading is fundamentally communicative, I also take a closer look at the sociality of reading: how we read in a group and how we share what we read. Studies of reading and ebook use are integrated throughout the book, but Chapter 5 "e;goes meta"e; to explore how a researcher might go about designing his or her own reading-related studies. No book about ebooks is complete without an explicit discussion of content preparation, i.e., how the electronic book is written. Hence, Chapter 6 delves into the underlying representation of ebooks and efforts to create and apply markup standards to them. This chapter also examines how print genres have made the journey to digital and how some emerging digital genres might be realized as ebooks. Finally, Chapter 7 discusses some beyond-the-book functionality: how can ebook platforms be transformed into portable personal libraries? In the end, my hope is that by the time the reader reaches the end of this book, he or she will feel equipped to perform the next set of studies, write the next set of articles, invent new ebook functionality, or simply engage in a heated argument with the stranger in seat 17C about the future of reading.
