It's always a good day when you come home to find a new book, but this one is something special!
Looking forward to getting stuck into this by the great Colmán Etchingham, who has contributed so much to our understanding of early medieval Ireland. It looks like a fitting testament to his work.

Human Geography at Leicester is facing closure. Staff contracts are to end in June 2026; students are to be relocated to other universities, or taught out by a maximum of two (!) teaching-only staff. Other departments and subjects are facing closure, too. Please join the demo!
