This collection of 24 papers aims to reconsider the nature and significance of the Irish Sea as an area of cultural interaction during the Neolithic period. The traditional character of work across this region has emphasised the existence of prehistoric contact, with sea routes criss-crossing between Ireland, the Isle of Man, Anglesey and the British mainland. A parallel course of investigation, however, has demonstrated that the British and Irish Neolithics were in many ways different, with distinct indigenous patterns of activity and social practices. The recent emphasis on regional studies has further produced evidence for parallel yet different processes of cultural change taking place throughout the British Isles as a whole. This volume brings together some of these regional perspectives and compares them across the Irish Sea area. The authors consider new ways to explain regional patterning in the use of material objects and relate them to past practices and social strategies. Were there practices that were shared across the Irish Sea area linking different styles of monuments and material culture, or were the media intrinsic to the message? The volume is based on papers presented at a conference held at the University of Manchester in 2002.

David Brett, a historian of architecture and heritage, has written A Book About the Irish Sea, which is a history of the people who live around the coastline of the Irish Sea. He argues that 19th century concepts of nations and nationalism can get in the wya of the real story of what has happened around the sea in the last 7,500 years. He concludes that rather than dividing people, the sea has acted as a focus of exchange and interaction, a bridge rather than a barrier

Whether humans crossed the seas between the Old World and the New in the times before Columbus is a tantalizing question that has long excited scholarly interest and tempted imaginations the world over. From the myths of Atlantis and Mu to the more credible, perhaps, but hardly less romantic tales of Viking ships and Buddhist missionaries, people have speculated upon what is, after all, not simply a question of contact, but of the nature and growth of civilization itself. To the specialist, it is an important question indeed. If people in the Western Hemisphere and in the Eastern Hemisphere developed their cultures more or less independently from the end of the last Ice Age until the voyages of Columbus, the remarkable similarities between New World and Old World cultures reveal something important about the evolution of culture. If, on the other hand, there were widespread or sustained contacts between the hemispheres in pre-Columbian times, these contacts represent events of vast significance to the prehistory and history of humanity. Originally delivered at a symposium held in May 1968, during the national meeting of the Society for American Archaeology, the papers presented here, by scholars eminent in the field, offer differing points of view and considerable evidence on the pros and cons of pre-Columbian contact between the Old World and the New. Various kinds of data—archaeological, botanical, geographical, and historical—are brought to bear on the problem, with provocative and original results. Introductory and concluding remarks by the editors pull together and evaluate the evidence and suggest ground rules for future studies of this sort. Man across the Sea provides no final answers as to whether people from Asia, Africa, or Europe visited the American Indian before Columbus. It does, however, present new evidence, suggested lines of approach, and a fresh attempt to delineate the problems involved and to establish acceptable canons of evidence for the future.

Emmet O'Quinn, second born son of the O'Quinn sons is known far and wide as a playboy. After some shocking news, he knows he needs to put that behavior behind him if he has any chance at a bright, though scary, future. Happy with how he has been able to abstain, he starts to become more and more comfortable with his new identity. That is, until someone from his past shows up out of the blue and long buried feelings begin to surface. Mara McGrath is running from someone in her past and time is running out. She left London for her home in Ireland only to realize the threat is still near. Pursuing her singing career, she accepts a position in the south of Ireland but a chance meeting with Emmet O'Quinn, her sister's ex-fiancé, stirs feelings she believes she has no right to have. Ever since she was a little girl, Emmet was the unattainable idea of a man. When he and her sister broke up, her ideal persona of what a man was supposed to be was shattered, that is until she was faced with true evil. Can she give in to the feelings surrounding her and put his life in danger? Can she trust her new-found freedom and life to a man who hurt her big sister? One thing is certain, she never expected her life to begin anew when she went across the Irish Sea.
