Excerpt: Gerard "Gerry" Adams, MLA, MP (Irish: ; born 6 October 1948) is an Irish republican politician and abstentionist Westminster Member of Parliament for Belfast West. He is the president of Sinn Féin, the political party at the top of the latest Northern Ireland election polls amidst a three-way split in the traditionally dominant unionist vote. Sinn Féin is the second largest party in the Northern Ireland Assembly and fifth largest party in the Republic of Ireland. From the late 1980s onwards, Adams has been an important figure in the Northern Ireland peace process, initially following contact by the then Social Democra...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=38117 ...

Auszug: Als Irische Renaissance (engl.: Irish Renaissance, auch Irish Revival oder fälschlich Celtic Revival, Celtic Dawn usw.) wird eine Vielzahl von Bestrebungen, Bewegungen und einzelnen Personen zusammengefasst, die Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts und Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts im weitesten Sinne eine Wiedererweckung der irischen Identität und Kultur zum Ziel hatten. Nachdem 1607 (Flight of the Earls) die Reste des irischen Adels größtenteils außer Landes geflohen waren, besaß die traditionelle irisch-gälische Kultur und Kunst keine gesellschaftliche und politische Basis mehr. Die irischsprachige Literatur verflachte mit wenigen Ausnahmen rapide, Dichter und Sänger waren über Generationen arbeitslos und gehörten nun oft dem fahrenden Volk an. Nur in wenigen Familien wurde der traditionellen Aufgabe nachgegangen, alte kulturelle Traditionen zu pflegen, Manuskripte zu kopieren ode...http://booksllc.net/?l=de&id=725659 ... Read more

Excerpt: Sir William Rowan Hamilton (4 August 1805 2 September 1865) was an Irish physicist, astronomer, and mathematician, who made important contributions to classical mechanics, optics, and algebra. His studies of mechanical and optical systems led him to discover new mathematical concepts and techniques. His greatest contribution is perhaps the reformulation of Newtonian mechanics, now called Hamiltonian mechanics. This work has proven central to the modern study of classical field theories such as electromagnetism, and to the development of quantum mechanics. In mathematics, he is perhaps best known as the inventor of quaternions. Hamilton is said to have shown immense talent at a very early age, prompting astronomer Bishop Dr. John Brinkley to remark in 1823 of Hamilton at the age of eighteen: This young man, I do not say will be, but is, the first mathematician of his age. William Rowan Hamilton's scientific career included the study of geometrical optics, classical mechanics, adaptation of dynamic methods in optical systems, applying quaternion and vector methods to problems in mechanics and in geometry, development of theories of conjugate algebraic couple functions (in which complex numbers are constructed as ordered pairs of real numbers), solvability of polynomial equations and general quintic polynomial solvable by radicals, the analysis on Fluctuating Functions (and the ideas from Fourier analysis), linear operators on quaternions and proving a result for linear operators on the space of quaternions (which is a special case of the general theorem which today is known as the Cayley-Hamilton Theorem). Hamilton also invented "Icosian Calculus", which he used to investigate closed edge paths on a dodecahedron that visit each vertex exactly on... More: http://booksllc.net/?id=39817 ... Read more

November 1950 in Ayot Saint Lawrence) war ein irischer Dramatiker, Politiker, Satiriker und Musikkritiker, der 1925 den Nobelpreis für Literatur und 1939 den Oscar für das beste adaptierte Drehbuch erhielt. Shaw wuchs in Dublin in problematischen Familienverhältnissen auf. Als er sechzehn Jahre alt war, verließ seine Mutter die Familie und folgte ihrem Gesangslehrer nach London. Shaw blieb zunächst bei seinem Vater. Er arbeitete zuerst als kaufmännischer Angestellter, zog aber bald nach London, um als Musik- und Theaterkritiker Fuß zu fassen. Um seine Prosa zu entwickeln, schrieb er zwischen 1879 und 1883 fünf Romane, die von verschiedenen Verlagen zurückgewiesen wurden. Schließlich feierte er seine ersten Erfolge als Musikkritiker bei der Zeitung „Star", für die er meisterhaft ironische Kommentare schrieb. Die Kompositionen von Ethel Smyth beispielsweise besprach er unter dem Pseudon...http://booksllc.net/?l=de&id=55346 ... Read more
