Dublin, a Celebration, From the 1st to the 21st Century, with over 1000 illustrations and photographs, many from the author's own hand.

This book is a totally fresh and ambitious look at one of the world's great capital cities from the earliest days right up to the present and into the future.

Relive the unique and often troubled but never boring history of Dublin through its buildings, archaeology, institutions and people and admire the scenery and surprises of the stunningly beautiful hinterland of sea, mountains and outlying villages.

Experience the city's current and unprecedented revitalisation, restoration and dynamic expansion. Dublin A Celebration is lavishly illustrated with over 1000 drawings, watercolours and full colour photographs, many from the author's own hand, in addition to old maps and prints.

This is an important and timely work on a city rediscovering itself while also changing faster than ever before in its long and distinguished history. Dublin A Celebration will become an indispensable reference work for generations to come.
