A unique insight into the morphology of the seabed along the continental margin of the North-East Atlantic, it reveals for the first time many features that have hitherto been hidden beneath the waves. It is organised both thematically and by region, with the sea floor and its biological hotspots - areas of high biodiversity such as seamounts - shown at a resolution not possible before. The atlas presents everything from submarine canyons to coral carbonate mounds, using digital terrain models generated from multibeam data and photographs taken from unmanned deep-water vehicles (ROVs).

Free Download Northern Ireland and the Crisis of Anti-Racism: Rethinking Racism and Sectarianism By Chris Gilligan
2017 | 241 Pages | ISBN: 0719086531 | PDF | 2 MB
Racism and sectarianism makes an important contribution to the discussion on the 'crisis of anti-racism' in the United Kingdom. The book looks at two phenomena that are rarely examined together - racism and sectarianism. The author argues that thinking critically about sectarianism and other racisms in Northern Ireland helps to clear up some confusions regarding 'race' and ethnicity. Many of the prominent themes in debates on racism and anti-racism in the UK today - the role of religion, racism and 'terrorism', community cohesion - were central to discussions on sectarianism in Northern Ireland during the conflict and peace process. The book provides a sustained critique of the Race Relations paradigm that dominates official anti-racism and sketches out some elements of an emancipatory anti-racism.Review'Chris Gilligan has taken up the brave challenge of renewing the emancipatory potential of anti-racism as we would have seen it in the 1970s. For too long it has been covered by the dull blanket of conformist "official" anti-racism which has badly let down ethnic minority populations. He does something practically unique, bringing Northern Ireland's sectarianism debates into the new race critical debates. A must read for students and activists alike.' Rolando Munck, Dublin City University, author of Marx 2020: After the crisis 'This is a book of superb quality, and immeasurable, timely importance. Sectarianism and racism, Gilligan argues, prevent humanity from being fully human. With this book, Gilligan makes a powerful contribution not only to scholarship, but towards the battle against prejudice itself.' Katie Hayward, Queen's University Belfast, author of Irish nationalism and European integration 'One of Chris Gilligan's main targets is the simplistic and almost Manichean distinction between "good" anti-racism and "evil" racism. In pursuit of analysing the interplay between the two forces he adds to the complexity by looking at the supposed unique case of Northern Ireland. Here a traditional and seemingly archaic phenomenon of sectarianism has been joined by a supposedly recent discovery of racism in the midst of a peace process. The happy coexistence of sectarianism and racism in the "new" Northern Ireland allows for an intriguing and informative insight into how racism and anti-racism relate to each other in contemporary society.' Bill Rolston, Emeritus Professor Ulster University, former director of the Transitional Justice Institute, Northern Ireland, author of How racism came to Ireland "This is a thoughtful and challenging study of the role of race and race politics in the modern state, offering support (although I'm not sure the author would see it this way) for the view that it is necessary to go beyond "antiracism," which represents political emancipation, to the abolition of race and private property itself, which would represent human emancipation." Noel Ignatiev, Massachusetts College of Art and Design, author of How the Irish Became WhiteAbout the AuthorChris Gilligan is a founding member of Open Borders Scotland. He has lectured at a number of universities in the UK, including Aston University; Edinburgh University; Salford University, the University of Ulster and the University of the West of Scotland

The search for stability proved elusive. Nationalist Ireland mobilized a mass democratic movement under O'Connell to secure Catholic Emancipation before seeing its world transformed by the social cataclysm of the Great Famine. At the same time, the Protestant north-east of Ulster was feeling the first benefits of the Industrial Revolution. Although post-Famine Ireland modernized rapidly, only the north-east had a modern economy. The mixture of Protestantism and manufacturing industry integrated into the greater United Kingdom and gave a new twist to the traditional Irish Protestant hostility to Catholic political demands. In the home rule period from the 1880s to 1914, the prospect of partition moved from being almost unthinkable to being almost inevitable. Nineteenth-century Ireland collapsed in the various wars and rebellions of 1912-22. Like many other parts of Europe than and since, it had proved that an imperial superstructure can contain domestic ethnic rivalries, but cannot always eliminate them. "a substantial and thoroughly crafted study of a very complex period. His virtues as a historian predominate: clarity of thought and style, and a mastery of the telling quotation, which penetrates to the heart of the matter."-The Irish Times.
