‘Liveline’ win for ‘Atlas of the Irish Revolution’
As well as topping the pile from among the category winners of the Bord Gáis Energy Irish Book Awards, the Cork University Press publication also scooped Book of the Year in a listener’s poll on RTÉ’s Liveline radio programme.
The 900-page treatment of events in Ireland from 1913 to 1923 was a collaboration between editors from University College Cork’s geography and history departments, bringing new dimensions to the Irish revolutionary period. Their 100-plus contributors revisited old topics and addressed new themes in scholarly articles written for non-academic readers, enhanced by more than 300 maps that add a whole new way of looking at the events of a century ago.
