The book deals diachronically with Irish crime fiction, from the picaresque of the 17th century up to the late 1990s when the «Emerald Noir» boom began. Irish writers, often without due recognition, have been instrumental in the development of the genre on an international level, and figures such as Le Fanu, Meade, Childers, Wills Crofts have been responsible for many of the innovations in crime fiction which have later become standard. This book examines Irish crime writing in its widest sense, from the detective mystery to the spy thriller, and seeks to vindicate the relevance of the Irish contribution to the field of crime fiction as well as stressing the importance of crime writing within the field of Irish Studies. This work traces Irish crime fiction from the early appropriation of the picaresque, which would gain resonance throughout Europe, through the gothic, the early detective tale, to the Irish contribution to the Golden Age mystery, to Irish hard-boiled pulp and inner-city police procedurals in which crimes committed by Irish criminals are investigated by Irish agents of detection.

The most common type of horseshoe crab has the scientific classification of Limulus polyphemus . The head and thorax of the horseshoe crab are fused together to make the cephalothorax. The body is covered with a hard, thick shell. The abdomen is protected by a narrow shell that is hinged from the main shell at the front and ends in a long, sharp spine. "The animal has a large compound eye on each side of the cephalothorax, two pairs of smaller, simple eyes between the compound eyes, and five light-receptive organs beneath the shell."(1) Its mouth is located in the middle of the underside of the cephalothorax. A pair of pincers (chelicerae) for seizing food are found on each side of the mouth. The horseshoe crab has six pairs of walking legs. "The underside of the abdomen bears six additional pairs of appendages; the first covers the genital opening, the other five are modified as gills."(2) It feeds on small invertebrates that are buried beneath sand or mud. "In late spring the female lays eggs in the intertidal zone of bays and estuaries." (3)

Agriculture in Britain has become the focus of international attention in recent years. Many have questioned the changes that have occurred in the industry, and the typical assumption is that agriculture has become increasingly unsustainable and remote form consumers. The contribution of agricultural research to all of this is also being dissected: after all, who is supposed to benefit?

Scabies ('Itch Mite') is truly a Great Neglected Disease that inflicts misery on millions. Molecular approaches, while still in their infancy, are providing a better understanding of the parasite and will have important implications for control and prevention. It has long been thought that dogs may act as a reservoir for human infections. However, genetic studies cast doubt over this supposition.

Toxoplasma gondii is a protozoan parasite that causes the disease toxoplasmosis. It is a very common parasitic infection in humans and other warm-blooded animals, with approximately a third of the world’s human population estimated to have been exposed to the parasite. Toxoplasmosis can be asymptomatic (no clinical symptoms) or can have more severe consequences such as congenital birth defects, eye disease, or potentially fatal toxoplasmic encephalitis in immunocompromised individuals.
