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)

Journalists and science fiction writers love to speculate that soon we will not be eating food as we have known it for millennia, but only the encapsulated products of the 'farmaceutical' industry. What nonsense!

We monitor our streets to prevent assault and rodents to develop drugs, but not those for whom the drugs are intended. It took over half a century to begin to monitor blood sugar values in patients with insulin-dependent diabetes. Monitoring blood pressure is equally timely and technically feasible for individual home- and website-based personalised care. It also serves basic science and someday perhaps the management of societal illnesses.

Plant galls - the more we learn, the more there is to know! Approximately 15000 insect species ( c. 2% of all known insects) form galls, and this habit is extremely common over a range of floras and latitudes. Yet, there is still no general consensus on why they exist. Thistle-galling insects are relatively well known and are used as biological control agents (of thistles) and model ecological systems.
