Gerard Moran, "The History of the Irish Famine: The Exodus: Emigration and the Great Irish Famine"
English | ISBN: 1138200972 | 2018 | 320 pages | PDF | 2 MB
The Great Irish Famine remains one of the most lethal famines in modern world history and a watershed moment in the development of modern Ireland - socially, politically, demographically and culturally. In the space of only four years, Ireland lost twenty-five per cent of its population as a consequence of starvation, disease and large-scale emigration. Certain aspects of the Famine remain contested and controversial, for example the issue of the British government's culpability, proselytism, and the reception of emigrants. However, recent historiographical focus on this famine has overshadowed the impact of other periods of subsistence crisis, both before 1845 and after 1852.

English | Jun 3, 2021 | ISBN: 1350142107 | 312 pages | PDF | 5 MB
Over the decades since he was first hailed by critics and filmmakers around the world, Sergei Eisenstein has assumed many identities. Originally cast as a prophet of revolution and the maestro of montage, and later seen as both a victim of and apologist for Stalin's tyranny, the scale and impact of Eisenstein's legacy has continued to grow. If early research on Eisenstein focused on his directorial work - from the legendary Battleship Potemkin and October to the still-controversial Ivan the Terrible - with time scholars have discovered many other aspects of his multifarious output.
