The Way That I Went: An Irishman in Ireland

Rating:
Summary: Not Just for School Nurses!
Review: I am an ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) teacher and have found this book to be so instrumental. It gives not only key health and safety phrases, but also vocabulary and explanations. It's not a time-worn, standard, cliched text, but a sensitive approach to health issues. Our students have a high trust level with us as their teachers and fear and distrust people they don't know and who don't know them. Plus, there is the translation issue when the medical personnel do not speak Spanish. Therefore, we are usually at the forefront of health issues.

Summary: A must-read for travellers in Ireland.
Review: I'm ordering an extra copy of this book for my Irish house; it walks away with visitors, I think. It's a wonderful wander through a colorful land which, in a way, persists behind the modern clutter, the wide roads and narrow minds that have replaced the old ways. I'll carry it with me as I drive down to Roundstone, up to Sligo, amethyst mining on Achill ... the stones, plants, birds and other charms of Ireland are merrily visited, and it gives another dimension to one's explorations.
