Beschreibung

Industrial Ireland: A Practical and Non-Political View of Ireland for the Irish is a book written by Robert Dennis in 1887. The book is a comprehensive examination of Ireland's industrial landscape, with a focus on providing practical advice for Irish citizens looking to improve their economic prospects. Dennis's analysis covers a wide range of topics, including the country's natural resources, transportation infrastructure, and labor market.Unlike many other books on Ireland at the time, Industrial Ireland takes a non-political approach to its subject matter. Instead of focusing on the political issues of the day, Dennis aims to provide practical guidance to Irish workers and entrepreneurs. The book offers advice on everything from starting a business to investing in land, and includes detailed descriptions of the various industries that were thriving in Ireland at the time.Despite its non-political tone, Industrial Ireland does touch on some of the political issues that were affecting the country at the time. Dennis is critical of the British government's policies towards Ireland, and argues that the country's economic woes are largely the result of British interference. However, he also acknowledges that there are many opportunities for Irish citizens to improve their economic situation, and encourages readers to take advantage of these opportunities.Overall, Industrial Ireland is a fascinating look at Ireland's industrial landscape in the late 19th century. Its practical advice and non-political tone make it a valuable resource for anyone interested in the economic history of Ireland.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Autor

Robert Dennis was born in the mid-1930s in Nashville, Tennessee, and spent his early childhood on his grandfather's farm in Kingston Springs. His formative years were marked by a return to Nashville when his father, who had been working at the Workshop for the blind, was called back to his position. The family settled on Park Avenue to be within walking distance of his workplace. Dennis recalls vivid memories from those years, including playful afternoons with his brother Russell and a hatchet in hand during a rainstorm, near a well closed at the back porch. These early experiences-rooted in rural life, family closeness, and quiet observation-shaped his perspective. Writing with reflection and simplicity, Dennis brings his past to life with sincerity, offering readers a glimpse into a world shaped by resilience, memory, and the rhythms of mid-20th-century Tennessee life.
