This success was achieved despite tough trading conditions with sales in the Irish book trade down by 16 per cent. For the first time, a number of CUP patrons were appointed to enhance the profile of the press. They are Brian McCarthy, Executive Chairman, Fexco (Chairman of Cork University Foundation Board), Alan Crosbie, TCH Holdings and Lord David Puttnam. Professor Grace Neville, Vice President for Teaching and Learning, took over as chair of the publications committee from Professor Dermot Keogh. 19 new CUP titles were published in 2009/2010 including: JG Farrell in His Own Words: Selected Letters and Diaries edited by Lavinia Greacen. The late JG Farrell made the news by winning the Lost Man Booker Prize in 2010. RTE plan to use the book as a basis of a radio documentary on JG Farrell and the last days of his life, spent in West Cork. Going to the Well for Water: The Seamus Ennis Field Diary 1942-1946 edited by Ríonach uí Ógáin. Cathal Goan, Director General of RTÉ, who officially launched the book, said that that this was more than a book because it was an important piece of primary research. The book went on to sell out in hardback and has been republished as a paperback edition. Aloys Fleischmann (1880-1964): Immigrant Musician in Ireland was published as part of the wider centenary celebrations of his son Aloys Fleischmann, Professor of Music, UCC. The book was launched by Niall Toibin, who was also conferred with an honorary degree by the university this year. Gold, Silver and Green: The Irish Olympic Journey, 1896-1924 was published to great acclaim by former UCC PhD student Kevin McCarthy. Bill Mallon, the world’s foremost expert on Olympic history, said “This is a remarkable book. It looks at Irish athletes in the Olympic Games from 1896-1954, during most of which time Ireland did not exist as an independent state.” Unlikely Radicals: Irish Post-Primary Teachers and the ASTI, 1909-2009 was published to celebrate the centenary of ASTI. The Poetry of Medbh McGuckian edited by Shane Alcobia- Murphy and Richard Kirkland is the first collection of essays solely dedicated to the achievement of this remarkable Irish poet.
Foreword UCC at a Glance Academic Developments Teaching and Learning Research College Reports: Arts, Celtic Studies and Social Sciences Business and Law Medicine and Health Science, Engineering and Food Science Events Student Experience Sports and Recreation Buildings and Estates Cork University Press Finance Governing Body IRIS Appendix 77 Out of the Earth: Ecocritical Readings of Irish Texts edited by Christine Cusick was published in response to the growing interest in Ecocritism. After the Irish: an Anthology of Poetic Translation edited by Gregory A. Schirmer demonstrates that verse translation from the Irish represents, in its own right, a significant part of the tradition of Irish poetry written in English. Revolution in Ireland: Popular Militancy, 1917 to 1923 by Conor Kostick was republished as a second edition. Nine general interest titles were published: A Quiet Man Miscellany by UCC’s Des MacHale. Eat Good Things Everyday by Carmel Somers from the Good Things Café in West Cork. Truly Tasty: over 100 special recipes created by Ireland’s top chefs for adults living with kidney disease. Each recipe has been expertly analysed by dieticians from the Irish Nutrition and Dietetic Institute, ensuring that it can be easily incorporated into the renal diet. The Compassionate Intentions of Illness and Relationship, Relationship, Relationship: The Heart of a Mature Society by Helen Ruddle and Tony Humphreys, who is one of Ireland’s leading psychologists. Flown the Nest by Hanna Greally. It was assumed that this manuscript was irretrievably lost and its discovery in 2008 was astonishing, not least given the renewed interest in the author arising from the republication of Hanna’s earlier work, Bird’s Nest Soup. Sisters: the Personal Story of an Irish Feminist (new edition) by the late June Levine. A Woman to Blame: the Kerry Babies Case (new edition) by Nell McCafferty. Gardening with Peter Dowdall: the Importance of the Natural World was Cork University Press’s first gardening title. It also tells the story of Peter’s ten-year battle with cancer and the strength he drew from nature to help in his recovery.
