Book Description
Cork, capital of the Rebel County, has enjoyed a long and illustrious history, and is unique among Ireland's cities in that it has experienced every phase of Irish urban development. It is a city of hills and bridges, churches and steeples, nestled around the two branches of the River Lee. Part One explores the history of Cork including its origins as an early Christian monastic centre; the creation of a Viking port and an Anglo-Norman walled town; its transformation through Georgian and Victorian times to the twentieth century and beyond. Part Two visits Cork's most interesting buildings and landmarks, including Shandon Church, Elizabeth Fort, St FinBarre's Cathedral, Red Abbey, SS Peter and Paul's Church, the Mardyke and Fitzgerald Park, Holy Trinity Church, and St Patrick's Hill. The first book of its kind on Cork, Discover Cork is a beautifully presented and detailed exploration of the history and geography of the city.

Book Description
The evolution of Cork city is traced through a wide-ranging series of texts, and through a rich tapestry of images, including photographs, archival material, satellite images, and artwork. * The atlas provides the reader with one of the most comprehensive collection of historic maps on Cork. * It brings together for the first time specialists from a wide range of disciplines (including geographers, historians, and archaeologists), who explore the city and its development over time. * Lavishly illustrated, the atlas offers the reader a timely and unique guide to Cork and its transformation. A unique project, marking Cork's designation as European Capital of Culture in 2005, the Atlas provides the reader with a range of perspectives on the city and its development over time. It is not an atlas in the conventional sense, as it is not solely reliant on maps, though there are many of these, both historical and specially commissioned for the volume. The initial chapters place the city in its environmental setting. Subsequent chapters trace its physical and cultural development over time. With over fifty contributors from a wide range of disciplines offering forty chapters and a fascinating series of case studies, the range is remarkable and the topics covered often surprising. Over 200 maps cover everything from geology, through evolving street patterns, to the distribution of Gaelic Athletic Association clubs. Given its significant maritime heritage, Cork has been shaped by both external and internal influences, and the cityscape bears the imprint of the various peoples who have lived and settled there. This is not just one story, but a myriad of stories, some better known than others, but all contributing to the making and remaking of the city--a city continually in transition. The atlas also provides its readers and planners with an opportunity to reflect in a more informed way on Cork's future development.
