This is the story of life in Ireland – a story half a billion years in the making, from the first fossils to the present day.

Ireland's favourite force of nature, Eanna Ni Lamhna, is on a mission to open our hearts and minds to our wonderful, wild world - to help us find the balance between our needs and the future of our precious planet.

New and updated edition of Ireland's bestselling wildflower guide.

The first photographic identification guide to the birds of Ireland in an easy, quick reference format. The key identification features of each bird are shown, with concise descriptions and pointers to indicate important features. This field guide is endorsed by BirdWatch Ireland, Ireland's leading bird conservation organisation.

Ireland was once so heavily wooded it was said a squirrel could travel from Cork to Killarney without touching the ground.

In ancient Ireland there were 365 different body parts, and a different plant to cure each part. So Ireland’s wild plants have been part of our culture and folklore from the earliest times, featuring in the Brehon Laws, early Irish poetry and herbal medicine.
