Im Flur standen drei Mann. Der erste war Mike Polchinski – gestraffte Backenknochen, fest zusammengepresste Lippen, harte, blaue Augen mit einem kalten, finsteren Blick. Der zweite war ein uniformierter Polizeibeamter, der dritte ein Mann in grauem Sommeranzug und Panamahut. Auf Polchinskis Zufahrt hatte ich ihn nicht wiedererkannt, aber ich kann Ihnen sagen, jetzt erkannte ich ihn sofort. Ich wäre fast umgefallen...

This edited book explores the origins and evolution of the early childhood education and care (ECEC) system on the island of Ireland since the establishment of the Irish Free State in 1921. While the book acknowledges and celebrates the role of parents in caring for and educating their young children within the home, the key focus is on the provisions outside the home for children from birth to six years. It critiques the historical and contemporary provision under a number of key themes including curriculum, the policy and legislative landscapes, inspection and regulation, Irish language provision and professionalisation. Written by key experts and actors from the sector, it makes a unique contribution to the existing literature by bringing together in one collection a critical analysis of the key themes relating to the development of ECEC in Ireland. Moreover, signposts and signals for the future development of the sector are integral to the book.

The present work is a summary of Spanish poetry, offered as a spontaneous tribute of affectionate admiration to the contemporaneous Spanish poet--both Peninsular and American--from his English-speaking brethren of the north. This anthology is also offered in the belief that it will greatly facilitate the work of the writer or lecturer on Spanish poetry who has been handicapped by the great difficulty in obtaining English versions adequate to illustrate his theme. For this person, or the student or general reader, the selections are arranged in chronological order, with extensively researched bibliographical notes. The translators have presented in English some of the greatest poets writing in Spanish, while preserving the beauties of this literature.

History of the Irish Hierarchy

THE NIGHT WATCH They gathered in Lieutenant Detective Eckstrom's office for the assignment: jittery McCallister, stolid Ahern, and blond, relaxed Sheridan. They need to maintain a continuous watch on an apartment in a new housing development to catch a bank robber named Wheeler when he returns to his wife. They set up 12-hour shifts, and to relieve the boredom, McCallister begins to watch the young nurse in the next apartment. But it's only when Ahern leaves his post for a few drinks down the street that Wheeler returns. Sheridan spots him on the street, and he and Ahern brace the guy by his car. That's when everything starts to go wrong. Because Wheeler is carrying the cash, and Ahern is a little tight, and that is just more temptation than Sheridan can resist... THE DARK WINDOW Ray Cassidy has recovered from the police shootout that put him in the hospital, but the psychological scars still linger. He takes a job as security officer at the ritzy Hotel Imperial, but he's still gun-shy. When he spots Janisek and his stooge Emil in the corridors, his cop instincts kick in-he knows something is amiss here. But when he confronts Emil, Cassidy freezes up, and Emil is accidentally killed. What he doesn't know is that Janisek is here to work a switch with Bishop Hruba, recently escaped from an Iron Curtain prison, in order to steal the bishop's donations. Now it becomes a cat and mouse game between Janisek and Cassidy in Park Avenue's finest. And Cassidy's demons must finally be faced...
