The word Zulu means ‘heaven’, but for the suddenly besieged and minute British garrison at Rorke’s Drift, among them a key faction of Irish soldiers, it represented a hellish horde of warriors from the Zulu nation. A Bloody Night documents the terrifying struggle of these Irishmen as thousands of poorly armed but well-trained Zulus unexpectedly hurled themselves in a head-long, deadly onslaught against their hastily barricaded trading station and mission hospital. The battle, a defining clash in the 1879 Anglo-Zulu war, was a bare struggle for survival; the deeds and heroics of the Irish soldiers, subdued within the grand narrative, were no less exceptional than that of their English counterparts. Dan Harvey brings examples of their sheer resilience to the fore. The defence of Rorke’s Drift was an epic encounter and an exceptional piece of soldiering. Its tale of courage in adversity against impossible odds endures; the little-known but significant role of those Irishmen present is no less absorbing a story, and all the more intriguing for its unheralded heroism.

Originally published in 1977. Learning to read is probably the central educational achievement of any child's life. It is also a central concern for parents and teachers. Leila Berg, known for her work in children's literature, believes that the enjoyment of books and the acquisition of reading and writing is not primarily an academic or a technical skill, but grows from a warmly physical and emotional base of shared enjoyment with another human being. This book traces the varied ways that babies learn to communicate, and discusses the place of books in the lives of different groups in the community. It examines the types of books used in school, and demonstrates that, in many cases, books themselves provide the major inhibition to the development of reading through their stilted and often formalistic vocabulary. The author's aim is that all children's first experience of reading should be a loving and sensuous one, so that they can come to discover the power of books themselves.

Bonnie’s story begins at the commencement of her eighth-grade school year in 1961. But in so many ways, hers is a story of American youths during any time in our history, when young people struggle against the cruelty of their own peers, the difficulty of rapid sexual and physical growth and the even greater difficulty of holding onto ideals, while surmounting the hypocrisy of their elders. Bonnie is uprooted from her Bronx home at thirteen, taken from her violin instructor and from a city with enormous cultural advantages for any boy or girl with bus fare to Carnegie Hall or the Met Museum. She finds herself isolated in a new split-level, a new school, and new clothes, bereft of any connection to the art and culture that she loves. She loses her mother from an auto accident, but makes one good friend in a budding writer who with her beloved father, a disabled city fireman, helps her overcome a teenage rape, raise a child from that pregnancy, and find a path toward life-sustaining self-expression.
