''Invaluable . . . A whistle-stop tour down through the ages'' Jarlath Burns, GAA President
The ultimate book to celebrate 140 years of Ireland''s greatest sporting and cultural institution - The GAA.
Pulse of the Nation is a celebration of the GAA''s 140 years at the centre of Irish life, from its foundation in
November 1884 to the present-day institution that has expanded massively at home and abroad.
It zones in on the greatest players in football and hurling, ranking them one-to-ten, accompanied by profiles, in each of the fifteen positions in both codes.
The ''greatest day'' for all 32 counties is explored, along with a trawl through the various competitions, from the All-Ireland championships with their ''Heartbeat of the Irish Summer'' billing, to those that were once popular but are no longer in place.
Controversies are examined, the changed managerial environment is assessed - including the impact of
some of the biggest names from Kevin Heffernan to Mick O''Dwyer, from Brian Cody to John Kiely - and the covers are lifted on the GAA''s role in Ireland''s social and cultural history, including the growth in popularity of camogie and ladies'' football. Written by award-winning sports journalists Martin Breheny and Donal
Keenan, this is the ultimate publication for the GAA''s 140th anniversary.

Descripción de la tienda
**Please note our transit times are from the date of dispatch.** We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first purchase with us, or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.…
