Description:Where in Dublin was the world’s first earthquake experiment? Have you walked the Great Wall of Dublin yet? Or made a pilgrimage to the place where quaternions were invented? Do you know who safeguards Ireland’s national kilogram? Or where to see the skeleton of Tommy, the prince’s elephant? What about the first ever pirate radio broadcast? You’ll find all these stories and more in Mary Mulvihill’s great new Dublin guidebook. ‘Ingenious Dublin’ is a compendium of fascinating stories about the city and county, illustrated with archive images and packed with detailed information and places to visit. You’ll discover the famous Irish scientists and inventors whose ideas and discoveries changed the world, from the stethoscope and the syringe, to humane hanging, perforated postage stamps and even William Rowan Hamilton's quaternions, which you could say helped to land a man on the Moon! The five chapters are: the River Liffey, Port and docks; Dublin city centre south (from the Liffey to the Grand Canal); city centre north (from the Liffey to the Royal Canal); and then a circuit of the south and north county, to finish at Loughshinny. Each entry gives you the location and story, and links to relevant websites and places to visit. The new book is essential reading for anyone interested in exploring hidden Dublin – even native Dubliners will learn lots they never knew!
