Place
Everyone wants to find their own place in the world.But where is it and what is it? How do we recognize place as being significant and not just merely space? And what is it that makes one place special and another not?These are questions that have taxed philosophers as far back as ancient Greece.But they are also much more than philosophical investigations.In a world where neighbours fight over a stretch of land, or where some groups can feel safe only in certain locations, place is a living reality that can be either the cause for violent conflict or the glue that binds communities together.This exhibition in a book presents some of the most challenging art to address the function of place in the contemporary world.Arranged into themed 'rooms', it reflects a wide variety of artistic attitudes and practices.Some artists find inspiration in the heterogeneity of the crowded city street, while others celebrate the wilds of nature as a counter to urban life.Some present imagined or fantastic worlds of their own invention, or explore the way place is often a creation of the mind.Others investigate the deep marks that myth and history can leave on the land, or consider how place can be used as a form of political control.Territorial divisions demarcating one place from another, often with terrible consequences, are the chosen subjectmatter of many artists; others prefer to look at itinerant wanderers with no claims on the earth, or to focus on anonymous non-places that lack any real identity of their own.All of the artists in this book – among them Thomas Demand, Allan Sekula, Luc Tuymans, Steve McQueen, Roni Horn and Susan Hiller – use art to puzzle out the complicated ways in which place can shape and affect us.All of them help us to understand the world in which we live.

Home Place, Heart Place : Journeys around Ireland
This travelogue moves along by Ireland’s Wild Atlantic Way, by the Burren, a land of strange beauty that inspired Tolkien, by the ruins of remotely-placed monastic shrines and chanting monks.Memories of W B Yeats, G B Shaw, John Millington Synge, Raftery and others are revived in Lady Gregory’s Coole Park, the nineteenth century literary workshop of Ireland where they planned the founding of the Abbey theatre.A trip by the royal sites of Ireland’s Ancient East opens up a lost world where at times history dissolves into myth – Tara of the high kings, the royal hill of Uisneach, Rathcroghan, seat of the warrior Queen Medb, Emain Macha, home of the kings of the Red Branch of Ulster.Viking raids occupy these pages too and King Henry Vlll’s dismantling of the monasteries one by one.The heady days of the nineteenth century land agitation are remembered when the forces of revolution joined with parliamentarians – Davitt and Parnell – giving the people the leadership they so tragically lacked during the Great Famine. Holding these ages together is the landscape, sedate and unchanged since it convulsed into shape when continents shifted in the great volcanic shake-up millions of years ago. But above all, it is the journeying companions that firmly plant this trip in the present – poets Michael Farry, the Kennelly brothers, singer-songwriter Christy Moore, local historian Gearoid O’Brien among other generous people, who come along to offer a vision of their youthful world.

Why is my vinegar sizzling?
Your vinegar is sizzling because it is being heated. When vinegar is heated, the acetic acid in it begins to evaporate, creating bubbles and sizzling sounds. This process is similar to when water sizzles and evaporates when heated. The sizzling indicates that the vinegar is reaching its boiling point and the acetic acid is turning into vapor.
