A Guide to Dublin Bay By John Givens (Liffey Press, 2006) This is an anything-you-ever-wanted-to-know-about-Dublin-Bay-but-were-afraid-to-ask kind of book, a snapshot, but in depth, of a city that is defined by its bay area. Here you'll be transported to the waterway that rings the capital, you'll discover its history, its geography, its past, its present and the prospects for its future. Clontarf, Irishtown, the bird life, the lifeboat men, tales of the places and the people along the bay. . . it's all here. The book's subtitle is 'Mirror to the City'. How apt.
