Welcome to Geography Publications

Founded in 1975, Geography Publications specialises in publishing books of Irish regional History, Geography and Biography
 Its most ambitious venture is the publication of a County History and Society series, which will endeavour to assemble a library of county histories for all of Ireland. To date nineteen counties are completed.
The most recent volume is Carlow: History & Society.
Each volume in this series, by incorporating the work of outsider and insider, builds up comprehensive insights into the respective study areas. The individual books comprise a collection of specialist essays arranged chronologically and based wherever possible on the entity of the county. The volumes are profusely illustrated with maps and photographs.
Our history series contains books such as Kilcash, The Landsdowne estate in Kerry, Celtic Studies in Europe, Memoirs of a Tipperary Family: The Gaynors of Tyone 1887-2000 and 'A town tormented by the sea' Galway 1790-1914. It also has a major book on Surveying Ireland's Past: Multidisciplinary essays in honour of Anngret Simms and To and from Ireland: Planned Migration Schemes c.1600-2000. The GAA in Dublin 1884-2000; In search of Fame and Fortune: The Leahy family of Engineers; The Queen's Last Map-Maker: Richard Bartlett in Ireland 1600-3 and John O'Leary: A study in Irish Separatism are some of our more recent publications.

The Queen's Last Map-Maker: Richard Bartlett in Ireland, 1600-3
Richard Bartlett was a talented cartographer and topographical draughtsman who practised in ireland at the beginning of the seventeeth century. John Andrew's has just launched his most accessible book yet: the beautiful, deceptively slim looking 'The Queen's Last Mapmaker'. This is devoted to Richard Bartlett, the great Elizabethan artist-cartographer whom historian Gerard Hayes-McCoy first celebrated in his book, Ulster and other Irish maps, c.1600 - and whom Andrews ranks with da Vinci, Durer and Wenceslas Hollar!
