Like the best of Pevsner authors, Tierney understands the immutable bond between landscape from architecture. We learn of the ancient timber tracks across the bogs, the canal routes that linked Dublin with the Shannon, and the now rapidly vanishing concrete cooling towers of state-sponsored peat electricity generation - all part of an enmeshed entity of landscape and human endeavour that the author explores with great sensitively and vivid description -Richard Butler, Rural History

We learn of the ancient timber tracks across the bogs, the canal routes that linked Dublin with the Shannon, and the now rapidly vanishing concrete cooling towers of state-sponsored peat electricity generation - all part of an enmeshed entity of landscape and human endeavour that the author explores with great sensitively and vivid description -Richard Butler, Rural History Central Leinster is the fifth volume in the Ireland series and covers an area where many of the Ireland's most rewarding and distinctive buildings are found - Ger Scully, The Tribune
