Bringing together a range of different place-studies, including holy wells, spa towns, Turkish baths and sweat-houses, sea-bathing and the modern spa, this book investigates associations between water, health, place and culture in Ireland. It is informed by a humanistic approach, showing how health and place are socially and culturally constructed and how health is embodied, experienced and enacted in place. In addition, the work argues that an understanding of health and place must also consider the historical, societal and cultural orthodoxies that shape and produce those places.

Un ange passe..." Curieux, n'est-ce pas, qu'une telle expression ne se réfère qu'au silence ? Pourquoi la limiter à l'expérience auditive ? Serait-ce parce que les anges sont invisibles ? Ne sauraient-ils nous donner des signaux visuels pour annoncer leur présence furtive ? Ce qui m'enchante dans les photographies du livre de Ronan Guillou, c'est que toutes ces images sont trouvées. Toutes sont réalisées dans l'impulsion du moment. Elles ne sont ni manipulées ni "travaillées". Elles rayonnent de réalité. Quel soulagement ! Wim Wenders (extraits)
