About Books, May15, 2010

Adam Kaul, an anthropologist who teaches at Augustana College, is the author of Turning the Tune: Traditional Irish Music, Tourism, and Social Change in an Irish Village. The village is Doolin and Adam spent a year there doing "field work" for this book. Read it and learn about the "old days" before tourism discovered the pubs of Doolin and how the economic boom of the 1990's has changed the town and its music.
