Dr. Gilberg, who himself became an ordained rabbi later in life and is still practicing psychiatry as an octogenarian, offers a model for finding the joy and energy to speed up instead of slow down. In The Myth of Aging, he covers a range of topics that center on the inevitabilities—along with the boundless possibilities—of life, believing wholeheartedly that being whatever and whoever you want is not reserved exclusively for the youngest among us. Dr. Gilberg brings his clinical experience to the table to help people create positive changes in their lives. Because you’re never too old—not only to dream, but also to see those dreams come true.

Fowler's Pottery: Excavation of a 19th Century Manufacturing Site in Mid Ulster
This monograph details the 2019 Centre for Community Archaeology excavation of Fowler’s Pottery, a nineteenth century pottery manufacturing site located in the townland of Derrybuoy, just outside Coalisland, Co. Tyrone. The site produced coarse earthenware pottery, a type which has received little academic attention to date, and this publication will therefore be of great use in advancing our limited knowledge of the coarse, utilitarian pottery used every day in nineteenth century households. Four distinct vessel forms were produced in four possible decorative styles, showing a specialised range of production which appears to have primarily targeted the rural market. Several key features of the pottery were also identified and are described at length, including the kiln, drying room and clay extraction pit, as well as large quantities of brick and kiln furniture. The narrative is greatly supplemented by historical records including personal letters, census returns and local testimony which offer a high-resolution view of precisely how and when the pottery operated. While other Post-Medieval pottery production sites have been excavated in Ireland previously, this is the second example of a nineteenth century kiln producing coarse earthenware pottery to be excavated, and the first to receive publication, meaning that this site is of critical importance to advancing our knowledge of local economy and manufacturing in the period.
