Maps are essential tools in finding our way around, but they also tell stories and are great depositories of information. Until the twentieth century and the arrival of aerial images, a map was the best way of getting a sense of what a city looked like on the ground. Through a carefully chosen selection of maps, the book traces the growth and development of Dublin from the early seventeenth century to the present day, offering a fascinating snap-shot of how the city has changed over time. Whilst the maps recount the big stories – the impact of major forces such as the restoration of the monarchy in 1660 or the effects of the Easter Rising in 1916 and the Civil War in 1922 – they also tell the smaller tales such as the creation of a colony of Irish speakers in the late 1920s and the arrival of parking meters and how they changed how people could use the city centre. Together with maps that reveal much about the famous buildings, transport, health, trade, life and work of the city, this book is a fascinating portrait of Dublin through the ages which offers many new perspectives on one of Europe’s great cities.

The old factory had long since been picked clean... all that remained were smoke stacks and towers. Sometime ago it became art. This is what is born from ruins. I remember my first dance with the first girl to break my heart.. Our foreheads touching...one last gesture of innocence... In an antique store in Louisville, Kentucky, I found a picture of a surveyor on the banks of the Ohio... the black and white picture had yellowed from the decades-- but he was focused, locked in on some by gone present.

Life was never going to be easy for Joe Tubbs. Without a father, his role model was his mother, a promiscuous addict who died of an overdose when he was just fifteen. The Hollywood dream kept his fragile mind together, but ridicule and rejection from the industry he loved turned disappointment to anger and rage. When he finally hit on a brilliant idea for a film no one in L.A. would look at his script. Alone and desperate for recognition, Joe decided to bring his script to life and take it to the people. Within days, his chilling deeds spread fear and panic in the city. Suddenly, Joe had a lead role that everyone was talking about. He was finally living the dream. With no leads, bodies piling up and pressure from City Hall mounting, Detective Dan Scott needed all the help he could get. But would a theory put together by small town investigative journalist Leigh Turner help them find the man responsible for bringing terror to the streets of L.A.? Zodiac, The Sunset Strip Killers, The Freeway Killer, The Vampire of Sacramento and The Gallego Sex Slave Killers were just a few of the many evil men and women to plague the Golden State over the last fifty years. Dan knew that California was no stranger to serial killers, and if Leigh Turner was right, another one was already making headlines. But this one was different.

Liturgical texts, repeated week after week by hundreds of thousands of people, are an ideal starting-point for exploring deep matters of faith. Their rich theological content, their themes and their familiarity, can help us develop a more mature, informed faith and spirituality. Assuming no specialist knowledge but convinced that a good theological understanding is within everyone's grasp, Paul Ferguson takes often repeated words from the Eucharist, morning and evening prayer, and the baptism, marriage and funeral rites to explore core Christian belief. Ideal for confirmation courses, study groups and individual reading, this will take readers to new places of understanding via familiar, loved texts.

19 stories of fierce beauty told in a deceptively simple voice. An old man, living by & off the river; A young boy watches helpless as his father dies at Christmas; A couple rekindle romance in surprising ways; Jack Autry, defying all odds and surviving, in spite of or because of the risks. These characters, among others, are presented with great compassion and with no pre-judgments. Standing to lose everything or having nothing to lose, they never lose their dignity or their honor. With these bold works, Paul Ferguson proves himself worthy of being regarded as a poet of the dispossessed. "A rising voice on the literary scene" People Magazine "He Ferguson] can write " Joan Didion, author: White Album, The Year of Magical Thinking "Here there are deep waters, but Ferguson never lets us sink. His voice is clear, the language sober and succinct." John F. Kelly, author: Tainting Evidence; Inside the Scandals at the FBI Crime Lab
