Twenty Years' Recollections of an Irish Police Magistrate
Frank Thorpe Porter's book is a fascinating, horrifying, and at times hilarious document of life in Ireland during the late 18th and early 19th century. Porter's book is full of personal anecdotes about the cases he was involved in, and the people he knew around Dublin, Dun Laoghaire, and further afield. There's stories of people escaping from Death Row in Kilmainham gaol, professional beggars, lost diamonds, suave swindlers, drunken sailors, rebels, reunited lovers, she barracks, and much more. Thorpe is a convivial storyteller and relishes the opportunity of presenting these stories and tries to be as accurate as he can. Anyone who enjoys incredible real stories, Irish History, or criminal cases will find something to appreciate here.About BrambleHill Press: BrambleHill Press Limited has been set up to publish forgotten or neglected texts that we come across and feel are interesting, relevant, and should be much wider known.

To find the answers, private eye Matt Bentley is hired and sent over to the popular holiday island. It does not take him long to get some answers and that brings Patience out to join him, to begin an adventure that takes them to the mainland and on a road trip throughout southern Spain.
Contact Improvisation
In most forms of dancing, performers carry out their steps with a distance that keeps them from colliding with each other. Dancer Steve Paxton in the 1970s considered this distance a territory for investigation. His study of intentional contact resulted in a public performance in 1972 in a Soho gallery, and the name "contact improvisation" was coined for the form of unrehearsed dance he introduced. Rather than copyrighting it, Paxton allowed it to evolve and spread. In this book the author draws upon her own experience and research to explain the art of contact improvisation, in which dance partners propel movement by physical contact. They roll, fall, spiral, leap, and slip along the contou...
