""St. John Capistran: Reformer"" by John Hofer is a biography of the 15th-century saint and religious leader, St. John Capistran. The book explores Capistran's life and work as a reformer within the Catholic Church, particularly his efforts to combat heresy and promote religious unity. Hofer also delves into Capistran's role as a diplomat and military leader, including his involvement in the famous Battle of Belgrade. Through extensive research and analysis of historical documents, Hofer paints a vivid portrait of this influential figure in the history of the Catholic Church. This book is an informative and engaging read for anyone interested in the history of Christianity or the life and legacy of St. John Capistran. This is a new release of the original 1947 edition.

The Docklands have played a central part in Cork's trading history and, being located in the heart of the city, feature greatly in the lives and memories of the local residents. The book is a visual record of the dockers and stevedores who work the wharfs, the business operators, and the sporting clubs, such as the rowers and the American football players, which use the waterways and fields for recreation. The photographs have been taken over a year and are a mixture of black and white and colour images. The book is large format containing landscapes, architectural close-ups and detailed studies, but with an emphasis on portraits.
