On 20 December 2015 I became a mother and I went mad. On a single day, Mar García Puig gives birth to twins and becomes elected to the Spanish Parliament as a member of the insurgent left-wing party Podemos. What might have been the best day of her life becomes the start of a terrifying ordeal; García Puigs grip on reality begins to slip as she grapples with uncertainty, the weight of expectation, and misogyny in both of her new roles. In defiance of a culture that tells her the problem lies within, García Puig chooses to look outwards, examining the imbrication of madness and motherhood across centuries of science, myth, and politics while dissecting the ways in which women have been pathologized and banished from public life. At once intimate and epic, The History of the Vertebrate is a searing account of postpartum madness. Moving between memory, culture, and the history of medicine, García Puig transforms her experience into a story about the countless women who have felt that sanity was leaving them, and about the patriarchal forces that have silenced them.

In the summer of 1989 John Williams embarked on an epic journey through a deeply troubled USA.A right-wing Republican administration seemed bent on rolling back the advances of the civil rights era; the Supreme Court were partially reversing the Roe vs Wade ruling on abortion; criminals from the Central Park rapist to the serial killers Ted Bundy and John Wayne Gacey were all over the news. Who did Williams turn to make sense of all this? America’ s crime writers – that’ s who. He talked to novelists like James Ellroy and Elmore Leonard, Sara Paretsky and James Lee Burke, and visited the places they write about, like Los Angeles and Detroit, Chicago and New Orleans. The result was an instant cult classic: both an incisive and funny travelogue and a revealing guide to the lives and works of America’ s finest crime writers, caught at their peak.This updated and expanded edition includes a new afterword by the author and a foreword by acclaimed novelist David Peace.

At the peaceful Snail Sanctuary, all the snails are happy living their quiet, contented lives. All except for one little snail, who dreams of something more. While the others are satisfied with their leafy surroundings, this curious snail longs to see what lies beyond the sanctuary walls. He dreams of a grand adventure, one that will take him out into the big, wide world. With determination in his heart (and a bit of clever thinking), the little snail rolls his way under the HUMONGOUS gate. And just like that, his adventure begins. Drawn by laughter and light, the snail discovers a nearby building occupied by an artist and their studio, filled with colours, paintings, and happy people. Peeking through a window, hes fascinated by what he sees, a whole world of art that makes his heart race with excitement. When a kind boy notices him and invites him to join the painting fun, the snail hesitates at first. After all, how can a snail paint without hands? But with a bit of encouragement and imagination, he soon finds his own special way, painting with his antennae! What follows is a joyful explosion of creativity. The snail experiments with every colour of the rainbow reds, blues, greens, yellows, and more, creating wild swirls, wriggly lines, and dazzling shapes.

With the help of his human friend, the snail travels to the bustling big city. There, in a noisy art gallery full of people, he meets Mr. Clover, an art dealer who can hardly believe his eyes. A snail artist? he exclaims, but once he sees the paintings, he knows theyre something truly special. And so, the little snail earns his new name: The Snail Artist. His work amazes everyone who sees it, spreading joy and wonder far and wide. But even as fame finds him, the snail never forgets where he came from. When he finally returns home to the Snail Sanctuary, hes welcomed back with love, laughter, and a daffodil tea party in his honour. Back among his friends and family and his loyal pet ant, Agnes, the Snail Artist feels happy and proud. His journey has taught him that even the smallest creature can have the biggest dreams.

Djibril Diop Mambétys exuberant, inventive and urgent film Touki Bouki (The Journey of the Hyena) (1973) follows a young couple, Mory (Magaye Niang) and Anta (Mareme Niang), who dream of leaving their home in Dakar, Senegal for an imagined better life in Paris. Rosalind Galts insightful study analyses Touki Boukis cinematic worlds, from its narrative of postcolonial migration to its influence by international film style, both nonetheless grounded in African visual cultures and critical perspectives. Touki Bouki explores the intertwined histories of the postcolonial and the transnational, showing how the aesthetic and political ideas found in the experimentation of cinematic modernisms and New Waves are as African as they are European. Galts study interweaves a conceptual framework of world cinema studies and anti/decolonial theory with close analysis of Touki Boukis innovative audiovisual forms and its representations of desire and identity in postcolonial Senegal. Providing a detailed reading of the films themes and cinematic style, she argues for its classic status and for its long-lasting influence on world cinema. Autorid: Rosalind Galt

From the author of the insightful and well-crafted (The Wall Street Journal) Kennedy and King comes a heart-wrenching and sensitive examination of the tragic loss of President John F. Kennedy and First Lady Jacqueline Kennedys premature son, Patrick, and how their shared grief brought them closer together in the months leading up to his assassination. In April 1963, the White House announced that Jackie was pregnant with a sibling for Caroline and John Jr.joyful news after years of miscarriages and a stillbirth in 1956. But on August 7th, Patrick Bouvier Kennedy was born six weeks premature and died less than two days later. In this probing, soulful account of the struggle to save Patrick, Steven Levingston takes us inside the long-troubled relationship of Jack and Jackie as they faced one of the most difficult experiences of their marriage. With a perceptive and eloquent (The Christian Science Monitor) voice, Levingston reveals how Patricks death, tragic as it was, ultimately brought the couple closer together and set the President on a trajectory to be a better husband and father in the months leading up to their fateful campaign trip to Dallas. In a parallel storyline, Levingston reveals the largely unknown role President Kennedy played in modernizing an important corner of American health care. After Patricks death, he ordered studies into the primitive state of premature care and drummed up millions of dollars in government funding, igniting a revolution in treatments that over the decades have saved millions of infants thanks to the invention of baby ventilators, new drugs, and modern neonatal intensive care units. For his definitive account of Patricks brief but influential life, Levingston draws on first-ever interviews with doctors who treated Jackie and Patrick, in-depth revelations of the Secret Service agent in whose speeding car Jackie nearly gave birth prematurely, and on new archival documents. Twilight of Camelot is a fresh and humanizing portrait of one of the most famous and complicated couples of the 20th century, and a pulsating drama that illuminates one of the least-known periods in Kennedy family history.

The sheer richness and variety of terms they amassed reveal the closeness with which they observed the world around them. Swallows flying low foretold rain. The herons behaviour offered many hints: Aimsir chrua thirim nuair a bhíonn an corr éisc suas in aghaidh srutha chun na sléibhte (when the heron flies upstream to the mountains the weather will be dry but rough). Fearthainn nuair a thagann sí an abhainn anuas (when she goes downstream, it will rain). Evoking countless sodden, shivery experiences on this Atlantic-swept island of ours, this beautifully illustrated gift book uses Irish words to grasp an almost-lost world through the wisdom stored in the Irish language.

A healthy, plant-based diet is proven to help reverse chronic illnesses like heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and hypertension—but why is it so hard to get your doctor on board?As a young family physician, Dr. Michael Klaper dreaded seeing patients with cardiovascular disease and other chronic ailments, knowing that all he could offer was medication to slow down the inevitable worsening of their symptoms. Like many modern doctors, he had an unintended blindspot over the nutrition factor: Food is woven through every part of health, and common problems like high blood pressure, clogged arteries, and obesity can be reversed through an optimal plant-based diet. After adopting a comprehensive approach to his practice, he’s calling on other medical professionals to do the same—and empowering individuals to make the best choices for their own health. Combining Dr. Klaper’s in-depth research and firsthand experience, Moving Medicine Forward explains: - How nutritional guidance has helped his own patients cease taking medications for common “lifetime” conditions - What the latest science tells us about the devastating impact that eating animal products has on the human body - Why well-meaning physicians are pushed to prioritize pharmaceutical treatments over more effective, long-term solutions for healing - Strategies for preventing (and in some cases, reversing) common conditions including cardiovascular disease, liver disease, Alzheimer’s, ALS, and more - How to create a doctor-patient relationship that prioritizes clear communication, evidence-based medicine, and patient autonomy For both patients seeking a straightforward, nutrition-based path to health and doctors who want to do their best by their patients, this book remedies the gap in knowledge between diet and metabolic disease, while empowering readers with the tools they need to heal and live well. The health care “status quo” is failing all of us. It’s time to move medicine forward. Autorid: Michael Klaper, Glen Merzer

First published in 1910, Mad Shepherds, subtitled and other human stories, is an extraordinary book. The author, Lawrence Pearsall Jacks, was a philosopher, educator, writer and Unitarian minister, who came to live in the Vale of Evesham in the northern Cotswolds at the end of the nineteenth century. Mad Shepherds is a lightly fictionalised account of life in the village, which Jacks calls Deadborough, and is also a highly idiosyncratic and authentic exploration of rural life and culture. The protagonist is Snarley Bob, a shepherd, whose gruff and often rude outpourings conceal a dark wit and intelligence. As Jacks writes, 'Mystic, star-gazer, dabbler in the black or blackish arts, he seemed in his lowly occupation of shepherd to represent some strange miscarriage of Nature's designs.' Full of memorable portraits of the villagers, Mad Shepherds is a compulsively readable, sometimes strange book about an England now entirely lost and largely forgotten. This new edition has an introduction by the actor and director Mackenzie Crook. Autorid: L P Jacks, Mackenzie Crook
