From Water to Wine

Becoming Middle Class in Angola

By: Jess Auerbach

From Water to Wine explores how Angola has changed since the end of its civil war in 2002. Its focus is the middle class - defined in the book as those with a house, a car, and an education - and their consumption, aspirations, and hopes for their families. It is a book that takes as its starting point 'what is working in Angola?' rather than 'what is going wrong?' and makes a deliberate, political choice to give attention to beauty and happiness in everyday life in a country that has had an unusually troubled history. The book is uniquely structured: each chapter focuses on one of the five senses (smell, touch, taste, hearing, and sight, respectively) with the introduction and conclusion provoking reflection on proprioception (kinesthesia) and empathy respectively. A variety of media are employed - poetry, recipes, photos, comics, and other textual experiments - to engage readers and the senses. Written for a broad audience, this text is an excellent addition to classes on Africa, the Lusophone world, international development, sensory ethnography, and ethnographic writing.

Pathophysiology of Lysosomal Transport

Pathophysiology of Lysosomal Transport

By: Jess G. Thoene

The field of lysosomal transport has grown exponentially in the past decade. Research in this previously unknown function of lysosomes has resulted in understanding the metabolic defect in three inborn errors in metabolism: nephropathic cystinosis, cobalamin F-deficient methylmalonic aciduria, and Salla disease. Seventeen transport systems mediating the exodus from lysosomes of amino acids, sugars, nucleosides, phosphate, calcium, cobalamin, and sulfate have been described. Pathophysiology of Lysosomal Transport presents the current status in this field as described by the authors who made the original discoveries. Each chapter examines the pathological consequences resulting from a defect in a particular system. The book also examines the transfer of macromolecules into the lysosomes, describes the analogy between mammalian lysosomes and vacuoles of plants and fungi, and reviews non-mediated transport. A comprehensive chapter on the methodology required to perform lysosomal studies will benefit researchers undertaking investigations in this area.

Glimpses of Utopia

Real ideas for a fairer world

By: Jess Scully

It's hard to be excited about the future right now. Climate change is accelerating; inequality is growing; politics is polarised; institutions designed to protect us are strained; technology is disrupting the world of work. We need to upgrade the operating systems of our society. Jess Scully asks, What can we do? The answer is: plenty! All over the world, people are refusing the business-as-usual mindset and putting humans back into the civic equation, reimagining work and care, finance and government, urban planning and communication, to make them better and fairer for all. Meet the care workers reclaiming control in India and Lebanon, the people turning slums into safe havens in Kenya and Bangladesh, and champions of people-powered digital democracy in Iceland and Taiwan. There are radical bankers funding renewable energy in the USA and architects redesigning real estate in Australia, new payment systems in Italy and the Philippines that keep money in local communities, and innovators redesigning taxation to cut pollution and incentivise creative solutions. Glimpses of Utopia is a call for optimism. Humans everywhere are rising up to confront our challenges with creativity, resilience and compassion. Harnessing technology and imagination, we can reshape our world to be fair and sustainable. This book shows us how.

Thirty-Thousand Steps

A Memoir of Sprinting toward Life after Loss

By: Jess Keefe

You can’t run from your problems forever. Breakups, dead-end jobs, bumps in the road to adulthood—author Jess Keefe and her little brother Matt navigate them together as roommates, sharing late-night conversations and laughs. But when Matt’s heroin addiction comes roaring back after lying dormant for years, an overdose on a warm October night changes everything. In the year that follows her brother’s death, Keefe tries to start over, but her grief and trauma keep her obsessed with the past. She wonders how things could have turned out differently, diving into research about addiction and drugs and excavating their shared childhood and young adulthood for clues about what happened. To soothe her aching body and scattered brain, she takes on a new physical challenge: training for her first half marathon. She pushes her body to its limits to quiet the chaos in her mind, but as the race date nears, her recklessness catches up with her. With propulsive narrative scenes, a unique voice, empathy, and humor, Keefe combines her grieving experience with explorations of the social, political, and scientific drivers that influenced what happened to her brother. Thirty-Thousand Steps, a powerful, transformative memoir, explores the psychosocial risk factors that lead to addiction, the cudgel of Catholicism, the joy and shame in the early-aughts queer experience, and the extent to which one can push mind and body to regenerate after a major loss.
