Tiny Joys

A Guide to Embracing Your Inner Coastal Grandmother

By: Katie Vaz

Grab your comfiest pair of linen pants, squeeze a lemon into your iced tea, and light your favorite ocean breeze candle…it’s time to get cozy and coastal! Equal parts activity book, inspirational guide, and gratitude journal, Tiny Joys is the newest addition to illustrator Katie Vaz’s universe of comfort and a celebration of all of the things we love about our daydreams of living on the coast: farmers market shopping lists, refreshing drink ideas, and suggestions for curating the perfect Sunday morning. Inspired by the breezy, luxuriously simple lifestyle of your favorite coastal grandmother—think Ina Garten or any 2000s movie with Diane Keaton—Tiny Joys is perfect for learning to relax and celebrate the joys of a life lived slowly.

My Life in Plants

Flowers I've Loved, Herbs I've Grown, and Houseplants I've Killed on the Way to Finding Myself

By: Katie Vaz

A “beautifully illustrated memoir, a deeply personal remembrance about the navigation into adulthood and the plants along the way. Touching and relatable.” (Lori Roberts, author of A Life of Gratitude) From Katie Vaz, author of Don’t Worry, Eat Cake, the beloved Make Yourself Cozy, and The Escape Manual for Introverts, comes My Life in Plants. Her newest book tells the story of her life through the thirty-nine plants that have played both leading and supporting roles, from her childhood to her wedding day. Plants include a homegrown wildflower bouquet wrapped in duct tape that she carried on stage at age three, to a fragrant basil plant that brought her and her kitchen back to life after grief. The stories are personal, poignant, heartwarming, and relatable, and will prompt readers to recall plants of their own that have been witness to both the amazing moments of life and the ordinary ones. This illustrated memoir covers the simplicity of home, the sharpness of loss, the lesson of learning to be present, and the journey of finding your way

The Escape Manual for Introverts

By: Katie Vaz

Trapped in an airplane seated next to a chatterbox? Are you hosting a dinner party with people who just won't leave? Katie Vaz has the key to your escape. The Escape Manual for Introverts guides readers through different scenarios with themed chapters ("Friends," "Relatives," "Strangers," etc.). Each chapter covers a range of situations, from an invitation to karaoke night to group lunchtime. And she offers a number of escapes for each scenario: bringing odoriferous foods to lunch for a while, having a pet (real or imagined) that "requires" frequent check-ins, and even investing in a jet pack. This book features Vaz's full-page illustrated spreads, hand-lettering, and spot illustrations. From the silly to the sincere, Vaz's clever, hilarious escape plans and bizarre excuses speak to the introvert in all of us.

Colonial Australian Women Poets

Political Voice and Feminist Traditions

By: Katie Hansord

My book traces the significant poetic and political contributions made by non-canonical women poets, situating women's poetry both in colonial Australian print culture and in wider imperial and transnational contexts. Women poets in colonial Australia have tended to be represented as marginal and isolated figures or absent. This study intervenes by demonstrating an alternative networked tradition of transnational feminist poetics and politics beyond and around emergent masculine nationalism, particularly within newspapers and periodical print culture. Without the inclusion of periodical literature, women’s poetry in Australia during the colonial period would appear to have been fairly limited. When periodical literature is taken into account, this picture is radically altered, and poets emerge as consistent contributors, often across a variety of newspapers and journals, who were well-known, influential and connected with political figures and literary circles. In examining this poetry in the original context of the newspapers and journals, the political intervention and the reception of that poetry is made much more apparent.

Risky Relations

Family, Kinship and the New Genetics

By: Katie Featherstone,Paul Atkinson,Aditya Bharadwaj,Angus Clarke

Increasingly more conditions are now being identified as having a genetic component, and controversial new genetic technologies potentially have major consequences for social relations and self-identity. How do family members respond to the information that they have a genetically transmitted disease or condition? How do they communicate (or not communicate) about their shared heritage? How do they decide who to tell and who not to tell within their family? Richly illustrated with the real experiences of individuals and families, Risky Relations is essential reading for anthropologists and sociologists of health and medicine, specialists in family and kinship, and health professionals concerned with the treatment and counselling of clients with genetic conditions. The lived impact of genetic technology on understanding within families with genetic conditions has never been systematically explored. This book fills a major gap by placing ethical, medical and social debates surrounding this charged issue firmly in context.

Venezuelan Metafiction 2004-2012

By: Katie Brown

Through a close reading of eight Venezuelan novels published between 2004 and 2012, this book reveals the enduring importance of the national in contemporary Venezuelan fiction, arguing that the novels studied respond to both the nationalist and populist cultural policies of the Bolivarian Revolution and Venezuela’s literary isolation.

They DID promise her a killer hen weekend... Jeanie’s getting married, and – despite her completely impossible four sisters – her best friends Clio and Amber are determined to give her a bachelorette weekend to remember. They’re in matching pink T-shirts and the drinks are flowing... But the night turns out to be unforgettable for all the wrong reasons when a girl turns up dead on the dancefloor. And – even though she’s a stranger – she is wearing one of Jeanie’s hen T-shirts. Who is she? And why are the police convinced that the hens are involved? Can the newly-formed Bad Girls Detective Agency solve the murder? And in time to get Jeanie up the aisle? Unputdownable mystery set on the English coast – perfect for fans of The Thursday Murder Club, Bad Sisters and How to Kill Your Family. Readers love the Bad Girls’ Detective Agency series: ‘For lovers of the Thursday Murder Club, this is an equally compelling read, friends united together to solve a murder for which one of them is in the frame.’ NetGalley reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘Devoured this in 24 hours!’ NetGalley reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘So gripping and so dark. Had to stay up very late to finish it – I inhaled it! I can’t wait for this to come out and for y’all to lose your minds. If you had doubts about preordering, don’t.

Can’t wait for more!’ Goodreads reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘Mystery and intrigue. This talented author has written a cannot put down whodunit.’ NetGalley reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘I loved this book!

America's New Vaccine Wars

California and the Politics of Mandates

By: Mark C. Navin,Katie Attwell

The air was electric at California's Capitol. At a rally on the building steps, one speaker after another railed against a new bill to regulate parents' vaccination choices. If it passed, parents could no longer skirt California's daycare and school vaccine requirements by claiming religious or philosophical objections to vaccines. In response to attempts to eliminate these nonmedical exemptions (NMEs), Robert F. Kennedy Jr. shouted to the crowd that "parents know best" when it comes to their children's health. Bob Sears, the pediatrician author of best-seller The Vaccine Book, called on parents to "Get out there and fight for your rights!" Protestors, many of them dressed in red shirts, chanted, "My Child, My Choice." Signs amplified their message: "Force my veggies, not vaccines" and "Protect the Children, Not Big Pharma.""--
