For fans of Schitt’s Creek and Sally Rooney’s Normal People, an irresistible and bighearted international bestseller that follows a brother and sister as they navigate queerness, multiracial identity, and the dramas big and small of their entangled, unconventional family, all while flailing their way to love. It’s been a year since his ex-boyfriend dumped him and moved from Auckland to Buenos Aires, and Valdin is doing fine. He has a good flat with his sister Greta, a good career where his colleagues only occasionally remind him that he is the sole Maaori person in the office, and a good friend who he only sleeps with when he’s sad. But when work sends him to Argentina and he’s thrown back in his former lover’s orbit, Valdin is forced to confront the feelings he’s been trying to ignore—and the future he wants. Greta is not letting her painfully unrequited crush (or her possibly pointless master’s thesis, or her pathetic academic salary...) get her down. She would love to focus on the charming fellow grad student she meets at a party and her friendships with a circle of similarly floundering twenty-somethings, but her chaotic family life won’t stop intruding: her mother is keeping secrets, her nephew is having a gay crisis, and her brother has suddenly flown to South America without a word. Sharp, hilarious, and with an undeniable emotional momentum that builds to an exuberant conclusion, Greta & Valdin careens us through the siblings’ misadventures and the messy dramas of their sprawling, eccentric Maaori-Russian-Catalonian family. An acclaimed bestseller in New Zealand, Greta & Valdin is fresh, joyful, and alive with the possibility of love in its many mystifying forms.

Disease-related Malnutrition

An Evidence-based Approach to Treatment

By: Rebecca J. Stratton,Ceri J. Green,Marinos Elia

Disease-related malnutrition is a global public health problem. The consequences of disease-related malnutrition are numerous, and include shorter survival rates, lower functional capacity, longer hospital stays, greater complication rates, and higher prescription rates. Nutritional support, in the form of oral nutritional supplements or tube feeding, has proven to lead to an improvement in patient outcome. This book is unique in that it draws together the results of numerous different studies that demonstrate the benefits of nutritional support and provides an evidence base for it. It also discusses the causes, consequences, and prevalence of disease-related malnutrition, and provides insights into the best possible use of enteral nutritional support.

Gender and Natural Resource Management

Livelihoods, Mobility and Interventions

By: Bernadette P. Resurreccion,Rebecca Elmhirst

This book is about the gender dimensions of natural resource exploitation and management, with a focus on Asia. It explores the uneasy negotiations between theory, policy and practice that are often evident within the realm of gender, environment and natural resource management, especially where gender is understood as a political, negotiated and contested element of social relationships. It offers a critical feminist perspective on gender relations and natural resource management in the context of contemporary policy concerns: decentralized governance, the elimination of poverty and themainstreaming of gender. Through a combination of strong conceptual argument and empirical material from a variety of political economic and ecological contexts (including Cambodia, China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Nepal, Thailand and Vietnam), the book examines gender-environment linkages within shifting configurations of resource access and control. The book will serve as a core resource for students of gender studies and natural resource management, and as supplementary reading for a wide range of disciplines including geography, environmental studies, sociology and development. It also provides a stimulating collection of ideas for professionals looking to incorporate gender issues within their practice in sustainable development. Published with IDRC.

Greta and Valdin

By: Rebecca Reilly

The modern world is too much for me. I feel like I'm George of the Jungle.' —Greta 'At the moment, for personal reasons, I don't like reading things about people being in love with each other.' —Valdin Valdin is still in love with his ex-boyfriend Xabi, who used to drive around Auckland in a ute but now drives around Buenos Aires in one. Greta is in love with her fellow English tutor Holly, who doesn't know how to pronounce Greta's surname, Vladisavljevic, properly. From their Auckland apartment, brother and sister must navigate the intricate paths of modern romance as well as weather the small storms of their eccentric Maori–Russian–Catalonian family. This beguiling and hilarious novel by Adam Foundation Prize winner Rebecca K Reilly owes as much to Shakespeare as it does to Tinder. Set in a world that is deeply familiar (but also a bit sexier and more stylish than the real one), Greta and Valdin will speak to anyone who has had their heart broken, or has decided that they don't want to be a physicist anymore, or has wondered about all of the things they don't know about their family.

The Missing Piece of Charlie O'Reilly

By: Rebecca K.S. Ansari

“As puzzle pieces click into place, The Missing Piece of Charlie O’Reilly reveals that it’s stories—and family—that make us whole. A deeply satisfying and beautiful book.” —Elana K. Arnold, National Book Award finalist and author of The Question of Miracles Charlie O’Reilly is an only child. Which is why it makes everyone uncomfortable when he talks about his brother. Liam. His eight-year-old kid brother, who, up until a year ago, slept in the bunk above Charlie, took pride in being as annoying as possible, and was the only person who could make Charlie laugh until it hurt. Then came the morning when the bunk, and Liam, disappeared forever. No one even remembers him—not Charlie’s mother, who has been lost in her own troubles; and not Charlie’s father, who is gone frequently on business trips. The only person who believes Charlie is his best friend, Ana—even if she has no memory of Liam, she is as determined as Charlie is to figure out what happened to him. The search seems hopeless—until Charlie receives a mysterious note, written in Liam’s handwriting. The note leads Charlie and Ana to make some profound discoveries about a magic they didn’t know existed, and they soon realize that if they're going to save Liam, they may need to risk being forgotten themselves, forever. Rebecca K.S. Ansari’s debut novel is a stunning contemporary fantasy about love, loss, and the power to forgive that we all have inside us—even if we sometimes forget that it’s there.

Greta & Valdin

By: REBECCA K. REILLY

Un hermano. Una hermana. Muchísimas emociones en un mismo apartamento. Esta es la historia de Greta y Valdin: dos hermanos de veintipico años con un apellido prácticamente impronunciable, una extensísima familia con raíces maoríes, rusas y catalanas, y un gusto bastante cuestionable en lo que a parejas se refiere. Valdin parece incapaz de olvidar a su exnovio, que se ha ido del país. Greta, por su parte, tiene un crush no correspondido con una compañera de trabajo, Holly, que es profesora de inglés y se aprovecha de ella para que le haga tareas administrativas. Sin embargo, aún hay esperanza para este par de hermanos enamoradizos. Al menos, se tienen el uno al otro para sobrevivir a las desgracias y a los problemas que les presenta la vida adulta moderna..., a menos que algún drama se interponga entre ellos. Entre las citas que salen mal, las disputas familiares y las noches de karaoke vergonzosas, Greta & Valdin narra una historia novedosa, conmovedora y desternillante sobre las vicisitudes del amor en todas sus formas. «Divertidísima, conmovedora y realmente sublime». JULIA ARMFIELD «Cálida, ingeniosa y absolutamente idiosincrásica». ALICE SLATER «Reilly posee una voz maravillosa y cargada de confianza... Greta & Valdin es una novela fantástica sobre la clase de familia rara, progresista y dramática (pero no hasta el punto de crearte un trauma) que a todo el mundo le gustaría tener. Justo ese es el motivo por el que creo que gustará a mucha gente». TIMES «Una novela inteligente, graciosa y emotiva... Es extremadamente sagaz, pero también es conmovedora y está repleta de frases ingeniosas». DAILY MAIL
