Hodder & Stoughton Hurrah for Gin
Book SynopsisFROM THE BESTSELLLING AUTHOR OF THE LOTTIE BROOKS SERIES, KATIE KIRBYThis book is not a how-to-guide. It won''t tell you how to get your baby to sleep, how to deal with toddler tantrums, how to be a good parent, a cool parent or even a renegade parent. It is a book about parenting that contains absolutely no useful advice whatsoever. Instead it shares beautifully honest anecdotes and illustrations from the parenting frontline that demonstrate it is perfectly possible to love your children with the whole of your heart whilst finding them incredibly irritating at the same time. From pregnancy to starting school, Hurrah For Gin takes you through the exciting, frustrating, infuriating and wonderful whirlwind of parenthood, offering solidarity and a friendly hug after a tough day. Best served with gin.Trade ReviewHer account of parenting is as wickedly funny as it is honest and brave, and the amazing stick figure illustrations some how say it all. * Motherland *My new favourite book. * Katie Piper *Enjoying the illustrations and frankness of Katie Kirby * Alex Jones *Mother's brilliant cartoons show the reality of raising children that ALL parents will relate to... [Katie Kirby's] hilarious cartoons depicting the reality of parenting have turned her into something of a hero for frazzled parents. * Daily Mail *Beguiling enough for The New Yorker * Lionel Shriver *Hilarious stick figure cartoons perfectly sum up the reality of motherhood... an amusingly frank account of life with young kids. What sets her apart is her wonderfully simple stick figure drawings which perfectly encapsulate the daily struggles of motherhood - with a large dollop of tongue-in-cheek humour. * The Sun *Wickedly funny... sharply observed. * Mail on Sunday *

Paul Dry Books, Inc Along Those Lines: The Boundaries That Create Our
Book SynopsisAfter years of crossing borders in search of new birds and new landscapes, Peter Cashwell''s exploration of lines between states, between time zones, and between species led him to consider the lines that divide genders, seasons, musical genres, and just about every other aspect of human life. His conclusion: Most had something in common -- they were largely imaginary. Nonetheless, this a tour of the tangled world of delineation, attempts to address how we distinguish right from wrong, life from death, Democrat from Republican -- and how the lines between came to be. Part storyteller, part educator, and part wise guy, Cashwell is unafraid to take readers off the beaten path -- into the desert vistas of the Four Corners, the breeding ground of an endangered warbler, or the innards of a grand piano. Something amusing and/or insightful awaits at every stop. And he''s not alone. The tricks and treats of the human instinct for drawing lines are revealed in interviews with experts of all sorts. Learn about the use of the panel border from a Hugo Award-winning comics creator. Trace the edge of extinction with the rediscoverer of the Ivory-billed Woodpecker. Get the truth about the strike zone from an umpire who holds a degree in physics. You will begin to see even the most familiar lines in a whole new way.

Unbound The Future of British Politics
Book SynopsisWhere and who do we want to be? How might we get there? What might happen if we stay on our current course?In The Future of British Politics, comedian Frankie Boyle takes a characteristically acerbic look at some of the forces that will be key in coming years, from Scottish independence and post-colonial entitlement to big tech surveillance and the looming climate catastrophe. Despite his fears that 'soon the only red tape in this country will be across the finish line of the compulsory Food Bank Olympics', he manages to locate some hopeful signs amid the gloom, reminding us that 'despair is a moment that pretends to be permanent'.This brief but mighty book is one of five that comprise the first set of FUTURES essays. Each standalone book presents the author's original vision of a singular aspect of the future which inspires in them hope or reticence, optimism or fear. Read individually, these essays will inform, entertain and challenge. Together, they form a picture of what might lie ahead, and ask the reader to imagine how we might make the transition from here to there, from now to then.

Scion Publishing Ltd Surviving Medicine: The Med School Years
Book SynopsisTips, techniques, humour and cartoons to guide you through life as a medical student. Being a medical student is challenging, intimidating and rewarding in equal measure. Medical students often get hung up on the stresses and strains of learning such a vast amount of information and the expectations upon them. Surviving Medicine: the med school years is the perfect antidote to this stressful environment – the cartoons are light-hearted reflections on life as a medical student and highlight some of the absurdities you are likely to encounter. But this book is much more than just a collection of funny, and often irreverent, cartoons. It provides real practical advice on surviving ward rounds, coping with doubt and anxiety and preparing for exams, amongst others. It also contains a weath of medical tips and knowledge to help you survive your time at medical school. Most of the situations described in this book will crop up at some point as you progress through medical school and beyond. Consider them a rite of passage as you rack up the experience and confidence to look back and think, I can't believe I was scared of that...! Trade ReviewFive-star reviews: Really enjoyable book for students and doctors alike "I got this book after enjoying Dr Sloper's instagram account (@unicyclemedic). Unsurprisingly, the cartoons are really funny and there are lots of new ones in addition to those he has previously published. The accompanying explanatory text and advice are really useful for any medical student especially because Dr Sloper has a realist approach to things - he recognises and pokes fun at the fact that medical students have no idea what we're doing..! What makes the book really great is that, in combination with this, the accompanying text contains lots of heartfelt, personal advice (especially Chapter 6) about how to deal with uncertainty and difficult clinical situations to go perfectly with the humour. I really recommend and will be flicking through it during finals revision for a laugh for sure. "Also, it's not just for students - I showed it to my partner's doctor parents and they loved it, I imagine it would also be a good and humorous way for medical students to explain to friends and family just what it is we've been doing for the past 4-6 years. I've attached a photo example of just one of the many great jokes/observations in this book."

Vintage Publishing Flush
Book SynopsisFlush was an English cocker spaniel who belonged to the nineteenth-century poet Elizabeth Barrett Browning. Virginia Woolf learned of him from the love letters Elizabeth wrote to her future husband, fellow poet Robert Browning, and found ‘the figure of their dog made me laugh so, I couldn't resist making him a Life.’ The resulting ‘biography’ combines sensuous imaginative description with sharp social comment, and brings Woolf’s unsentimental humour and insight to the fore. We see Flush as loyal confidant to Elizabeth on her sickbed at Wimpole Street, and from his jealous perspective we witness her courtship by Browning, their elopement and new life in Italy. The perfect accessible introduction to Woolf’s genius, a unique blend of fact and fiction, Flush is perhaps best read in the company of a canine companion.This edition includes the four original illustrations by Vanessa Bell and an afterword by Margaret Forster.Cover designed by the award-winning Finnish designer Aino-Maija MetsolaTrade ReviewA most triumphant trespassing of human imagination into dog sensibilities... The result is a book of irresistible grace and charm * Spectator *Flush is an afternoon's delight for dog-loving readers. It's wit and whimsy and sniffing, snuffling playfulness will amuse anyone who's ever known a spaniel. Woolf's literary underdog is a canine classic. * Guardian *A masterpiece... It is not fiction because it has the substance, the reality of truth. It is not biography because it has the freedom, the artistry of fiction * New York Herald Tribune Books *
