Dispatches from Planet 3 - Marcia Bartusiak

An award-winning science writer presents a captivating collection of cosmological essays for the armchair astronomer The galaxy, the multiverse, and the history of astronomy are explored in this engaging compilation of cosmological tales by multiple-award-winning science writer Marcia Bartusiak. In thirty-two concise and engrossing essays, the author provides a deeper understanding of the nature of the universe and those who strive to uncover its mysteries. Bartusiak shares the back stories for many momentous astronomical discoveries, including the contributions of such pioneers as Beatrice Tinsley, with her groundbreaking research in galactic evolution, and Jocelyn Bell Burnell, the scientist who first discovered radio pulsars. An endlessly fascinating collection that you can dip into in any order, these pieces will transport you to ancient Mars, when water flowed freely across its surface; to the collision of two black holes, a cosmological event that released fifty times more energy than was radiating from every star in the universe; and to the beginning of time itself.

Dispatches from the Threshold - Alexander Ferrer, Rae Baker

Dispatches from the Threshold is an emergent archive of the burgeoning movement for housing justice in North America and beyond. Housing insecurity turned catastrophic during the COVID-19 pandemic, exposing the cruelty of threadbare tenant protections and state hostility toward unhoused people made worse by mass unemployment, a public health crisis, and racist police violence. Since 2020, tenants have successfully fought back against evictions and encampment policing, pushed their governments to extend and fortify eviction moratoria, strengthened tenants' rights and protections for unhoused people, and thought beyond strategies that primarily appease landlords and lenders. At the same time, the urgent work of stemming immediate eviction, displacement, and surveillance has sat in tension with long-haul movement work and cross-movement organizing. This book brings together activists, scholars, and legal practitioners directly involved in tenant organizing to contextualize and catalogue the traction and tensions of the movement across seventeen cities in five countries. Contributors connect housing justice to struggles against criminalization, surveillance, and policing, and to debates about social reproduction, precarity, organized labour, abolitionist praxis, and political strategy. These dispatches are as much a chronicle of organizing in a moment of crisis as an invitation to build solidarities across movements to ensure enduring justice ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Why Not? - Mark Schiff

From master comedian Mark Schiff, a long-time touring partner of Jerry Seinfeld, comes a hilarious account of decades of foolery with comedy and acting legends and how he honed his mensch skills in all of life’s arenas. Pursuing a career in comedy has always taken a lot of chutzpah. Today Mark Schiff looks back at his fifty-year career as a stand-up comic, actor, and writer and knows he’s laughed with the best of them. His comedy and character have been widely praised by everyone from Jerry Seinfeld to Bill Maher, Paul Reiser, and Colin Quinn—as Seinfeld writes in his foreword, Mark is “the greatest comedy pal a guy could ever wish for”—but it hasn’t always been easy. In this brilliantly honest collection of essays inducing both heart tugs and deep belly laughs, Mark recounts growing up Jewish in the outer boroughs of New York City and shares how he survived a harrowing childhood and managed health crises, aging, marriage, parenting, and career highs and lows. With wit and wisdom, Mark reminds us that no matter the troubles at-hand, the show must always go on. The result is an unforgettable and highly relatable account from one of the best humor writers ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Sniffin' Glue - Mark Perry

The seminal SniffinÂ’ Glue fanzine, collected here in its entirety, is a potent slice of 1967 / 77 punk culture. The book, which reproduces all twelve issues as well as insights from its creator Mark Perry, is back in print and all copies come with a special print.Sniffin'' Glue may have been the closest thing to perfection ever achieved by a fanzine. Untroubled by the demands of owners, publishers, designers and production editors, it was a one-man enterprise that perfectly mirrored the spirit and manners of its subject matter - punk rock - by being intentionally amateurish, passionate, and crude.Mark PerryÂ’s first issue (1 of 12) set the tone for an exercise in kitchen-table publishing that did not even have a kitchen table. Boldly scrawled in his bedroom, SniffinÂ’ Glue started out as a fanÂ’s rallying cry, went on just long as it needed to (one year) and then stopped, as good punk enterprises should.

The Road to a Hunger-Free America - Mark Winne

Curated from hundreds of Mark Winne’s articles, blog posts, and speeches, this book documents 20 years of progress against the rampages of the industrial food system.Beginning in the 1960s, the United States slowly awakened to an entirely new way of thinking about its most life-sustaining ingredient—food. Understanding the link between health and diet drove millions to a greater consciousness about their eating. Learning that the American food system had been captured by large corporations that practiced industrial forms of agriculture and food manufacturing spawned the organic farming movement, farmers’ markets, and an intense pursuit of locally grown food. The revelation that tens of millions of Americans were hungry and malnourished evoked public outrage and cast the spotlight on how racism and poverty bitterly shaped the lives of so many. Mark Winne has not only borne witness to these events, but also actively worked to find solutions to the many failures that have wracked the system. Each of the essays in this book is about one or more facets of the American food system, including hunger and food insecurity, diet and health, race and justice, farming, climate change, and sustainability. Organized by people, places, and actions that have had noteworthy impact ... Unknown localization key: "more"
