  Welcome to the jungle… 
  When you’ve grown up thinking your twenties are all about working hard, playing hard and trying not to get pregnant, life comes at you fast when you go from hump to bump. 
  So you thought adulthood would mean a high-flying career and a luxury lifestyle, but instead have ended up with a Lycra-based wardrobe and a deep fear of what lies at the bottom of the ball-pit in soft play? 
  Join comedian Sophie McCartney as she voyages deep into the uncharted territories of mating, birthing, feral offspring, mums overdoing it at the watering hole, and the perilous viper’s nest of the school WhatsApp group. 
  With laugh out loud humour and eye-watering honesty, Sophie shows how whether you’ve had a day full of whining or a night full of wine, there’s joy to be had in the perfectly imperfect wild ride into parenthood. 
  In Tired and Tested, Sophie McCartney, a top-notch comedian, explores the wild terrain of relationships, childbirth, and the health challenges that come with it. This bestseller is a humorous autobiography that delves into the realities of motherhood and family life, making it a must-read for anyone navigating the same journey. 
  For fans of Laura Belbin (No Shame), Sarah Turner (The Sober Revolution), Laura Clery (Idiot), Sophie Martin (The Infertile Midwife), and Hayley Morris (Me vs Brain).

The nature of those species will determine the shape of the civilisations that rise on the far side of tomorrow."Taming the Apocalypse" explores the long rise of humanity and agriculture, and suggests practical approaches that people everywhere can use to create new symbiotic relationships with organisms across the entire tree of life.

  What is Queer Food? - How We...

  A celebrated food writer's expansive, audacious excavation of the development of modern queer identity and food culture. 
   
   
   
  Food in America and Europe has long been shaped, twisted, and upended by queer creatives. Beloved food writer John Birdsall fills the gap between the past and present, channeling the twin forces of criticism and cultural history to propel readers into the kitchens, restaurants, swirling party-houses, and humming interior lives of James Baldwin, Alice B. Toklas, Truman Capote, Esther Eng, and others who left an indelible mark on the culinary world from the margins. Queer food is brunch quiche à la Craig Claiborne, Richard Olney's ecstatic salade composée, and Rainbow Ice-Box Cake from Ernest Matthew Mickler's White Trash Cooking. It's the intention surrounding a meal, the circumstances behind it, the people gathered around the table. 
   
   
   
  With cinematic verve and prose that dazzles, What Is Queer Food? is a monumental work: a testament to food's essential link to a modern queerness that reveals how, like fashion or tastes in music, food has become a language of LGBTQ+ identity.
