  To see the world through comedian, writer, and The New Yorker contributor Zach 
  Zimmerman's eyes is to be reminded of the many ways in which love, religion, family, sex, money—or often lack thereof—lay bare our most elemental and embarrassing humanness. From meditations on heartbreak to not-so-helpful how-tos, this laugh-and-cry-out-loud essay collection documents one person's navigation through queerness, climbing the corporate ladder, dating cryptocurrency-obsessed mansplainers, mourning the loss of religiosity, and all the minute, beautiful discoveries in between. 
   
   
   
  "A charming, funny, resoundingly queer collection of bite-sized stories that go down smooth. It's a perfect summer read. You will fall in love with Zach." —GUY BRANUM, author of My Life as a Goddess: A Memoir Through (Un)Popular Culture 
   
   
   
  "Funny, provocative, touching, honest, and original. We're all already in Hell, but I'm so glad Zach is here with us. Zach writes as easily about the Olive Garden extended menu as about heartbreak and religion. I felt so seen and I laughed so hard." —BLYTHE ROBERSON, author of How to Date Men When You Hate Men

  Changes features a collection of key texts and ideas by artists, intellectuals and curators who have rethought and redefined the way a cultural institution should work. Alongside these documents, five essays establish guidelines for describing the institution's experimental and vastly innovative conceptual approach over the last ten years: the new meaning of format (as distinct from artistic work), the issue of sustainability in cultural institutions, identity politics, immersion and digital culture.
  
  A reader on the positioning of a pioneering German cultural institution that invites us to take a look at what has shaped the profile of its innovative programme.

  JURASSIC PARK 
  THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION 
    
  FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY STEVEN SPIELBERG 
    
  CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
    
  ABOUT THE FILM 
  Jurassic Park is a 1993 science fiction adventure film directed by Steven Spielberg, based on Michael Crichton’s novel. The story follows a group of experts and visitors who are invited to a futuristic theme park on an isolated island, where genetically engineered dinosaurs roam free. The park’s creator, John Hammond, promises a revolutionary experience, but when a series of malfunctions occur, the visitors must navigate through dangerous encounters with the recreated prehistoric creatures. The film explores themes of scientific ethics, the unpredictability of nature, and the consequences of tampering with genetic engineering, blending thrilling action with thought-provoking questions. 
    
  TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
    
  “The success of Jurassic Park and its book sparked a significant rise in the popularity of paleontology, resulting in a marked increase in students pursuing the subject.” 
    
  “The roars of the Tyrannosaurus Rex were created by combining sounds from various animals, including dogs, penguins, tigers, alligators, and elephants.” 
    
  “Michael Crichton originally envisioned John Hammond as a character inspired by a darker version of Walt Disney.” 
    
  “Universal Pictures acquired the film rights to Michael Crichton's novel for $2 million before it was even published.” 
    
  “The Mr. DNA cartoon, appearing around the 25-minute mark in the movie, was Steven Spielberg’s way of quickly summarizing much of the novel’s exposition.”

  British Architecture - A Very...

  British Architecture presents an original and engaging overview of the architecture of the British Isles, from medieval times to the present day. Avoiding the traditional approach of a chronological survey of architects and architectural style, each chapter presents a thematic exploration of key aspects of British architecture that endure across time and still have relevance today. Arnold also highlights the ways in which architecture can project national and regional identities. 
   
   
   
  British architecture tells of the intrinsic nature of Britishness and is an important means of understanding Britain's connection with the world. There is no doubt about the international significance of the work of recent and contemporary British architects. But Arnold also relates how a preoccupation with the past has been a constant theme in design. A thematic, historical understanding of British architecture in terms of its form and purpose explains much about society and culture. Architecture continues to shape patterns of living and social interaction and responds to new demands. Equally, debates about how best to express the nation through its architecture reveal much about Britain's perception of itself. Finally, Arnold explores how subsequent generations can offer new interpretations and meanings that change our view of British architecture's legacy.

  Born in 1852 in a small coastal town in Scotland, Helen D'Oyly Carte, through academic brilliance and an incredible talent for 'managing chaos', developed and ran the world's foremost top entertainment and hospitality organisation with her husband, Richard D'Oyly Carte (known as D'Oyly). By the age of 30, she was running five Gilbert & Sullivan companies for the Savoy Group in the United States, crossing the Atlantic thirty times, and for the next three decades she ran the Savoy Theatre, the Savoy Hotel, Claridges and Simpson's-in-the-Strand. She was the only one trusted by the prickly, brilliant William Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan, to keep them from breaking apart, as they so regularly wanted to do. From a conventional upbringing, she chose to remain in London after the emigration of her family to Australia, first as an actress, then working alongside D'Oyly – she took over the reins as he became ill in the late 1880s. Until her death in 1913, she flourished and was famous, interviewed and admired, in a competitive, vibrant London that was the centre of world power and commerce. Queen of The Savoy charts Helen's course from Wigtown to the West End, where running a company with hundreds of employees, led to her fame and fortune. The artists Whistler and Sickert were friends and immortalised her in portraits. She was known in her time as the true founder of the Gilbert and Sullivan franchise and this biography will bring to light, some 110 years after her death, the extraordinary role that she played in one of Britain's greatest success stories.
