  What more can pleasure offer us, and how can we transform this pleasure into intentional practice in pursuit of a collective liberatory future?
  When a society marginalises a people, their humanity is revolutionary in all its hunger and joy. As the queer community worldwide faces rampant transphobia, rising hate crime, and unequal access to support services – all in the context of humanitarian crises, a climate crisis, and a destabilised political landscape – hedonism can play a central role in how we seek to organise as a symbiotic system. When viewed through a queer lens, hedonism undergoes a process of transformation, embodying the power for change and much more.
  Borrowing from the Ancient Greeks' understanding of love's multiplicity, Roses for Hedone explores queer hedonism not as a momentary phenomenon or indulgence, but rather a transformational route – whether via euphoric raves, inspired art, marching side by side in protest, or sharing simple delights – through which we can learn from our past, connect in the present, and look towards a more fair, hopeful future together.

  Game culture and material culture have always been closely linked. Analog forms of rule-based play (ludus) would hardly be conceivable without dice, cards, and game boards. In the act of free play (paidia), children as well as adults transform simple objects into multifaceted toys in an almost magical way. Even digital play is suffused with material culture: Games are not only mediated by technical interfaces, which we access via hardware and tangible peripherals. They are also subject to material hybridization, paratextual framing, and processes of de-, and re-materialization.

  Sex Work and COVID-19 in the New...

  New Zealand’s relatively recent decriminalisation of sex work and its unusual success in combatting COVID-19 have both attracted international media interest. This accessibly written book uses the lens of news media coverage to consider the pandemic’s impacts on both sex workers and public perceptions of the industry. Analysing the stigmatisation of sex work in both short- and long-term contexts, the book addresses the impacts of intersectional oppressions or marginalisations on sex workers, and the ways sex work advocacy relates to other social justice movements. It unpicks how New Zealand’s decriminalisation approach functions under stress, offering valuable information for advocates, activists and scholars.

  Suburban Policing: Cleveland Style is an unfiltered, behind-the-scenes journey through the eyes of a seasoned law enforcement officer who spent 25+ years as a Police Officer making his way through the ranks (Patrol Officer, Sergeant, Lieutenant, Detective Bureau Commander, SWAT Team Commander, etc.,)—which culminated in serving his final eleven (11) years as a municipal Police Chief. With raw honesty, sharp insight, and moments of unexpected humor, this book offers a gripping look at what it truly means to wear the badge in one of America’s most challenging suburban environments. From high-speed pursuits and SWAT operations to life-altering auto accidents and unpredictable disturbances, this isn’t just another cop story—it’s a boots-on-the-ground memoir of dedication, danger, and deeply personal encounters with both tragedy and triumph. Drawn from decades of real-life experiences, these stories reflect the grit, compassion, and unwavering resolve of those who serve and protect. For anyone curious about what police officers really face day to day—and how a lifetime in law enforcement shapes a person—this book offers an authentic, unforgettable perspective.
