Clever Girl - Jurassic Park

Hannah McGregor

Sinopsis

A smart and incisive exploration of everyone’s favorite dinosaur movie and the female dinosaurs who embody what it means to be angry, monstrous, and free
		 
The Jurassic Park series is one of the most famous and profitable cinematic experiences of all time, with an entire generation of people who have never known life without these CGI dinosaurs. But while the movie spectacle broke film and merchandising records, pioneered special effects, and made Jeff Goldblum into an unlikely sex symbol, it has also been re-envisioned as a classic of queer feminist storytelling.
		 
In Clever Girl, Hannah McGregor argues that the female-only dinosaurs of Jurassic Park are stand-ins for monstrous women, engineered by men to be intelligent, violent, and adaptive, and whose chaos resists the systems designed to control them. As they run wild through their prison, a profit-driven theme park, they destroy the men and structures who mistakenly believed in their own colonialist and capitalist power, showing the audience what it means to be angry, monstrous, and free. The velociraptors were not just jump scares for children, but also revelatory and predatory symbols of feminist rage. Clever girls, indeed.

Fever - The Complete History of...

Margo Donohue

Saturday Night Fever made millions at the box office, earned an Oscar nomination for John Travolta, catapulted The Bee Gees' music career into the stratosphere with a record-breaking, Grammy-winning soundtrack album, and ignited a "disco inferno" that burns to this day. From Travolta's iconic white polyester suit and legendary dance moves, to the flashing lights and illuminated floor of the Odyssey disco in Brooklyn, Saturday Night Fever captured the era like no other film—and launched a phenomenon that changed the world forever. 
 
 
 
Here, for the first time, is the complete history of Saturday Night Fever. From the New York magazine article that inspired the film—"Tribal Rites of the New Saturday Night" by Nik Cohn—to the on-and-off-set dramas of Travolta, director John Badham, and producer Robert Stigwood, this deep dive into the making of a movie classic also includes special interviews with actors Donna Pescow and Joseph Cali, among others. It explores the huge impact of the film on the industry—including a "Death to Disco" backlash—as well as on American culture itself. With modern-day insights into its 1970s-era portrayals of gender, sex, and race, this is a richly detailed, delightfully entertaining celebration as glittering and multi-faceted as a mirrored disco ball. It's a must-listen for every movie and music lover who's ever caught the Fever . . .

Art Therapy - The Study and...

Vivian Westlake

Art has been an integral part of human expression for millennia, transcending language and culture to communicate thoughts, emotions, and experiences. In the realm of therapy, art serves as a transformative tool, offering individuals a unique way to process their emotions, explore their identities, and navigate life’s challenges. Art therapy bridges the gap between the conscious and unconscious mind, enabling a form of expression that words often fail to capture. 
At its core, art therapy leverages the creative process to foster emotional healing and psychological growth. Unlike traditional talk therapy, where verbal articulation is central, art therapy focuses on the act of creation itself. This approach allows individuals to externalize their feelings, making abstract emotions tangible and, therefore, easier to understand and address. Whether through painting, drawing, sculpting, or digital media, the act of making art provides a safe and nonjudgmental space for self-reflection and exploration. 
The power of art in therapy lies in its accessibility. You do not need to be an artist to benefit from art therapy. The emphasis is not on the aesthetic value of the work but on the process and what it reveals. For children, who may lack the vocabulary to articulate complex feelings, art therapy offers a way to communicate visually. Adults, too, find solace in the creative process, as it can unlock suppressed emotions and provide clarity in moments of confusion or distress.

Lay It On The Line - A Backstage...

Rik Emmett

From Triumph superstar Rik Emmett comes the thrilling, inspiring story of a life of rock and roll
		 
While describing the impulse driving his life and work, Rik Emmett explains, “I was never in it for the sex and drugs — ah, but the rock and roll. Creativity was, and still is, my it — the truth I bet my life on. It was also, always, about play. The play’s the thing …”
		 
Merging memoir, anecdotes, and masterclasses on guitar, songwriting, and the artist’s mindset, Lay It On The Line offers insight and perspective into the many roles Rik Emmett took on. “It” was always a parboiling, psychological gumbo: and this book attempts to finally share the recipe.
		 
It also includes photos from Emmett’s own archives, plus the definitive, detailed reasons behind why he walked from Triumph — and came back two decades later.
		 
Rock star, it seems, was a character for Rik Emmett to inhabit … a great gig, a catalytic door-opener … it was a role that led to other adventures — and these are the stories he’s chosen to tell.
