Honey, bee yourself! Gopher it. Don’t be koi. Like puns? That’s coo, says the pigeon. Hate puns? Birch, please.

  Photos, postcards, and ads featuring vintage trailers—from humble family vacations to Hollywood stars.  Trailerama provides a visual wonderland filled with imagery featuring these vintage vehicles, fondly recalled for their associations with fun, adventure, family vacations—and of course, movie stars on the set. From greeting cards to postcards to Hollywood photos, the travel trailer is put on grand display in this kitschy celebration culled from the coffers of Trailer Travel’s Phil Noyes.   “Filled with colorful images of trailers. Culled from ads, postcards, sheet music, and more, they run the gamut from the earliest mobile coaches in the 1930s to the roving behemoths that came to dominate the market in later decades…Noyes documents the country’s still smoldering love affair with life on the road.”—Los Angeles Magazine

  “Should be required reading for every pet owner. Readers will identify with Pierce’s feelings of ambivalence…as they read about Ody’s antics and challenges.”—Library Journal Watching our beloved animals grow older is never easy. This book, by a bioethicist who recounts the moving story of her dog Ody’s final year, also presents an in-depth exploration of the practical, medical, and moral issues that pet owners confront with the decline of their companion animals. Combining heart-wrenching personal stories, interviews, and scientific research to consider a wide range of questions about animal aging, end-of-life care, and death, Jessica Pierce tackles such vexing questions as whether animals are aware of death, whether they're feeling pain, and if and when euthanasia is appropriate. Given what we know and can learn, how should we best honor the lives of our pets, both while they live and after they have left us? The product of a lifetime of loving pets, studying philosophy, and collaborating with scientists at the forefront of the study of animal behavior and cognition, The Last Walk asks—and answers—the toughest questions pet owners face. “Using her experience caring for her elderly Vizsla as a springboard, Pierce, who is a bioethicist, explores the evolution of North American attitudes toward pets and their demise, while delving as deeply as she can into her own feelings as her dog Ody goes into decline.”—Globe and Mail “With her beautiful ‘Ody's journal’ passages, Jessica Pierce made me feel close to her beloved and high-maintenance old dog. It was through Ody’s challenges, and Pierce's on his behalf, that I came to grapple in important new ways with issues of pet aging and death. This book is revolutionary, and I loved it with all my heart.”—Barbara J. King, author of Being with Animals

  “Terrifically exciting and fun” (Publishers Weekly), Champagne Supernovas is “a lucid, smoothly executed look at a pivotal decade in the legacy of American fashion” (Kirkus Reviews) as told through the lives of Kate Moss, Marc Jacobs, and Alexander McQueen—the three iconic personalities who defined the time.Veteran pop culture journalist Maureen Callahan takes us back to the pivotal style moment of the early 1990s—when supermodel glamazons gave way to heroin chic, when the alternative became the mainstream, and when fashion suddenly became the cradle for the most exciting artistic and cultural innovations of the age. Champagne Supernovas gives you the inside scoop from a bevy of supermodels, stylists, editors, photographers, confidantes, club kids, and scenesters who were there. They’ll tell the unvarnished story of three of the most influential personalities to emerge in fashion in decades—Kate, Marc, and McQueen—and show why the conditions in the 1990s were perfect for their rise…but also helped contribute to their personal struggles.Steeped in the creative brew of art, decadence, and genius that defined the era, Champagne Supernovas is a “titillating ride through the fashion world” (Elle) that offers readers front-row tickets to a gloriously debauched soap opera about the losers and freaks who became the industry’s It Girls and Boys…and who changed the larger culture forever.
