  “Rope. Tree. Journalist. Some assembly required.” 
  By the time a photographer spotted these words on a shirt at a campaign rally for Donald Trump in November 2016, it had long been clear that a growing number of Americans had not-so-subtle reservations about journalists. In an age that some demonize the media as an “enemy of the people,” it’s time for a heart-to-heart about what journalism is, and what it could be. And while we break down the news business, let’s also bake some bread. 
  In Kneading Journalism, award-winning international journalist Tony Ganzer provides an insider's view of the Fourth Estate through compelling personal narratives and keen insights. Essays transport the reader from a bread riot before the French Revolution, to the inside of Germany’s public media and bread industries, to the streets of post-revolutionary Cairo, all while exploring the who, what, and why of journalism. 
  Kneading Journalism provides readers bite-sized thoughts on journalism and society, and basic bread recipes for any level of baker. 
  Before we can break bread, we need to bake bread.

  Sex, death, nature, and the "feminine": an autofiction romance in four acts. 
   
   
   
  Your Body of Water is an interweaving of autofiction with hydro-feminist mythologies, exploring via the emotional landscapes of four rivers and four "tragic feminine characters" (Ophelia, Leda, the Lady of Shalott, and Sappho) the author's own real life journey, with a dose of tongue-in-cheek humor—through coming out in Australia, an abusive relationship in Berlin, and navigating queer love in the context of a world literally burning around us—and finding hope for the future in the stories of her ancestors before her.

  Step into a Journey of Heartwarming Americana 
   
  Imagine the lush, rolling hills of Pennsylvania, where a young girl runs free, her feet kissing the earth with every step. Barefoot in the Hills: A Country Girl's Tale is your personal invitation to walk alongside Emily, whose story unfolds with the wild spirit of nature itself. 
   
  Born into a life that threads through the seasons, Emily's early years blossom with pure, childlike wonder. As a tomboy deeply connected to her older brother and the land that holds their childhoods, her heart beats to the rhythm of the countryside. Dive into her adventures across the family farm, where fireflies dance and creeks murmur secrets only a country girl would understand. 
   
  When a profound loss calls her back to her roots, Emily must grapple with the essence of who she has become. As she rebuilds the bridge between her past and present, you will feel the resilience of her spirit and the strength of the bonds that tie her to the hills of her heritage. 
   
  Each chapter of her life—meticulously chronicled in these pages—brings new adventures, relationships, and personal growth. As Emily treads the delicate balance between preservation and change, Barefoot in the Hills offers not just a story, but a sensory experience. Embrace the lessons of living close to nature, discover heartfelt traditions, and indulge in the comfort of rural recipes. 
   
  Join Emily as she shares her tale with a new generation, her barefoot journey lingering in the soul like the eternal hills that made her. It's an epic for anyone who's ever yearned for simplicity, for love, and for a place to call home.

  Philosophies of Language and...

  This book bundle contains the following three titles:  
  - Derrida: Jacques Derrida, one of the most influential philosophers of the 20th century, revolutionized the way we think about language, meaning, and interpretation. His development of the concept of deconstruction has left a profound impact on philosophy, literary theory, and critical thought. To understand Derrida's legacy, it is essential to explore the key elements of his intellectual journey and how his ideas continue to shape contemporary discourse. 
  - Deconstructionism: Deconstructionism emerged in the late 20th century as a philosophical and literary movement that fundamentally questioned the nature of meaning, language, and interpretation. It is primarily associated with the work of French philosopher Jacques Derrida, who, in the 1960s and 1970s, began to develop ideas that would challenge long-held assumptions in philosophy, literary theory, and critical thought. The movement was a response to structuralism, which sought to uncover the underlying structures that govern language and society. In contrast, deconstruction aimed to show that meaning is inherently unstable and that texts and concepts can never be fully fixed or understood in a singular, unchanging way. 
  - Michel Foucault: Michel Foucault, a French philosopher, historian, and social theorist, is renowned for his critical exploration of power, knowledge, and social institutions. Born in 1926, Foucault’s work spans a range of disciplines, from philosophy to sociology, psychology, and political science. His intellectual journey reflects a unique approach to understanding human societies, focusing not on abstract metaphysical systems but on the structures that shape human behavior, knowledge, and institutions.
