  In the 1990s, long before “Women in Tech” was a hashtag, Carol forged her technical career in server rooms and offices where she was the only woman. 
  In this memoir, Carol looks back on a 35-year, globe-crossing IT career that took her through the dawn of the internet, the machinations of the commercial sector, a celebrity dot-com, and an eye-opening job as a technical gun-for-hire.  
  In an industry known for both gender and age bias, Carol still has her hands on the tech well into her fifties. In this candid and engaging account, she relates how she’s done it by channeling the outspokenness and do-it-yourself ethos of the grunge era Riot Grrrls. 
  This is the story of how Carol became the original IT Grrrl.

  Winner of the 2015 New Welsh Writing Awards: WWF Cymru Prize for Writing on Nature and the Environment
  Shortlisted for the 2016 Wales Book of the Year: The Open University in Wales Creative Non-Fiction Award
  'Eluned Gramich has written the perfect essay - a minutely detailed yet nuanced evocation of place and personalities that is full of ecologically precise imagery and is as attentive to the Japanese language as it is to Hokkaidan landscape.' – Mark Cocker
  As precise and nuanced as Japanese calligraphy, this memoir of the author's stay on the remote Hokkaido island in the far north of Japan, has at its heart the mountain, Yotei-san, the region's iconic equivalent to Mount Fuji. As much about learning a language (with connotations of 'reading' a wild landscape) as it is about nature, this dignified and nuanced work evokes what is cultured and cultivated, and yet also honours the wild; the untranslatable. With its themes of seasonal transformation, the peripheral, folklore, loneliness and learning to belong, this work takes a personal philosophical stance in relation to the centre and the periphery.
  '"Eluned Gramich" is a name to hear time and again in the future. [This writing] is as good as we the jurors have ever read... short but perfectly formed... absolutely perfect.' – Justin Albert
  'Quite beautiful. [The author encounters a culture that is completely alien] and she does it with a poet's eye... precisely and vitally. She reads this unfamiliarity with all her imaginative nerve-endings open: the effect is quite remarkable...' – Tony Brown
  'Most rewarding is the philosophical approach... [Gramich's] embracing of... cultural multiplicity, fluidity and adaptability... suits perfectly the changing boundaries of our modern world.' – Wales Arts Review

  Hot Seat — Hot City - The Austin...

  Mayor Adler of Austin had no place to hide.
  
  • A serial bomber terrorizes the fastest-growing U.S. city.
  • A pandemic kills people and shuts down the economy.
  • Homeless encampments take over parks and civic debate.
  • A city is at war with itself over policing and race.
  • Affordability and housing costs explode.
  • A city navigates unprecedented political polarization.
  
  From 2015 to 2023, every crisis landed on the Austin mayor’s desk—and every decision carried immediate, real-world consequences. Hot Seat—Hot City is Adler’s unflinching, first-person account of what governing actually looks like when there are no great options. Not a campaign memoir or partisan argument—this is written by someone accountable for outcomes, not rhetoric.
  
  As national politics grows more dysfunctional, cities have become the front line of American democracy. Mayors absorb the consequences of failures they didn’t create, forced to make real-time decisions under intense public scrutiny. This is the story of mayors everywhere, and 48 U.S. mayors have put their names behind it.
  
  This book is a clear-eyed look at what democratic leadership demands when consensus is elusive, institutions are strained, and the stakes are high.

  Equine behavior specialist Shelby Dennis challenges traditional horse training with a science–backed, force–free approach that builds trust and partnership between horse and rider, debunking myths and exploring the deeper behavior and communication of horses. 
  Secrets of the Horse is a groundbreaking guide for anyone seeking a deeper, more compassionate connection with their horse. Shelby Dennis challenges outdated training methods and misconceptions, offering a fresh, science–backed approach that prioritizes mutual understanding and trust between horse and rider. By placing horse behavior in the context of natural instincts and emotional intelligence, Dennis dismantles the long–held dominance theory, emphasizing the importance of observing and interpreting a horse’s behavior in real–world settings—not just during training sessions. This book is a call for an overhaul of modern horse training, pushing for a shift from force–based tactics to approaches grounded in empathy, patience, and partnership. 
  Dennis delves into her own experience of the intersections between neurodivergence and interspecies communication, revealing how understanding these dynamics has transformed the way she approaches horses. She explores how ego death plays a critical role in one’s training mindset and why horses think and communicate differently from humans. Secrets of the Horse also provides invaluable insights into the subtleties of horse body language, calming signals, displacement behaviors, and stress cues—tools that empower riders to recognize when a horse is overwhelmed, uncomfortable, or in need of support. With practical advice and thought–provoking ideas, Dennis offers an innovative new road map for the next generation of horse enthusiasts.
