Exploring the National Parks across the United States is an opportunity that should not be taken for granted. To understand the profound notion of stewardship, in terms of responsibility and accountability, we must know the land as intimately as possible. This album seeks to further nurture the seed planted in Volume 1 of the series. Captured in photographs are views of eight parks around the country with poetry, journaled notes, and essays which catalogue the author’s experiences and thoughts while traveling through them.

A very John Waters traveling show, replete with freaks, robbery, murder, sex, blasphemy, and savage shellfish—a lurid, surreal celebration of filth and trash. Listen as Waters himself acts out each role!The Cavalcade of Perversion is a traveling show run by Lady Divine and a crew of her fellow degenerates. They have to drag suburban housewives into each vile, tasteless performance—only to rob them at gunpoint at the end of each show. When Divine gets bored of the routine and graduates to murdering the attendees one day, it sets her off on a rampage, hunting down her cheating lover, Mr. David, and unleashing a chain of frenzy, a truly blasphemous sex act, and a surreal violation by a giant lobster. Multiple Maniacs is John Waters’ paean to the glories of trash. As Lady Divine chants as she marches proudly into downtown Baltimore at the end of the movie, “I’m a maniac! A maniac that cannot be cured! O Divine, I am Di-vine!”Multiple Maniacs is available in audio here, on its own, or in the The John Waters Screenplay Collection where you can also listen to Waters narrate this iconic film along with five of his other masterpieces, including Pink Flamingos, Hairspray, Flamingos Forever, Female Trouble, and Desperate Living. A Macmillan Audio production from Farrar, Straus and GirouxZum Buch

"Modern Nations: The Making of Australia, New Zealand, and Māori Identity (2 in 1)" explores the transformative journey of two nations as they evolved from colonial settlements into independent, modern states, while also examining the ongoing struggle for recognition and identity among Indigenous communities. This two-part volume captures the complex and often challenging histories that shaped Australia and New Zealand, revealing how these countries forged their national identities amidst cultural clashes, political shifts, and social change. The first section, The Making of Modern New Zealand, traces New Zealand's path from British colony to sovereign nation, highlighting the impact of European settlement, the Treaty of Waitangi, and the ongoing fight for Māori rights and cultural preservation. The second section, History of Australia, explores the formation of modern Australia — from its origins as a British penal colony to its emergence as a diverse and independent nation — while also acknowledging the profound and lasting effects of colonization on Aboriginal communities. Together, these narratives provide a comprehensive understanding of how colonial histories, Indigenous resistance, and nation-building efforts have shaped the modern identities of Australia, New Zealand, and their Indigenous peoples. This book is an essential resource for anyone seeking to understand the dynamic and often contested histories that continue to influence these nations today.Zum Buch
