  • Sneaker Freaker. The Ultimate Sneaker Book

    07

    Back in 2002, Simon “Woody” Wood was dreaming up schemes to get free sneakers. Two weeks later, he was the proud owner of Sneaker Freaker and his life was never the same. From its early roots as a punk-style fanzine to today’s super-slick print and online operations, the fiercely independent publication has documented every collab, custom, limited edition, retro reissue, Quickstrike, Hyperstrike, and Tier Zero sneaker released over the last 15 years. Woody’s original premise that Sneaker Freaker would be “funny and serious, meaningful and pointless at the same time” has certainly been vindicated in The Ultimate Sneaker Book. With more than 650 pages jam-packed with insider knowledge and his own irreverent observations, the insane historical detail and otaku-level minutiae is beyond obsessive. Traversing 100 years of history, each chapter paints a rollicking picture of the sneaker industry’s evolution. Air Max, Air Force, Adi Dassler, Converse, Kanye, Dapper Dan, Dee Brown, Michael Jordan, and Yeezy―along with obscure treasures like Troop, Airwalk, and Vision Street Wear―are all exhaustively documented. This is a definitive source of knowledge. Keep your laces loose!

  • So You’ve Adopted a Sibling: A big sister’s survival guide for big brothers and sisters through adoption of a younger child or baby | Adoption shower … Kinship Care and…

    02
    From the author of award-winning foster care and adoption books Delly Duck, Room in the Nest and other adoption, fostering and kinship care children’s stories, comes an adorably-illustrated story to help elder siblings to adjust to a new sibling joining their family by adoption.

    So You’ve Adopted a Sibling features charming illustrations from Marlow’s daughter, a real 5 year old big sister. The engaging story is told in the voice of a young child who is enjoying being a big sister through adoption, and shares her top tips for other children who have a younger brother or sister who has joined their family through adoption. The story touches upon some of the emotions and changes to routine that children may experience in the early months as a big brother or sister.

    Marlow is a biological and adoptive mother, and understands the challenges faced by parents who adopt after having a biological child. Most children have an established routine by the time they move to their adoptive family, and one of the primary goals of the adoptive family is to try to minimise the changes to this routine during transitions, to help the adopted child to settle in. Marlow found that this meant that there were quite a lot of changes to her biological daughter’s routines, so they worked together to write this story to help other parents to support their children through this.

    This story is suitable for birth/biological children, as well as elder siblings who were adopted/placed in an adoptive family themselves prior to their younger sibling joining the family.

    Praise for Delly Duck: Why A Little Chick Couldn’t Stay With His Birth Mother

    “One of the best Adoption books of all time” – BookAuthority

    “…a beautifully illustrated children’s story book, explaining big issues like adoption and fostering, in an age appropriate way.” – We Made A Wish adoption magazine

    “…Delly Duck is a great choice for adopted and fostered children to explain adoption or support therapeutic life story work. The book can be used to help answer difficult and emotive questions…” – Maggie and Rose Book Adventurers

    “A fantastic book for Parents, Foster Parents, Adoptive Parents, Legal Guardians, Kinship Carers, Social Workers, Play Therapists or Teachers… I can thoroughly recommend this book to anyone who is adopting, fostering, or is a child’s Legal Guardian… I love the way the book shows the love, and loss of the birth parent, and highlights the fact that sometimes a birth parent is simply not equipped with the necessary skills to keep their child safe consistently.
    This beautiful, sensitively written story explains why a child may need to be removed from their birth parent, and explores in a gentle way the emotions felt by parent and child, and the roles other people play in protecting the child, and offering the child a loving, safe environment…” – Icing on the Bake

  • So, I’ve Got Parkinson’s Disease

    08
    Terry Rummins was diagnosed with Parkinson’s 10 years ago. So, I’ve Got Parkinson’s Disease is her story and covers her diagnosis and the progression of the condition – from the first warning tremors in her right hand to her day-to-day life now. When Terry was first diagnosed she didn’t know what to expect, veering wildly between visualising herself in a wheelchair within a few months and not really believing that there was anything wrong with her. Parkinson’s is a paradoxical disorder. ‘On’ and ‘Off’ are terms used to describe the regular and debilitating changes the Parkinson’s person can experience as a result of the interaction between symptoms and medication: from feeling well to the feeling of having aged twenty years in as many minutes. Terry stresses the importance of learning which symptoms are a result of the Parkinson’s itself, which are the results of taking particular drugs and which are as a result of environmental factors such as stress and diet. Terry has written this book in the hope that describing her experience will benefit others who have been diagnosed with Parkinson’s and to help them understand their expectations of how the condition may affect them.

    • Social Media in an English Village: (Or how to keep people at just the right distance) (Why We Post)

      Daniel Miller spent 18 months undertaking an ethnographic study with the residents of an English village, tracking their use of the different social media platforms. Following his study, he argues that a focus on platforms such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram does little to explain what we post on social media. Instead, the key to understanding how people in an English village use social media is to appreciate just how ‘English’ their usage has become. He introduces the ‘Goldilocks Strategy’: how villagers use social media to calibrate precise levels of interaction ensuring that each relationship is neither too cold nor too hot, but ‘just right’.

      He explores the consequences of social media for groups ranging from schoolchildren through to the patients of a hospice, and he compares these connections to more traditional forms of association such as the church and the neighbourhood. Above all, Miller finds an extraordinary clash between new social media that bridges the private and the public domains, and an English sensibility that is all about keeping these two domains separate.

      Praise for Social Media in an English Village

      ‘The book has definitely lived up to my expectations and changed the way I think about social media. … a truly illuminating and recommendable [reading] experience.’
      New Horizons in English Studies

      ‘This fine study is located in anthropology, and there
      will therefore be some jarring interpretations for scholars in internet,
      media, communication and cultural studies. This disciplinary dissonance
      is productive and potent. The concept of “polymedia” proposed
      throughout the book will hold a currency far beyond this monograph and
      series. This concept describes how a network of social media platforms
      is used to build a communication system. Further, the key and
      under-recognised change in social media in the past five years – the
      intensification of visuality in social media through Instagram and
      Snapchat – is handled well. Miller also captures the social function of
      mobile phone cameras: “Taking a photograph has become rather like
      holding a drink – a key mode by which everyone acknowledges how much fun
      they are having.” …Delicately textured case studies entwine around
      this local study, such as the use of social media for people with
      terminal illnesses and resident in hospices. Patients can continue
      conversations with family and friends, particularly with the use of a
      webcam to offer (digital) face to (digital) face support. Miller’s rich
      research unearths how the local use of digital media reveals
      opportunities, strategies and challenges for guarding and freeing the
      spaces between public and private communication.’
      Times Higher Education

      ‘This thought-provoking publication will appeal to both the curious layperson and media scholars, no doubt igniting introspection about our own use of social media.’
      LSE Review of Books

      ‘Based on rich ethnographic data, the book offers vivid examples of the ground-breaking discoveries made in digital anthropology in the past two decades. Miller – a recognised pioneer in this field of study – is profoundly concerned not only with the change that social media have brought to people’s lives but also the change that people make through and with social media. By situating social media in the practices and socialities of people in a particular locality, this highly readable book achieves both empirical and theoretical depth and offers a valuable piece of social science literature for students and scholars interested in social media as ways of attaining ever new possibilities of human experience and social life.’
