American Prince: My Autobiography
He has appeared in over a hundred films. Elvis copied his looks. The Beatles put him on the cover of Sgt. Pepper. Tony Curtis is without question a Hollywood legend and part of its Golden Age. In American Prince he tells the whole story, from his hard-knock childhood growing up in the Bronx to his wild days as a Hollywood playboy, his destructive drug addiction and his life now as an artist in his eighties. He talks frankly about the people he has known during his long and illustrious career, from the studio owners and directors to his famous friends, such as Jack Lemmon, Cary Grant and James Dean, and the women in his life, including Janet Leigh and Natalie Wood.
Forthright and enthralling, and sparing no detail and no ego, American Prince is the true record of a life lived to the full.

Disrupted Realism: Paintings for a Distracted World
Disrupted Realism is the first book to survey the works of contemporary painters who are challenging and reshaping the tradition of Realism. Helping art lovers, collectors, and artists approach and understand this compelling new phenomenon, it includes the works of 38 artists whose paintings respond to the subjectivity and disruptions of modern experience. Widely published author and blogger John Seed, who believes that we are “”the most distracted society in the history of the world,”” has selected artists he sees as visionaries in this developing movement. The artists’ impulses toward disruption are as individual as the artists themselves, but all share the need to include perception and emotion in their artistic process. Six sections lay out and analyze common themes: “”Toward Abstraction,”” “”Disrupted Bodies,”” “”Emotions and Identities,”” “”Myths and Visions,”” “”Patterns, Planes, and Formations,”” and “”Between Painting and Photography.”” Interviews with each artist offer additional insight into some of the most incisive and relevant painting being created today.Read more

Now Clay and Saffy are living their lives quietly far away from the rest of the world for everyone’s safety, but their peaceful existence can’t last forever. Soon the knock at the door that Saffy has been dreading arrives and despite her best efforts they are about to get dragged back into the darkness again.
Lulu has set about regaining her grandfather’s crown as the kingpin of the city’s underworld. While Clay views the dark gift that they were given as a curse, she has used it to build her own enforcers tasked with taking one bloody street at a time. But she’s not the only one with eyes on the grand prize.

Clay has spent the past year learning to control the beast inside him, now in order to save the people he loves he’s going to have to let it off the leash and pray that only the guilty die.

What happens when evil runs in the family? Uncover the chilling true story of Sante and Kenny Kimes—a deadly duo whose twisted bond turned into a terrifying crime spree that shocked the nation.
Sante Kimes lived her whole life in callous disregard for others. Like a true narcissist, all she worried about was her own selfish desires, and every effort she made was purely for her profit and self-gain.

Unburdened by any sense of right and wrong, these two did whatever they could to progress themselves in evil doings. They faked fires to rake in insurance money; they filed fabricated and false lawsuits; and ultimately, they committed murder—all for their own pleasure and enrichment.
From the questionable deaths of relatives to mysteriously vanishing bankers, gunned down insurance brokers, and finally, the horrific sight of Kenny Jr. running down a busy New York sidewalk with a suitcase dripping blood—this book chronicles every step taken in the deviant lives of Sante and Kenny Kimes.

But when Sister Bronwyn is dismissed over her unconventional approach to aged care, they must join forces – and very slowly, an unlikely, unexpected friendship begins to grow.

The Language of Kindness: The No. 1 Sunday Times bestselling nursing memoir
Read Costa Award-winning author Christie Watson’s incredible No. 1 Sunday Times bestselling memoir of nursing today.
‘It made me cry. It made me think. It made me laugh’ Adam Kay, author of This is Going to Hurt and Twas the Nightshift Before Christmas
Christie Watson was a nurse for twenty years. Taking us from birth to death and from A&E to the mortuary, The Language of Kindness is an astounding account of a profession defined by acts of care, compassion and kindness.
We watch Christie as she nurses a premature baby who has miraculously made it through the night, we stand by her side during her patient’s agonising heart-lung transplant, and we hold our breath as she washes the hair of a child fatally injured in a fire, attempting to remove the toxic smell of smoke before the grieving family arrive.
In our most extreme moments, when life is lived most intensely, Christie is with us. She is a guide, mentor and friend. And in these dark days of division and isolationism, she encourages us all to stretch out a hand.

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.’
