Design Moments by Chris Pearson
"I'm fascinated by the creative process and the 'eureka' moment behind the innovations and designs we know and love." - Author, Chris Pearson "Chris Pearson's monthly column, Design Moments, has appeared in Australian House & Garden magazine for five years. Each one zeroes in on the A-ha moment that led to a design or concept that changed the world. Beautifully art directed and meticulously researched, this book is must-have for anyone with an interest in design and the innovations that have influenced the way we live." -Lisa Green, Editor in Chief, Australian House & Garden
Dogopolis
Dogopolis presents a surprising source for urban innovation in the history of three major cities: human-canine relationships. Stroll through any American or European city today and you probably won’t get far before seeing a dog being taken for a walk. It’s expected that these domesticated animals can easily navigate sidewalks, streets, and other foundational elements of our built environment. But what if our cities were actually shaped in response to dogs more than we ever realized? Chris Pearson’s Dogopolis boldly and convincingly asserts that human-canine relations were a crucial factor in the formation of modern urban living. Focusing on New York, London, and Paris from the early ni...
Superbug
LURKING in our homes, hospitals, schools, and farms is a terrifying pathogen that is evolving faster than the medical community can track it or drug developers can create antibiotics to quell it. That pathogen is MRSA—methicillin-resistant Staphyloccocus aureus—and Superbug is the first book to tell the story of its shocking spread and the alarming danger it poses to us all. Doctors long thought that MRSA was confined to hospitals and clinics, infecting almost exclusively those who were either already ill or old. But through remarkable reporting, including hundreds of interviews with the leading researchers and doctors tracking the deadly bacterium, acclaimed science journalist Maryn McK...
The English Are Odd
The poems in this collection date from different times, and reflect different inspirations. The oldest poems in the collection are 'Peking Theatre' and 'Some Antics', both of which date back to the mid-1980s, when the writer, Chris Pearson,was working as an English teacher/lecturer in Beijing. Some of them, including the two entitled 'The English are Odd' are quite recent; the Christmas poems are also hot off the press. A few of them, such as 'The Human Biology Exam' and 'The Cricket Box', tell stories. 'We Call It the Great War' was written to commemorate the hundredth anniversary of the start of World War I. Some of the poems are meant to be funny. Others are more serious. One or two, such as 'Exile', are sad and funny at the same time. They are an odd mixture, but everyone who reads the book will find something to appeal to them.

Collared
'Essential reading' John Bradshaw, author of In Defence of Dogs 'Fascinating' Telegraph 'Funny, irreverent and enthusiastic, [Pearson] parades his love for all things canine' The Times 'Thought-provoking and often surprising' Country Life Dogs are our constant companions: models of loyalty and unconditional love for millions around the world. But these beloved animals are much more than just our pets - and our shared history is far richer and more complex than you might assume. Here, historian and dog lover Chris Pearson reveals how the shifting fortunes of dogs hold a mirror to our changing society, from the evolution of breeding standards to the fight for animal rights. Wherever humans have gone, dogs have followed, changing size, appearance and even jobs along the way - from the forests of medieval Europe, where greyhounds chased down game for royalty, to the frontlines of twentieth-century conflicts, where dogs carried messages and hauled gun carriages. Despite vast social change, however, the power of the human-canine bond has never diminished. By turns charming, thought-provoking and surprising, Collared reveals the fascinating tale of how we made the modern dog.
