Peach Slices
"The Desert Peach" is Pfirsich Rommel, the fictional homosexual younger brother of Erwin "The Desert Fox" Rommel. Early issues of the comic focused on the Peach's command of a misfit unit of the Afrika Korps in North Africa during World War II; subsequent issues explored the pre- and post-war lives of Pfirsich (German for "Peach").

The Peach Heroes
The Peach Tree Project began 25 years ago with The Peach Tree newsletter. This was just a simple rag sheet of what little I had learned about my research of Peach genealogy. I had no intention of this newsletter going anywhere but to the 24 people who first received it. It was an innocent attempt to try to make contact with others whom I thought might be interested in this subject. Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine how this would become a lifetime project and touch the homes of thousands of Peach descendants all over the world. Now 25 years later, the 150th Issue of The Peach Tree newsletter has become a reality. This book is about our Peach Heroes. Originally, all I could think about...

Donna Barr's the Desert Peach
Stories about Pfirsich Rommel, the fictional gay younger brother of the Desert Fox.
The Desert Peach Collection, Volume One
"The Desert Peach is such an original work. Most of the stories take place during WWII, in North Africa, among German soldiers under the command of Colonel Pfirsich Rommel, the brother of Erwin Rommel, the famous 'Desert Fox.' Pfirsich is probably one of the most interesting characters in comics. If only all fiction tried to be as honest and open-minded as this, I'm naive enough to think, the world would be a better place. After all, fiction shapes our dreams and aspirations. And we could all do worse than let ourselves dream of having tea in the North African desert with a man as utterly charming as Pfirsich Rommel." -- Francois Peneaud: The Gay Comics List
Mental health social work re-imagined
Taking a critical and radical approach, this book calls for a return to mental health social work that has personal relationships and an emotional connection between workers and those experiencing distress at its core. The optimism that underpinned the development of community care policies has dissipated to be replaced by a form of bleak managerialism. Neoliberalism has added stress to services already under great pressure and created a danger that we could revert to institutional forms of care. This much-needed book argues that the original progressive values of community care policies need to be rediscovered, updated and reinvigorated to provide a basis for a mental health social work that returns to fundamental notions of dignity and citizenship.
