Absolutely Mardi Gras
Every year the world-famous Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras parade transforms the streets of Sydney into a colorful and noisy spectacle, celebrating the pride, diversity and creativity of gay men and lesbians. Absolutely Mardi Gras focuses for the first time on the (often overlooked) extraordinary costumes that are made for Mardi Gras. Not only does it showcase some of the most prominent designers, but it also goes behind the scenes of the Mardi Gras Workshop, where so many of these wonderful creations have been meticulously planned, designed and brought to fruition. This stunning book is beautifully illustrated throughout with fantastic photography, making Absolutely Mardi Gras an essential guide to the ins and outs of the Sydney Mardi Gras.

Feast
Is sharing food such an everyday, unremarkable occurrence? In fact, the human tendency to sit together peacefully over food is actually rather an extraordinary phenomenon, and one which many species find impossible. It is also a pheonomenon with far-reaching consequences for the global environment and human social evolution. So how did this strange and powerful behaviour come about? In Feast, Martin Jones uses the latest archaeological methods to illuminate how humans came to share food in the first place and how the human meal has developed since then. From the earliest evidence of human consumption around half a million years ago to the era of the TV dinner and the drive-through diner, this fascinating account unfolds the history of the human meal and its huge impact both on human society and the ecology of the planet.
