Small Steps
As a child, Julie dreamed of being somewhere else, of making a difference. Now, she can't wait to meet the nuns she will live with and the children she will provide physiotherapy for in Ethiopia. But Julie has trouble sticking to convent rules and soon finds herself wondering how much difference a single physio can make anyway. When she takes a teaching role at a university, Julie finally feels closer to fulfilling her dreams – training Ethiopia's first physiotherapists, treating paediatric patients, and losing her heart to a handsome colleague. Then civil unrest reaches the university, forcing Julie's students to choose between their safety and their future. When it comes to being a part of change, why do all steps feel like small steps?
Mechanisms of Desire
Picture a world where large corporations are as powerful as sovereign states. Imagine that some of these large corporations engineer organisms from scratch and that the novel critters can fetch a bundle of dough. No wonder blueprints for these creatures are pilfered and sold in a market of shady enterprises. Now envisage one of these corporations clandestinely hiring you to catch the thieves stealing their prized innovations. Only you find you first have to get past an iconoclastic organization that has taken umbrage to corporate dominance and is shooting back. And they are kittens compared to the crafty varmints who fight to own the establishment and have you caught in the crossfire. How would you feel? Like novice detective Kurt Sprigg. Face to face life or death with the Mechanisms of Desire.

Organic Supplements
From the hair of a famous dead poet to botanical ornaments and meat pies, the subjects of this book are dynamic, organic artifacts. A cross-disciplinary collection of essays, Organic Supplements examines the interlaced relationships between natural things and human beings in early modern and eighteenth-century Europe. The material qualities of things as living organisms--and things that originate from living organisms-- enabled a range of critical actions and experiences to take place for the people who wore, used, consumed, or perceived them.
