Out of Calamity
All the people in these stories are unsung heroes. Their stories are true. To honour their privacy, most of the individuals profiled bear fictitious names; a few are composite characters. They have suffered severe trauma, the consequences of which have affected every aspect of their lives, as well as those of family and friends. They demonstrate great, if not superhuman, courage and resilience and never seek or expect applause. Over time, day-by-day, they endeavour to cope with loss, bid to reclaim lost skills, and unheralded, make significant contributions to society. 'Out of Calamity' stories and portraits are told in language that is realistic but also poetic, and demonstrate heroic dimensions even when people appear overwhelmed. Superbly crafted writing that is often raw but also eloquent, spare and affecting, these stories are gems replete with insight and compassion.

My Favorite Leopard
When a movie star with a fierce secret meets an animal handler chasing his big break, sparks (and plenty of fur) fly… With a flourishing career as golden-era Hollywood’s leading femme fatale, Lina Leonard has never regretted leaving her place among a line of magical feline protectors—or suppressing her ability to shift into a leopard at will. But when her past comes calling, on the same day she runs into a handsome cat wrangler, she finds herself tempted to make more than just movie magic. Tony Benson only wants to land a prestigious gig as an animal trainer at Phoenix Pictures and secure the funding he needs to continue helping the critters under his care—especially Betty, the gentle leopard he rescued as a cub. The last thing he expects is for his favorite noir dame to soothe his rough edges and enflame his desires. Lina and Tony’s incendiary chemistry is nearly tamed by a herd of kittens, a pair of lovelorn leopards, and a dodgy circus owner. But with a little real magic, and a lot of trust in one another, they might just become a purrfect team.
Global Dance Cultures in the 1970s and 1980s
This book explores some of disco’s other lives which thrived between the 1970s and the 1980s, from oil-boom Nigeria to socialist Czechoslovakia, from post-colonial India to war-torn Lebanon. It charts the translation of disco as a cultural form into musical, geo-political, ideological and sociological landscapes that fall outside of its original conditions of production and reception, capturing the variety of scenes, contexts and reasons for which disco took on diverse dimensions in its global journey. With its deep repercussions in visual culture, gender politics, and successive forms of popular music, art, fashion and style, disco as a musical genre and dance culture is exemplary of how ...
