From beloved comic artist, author of Candy Hearts, musician, and serious birder Tommy Siegel (Instagram 331K, Facebook 106K) comes a delightfully illustrated parody guide to common backyard birds, featuring the author's signature "extremely accurate" bird drawings (which have spawned a viral online sensation and top-selling self-published calendars) in which the birds have human-like butts, legs, and feet, accompanied by real bird facts and birding tips written in a hilarious voice.There's a reason brilliant naturalists from Audubon to Sibley have relied on illustration to bring birds to life on the page: Birds move remarkably fast and are often obscured by foliage; it would be nearly impossible to photograph them. But birding enthusiast and comic artist Tommy Siegel noticed a theme in these artists' guides: Their renderings focus too heavily on birds' wings and plumage while reducing their lower limbs to simple sticks. Could birds really achieve such varied feats of athleticism and migratory endurance if they had such rudimentary legs?Now, Tommy is poised to revolutionize the field of ornithology with his interpretation of how birds' beautiful legs and posteriors must truly appear (based on educated scientific guesses gleaned from observing their behavior in the field). The result is Extremely Accurate Birds, perhaps the most anatomically precise collection of bird illustrations ever assembled. Pairing his trailblazing bird drawings with (actually accurate, for real) birding tips on more than eighty common species found across North America, Tommy has created an essential addition to any birder's shelf.

Author of Take Back the Magic and co-founder of the beloved non-denominational fellowship The Way of the Rose Perdita Finn offers a profound invitation to remember and recover the power, presence, and wisdom of the Mother Figure. At a time when so many of us feel unmoored from guidance, care, and belonging, Mothers of Magic is a profound call to return to our deepest sources of knowledge, nourishment, and kinship.When Perdita Finn found herself at a crossroads with her health, she embarked on a search for healing that led her to confront a heritage of misogyny and violence-and to summon the wisdom of her ancestors to unravel the trauma woven into her story and the story of civilization itself. Braiding memoir with cultural history, Finn introduces readers to a pantheon of maternal figures, from the loving spirit of St. Anne and the defiant courage of Joan of Arc to the very Earth itself, who have long offered refuge, instruction, and love. Through these stories and her own journey of transformation, Finn reveals what becomes possible when we recover an ecological feminism that restores our relationship with our bodies, our mothers, and the body of our world.

For generations, members of the LGBTQ+ community in Hollywood needed to be "discreet" about their lives but-make no mistake-they were everywhere, both in front of and behind the camera. On the eve the 20th century, in Thomas Edison's laboratory, one of the earliest attempts at a sound film depicted two men dancing together as a third plays the violin. It's only a few minutes long, but this cornerstone of early cinema captures a queer moment on film. It would not be the last.Hollywood Pride is a tale spanning from "pansy craze" of the 1930s to the New Queer Cinema of the 1990s, all the way up to today. It deals with the hard-working actors, writers, directors, producers, cinematographers, art directors, and choreographers whose achievements defined the American film industry, as well as charting the evolution of LGBTQ+ storytelling itself-the way that mainstream Hollywood decided it would portray (or erase) their lives and the narratives created by queer filmmakers who fought to tell those stories themselves.Along the way, readers will encounter a fascinating cast of characters, such as the first generation of queer actors, including J. Warren Kerrigan, Ramon Novarro, William Haines, and Lilyan Tashman. Early cinema pioneers like Alla Nazimova and F.W. Murnau helped shape the new medium of moving pictures. The sex symbols, both male (Rock Hudson, Tab Hunter, and Anthony Perkins) and female (Lizbeth Scott and Greta Garbo), lived under the threat of their private lives undermining their public personas. Underground filmmakers Kenneth Anger and John Waters made huge strides in LGBTQ+ representation with their off-off-Hollywood productions in the 1960s and '70s. These screen legends paved the way for the likes of Billy Porter, Laverne Cox, Kimberly Peirce, Elliot Paige, Bowen Yang, and every other openly queer figure in twenty-first century Hollywood.?Illustrated by more than 100 full-colour and black-and-white images, Hollywood Pride charts the future of the LGBTQ+ community in cinema by revealing the story of its triumphs and tragedies, its inclusion and erasure, and its visibility and invisibility.
