writes her zine, DORIS, like she is figuring out the human condition.
She makes writing about the simplest and most common things - playing
music, childhood, cooking, or sex- resonate with universal
understanding. She helps us make sense of more complex things like the
satisfaction from doing useful work, natural curiosity, the ability to
use logic, gender dynamics, introspection, the need for challenge and
change, combating depression, and creating art and literature. She
shares and explores the emotions that go along with having an abortion,
rape, dealing with the death of family, or sexual harrassment in a
context that is enlightening and personal, feeling like a close friend
opening up to you. What's most impressive though is that she relates
these things into every article in her zine seamlessly.320 sivua, 6,5x8", 12 € Everywhere All The Time (Matt Hern)  Education
discussions revolve around standardized testing, funding,
certification—but never how to best help kids learn. Here we have some
great historical and contemporary alternatives to school, demonstrating
children's decreasing ability to learn as they enter school. Schools
fail to teach kids to be self-directed life-learners; stifling
creativity. At the same time, deschooling offers self-directed learning
strategies for children, encourages community-building, builds critical
thinking for active engagement and democratic self-governance, and
alleviates the negative psychological effects of traditional schooling
methods.274 sivua, 15 € Expect Resistance (CrimethInc)  Expect
Resistance is not one but three books, each of which may be read as a
complete work unto itself. The first book, printed in standard black
ink, continues the inquiry into modern life and its discontents begun
in Days of War, Nights of Love. Just as that book included improved
versions of texts originally published between 1996 and 1999, this book
draws on CrimethInc. material from 2000 to 2004, painstakingly refined
and augmented with a great deal of new content. The second book, in red
ink, is a composite account, related by three narrators, of the
adventures and tribulations that inevitably ensue when people pursuing
their dreams enter into conflict with the world as it is.Together these comprise a third book, an exploration of the complex relationship between ideals and reality. Expect Resistance is a field manual for a field on which all manuals are useless, a meditation on individual transformation and collective resistance in disastrous times, and a masterpiece that raises the bar for radical publishing. http://crimethinc.com/books/er.html 346 sivua, 8 € Fixed: Global Fixed-Gear Bike Culture (Andrew Edwards & Max Leonard)  Fixed-wheel
cycling has today become the coolest form of urban transport, giving
rise to a global fixed-wheel culture. Fixed is the first book to
document fixed-wheel culture. The authors have travelled to cities
around the world to examine at first hand the intersections between the
fixed-wheel bikes design and its racing heritage, and the street style
and customisation that are at the heart of its current popularity.
Interviews with sports-people, frame-builders and those at nexus of
design, art and fixed-wheel culture give an insight into fixed-wheel
design, philosophy and riding experience. The book will appeal to
cyclists fixedwheel riders, urban riders, racers and those interested
in cycling heritage as well as to a wider design audience. 144 sivua, 19 € Gardening When It Counts (Steve Solomon)  Gardening
When It Counts helps readers rediscover traditional low-input gardening
methods to produce healthy food. Designed for readers with no
experience and applicable to most areas in the English-speaking world
except the tropics and hot deserts, this book shows that any family
with access to 3-5,000 sq. ft. of garden land can halve their food
costs using a growing system requiring just the odd bucketful of
household waste water, perhaps two hundred dollars worth of hand tools,
and about the same amount spent on supplies - working an average of two
hours a day during the growing season.340 sivua, 16 € 8 € Guerrilla Gardening: A Manualfesto (David Tracey)  An

parenting, sisterhood, and the role of men in the feminist struggle are

informative.329 sivua, 14 € Mythmakers and Lawbreakers: Anarchist Writers On Fiction (Margaret Killjoy)  The
best fiction has always been a little...dangerous. For centuries,
authors have used the veil of fiction to cast a critical eye toward the
larger society around them: think of Emile Zola, Victor Hugo, Issac
Asimov, Margaret Atwood, Aldous Huxley, J.R.R. Tolkien, H.G. Wells,
Mary Shelley, and beyond. And now, for the first time, some of the
biggest names in contemporary fiction discuss the endless possibilities

history of those that came before them?! Icky A. interviews "Anarchy: A
Graphic Guide's" Clifford Harper. Erick Lyle takes a walk through the
stenciled streets of Argentina. Meredith Stern contributes a wonderful
series of interviews with over a dozen contemporary political artists,
unfortunately cut down from the original 60 pages she collected.

consulted material in five languages and archives worldwide to present
a picture of the philosophers, bomb throwers, peasants and soldiers who
fought and died for the freedom of "Mother Russia." Including the
influence and ideas of Bakunin and Kropotkin, the armed uprisings of
Makhno, the activities of Volin, Maximoff, and the attempted aid of
Berkman and Emma Goldman. In the turmoil of Russian insurrection in
1905 and civil war of 1917, the anarchists attempted their program of
"direct action"—workers' control of production, the creation of free
rural and urban communes, and partisan warfare against the enemies of a
free society.303 sivua, 16 € Sick: A Compilation Zine on Physical Illness (Ben Holzman)  Sick

themselves. Contributors discuss personal experiences as well as topics
such as receiving support, providing support, and being an informed
patient. These writings are meant to increase understandings of illness
and further discussion as well as action towards building communities
of care.87 sivua, 6 € 3 € Street Logos (Tristan Manco)  In
the past decade, many graffiti artists have moved away from tagging or
painting their signatures. Instead, they make their make pictograms
that become personal trademarks. Thus, a Belgian artist known as Plug
appends large, cartoon electric plugs to machines in public places,
while Cha, an academy-trained painter, adorns the walls of Barcelona
with Picasso-influenced cats. Manco's colorful survey of this DIY
subculture spotlights some seventy artists working in the service of an
impulse that is variously subversive, ironic, pop, celebratory, and
dogmatic. In this medium, recognition is everything, and Manco's
subjects are heavily influenced by the use of advertising logos; Banksy
terms his work "Brandalism." Exuberantly inventive, these folks enjoy
responding to, and even altering, each other's work, to form what the
New York-based artist Swoon calls a "community of actions."127 sivua, 14 € Swallow Me Whole (Nate Powell)  "Swallow
Me Whole" is Nate Powell's long awaited follow up to "Sounds of Your
Name"! It's a dark twisty story of childhood schizophrenia, and its
ability to devour a person's reality. It follows the story of Ruth, a
young girl who hears voices. These voices encourage her to build an
animal kingdom in her bedroom with disastrous results. Stories are
woven in about Ruth's family - her sick grandmother, and her brother,
who often hear voices themselves. This book's consistent with the rest
of Nate's work, possessing a dreamy quality in which a lot must be
inferred from visual cues. It's an absolutely beautiful graphic novel.224 sivua, 6 3/4"x9 3/4", 16 € 8 € What We Leave Behind (Derrick Jensen)  What
We Leave Behind is a piercing, impassioned guide to living a truly
responsible life on earth. Human waste, once considered a gift to the
soil, has become toxic material that has broken the essential cycle of
decay and regeneration. Here, award-winning author Derrick Jensen and
activist Aric McBay weave historical analysis and beautiful prose to
remind us that life—human and nonhuman—will not go on unless we do
everything we can to facilitate the most basic process on earth, the
root of sustainability: one being's waste must always become another
being's food.453 sivua, 6x9", 20 € We Don't Need Another Wave (Melody Berger)  A
whiz bang collection of essays, poems, short stories and personal
histories from the newest, sharpest feminist voices. These writings

overreaching theme of dissolving lines and uniting for a greater good
and a stronger fight. As editor Melody Berger writes, "We don't need
another wave. We need a movement." A definite must-read, especially for
young women looking to get psyched on their rights.319 sivua, 14 € |
