Queer lives give rise to a vast array of objects: the things we
fill our houses with, the gifts we share with our friends, the
commodities we consume at work and at play, the clothes and
accessories we wear, and the analogue and digital technologies we
use to communicate with one another. But what makes an object
queer? The sixty-three chapters in Queer Objects consider this
question in relation to lesbian, gay and transgender communities
across time, cultures and space. In this unique international
collaboration, well-known and newer writers traverse world history
to write about items ranging from ancient Egyptian tomb paintings
and Roman artefacts to political placards, snapshots, sex toys and
the smartphone. Fabulous, captivating, transgressive. -- .

The aim of this book is to describe some aspects of the chemistry
and chemical ecology which are found in the garden. In the garden
there are numerous interactions between plants, the soil and with
other organisms in which chemistry plays a central mediating role.
The discussion concerns several of the chemically and ecologically
interesting compounds that are produced by common ornamental garden
plants and vegetables and by the predators that attack them. Many
chemists are amateur gardeners and this book is directed at them as
well as those with a general interest in the scientific processes
involved in the garden.
