Queerness is everywhere and it always has been. But queer stories, culture and communities have been often hidden . . .
Queerbook is an invitation to discover and celebrate queer joy, past and present. It’s a whistlestop tour of all the fun (and serious) queer stuff that the foghorn of straight culture drowns out, and that you deserve to know: heroes and histories, science and stories, art, spaces, music, film, TV, fashion – along with jargon-free breakdowns of terms from sexuality and gender identity, to code-switching, intersectionality, bi-erasure, straightwashing, and much, much more.
You don’t need any specific interests to read Queerbook – all you need is curiosity and a desire to learn more about what it means to be LGBTQ+. So, say no to the Straightrix and enter the technicolour world over the rainbow . . .
Ready? Queer we go!

It's the smile, it's the struggle, Britney is a teen sensation.
Over 20 years in the bright lights of fame, the harsh glare of
public adoration and the ever-present danger of sliding into the
mocking pens of jealous critics but still she carries on. Somehow
she has survived the Michael Jackson effect of early success and
now commands the respect of a new generation of teens. Since 2004,
she has released numerous fragrances, adding up to over 1.5 billion
(yes, billion) in perfume sales and the director's cut version of
her 'Womanizer' video is her most-watched video on YouTube, with
330 million views and counting. From Glee to X-factor, Britney is a
fabulous, popular and enduring star with everyday qualities that
make her fans love her and her music more and more as the years go
by.
David Bowie needs no introduction. An immense star whose music and
writing transcended generations he was one of the most articulate
influencers of modern music. Over fifty years his singles and
albums slid up and down the bestseller charts, adapting to the
changing times, exploring new musical themes, always pushing at
boundaries in a desperate desire to seek out the new and the
different. This fantastic new, unofficial biography covers his
life, music, art and movies.
Excavations in the upper Walbrook valley, in a marginal area in the
north-west of the Roman city, recovered over 70kg of broken vessel
glass and production waste from a nearby workshop, giving new
insights into the workings of the glass industry and its craftsmen.
The area was developed in the early 2nd century AD, with evidence
of domestic buildings and property boundaries. Two later buildings
constructed in the mid 2nd century AD may have been associated with
the glass-working industry. The disposal of a huge amount of
glass-working waste in the later 2nd century signals the demise of
the workshop, with the area reverting to open land by the 3rd
century AD. The comprehensive nature of the glass-working waste has
made it possible to study the various processes - from the
preparation of the raw materials in the form of cullet, broken
vessel and window glass, to the blowing and finishing of the
vessel. All the glass originated ultimately in the eastern
Mediterranean, some of it arriving as raw glass chunks, which was
supplemented by cullet collected locally for recycling. A review of
the current evidence for glass working in London also examines the
implications for the organisation of the industry.
London's Spitalfields Market was the location of one of the city's
largest archaeological excavations, carried out by MOLA between
1991 and 2007. This book presents the archaeological and
bioarchaeological evidence for Roman activity here, to the
north-east of the urban settlement and the site of a series of
burial grounds on the east side of Ermine Street. Burial began here
c AD 120 and continued into the 4th century AD. Excavation revealed
a number of ditched enclosures, some used for the interment of 169
inhumations and five cremation burials, some for other purposes.
Among the early burials men outnumbered women by five to one, but
by the later 3rd and 4th centuries AD a more even sex ratio
prevailed. Subadults were well represented, with one area
apparently set aside for the burial of neonates and children. The
cemetery attracted some particularly wealthy 4th-century AD
burials, including at least two in stone sarcophagi, one of which
contained an inner, decorated, lead coffin enclosing a young woman.
She had been anointed with imported resins and buried in fine
clothing, with unusual glassware and jet items. Some burial rites
and grave goods are more familiar from Continental cemeteries,
emphasising the cosmopolitan and mobile nature of London's
population.
