Throughout the 1800s, explorers braved brutal weather and hostile
enemies, trekking through the towering mountains and fertile
valleys on the ragged edge of civilization. These early pioneers
built stockades, trading posts, military camps and miniature
citadels that would shape the state of Colorado for generations to
come. As the settlers struggled to survive desperate times,
economic depressions and bloody wars, some of these historic
outposts would become Colorado's cities, schools, hospitals and
museums, while others would sink back into the mud from which they
came. Join author Jolie Anderson Gallagher as she chronicles the
stories of the forts and the early explorers, fur trappers,
soldiers and wives who constructed and occupied them.

Author and illustrator Siobhán Gallagher’s humorous and
heartfelt graphic memoir about her journey from being the anxious
and unhappy “funny fat friend” to learning to love herself
along with all her imperfections. I’m proud of the person I’ve
become because I fought to become her. At the age of 30, Siobhán
Gallagher looks back on her teenage self: struggling with anxiety
and eating disorders, desperate to become a beautiful, savvy, and
slim adult. As an actual adult, she realizes she hasn’t turned
out the way she’d imagined, but through the hard work of
self-reflection—cut with plenty of humor—Gallagher brings
readers along on her journey to self-acceptance and self-love.
Through witty comics and striking illustrations, Full of Myself is
a highly relatable story of the awkward, imperfect, and hilariously
honest teenage best friend readers will wish they had had—and the

look right, but what makes a home feel right? In House Thinking,

on a psychological tour of the American home. By drawing on the

questions like these, enabling us to understand the homes we've

eye-opening look at how we live . . . and how we could live.

Did Scotland’s rough wind become something more after the
referendum, as so many hoped it would, or did it blow itself out?
What power can pessimism have in a nation of newfound
self-confidence? A generation ago, the socialist poet Hamish
Henderson forecast that ‘mair nor a roch wind’ - more than a
rough wind - would rush through the great glen of the world as
empires and nations collapsed. In Roch Winds, three young radicals
pick through the rubble left in the wake of the storm that
propelled the Scottish National Party into a position of
unprecedented political dominance in Scotland. This darkly humorous
book dissects the rise of the SNP and the fall of Labour during the
months leading up to 2014 Independence Referendum and beyond.
Drawing on their involvement in the Yes campaign for independence
and the Labour Party, the authors cast their eyes to Scotland’s
future and to radical horizons. Fluent, funny and full of fighting
talk, this book is for everyone who has ever wondered what lies
behind the tartan curtain of Scotland’s new establishment.
Here, fun questions are clearly answered and fantastic
illustrations help explain things further. Throughout there are
hilarious cartoons to keep kids hooked and some extraordinary facts
to entertain young minds.
Explore our extreme planet with these guides. Action-packed text,
astounding facts, thrilling photography and dynamic design concepts
with inform and enthrall.
