How much is one life worth and what would you sacrifice to save it? For Calico, the answer is simple. Nothing is more important than preserving her sister's life. No cost is too great. Until it is . . .
Saving Asha. That's my religion. That's my science . . . Without Asha, there is no me.
Asha is dead. Years of medical treatment were not enough to heal her. The only way 17-year-old Calico can save her younger sister now is by joining her in death - at least until modern medicine can bring them both back to healthy life. Cryogenics is the answer: Scientific. Legal. Safe. Or so Dr Fates would have her believe. He plans to preserve the sisters' bodies until his biotechnology research finds a cure for Asha.
But when Calico is brought back to life, she's in a post climate catastrophe, low-tech future trapped in a research facility. She's at risk of being sold off to a sinister enforced breeding programme. And worst of all - Asha is missing.
Calico must find a way to save her sister, herself, and the new friends she's made among the other test subjects. But first she has to unravel the secrets the facility is hiding and reveal the lies she has been part of.
In this striking debut, Kathryn Clark raises poignant questions about the ethics of medical science, humans playing god, the consequences of our choices, and the place of consent in healthcare.

Exploring the Architecture of Place in America's Farmers Markets
explores the elusive architectural states of these beloved
community-gathering places. From classic market buildings such as
Findlay Market in Cincinnati, to open-air pavilions in Durham North
Carolina and pop-up canopy markets in Staunton, Virginia, the
country currently has over 8,700 seasonal and year-round farmers
markets. Architect, teacher, and founder of the Friends of the
Farmers Market, Katheryn Clarke Albright combines historically
informed architectural observation with interview material and
images drawn from conversations with farmers, vendors, market
managers and shoppers. Using eight scales of interaction and
interface, Albright presents in-depth case studies to demonstrate
how architectural elements and spatial conditions foster social and
economic exchange between vendors, shoppers, and the community at
large. Albright looks ahead to an emerging typology--the mobile
market--bringing local farmers and healthy foods to underserved
neighborhoods. The impact farmers markets make on their local
communities inspires place-making, improves the local economy, and
preserves rural livelihoods. Developed organically and
distinctively out of the space they occupy, these markets create
and revitalize communities as rich as the produce they sell.
