Consumer Sexualities explores women's experiences of shopping in
'sex shops' and using sexual commodities in their everyday lives.
This enlightening volume shows how women take up sexual consumer
'technologies of the self' to work upon and understand themselves
as confident and active sexual agents in postfeminist neoliberal
culture. In guiding the reader through the historical emergence of
sexual commodities 'for women' in feminism and postfeminism, Wood
points to the normalisation and regulation of sexual practices and
identities in and through consumption. Indeed, women's accounts
show the work involved in constructing the 'right' - knowledgeable,
tasteful, and confident - orientation to sexual consumption and, by
extension, in becoming an intelligibly 'good' sexual person. At the
same time, the author draws upon de Certeau to show how the
ordinary contexts in which sexual commodities are used can lead to
unpredictable moments of adaptation, discomfort, playfulness, and
resistance. A rich analysis of women's everyday strategies of
'making do' with the kinds of femininity and female sexuality that
sex shop culture represents, Consumer Sexualities will appeal to
scholars of sociology, cultural studies and gender studies with
interests in gender, sexuality, sex, and consumption.

Reefs are an extraordinary natural phenomenon. Visible from outer space, coral reefs are the largest biologically constructed features known; in close proximity their spectacular beauty and abundance of life is dazzling. This text documents those biological innovations which have moulded the evolution of reef ecosystems and given rise to the highly complex reef communities found today. The appearance of clonality, the acquisition of photosymbiosis and the radiation of predator groups are all discussed in depth. Data from the fossil record documents the evolutionary development of reef ecosystems. This interdisciplinary approach has the aim of providing an analytical text which will be of value not only to advanced undergraduates and postgraduate courses, but also to researchers in ancient reef ecology.

With a history of use extending back to Vedic texts of the second
millennium BC, derivations of the name Mithra appear in the Roman
Empire, across Sasanian Persia, and in the Kushan Empire of
southern Afghanistan and northern India during the first millennium
AD. Even today, this name has a place in Yazidi and Zoroastrian
religion. But what connection have Mihr in Persia, Miiro in Kushan
Bactria, and Mithras in the Roman Empire to one another? Over the
course of the volume, specialists in the material culture of these
diverse regions explore appearances of the name Mithra from six
distinct locations in antiquity. In a subversion of the usual
historical process, the authors begin not from an assessment of
texts, but by placing images of Mithra at the heart of their
analysis. Careful consideration of each example's own context,
situating it in the broader scheme of religious traditions and
on-going cultural interactions, is key to this discussion. Such an
approach opens up a host of potential comparisons and
interpretations that are often side-lined in historical accounts.
What Images of Mithra offers is a fresh approach to the ways in
which gods were labelled and depicted in the ancient world. Through
an emphasis on material culture, a more nuanced understanding of
the processes of religious formation is proposed in what is but the
first part of the Visual Conversations series.
Living Life Like It's Golden is a book about womanhood and how to
survive turning 40 when you've made no plans in doing so. D. L.
Jordan provides answers to one of the most painful questions women
ask themselves: Where did the time go? And where do I go from here?
Washington, the Evergreen state, is known for its lush landscapes
of forests and mountains. But you don't have to go all the way into
the backcountry to experience what the state has to offer. In Urban
Hikes Washington you'll hit the trail to discover the landmarks and
hotspots that shape the state's cities and towns. From arboretum
trails to picturesque waterfront walks, this guide explores 40-50
urban hiking trails throughout the state. Drawing on their
extensive travel knowledge of the state, authors Brandon Fralic and
Rachel Wood curate a guide to not only family-friendly footpaths,
but to the state's culinary and gastronomic delights. Take in the
sites of Expo '74 while walking Spokane's Riverfront Park, marvel
at the landscape architecture of Washington Park Arboretum in
Seattle, or brewery-hop after a stroll to Downtown Bellingham from
Boulevard Park. Each hike includes trail GPS coordinates and
waypoints, detailed hike descriptions, maps, and easy-to-find
trailhead directions, along with excellent color photos and travel
tips. Hit the trail (or the pavement) and explore Washington!
