Diagrams and text describing the plant morphology
Artists' Considerations: a checklist to follow when examining a plant

Say Everything
"Yep, Ione Skye wrote a memoir. I gobbled it up." – Miranda July In this instant New York Times bestselling memoir, Gen X icon Ione Skye shares her “delightfully juicy” (People) and achingly vulnerable story about chasing fame, desire, and true love in the shadow of her famous, absent father. In 1987, sixteen-year-old Ione Skye landed the breakout role of Diane Court, the dream girl who inspires John Cusack’s iconic boombox serenade in the hit Cameron Crowe film, Say Anything. While Skye seemed perfectly typecast as an aloof valedictorian, she was anything but. Deserted by her dad, the folk singer legend Donovan, Skye was a ninth-grade dropout who sought solace and validation in the eyes of audiences and dreamy costars like Keanu Reeves, River Phoenix, Matthew Perry, John Cusack, and Robert Downey Jr. But like her sixties It Girl mom, Skye’s greatest weakness was musicians. On the heels of a toxic relationship with the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ Anthony Kiedis, which began when she was just sixteen and he was twenty-four, the actress leapt into wedded bliss with her first great love, Beastie Boy Adam Horovitz. But marriage was not the magical hall pass to adulthood Skye had imagined. Awakening to her bisexuality and desperately insecure, she risked her fairytale marriage for a string of affairs with gorgeous nineties “bad girls.” The dream marriage imploded, and Skye’s trust in herself and her future along with it. Set against a backdrop of rock royalty compounds, supermodel cliques, and classic late-century films like River’s Edge, Gas Food Lodging, and Wayne’s World, Say Everything is a wild ride of Hollywood thrills as well as a lyrical reflection on ambition, intimacy, and a messy, sexy, unconventional life.

Mirrorstage
Following their discharge from hospital, Mirrorstage follows its narrator on a road trip through the grey, liminal landscapes of modern Britain. As they pass graffitied bus shelters, construction sites and flooded motorways, factories and high-rises, the narrator’s internal and external journeys begin to converge, leading them down paths they have been trying to avoid: the mental illness and substance use that led them to the inpatient ward, the uneasy balance of their own gender identity, their troubled relationship with their estranged father, the perils and pleasures of the queer scene, and the shame that has haunted them throughout their life. Woven around the psychoanalytic concept of its title, Mirrorstage is an experimental fable exploring the boundaries of selfhood and literary forms, told in fragments of prose and verse that are equal parts heartbreaking, sexy, and witty.

Sleep Has His House
'Her writing is magnificent' Telegraph'A testament of remarkable, if feverish beauty' Guardian In an unhappy suburban household, a young girl begins to retreat into a nighttime world of her own imagining. As her daytime life deteriorates, she decides to take up permanent residence in the house of sleep, where rooms change position and dream-tigers prowl. But there are institutions determined to control her. Will they stop her coming home to the dark forever?A kaleidoscopic autobiographical narrative, written in the language of childhood dreams once known to us all, this is a work of devastating loneliness and stunning imaginative freedom.Part of the Pushkin Press Classics series: timeless storytelling by icons of literature, hand-picked from around the globe.Anna Kavan (1901-1968) was born Helen Woods, the only child of wealthy British expatriates, and grew up travelling through Europe and America. She began publishing under her married name, Helen Ferguson, having left her husband in Burma and returned with her son to live in England. After a mental breakdown in the 1930s she began writing under a new name, taken from one of her characters, and with a new style. She continued writing for another three decades, while frequently using heroin and undergoing several rounds of psychiatric hospitalisation. She died shortly after the publication of Ice, her most celebrated work, also published by Pushkin Press.
Traversal
In Traversal, Maria Popova traverses the border between life and death, chance and choice, chemistry and consciousness: what makes a body a person? What makes a planet a world? How do we safeguard our love of truth from our lust for power? What slakes our longings and what redeems our losses? Popova illuminates our various instruments of reckoning with these questions - our telescopes and our treatises, our postulates and our poems - through the intertwined lives, loves and legacies of visionaries both celebrated and sidelined by history, people born into the margins of their time and place who lived to write the future: Mary Shelley, Walt Whitman, Frederick Douglass, Fanny Wright. Woven throughout their stories are other threads - the decoding of the insulin molecule, the invention of the bicycle, how nature creates blue - which come together to create a rich tapestry of life's meaning; exploring what it is that makes life alive and worth living. By turns epic and intimate, Traversal explores the universe between cells and souls to reveal the world, and our lives, in a dazzling new light.
Nevesta sekty
Ako sa z nenápadného dotazníka stane vstupenka do sekty?
Keď mala Liz Cameronová osemnásť, v nákupnom centre v austrálskej Canberre ju oslovila neznáma žena s nenápadnou prosbou o vyplnenie dotazníka. Bol to prvý krok na ceste do tajnostkárskej kresťanskej sekty, ktorá pôsobí v desiatkach krajín sveta.
Po mesiacoch indoktrinácie sa situácia vyhrotila – Liz sa k sekte nasťahovala, prerušila kontakt s rodinou a priateľmi a čoskoro bola „povýšená“ na nevestu vodcu sekty, sériového násilníka Jeonga Myeong-Seoka. Vybrala sa za ním do Južnej Kórey, kde ho navštevovala vo väzení a žila v luxusnom komplexe patriacom sekte. Po návrate do Austrálie sa jej fyzický aj psychický stav dramaticky zhoršil a jej život sa ocitol v ohrození. Až vďaka zásahu rodičov a profesionálnych deprogramátorov sa jej podarilo uniknúť.
Nevesta sekty je vážna a mimoriadne dôležitá autobiografická výpoveď o tom, ako sekty fungujú na očiach verejnosti, ako cielene vyhľadávajú zraniteľných ľudí a ako nenápadne rozkladajú ich identitu. Zároveň je to príbeh prežitia, návratu k sebe a varovanie, že vymývanie mozgov sa netýka len „slabých“ ľudí, ale kohokoľvek z nás.
