A Guidebook to Ethical Spiritual Travel
Rooted in ancient traditions, spiritual journeys have long served as powerful catalysts for self-reflection, cultural understanding, and personal growth. With an emphasis on the cognitive transformation that often accompanies such travels, this contributed volume provides both historical context and practical advice to navigate the complex landscape of contemporary spiritual tourism. A Guidebook to Ethical Spiritual Travel: Innovation and Global Insights synthesises age-old teachings with modern perspectives, offering readers a comprehensive framework for travellers on meaningful spiritual journeys. By presenting case studies and practical guidance, it encourages mindfulness and intentionality in travel, while addressing critical challenges like cultural appropriation, sustainability, and the commercialisation of sacred sites. Aimed at both academics and industry professionals, the international team of authors emphasises the importance of respect, responsibility, and cultural sensitivity, fostering global empathy and personal transformation through well-guided spiritual exploration.
Academic Talk for Higher Education
Academic Talk for Higher Education brings together several current debates around oracy, dialogic teaching, and the role that academic talk can play in both widening access to higher education and creating more equitable learning opportunities. Exploring the notion that a focus on purposefully using academic discourse in university classroom settings can support students to better engage, argue, and connect with their learning, peers, and educators, Academic Talk for Higher Education examines the relationship between spoken language, equity, and academic preparedness for higher education, and provides a theoretical and empirical account of policy drivers and widening participation cohorts. Working with extensive prior research conducted by the authors focused on ‘alternative pathway’ teaching contexts—Enabling Education in Australia and Foundation Year Programmes in the UK—chapters draw on teachers’ perspectives and experiences of academic literacies to conceptualise the need for more explicit pedagogic focus on academic talk. Concluding with an agenda for both policy and practice to value academic talk as a vehicle for equity, the authors offer recommendations for how to explicitly embed academic talk into the higher education curriculum, and particularly in academic preparation contexts. This is significant at a time of great turbulence in the higher education sectors in both the UK and Australia, and when activities to support widening participation, retention and progression of all university students are needed more than ever.

Andy Warhol - The Complete Textiles and Fashion
This visually stunning volume is the first to document in its entirety Andy Warhol's graphically charged and occasionally whimsical work in textiles and fashion.
Spanning more than three decades, this book highlights a little-known but influential aspect of Warhol's creative output: his inventive use of printed fabrics and wearable design. From roller-printed cottons and border patterns in the 1950s to screen-printed garments in the '70s and '80s, these works reveal the foundations of his Pop aesthetic-serial imagery, commercial motifs, and a playful engagement with surface and form.
His designs appeared on T-shirts, handkerchiefs, silk scarves, laundry bags, underwear, and jackets-everyday items he purchased off the rack and transformed through image and repetition. These early textile creations also mark a crucial step in his artistic development, serving as the origin of the serialization that would define his entire body of work. Because these designs were never intended for galleries or museums, they remained largely overlooked-until now.
Featuring over 200 illustrations, many previously unpublished, the book showcases Warhol's collaborations with manufacturers and designers, including projects with Stephen Sprouse, Halston, and Interview magazine. It also includes promotional pieces, garments made from his textiles, and rare ephemera that place these creations within the broader context of mid-century and postmodern design. Warhol expert Paul Maréchal offers fresh insight into how these works blurred the line between art and commerce, long before artist-brand collaborations became the norm.
His engaging text repositions Warhol not as a conventional fashion figure, but as a visual innovator who reimagined how patterns, products, and popular culture could intersect. Rich in detail and visual flair, this book is essential for Warhol admirers and anyone interested in the crosscurrents of art, clothing, and design.

Say Nephew
A profound and illuminating exploration of the mythology of gay uncles and the meaning of queer bonds across generationsIn Say Nephew, Steven Pfau blends memoir and criticism to celebrate the gay uncles who shape our sense of queer identity, culture, and history. The most influential figure in Pfau’s gay boyhood—the mentor who set the standard for all his future mentors—was his uncle Bruce.A charismatic storyteller with a Burt Reynolds–esque bravado (and a mustache, leather jacket, and pair of cowboy boots to match), Bruce came out in 1950s Memphis and lived in New York City through many of the defining events of the gay liberation era. Bruce was both a unique fixture in his nephew’s upbringing and a link in a long lineage of uncles, literal and figurative, who have offered various forms of queer tutelage to younger men.But what role is the nephew supposed to play in these relationships? And who does he become once his uncles are no longer there to guide him? Both a coming-of-age story and a wide-ranging study, Say Nephew is a wholly original and expansive consideration of queer mentorship.
