Birth
The Surprising History of How We Are Born

978-0-8021-4324-2 * $17.50 * In stock

Tina Cassiday takes all the romance out of the miracle of giving life in this fascinating, gory read. The horrors that women have suffered giving birth over the centuries is documented here in detail. While it is graphic, Cassidy doesn't paint an entire picture of doom and gloom as she goes on to highlight the process by which women have gained ownership over their personal birthing experience.

Praise:

"There is a collective, willful amnesia about birth . . . that has been begging for (Cassidy's) clear-headed dissipation. We want it to be meaningful and we want it to be mercifully brief. This book is both." - The New York Times Book Review

"Fascinating, funny, and occasionally shocking - should be at the top of every pregnant woman's reading list." - Kirkus Reviews (starred)

Coming this October

Move over Paris and Posh - Miller was caught too!

While it may be a bit of a stretch to put these three in anywhere near the same category, Miller is at least a celeb on the local scale.

The paparrazi have caught him here holding Time Out Toronto. Time Out is one of our favourite travel publishers and have been called "The best city guides in print." by The Independent.

Are Books the new Celeb Accessory?

Have books replaced Paris's beloved chihuahua? Is Posh now shopping for books over baubles, clothes, jewellery or whatever it is she normally shops for?

Whatever the case publishers and booksellers alike can agree that this is great pr for their books: glam girl publicity is more than welcome.
