A personal, intimate account of the extraordinary ways that today's families are being created.
From adoption and assisted reproduction, to gay and straight parents, coupled and single, and multi-parent families, the stories in Modern Families explain how individuals make unconventional families by accessing a broad range of technological, medical and legal choices that expand our definitions of parenting and kinship. Joshua Gamson introduces us to a child with two mothers, made with one mother's egg and the sperm of a man none of them has ever met; another born in Ethiopia, delivered by his natural grandmother to an orphanage after both his parents died in close succession, and then to the arms of his mother, who is raising him solo.
These tales are deeply personal and political. The process of forming these families involved jumping tremendous hurdles--social conventions, legal and medical institutions--with heightened intention and inventiveness, within and across multiple inequities and privileges. Yet each of these families, however they came to be, shares the same universal joys that all families share.
A companion for all those who choose to navigate the world of modern kinship, Modern Families provides a "fascinating look at the remarkable range of experiences that is broadening the very idea of family" (Booklist).

African artists have, over the years, had to overcome incredible hardships - including war and poverty - to survive, create and sell their work. This is especially true of those artists based in Zimbabwe, formerly known as Rhodesia.
Zimbabwe is a beautiful and diverse country. Its name means "Houses of Stone," which is apt considering that the country boasts many internationally-renowned sculptors.
For sculptors, it is a land that enjoys rich natural resources, such as stone that can be transformed, under the hands of creative geniuses, into sculptures that are beautiful, immense and potent in their meaning and heritage.
This beautiful full-color coffee-table book celebrates Zimbabwe Stone Sculpture- those who create it and those who honour it.
Join author Stuart Danks, founder of Stone Dynamics Gallery in 1986, on a journey through the fascinating history of this unique art form and its relevance today.
Learn about the process whereby a piece of stone is manually mined with great labour and then transported great distances to be skillfully and lovingly carved into a magnificent piece of art.
Find out about the various types of stone that the artists use to express themselves.
Discover the influence African art has had on Western art.
Read about the artists who create the sculpture that continues to fascinate the world, and view some of their memorable pieces.
Pore over the superb photography that gives insight into the resplendent art form that is Zimbabwe Stone Sculpture.

The cop they call in thinks he's dealing with a couple of English wackos with less than perfect teeth but he's damned if she isn't sexy as hell. Cue a spiral of violence, paranoia and death under the California sun...
