Buy a pair of Levi\'s, lose the Russian accent, become an American... how hard could it be?Moscow, 1988. After years of antisemitic harassment, countless hours waiting in line for toilet paper, and having zero access to cool jeans, Margarita decides it\'s time to get the hell out of the Soviet Union. While dreaming of buying the boat-sized Buick she\'d seen in a pirated VHS of Miami Vice and getting a taste of whatever it is Bruce Springsteen is singing about, she comes up with a plan to escape Mother Russia for good. When Margarita arrives in the US with her family, she has one objective - become fully American as soon as possible, and leave her Soviet past behind. But she soon learns that finding her new voice is harder than avoiding the KGB.Because, how do you become someone else completely? Is it as simple as changing your name, upgrading your wardrobe and working on your pronunciation of the word \'sheet\'? Can you let go of old habits (never, ever throw anything away), or learn to date without hang-ups (\'there is no sex in the Soviet Union\' after all)? Will you ever stop disappointing your parents, who expect you to become a doctor, a lawyer, an investment banker and a classical pianist - all at the same time? And can you still become the person you dreamed you\'d be, while learning to embrace parts of yourself you\'ve wanted to discard for good when you immigrated?Absolutely hilarious, painfully honest and sometimes heart-breaking, the award-winning I Named My Dog Pushkin will have fans of David Sedaris and Samantha Irby howling with laughter at Margarita\'s failures, her victories and the life lessons she learns as she grows as both a woman and an immigrant, in a world that often doesn\'t appreciate either. What readers are saying about I Named My Dog Pushkin:\'Hilariously funny, whip-smart and absolutely fascinating... Silver shows that the only person she needs to ever become is herself. Just amazing.\' Caroline Leavitt, New York Times bestselling author of Pictures of You and With or Without You\'Laugh-out-loud funny... a particular pleasure to see our splintered country through the eyes of this determined and appreciative emigree.\' NPR Books\'An eye-opener... a whole other brand of Jewish humor... The book\'s wit, drama and erudition appear to me wholly miraculous. Margarita deserves a literary prize.\' Alicia Bay Laurel, New York Times bestselling author of Living on the Earth\'Hysterically funny and thought-provoking... perfect for anyone fascinated with the USSR\' FangirlNation\'I thoroughly enjoyed Margarita\'s witty and acerbic voice. This book was a delight!\' Jen Mann, New York Times bestselling author of People I Want to Punch in the Throat\'Hilarious... From one USSR immigrant to another... I related a lot.\' Margarita Levieva, HBO\'s The Deuce\'Hilarious and thought-provoking.\' California Bookwatch\'A memoir like this is so very rare, one in which you learn a great deal, while laughing throughout. Highly, highly recommended.\' Wandering Educators\'Plunges the reader into a world in which Coca-Cola is synonymous with freedom... riveting... moving... Gokun Silver is a gifted, witty writer.\' Los Angeles Review of Books\'Sure to delight while tugging at your heartstrings.\' Jewish Book Council\'Had me laughing and smiling all the way through... a perfect balance of wit and seriousness... Superb.\' Goodreads reviewer\'Laughed my socks off!\' Goodreads reviewer\'I loved this book so much... I just could not stop reading.\' NetGalley reviewer\'A sharp, witty memoir...

An introduction to the raucous yet educational ‘gap year’ tours of Europe taken by wealthy British aristocrats in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.For many young eighteenth-century aristocrats, the Grand Tour was an essential rite of passage. Spending many months travelling established routes through France and Italy, they would visit the great cultural sites of western Europe – from Paris, through to Venice, Florence and Rome – ostensibly absorbing art, architecture and culture. Yet all too often, it was a gateway to gambling and debauchery. In this beautifully illustrated guide, Mike Rendell shows how the tour reached its zenith, examining the young tourists’ activities and how they acquired ‘polish’ and an appreciation for fashion, opera and classical antiquity. He also explores their passion for souvenirs and art collecting, and how these items made their way back to grand country houses, which were themselves often modelled to the rules of classical European architecture.

In Never Home Alone, biologist Rob Dunn takes us to the edge of biology\'s latest frontier: our own homes. Every house is a wilderness -- from the Egyptian meal moths in our kitchen cupboards and the yeast in a sourdough starter, to the camel crickets living in the basement, to the thousands of species of insects, bacteria, fungi, and plants live literally under our noses. Our reaction, too often, is to sterilise. As we do, we unwittingly cultivate an entirely new playground for evolution. Unfortunately, this means that we have created a range of new parasites, from antibiotic-resistant microbes to nearly impossible to kill cockroaches, to threaten ourselves with and destroyed helpful housemates. If we\'re not careful, the \"healthier\" we try to make our homes, the more likely we\'ll be putting our own health at risk.A rich natural history and a thrilling scientific investigation, Never Home Alone shows us that if are to truly thrive in our homes, we must learn to welcome the unknown guests that have been there the whole time.

As he charts and interrogates the shifts in mood and understanding that have defined a transformative period in his own history and that of the surrounding area, he reveals a past scarred with trauma and a present lacking compass. Traversing local raves in secret valleys, to climate change and capitalism, The Paper Lantern creates a tangible, lived-in complicated rendering of a place, at the moment when the very sense of place itself is being questioned.
