The Jungle is a novel written by the American journalist and novelist Upton Sinclair. Sinclair wrote the novel to portray the harsh conditions and exploited lives of immigrants in the United States in Chicago and similar industrialized cities. However, most readers were more concerned with his exposure of health violations and unsanitary practices in the American meatpacking industry during the early 20th century, based on an investigation he did for a socialist newspaper.The book depicts working class poverty, the lack of social supports, harsh and unpleasant living and working conditions, and a hopelessness among many workers. These elements are contrasted with the deeply rooted corruption of people in power. A review by the writer Jack London called it, "the Uncle Tom''s Cabin of wage slavery".Sinclair was considered a muckraker, or journalist who exposed corruption in government and business.

Teddy: If there''s one thing I don''t do, it''s commitment. You don''t become an award-winning photographer by staying in one place. I''m always on the road, looking for the next shot, the next award, the next hot body. Which is how I end up on Dr. James Marian''s front porch in the middle-of-nowhere Alaska. He''s known as the Wildlife Whisperer, and I want to photograph him in action. He''s reluctant at first, but I can be persuasive. Soon enough I have him in bed saying yes over and over and over again, but my ability to shoot and scoot is frozen by a Denali snowstorm.Jamie: I always thought of myself as the marrying type. Until I got left at the altar. Now I have a new motto: never commit and never fall in love. So when a cocky nature photographer decides I''m the key to his next masterpiece, it seems like the perfect arrangement: the hotshot''s only in town for a brief assignment and then he''ll be gone. No commitment, no strings, and no chance of getting my heart broken again.There''s just one problem: I think I''m falling in love. Now I''m afraid that maybe I''m the marrying type after all. And he definitely is not.While it can also be read on its own, Taming Teddy is the second in the new Made Marian series. Each book tells the story of one of the Marian brothers'' search for true love. The first in the series, Borrowing Blue, is available now.

A TIME 'New Books You Should Read'A People magazine 'Book of the Week'A New York Times Editors' ChoiceWith a foreword by Elizabeth Strout 'Electric: with wit, with rage, with grief, with the kind of prose that makes you both laugh and thrill to the darker, spikier emotions just barely visible under the bright surface. What a wonderful collection of stories' Lauren Groff Another day! And then another and another and another. It seemed as if it would all go on forever in that exquisitely boring and beautiful way. But of course it wouldn't; everyone knows that.In this collection, Hilma Wolitzer invites us inside the private world of domestic bliss, seen mostly through the lens of Paulie and Howard's gloriously ordinary marriage.From hasty weddings to meddlesome neighbours, ex-wives who just won't leave, to sleepless nights spent worrying about unanswered chainmail, Wolitzer captures the tensions, contradictions and unexpected detours of daily life with wit, candour and an acutely observant eye.Including stories first published in magazines in the 1960s and 1970s - alongside new writing from Wolitzer, now in her nineties - Today a Woman Went Mad in the Supermarket reintroduces a beloved writer to be embraced by a new generation of readers.'A fascinating time capsule of womanhood, marriage and motherhood over the last century . A fabulous book' Emma Straub 'Immensely gratifying, poignant, funny . Breathtaking' Elizabeth Strout, from the foreword

Peter Banyard (1931-2018) was born in Birmingham and educated in London and Oxfordshire. He was ordained a Jesuit priest in 1961 and spent the greater part of his working life as teacher and chaplain in St Aloysius'' College, Glasgow. The predominant topics of his poetry are the natural world and especially the Hebridean island of Vatersay. His deftly crafted compositions were clearly inspired by his Victorian Jesuit predecessor Gerard Manley Hopkins. And, like Hopkins, he saw God in everything and good in everyone.

Dopamine City is the story of Lonny Cush, sanitation worker and single parent, kind-hearted and red-blooded, who is trying his best to protect his kids from the hysterical hyper-reality of 21st century life. He lives in an unnamed fictional world city, dominated by a huge tech company akin to Google.

A gripping, bloody tribute to classic slasher cinema, final girls and our buried ghosts, combining Friday the 13th, the uncanny mastery of Shirley Jackson, and the razor wit of the Evil Dead.
