Isän vuoro
Kirja riittämättömyydestä, kasvusta ja rakkaudesta. Isille ja isien lähipiireille. 2020-luvun isiltä odotetaan paljon – ja ei mitään. Kirjassa isät kertovat, miten navigoida yhteiskunnan, perheen ja työelämän ristipaineissa samalla, kun rakentaa omaa identiteettiä isänä. Isyys mullistaa miehen elämän. Vai mullistaako? Vanhemmaksi tullaan kertaheitolla lapsen syntyessä, mutta syntymä ei tuo mukanaan vanhemmuuden taitoja tai tunteita. Kirjoittajien ja kirjassa esiintyvien isien viesti lukijoille on rohkaiseva: omannäköinen, mielekäs perhe-elämä ja vanhemmuus syntyvät oman paneutumisen ja tekemisen kautta. Isille tulisi myös mahdollistaa tasa-arvoinen perhe-elämään osallistuminen, mistä ovat isien itsensä lisäksi vastuussa myös isien lähipiiri: puolisot, kaverit ja työnantajat. Aleksi Harmokivi on talous- ja HR-alan ammattilainen, yhdistystoimija ja kahden lapsen isä. Julius Hurri on kahden lapsen isä, IT-konsulttiyhtiön johtaja sekä intohimoisesti musiikkia ja urheilua harrastava yhdenvertaisuusaktivisti. Matti Parpala on uusiutuvan energian alalla toimiva yrittäjä, joka sai esikoisensa puolisonsa toimiessa kansanedustajana.
The Midwife
Orphaned into an unforgiving foster home and raised as an outsider, Weird-Eye shoulders her unflattering nickname. She relies on her vivid imagination to sustain her work as a midwife bringing newborns into the world while World War II overruns her native Finland, desecrating life. She finds herself drawn to the handsome, otherworldly Johannes Angelhurst, a war photographer working for the SS. To be near him, Weird-Eye--whom Johannes lovingly calls Wild-Eye--volunteers to serve as a nurse at the prison camp where he has been assigned. From the brutality of the camps to the splendor of the aurora borealis above the Arctic Sea, The Midwife tells of a stormy romance, the desolate beauty of a protective fjord, and the deeply personal battles waged as World War II came to an end.
Twiggy
'Over my career I've had the privilege of working with many great photographers, and I've learned to understand the importance of the relationship with the person behind the camera. I'm constantly amazed at the different aspects of my character they choose to reveal.' This stunning collection of photographs explores Twiggy's extraordinary life in front of the camera. Launched with a famous haircut by Leonard and photographs by Barry Lategan in 1966, Twiggy was the world's first supermodel. For the next four years she helped define 'Swinging London' and she remains today an internationally recognised name and face. In her own words, Twiggy describes the distinguished photographers with whom she has collaborated-including Richard Avedon, Cecil Beaton, Douglas Kirkland, Annie Leibovitz, Steven Meisel, Norman Parkinson, Melvin Sokolsky, Bert Stern, Bryan Adams and many others-and her memories of working with them. Published to celebrate her 60th birthday, this beautiful book documents her life through photographs. With over 100 illustrations, including works from the National Portrait Gallery, London and many private collections, it also features Twiggy's personal selection of photographs, snapshots and memorabilia. An illustrated chronology traces highlights in her career, including her starring role in Ken Russell's film The Boy Friend (1971), for which she was awarded two Golden Globes, and her Tony-award-nominated appearance in the Broadway musical My One and Only (1983-4).
