As the subject of a popular web reality series, Suzanne Barston and her husband Steve became a romantic, ethereal model for new parenthood. Called «A Parent is Born,» the program’s tagline was «The journey to parenthood . . . from pregnancy to delivery and beyond.» Barston valiantly surmounted the problems of pregnancy and delivery. It was the «beyond» that threw her for a loop when she found that, despite every effort, she couldn’t breastfeed her son, Leo. This difficult encounter with nursing—combined with the overwhelming public attitude that breast is not only best, it is the yardstick by which parenting prowess is measured—drove Barston to explore the silenced, minority position that breastfeeding is not always the right choice for every mother and every child. <br /><br />Part memoir, part popular science, and part social commentary, <i>Bottled Up</i> probes breastfeeding politics through the lens of Barston’s own experiences as well as those of the women she has met through her popular blog, <i>The Fearless Formula Feeder</i>. Incorporating expert opinions, medical literature, and popular media into a pithy, often wry narrative, Barston offers a corrective to our infatuation with the breast. Impassioned, well-reasoned, and thoroughly researched, <i>Bottled Up</i> asks us to think with more nuance and compassion about whether breastfeeding should remain the holy grail of good parenthood.<br /><br />

The bottled waters industry has become a vital and vigorous sector of the beverage world, in developed and developing countries worldwide. Since publication of the first edition in 1998, the industry has undergone a remarkable expansion, and this has served to underline the need for an accessible source of technical guidance. This book is unique in providing an overview of the science and technology of the bottled waters industry. The second edition has been strengthened by bringing in a US co-Editor, and the coverage has been thoroughly revised and considerably extended. A new chapter is included on cleaning and disinfection.

Author is a prolific and personable up-and-coming writer with a rapidly growing following and social media presence. Her successful Momsieblog.com receives up to 12,000 visitors a month and her articles have been featured on Huffington Post and Substance.com, while her essays have been published in Today’s Christian Woman, and most recently in a woman’s anthology, Aspiring to Inspire (Durham Editing, 2014). Author frequently speaks and leads workshops on writing and addiction, most recently on “Courage and Recovery,” “Good Wit and Good Writing,” and women in recovery. Unlike competitive titles that are often bleak and grim (Drunk Mom by Jowita Bydlowska), Bottled is written with humor and laugh-out-loud sarcasm that will provide much needed levity and a refreshing perspective on an issue that is too often treated with deadly seriousness. More than half of the book focuses on the recovery process and its attendant family dynamic, in contrast to many comparable memoirs that spend the majority of their pages detailing the excesses and grim experiences of active addiction. Book includes an Appendix with a questionnaire helping to determine the extent of one’s addiction development or potential, recovery resources, and information on twelve-step recovery.

Lousy Lou Ousley, the detective, has been given another impossible case: the murder or suicide of a crackpot novelist in a locked room. Everything points to suicide but there’s the sticky point of the gun being made of wax. And what’s with the bottle on the desk with a deuce of diamonds inside it? In this novel, written in 1958 but never published anywhere until now, Harry Stephen Keeler pulls out all the stops and creates a tale that Arthur Conan Doyle might have written.
