New Releases by Chris Harris

This volume collates and examines literary and screened representations of what the editors term ‘border masculinities’. It seeks to understand masculine subjectivities, through fiction and screen, within a complex global arena of relationships and fluid movements across multiple boundaries within that arena. It also concerns paradigmatic borders related to class, gender and ethnicities, as well as other theoretical parameters which cut across porous spatial boundaries. This collection contains a range of theoretically informed responses to varying cultural representations of such masculinities in Europe, the Americas, the Caribbean, Australasia and Asia. Thematic and conceptual connections between them are discussed in the introductory chapter and such links are also made between chapters.

Chris first had the idea for this book many years ago based on the name and feisty personality of his cat, Sky. Sky is on a mission to save her planet from starvation. On her way back from collecting food from a sister planet she encounters evil creatures trying to squeeze the life out of a sister spaceship carrying precious cargo home. Can Sky save the spaceship from Destruction? Can she complete her mission to help save her planet? ''Sky The Spacecat'' is Chris''s debut book and is the first in a series, with the second book to be published soon.

This book can be read in less than a day, improve the rest of your life and impact future generations. God intends for every human to live an outstanding life. He is standing by, almost pleading to offer all the help we’ll ever need to be victorious in every situation. This book offers foundational Biblical principles for the meaningful life God wants everyone to have. The Holy Spirit is a teacher (1 Cor 2:13, Luke 12:12). The education I received during the first year after receiving the Holy Spirit was filled with valuable nuggets that improved my life and mindset. These could have prevented many headaches and problems during the years before. Simple key pieces of wisdom were revealed that improved my interactions, relationships and behavior. The more I learned, the more I realized God truly has an answer for everything from parenting, paying bills, problems on the job and everything in between. I sat in Bible class numerous times and thought, “If I had only known this earlier...” This book is a condensed summary of hundreds of hours of learning to make universal truths readily available to anyone interested in a better life.

Tyre destruction, power slides and continuous drooling Chris Harris has driven more cars than most people could ever dream of. His vast knowledge is legendary. He calls it ''unhinged geekery''. But we call it infectious enthusiasm, adrenaline-fueled escapism and peerless journalistic rigour and integrity. And then there are his famous skills at the wheel, from city cars to rally cars, F1 to vintage, not forgetting the Guinness World Record 3.4km sideways in an electric car. And now for the first time, Harris is going all out with that unhinged geekery, and takes us down the road of his life-long adventure with the automobile - from the Scalextric track to the Nürburgring 24 Hour, via his own formative low-powered Somerset version of The Dukes of Hazard. A highly individual, petrol-soaked life story that''s all down to variable valve timings.

This hilarious follow-up to the New York Times bestselling poetry book I''m Just No Good at Rhyming is full of surprising twists of wit and wordplay that will have readers rolling on the floor laughing! “Highly recommended, it gets 5 stars and 8 moons and a chef''s kiss and a tip of the hat and a jump in the lake from me.”—Bob Odenkirk, award-winning actor, writer, and comedian I''m Just No Good at Rhyming is this century''s most acclaimed comedic poetry collection so far, described as "a worthy heir to Silverstein, Seuss, and even Ogden Nash" (PublishersWeekly), "wildly imaginative...inspired and inspiring" (Kirkus), and as "everything a book for kids should be" (B.J. Novak). Now, Chris Harris delivers all that and more with dazzling new heights of creativity, kooky conundrums, witty wordsmithing, and of course, wacky laugh-out-loud fun! There''s a whole new cast of characters to meet, from the Nail-Clipping Fairy (who delivers teeth at night), to Orloc the Destroyer (who can be defeated only by his mommy), to the Elderly Caveman (who complains about the younger generation obsessed with playing with fire). There are more mind-bending verbal and visual riddles, plus there''s plenty of hilarious hijinks hiding around every corner, whether it''s a buffalo that escapes one poem and roams through others or a meteor threatening to land on the book and obliterate everything. There''s even a mini book-within-a-book! In between it all, cartoonist Andrea Tsurumi’s diverse range of exuberant people, creatures, and anthropomorphic objects ripple through the pages with playful energy. If your head has a bellyache as you read this book, it will only be because you''re laughing WAY. TOO. HARD!

"Salinity of groundwater directly affects its suitability for different uses, including human consumption, stock water, agricultural use, and mineral or energy extraction. Traditionally, direct measurements of groundwater salinity at monitoring bores that intersect an aquifer have been used to map the spatial distribution of groundwater salinity. However, drilling is a logistically and economically challenging task, and we are usually left with a sparse set of measurements from which to infer groundwater salinity over large spatial extents. Airborne electromagnetic (AEM) sounding provides a solution to this problem. This is because AEM can be flown rapidly and cost-effectively over large swathes of land, and high subsurface bulk conductivities inferred from the AEM are well correlated with groundwater salinity in porous aquifers. We present here a methodology and case study from the Keep River Plains in the Northern Territory that provides information for land and watershed managers about the confidence with which salinity can be mapped over large areas using AEM. Extensive pore fluid sampling of the saturated zone, which lies beneath the watertable, enables this workflow to be used effectively. The results provided by our method can feed into decision making while accounting for uncertainty, enabling remote communities to manage their land and water resources effectively." -- Online abstract.
