Gardening for the Zombie Apocalypse

by Isabel Lloyd & Phil Clarke / Head of Zeus
illustrated by Christian Wood
Paperback, 240pp (fully illustrated)

Hey bro! Gardening is not just for grannies. This gardening book for millenials and gen z is is imperative if one wants to survive the coming zombie apocalypse. This non-fiction lifestyle book is eye-catching with two-colour Pantone printing in a zingy, radioactive green. But that doesn’t mean it’s light on substance. The text is both witty and dense, highly illustrated with diagrams, asides, quotes, footnotes, lists, and tables — all the information survivors need to grow veg for maximum nutritional survival.

Each chapter starts with a humourous opener, stepping readers through each stage of the apocalypse. Chapters contain thorough gardening information with cheeky asides. Following each chapter is a how-to section detailing a step-by-step activity.

The illustrator has provided seven double page spreads, from which all internal spot illustrations were built during the design process.

Finance Aesthetics

A Critical Glossary

Goldsmiths Press / MIT Press
Paperback, 248pp.

Goldsmith Press’s PERC series seeks to refresh political economy, in the original sense of the term, as a pluralist and critical approach to the study of capitalism. In doing so it challenges the sense of economics as a discipline, separate from the other social sciences, aiming instead to combine economic knowledge with various other disciplinary approaches.

The cover design connects the volatility of economic systems with the social unrest that leads to street riots and broken shop windows.

Planetary Portals

by Casper Laing Ebbensgaard, Kerry Holden, Kathryn Yusoff and Michael Salu / Goldsmiths Press
Planetarities series

Planetary Portals focuses on the colonial afterlives of extraction in southern Africa and its colonisation of the future. Through a critical engagement with imperial archives – specifically the archival records of British imperialist Cecil Rhodes during the Kimberley diamond rush (1871), South African gold rushes (1873-1886), and the “African expansion” of imperialism – the book maps new cartographies of passage into alternate futures.

Guided by an ethics of repair and restitution of silenced histories, Planetary Portals investigates how dreams of Empire are sustained through geographic imaginaries of Africa-as-mine, Africaas-continent and Africa-as-resource.
