There are many rumors about the bay off Guadalcanal in the Solomon Islands. Some say it was the site
of the lost empire of the Solomon king and that great treasure lies beneath the waters. Others say
terrible things happened here, atrocities and disappearances at the hands of cannibal giants.
Which is exactly what attracts the attention of husband-and-wife treasure-hunting team Sam and Remi
Fargo. How could they resist? On a hunt from the Solomons to Australia to Japan, what they find is
both wonderful and monstrous - and like nothing they have ever seen before.

Oliver Orme used to be a painter, well known and well rewarded, but the muse has deserted him. He is
also, as he confesses, a thief; he does not steal for gain, but for the thrill of possession, the need to
capture and fix the world around him. His worst theft is Polly, the wife of his friend Marcus, with
whom he has had an affair. When the affair is discovered, Oliver hides himself away in his childhood
home and from here he tells the story of a year, from one autumn to the next.
In his dazzling delineation of Oliver, John Banville has created one of the most memorable characters
in recent fiction: compelling yet weak, desperate for love and yet inclined towards acts of terrible
mischief. Set in a reimagined Ireland that is both familiar and deeply unsettling, The Blue
Guitar reveals a life haunted by the desire to possess and always aware of the frailty of the human
heart.

Jefferson Hinkley is back. In his role as an undercover investigator for the British Horseracing
Authority, Jeff is approached by the multi-time champion jockey, Dave Swinton, to discuss the
delicate matter of losing races on purpose. Little does Jeff realise that the call would result in an
attempt on his life, locked in a sauna with the temperature well above boiling point. Dave Swinton is
then found dead, burnt beyond recognition in his car at a deserted beauty spot. The police think it's a
suicide but Jeff is not so sure. He starts to investigate the possible races that Swinton could have
intentionally lost but discovers instead that others are out to prevent him from doing so, at any cost.

'I can't take any more of your revolting merciful kindness!'
Who would have thought that the great military hero Captain Hofmiller - that living monument to his
own courage - would have anything burdening his soul? But when he reveals his story, it is not one of
bravery but tragedy: a simple blunder at a dance from which disaster grows, ruining lives with his
weak, foolish pity...
Impatience of the Heart is Stefan Zweig's greatest novel, fiercely capturing human emotions in all their
subtleties and extremes - while Hofmiller, his unforgettable, naïve creation, misunderstands
everything, resulting in his downfall.

detective Remington Steele, a lonely French banker, a tiny Pacific island, and a pest control business
run by an ex-KGB man? You guessed it . . .
The Mark and the Void is Paul Murray's madcap new novel of institutional folly, following the success
of his wildly original breakout hit, Skippy Dies. While marooned at his banking job in the
bewilderingly damp and insular realm known as Ireland, Claude Martingale is approached by a downon-his-luck author, Paul, looking for his next great subject. Claude finds that his life gets steadily more
exciting under Paul's fictionalizing influence; he even falls in love with a beautiful waitress. But Paul's
plan is not what it seems-and neither is Claude's employer, the Bank of Torabundo, which inflates
through dodgy takeovers and derivatives-trading until-well, you can probably guess how that shakes
out.
The Mark and the Void is a stirring examination of the deceptions carried out in the names of art, love
and commerce - and is also probably the funniest novel ever written about a financial crisis.

'I felt alive. That pressure on my chest means being alive . . . '
Forty-nine, with a kind face, a good salary, three moody children and no serious ailments (apart from
varicose veins), widowed accountant Martín Santomé is about to retire. He assumes he'll take up

love with his shy young employee Laura Avellaneda. As they embark upon an affair, Martín feels the
weight of his quiet existence lift - until, out of nowhere, their joy is cut short. A million-copy bestseller
worldwide, this is the intimate, heartbreaking story of an ordinary man who is reborn when he falls in
love one final time.

2015 is the 70th anniversary of Animal Farm. To commemorate this important anniversary, Penguin
Classics is republishing the classic illustrated Animal Farm by Joy Batchelor and John Halas.
When the downtrodden animals of Manor Farm overthrow their master Mr Jones and take over the
farm themselves, they imagine it is the beginning of a life of freedom and equality. But gradually a
cunning, ruthless élite among them, masterminded by the pigs Napoleon and Snowball, starts to take
control. Soon the other animals discover that they are not all as equal as they thought, and find
themselves hopelessly ensnared as one form of tyranny is replaced with another. Orwell's chilling
'fairy story' is a timeless and devastating satire of idealism betrayed by power and corruption.

'I am tired of writing dainty little biographical things that pretend that I am a trim little housewife in a
Mother Hubbard stirring up appetizing messes over a wood stove.
I live in a dank old place with a ghost that stomps around in the attic room we've never gone into
(Ithink it's walled up) and the first thing I did when we moved in was to make charms in black crayon
on all the door sills and window ledges to keep out demons, and was successful in the main.'
The dark, unsettling writings of Shirley Jackson have established her as one of the great literary voices
of the twentieth century. This new volume of uncollected and recently discovered works brings
together a treasure trove of short stories - each a miniature masterwork of unease - with candid,
fascinating essays, lectures, articles and drawings.
Here an everyday world of dinner parties, children's playgrounds and bridge games is made unfamiliar
and troubling. Strange encounters occur, unwanted visitors arrive, places and objects take on lives of
their own. And, in pieces describing everything from her large, exasperating family to the small-town
inspiration for her infamous story The Lottery, Jackson also displays a gleeful, sharp humour.
This collection is the first opportunity to see Shirley Jackson's different ways of writing together,
switching between the ordinary and the uncanny, the comic and the horrific.

Henry Miller called the end of his life in America and the start of a new, bohemian existence in 1930s
Paris his 'rosy crucifixion'. His searing fictionalized autobiography of this time of liberation was

hostess who will become the great obsession of his life.

After five hectic years of retirement from Lord's Chapel, Father Tim Kavanagh returns with his wife,
Cynthia, from a so-called pleasure trip to the land of his Irish ancestors.
While glad to be at home in Mitford, something is definitely missing: a pulpit. But when he's offered
one, he decides he doesn't want it. Maybe he's lost his passion.
His adopted son, Dooley, wrestles with his own passion—for the beautiful and gifted Lace Turner, and
his vision to become a successful country vet. Dooley's brother, Sammy, still enraged by his mother's
abandonment, destroys one of Father Tim's prized possessions. And Hope Murphy, owner of Happy
Endings bookstore, struggles with the potential loss of her unborn child and her hard-won business.
All this as Wanda's Feel Good Café opens, a romance catches fire through an Internet word game, their
former mayor hatches a reelection campaign to throw the bums out, and the weekly Muse poses a
probing inquiry: Does Mitford still take care of its own?
Millions of fans will applaud the chance to spend time, once more, in the often comic and utterly

From the author of the Between Breaths novels comes a gripping romance about finding yourself
while taking a second chance at your first love . . .
Dakota Nakos was always the resilient, strong-willed achiever. But when her father dies and she's
entrusted with the family's casino, she feels vulnerable, scared, and more than a little emotional —not
exactly the best time to see an old lover she's never really gotten over.
Dakota once meant the world to Shane Garrity. Then suddenly he left town to train as a U.S. Marshal,
and their love for each other crashed into a memory. Now he's come home for her father's funeral, and
one look at the girl he left behind stirs up both memories and regrets, and reignites a fire he feared he'd
lost forever.
Dakota may be the same driven girl she always was, but she's also changed in ways neither could have
anticipated. She's not just a young woman searching for own identity in the Native American
community in which she was raised, but one questioning her new life outside her father's shadow.
Above all she wonders if Shane can push past her weakened defenses to rekindle what they once had,
or whether the intense blaze between them will ultimately reduce her heart to ashes.

where humanity's only hope lies in the bravery of one woman . . .
When the Throng came, the human race never stood a chance. The monsters were simply too strong,
too numerous. It only took a few months for them to take over and leave the few poor souls who
survived cowering in terror for years to come.
But even the monsters fear something: the dark goddess known as the Raven's Child. Legend says that
she alone is destined to destroy the Throng and free those under their cruel power.
And whoever wields her name and image could become the bane of the Throng and an inspiration to
humankind—even if she were only a young woman, like Carissa Devin, who has vowed to reclaim the
world for the human race, no matter what the cost . . .

In Twelve Who Don't Agree, journalist Valery Panyushkin profiles twelve Russians from across the
country's social spectrum: a politician, a journalist, an army officer, an author, a bank manager, a
laborer, a university student . . . Despite varied backgrounds, they all have one thing in commonparticipation in the historic March of the Dissidents. Held in 2007 to protest the eroding state of affairs
in Russia, the March was held in flagrant violation of increasingly stringent laws forbidding public
demonstrations. Though each of these men and women had personal reasons for joining the
demonstration, they shared a belief that the government of Vladimir Putin was betraying the promise
of Russia's future.
Risking the threats and violent retaliation inflicted upon journalists who dare to question the powers
that be, Panyushkin boldly illuminates the lives and convictions of these twelve men and women.
Refusing to accept the effects of a decade of natural asset-generated wealth, government corruption,
and media censorship, their accounts reveal the commitment to human rights and equality from which
a dissident's journey begins, and from which often there is no return.

Massimo Carlotto has been described as 'the reigning king of Mediterranean noir' (Boston Phoenix),
'more noir than even the toughest American noir' (Josh Bazell, author of Beat the Reaper), 'about as
gritty as they come' (The New York Times), and 'the best living Italian crime writer' (Il Manifesto).
Now, he gives his American readers his most memorable character yet: ex-con turned private
investigator Marco Buratti, a.k.a The Alligator.
Closing the door on a crime ridden past, Buratti plans to spend the rest of his days in the darkness of a
seedy nightclub sipping Calvados and listening to the blues. But things don't quite work out as he
planned: though he may be through with his past, his past isn't through with him. When his gangster
friend, Beniamino Rossini's girlfriend is kidnapped, Buratti is forced to investigate a case of
international drug dealing, and he will be thrown headfirst into the underworld he had struggled to
escape. In the world of Massimo Carlotto's fiction, new and old criminal organizations collide and
innocent bystanders are as hard to find as straight cops.
Marco 'The Alligator' Buratti is not only one of the most fully realized characters in contemporary
crime fiction but also the ideal vivisector of a world in which criminals hold all the cards.

In this subversive comic extravaganza, Dublin-born film-school dropout Trevor finds himself washed
up in New York where he answers an ad to work as a companion to Ed, a wheelchair-bound teenager
with muscular dystrophy. Ed's family is extremely wealthy and extremely dysfunctional. Ed's father, a
guilt-ridden judge, rarely emerges from his dusty study. Ed's morbidly obese, sexually perverse mother
retired to her bed after a skiing incident ten years ago. They may live in the same luxurious apartment,
but Ed and his parents barely interact. A bizarre yet touching friendship develops between Trevor and
Ed—both men are equally in need of someone who can show them understanding and compassion.
As the boisterous narrative increasingly focuses its attention on Trevor's past and the mysterious
stirrings of his psyche, The Companion becomes a darkly humorous tale of obsession and madness.
This Irish take on One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and A Confederacy of Dunces announces the
debut of a singular and electrifying new talent.

It is Christmas Eve. Sitting on the steps of the village church in front of an enormous bonfire lit in
celebration of the season, a father and his son exchange stories. The father speaks of life as an
emigrant from Italy, in perpetual limbo between departure and return, between France and his home.
The son tells of an idyllic childhood spent in a vivid, enchanting land marred only by his father's long
absences. Each hides an awful secret concerning the fate of a mysterious man whose affair with the
boy's older sister changed their lives. On this night of nights, as the long-buried details seep through
each man's story, a shared truth will finally emerge.
Set in an Arbëreshë town in southern Italy and told in alternating first-person voices, The Homecoming
Party is simultaneously a coming-of-age novel, a love story, and a heartfelt cry against the atrocious
standards of living that force so many southern Italians to seek a better life elsewhere.
Here is an intense and moving novel about the difficulties of saying goodbye by one of Italy's greatest
storytellers.

They saw the door of the judge's house open. A short, sprightly man appeared in the doorway, looked
left and right, and went back into the passage. A moment later, the improbable happened. The little
man reappeared, bent over, clinging to a long mass that he now started dragging through the mud.
Unsure why, Maigret has been transferred from Paris to the remote Atlantic coast of France. There,
among the lighthouses, mussel farms and the eerie wail of foghorns, he disturbs shameful secrets that
others would prefer hidden.

Nicholas van der Swart has always known he is different. Unable to live up to the expectations his
family, his heritage and his culture have of him, he grows increasingly diffident and introverted.
When, at the age of 19, he is conscripted into the South African army, he enters a world that is utterly
at odds with his every sensibility. Here, he will face the scorn and violence of his tormenters, but will
also find the strength to survive.
Although the Truth and Reconciliation Commission in South Africa has gone a long way toward
exposing and exorcising some of the atrocities committed in the name of Apartheid, very little has
been revealed about the adversities faced by gays under the regime. Set in 'Ward 22' during the Angola
Bush War that raged from 1966 to 1989 in South-west Africa, Moffie transports the reader into the
world of a young gay conscript with evocative realism.
At turns heart wrenching and humorous, told with great sensitivity and infused with hope, Moffie is a
long overdue account of a vital subject, place and time.

August 15, 1839. Messina, Italy. In the home of Marshall don Peppino Padellani di Opiri, preparations
for the feast of the Ascension are underway. This may be the last happy day in the life of Agata, the
Marshall's daughter. She and the wealthy Giacomo Lepre have fallen in love. Agata however must
forsake her beloved Giacomo for the good of her family. Unfortunately the extended families of these
illicit lovers cannot come to an agreement in their efforts to put the tawdry matter of their offspring's
affair to rest and when Marshall don Peppino dies, Agata's mother decides to ferry her daughter far
from Messina, to Naples, where she hopes to garner a stipend from the King. The only boat leaving
Messina that day is captained by the young Englishman, James Garson.
Following a tempestuous passage to Naples, during which Agata confesses her troubles to James,
Agata and her mother find themselves rebuffed by the king and Agata is forced to join a convent. The
Benedictine monastery of San Giorgio Stilita is rife with rancor and jealousy, illicit passions and
ancient feuds.
But Agata remains aloof, devoting herself to the cultivation of medicinal herbs, calmed by the steady
rhythms of monastic life. She reads all the books James Garson sends her and follows the news of the
various factions struggling to bring unity to Italy. She has accepted her life as a nun, but she is divided
by her yearnings for purity and religiosity and her desire to be part of the world. She is increasingly
torn when she realizes that her feelings for James Garson, though he is only a distant presence in her
life, have eclipsed those for Lepre.

In his own words, Tom is an insignificant man, powerless to affect changes even in himself let alone in
others. He is pathologically normal, with 'something of Buster Keaton' to him. Yet an initially
harmless fabrication motivated by his love for a woman will move him to center stage in one of the
20th century's most infamous conflicts and will ultimately change the course of history.
Tom is in love with Tola, an actress of the Warsaw stage. Tola, sadly, loves another, a celebrated and
charismatic actor named Cezar. But despite his unrequited love, Tom cannot help being concerned for
Tola. Following the Nazi occupation of Warsaw at the outset of WWII, when she tells him she wishes
to enlist in the Polish Resistance, he conceives of an imaginary political cadre, 'Rondo,' and cleverly
conscripts his beloved actress into it. The idea is innocent at first, little more than a flight of Tom's
fantasy designed to protect his beloved from the tribulations of the real Resistance. But through its
own comic momentum, Rondo unexpectedly becomes a major force in the Polish underground. When
Tom is drawn into the internal politics of the Resistance, the results are not only highly entertaining
but telling of the eternal follies of war.
Can a game, an innocent falsehood, become reality? Can a man in love who is otherwise ordinary in
every way change history? In Rondo, a modern classic now available for the first time in paperback,
Brandys explores many of the obsessions of twentieth century literature, giving us an eloquent
statement on politics, war, and personal exile while telling a story that is nothing if not a touching and
enthralling love story. One of the century's great literary figures, Brandys's voice has 'quickened the
conscience and enriched the writing of the twentieth century' (Time).

In a warehouse in Santiago, three aging friends meet and await the arrival of a man from their past.
Once militant supporters of Salvador Allende, they have grown disillusioned in the three and a half
decades since his assassination. Their city has changed under Pinochet, and so have they: heart
troubles, thinning hair, a few pounds too many around the waist; there is little left to connect them with
their glory days. But now, the three friends have been called together at the behest of the anarchist,
Pedro Nolasco, a.k.a. The Shadow, to carry out one final revolutionary gesture. But Lucho, Lolo and
Cacho wait in vain. On his way to the rendezvous, The Shadow meets with a sudden, gruesome and
blackly comic death. Without their fearless leader, the three men must turn to Coco Aravena, the most
reckless of their former comrades, for guidance. After years of playing second fiddle, this is the
bumbling Coco's chance to show them what he is capable of.
By one of Chile's most famous and beloved authors, The Shadow of What We Were is a humorous and
moving examination of what becomes of a glorious past in the inglorious present.

Alice is about to marry Mad. Alice is white. Mad is black. Alice is French; Mad, though he has studied
and lived in France for years, is not. They have been friends since childhood and never been
romantically involved. But now Mad is being threatened with deportation and marrying Alice strikes
both friends as the best solution to their problems. On the eve of her wedding, Alice reflects on their
years of friendship-from their childhood together to the first time she ever heard racial slurs being
directed at her friend to the victory of Jean- Marie Le Pen in the presidential primaries in 2002. This
succession of personal anecdotes forms a grand history of racism and a moving portrait of
contemporary youth. Recounting stories of rebellion and friendship, of the passage from indignant
adolescent to consciously engaged adult, Take This Man is a delightful and original novel by a talented
young author.

In 1899 Jeremy, a young engineer, leaves a small town in Maine to oversee the construction of a
railroad across East Africa. In charge of hundreds of Indian laborers, he soon finds himself the
reluctant hunter of two lions that are killing his men in almost nightly attacks on their camp. Plagued
by fear, wracked with malaria and alienated by a secret he can tell no one, he takes increasing solace in
the company of the African who helps him hunt. In 2000 Max, an American ethnobotonist, travels to
Rwanda in search of an obscure vine that could become a lifesaving pharmaceutical. Stationed in the
mountains, she closely shadows a family of gorillas, the last of their group to survive the encroachment
of local poachers. Max bears a striking gift for understanding the ape's non-verbal communication, but
their precarious solidarity is threatened as a violent rebel group from the nearby Congo draws close.

When a college graduate with a history of hapless jobs (ice cream scooper; gift wrapper; laziest ever
part-time clerk at The Pet Library) reads Robert Louis Stevenson's novel Treasure Island, she is
dumbstruck by the timid design of her life. When had she ever dreamed a scheme? When had she ever
done a foolish, overbold act? When had she ever, like Jim Hawkins, broke from her friends, raced for
the beach, stolen a boat, killed a man, and eliminated an obstacle that stood in the way of her getting a
hunk of gold?
Convinced that Stevenson's book is cosmically intended for her, she redesigns her life according to its
Core Values: boldness, resolution, independence and horn-blowing. Accompanied by her mother, her
sister, and a hostile Amazon parrot that refuses to follow the script, our heroine embarks on a domestic
adventure more frightening than anything she'd originally planned.
Treasure Island!!! is the story of a ferocious obsession, told by an original voice-intelligent, perverse,
relentlessly self- extricating, and funny.

'What was sex? Like the deity, it was omnipresent. It pervaded everything.'
Henry Miller's bold, explicit novels scandalized readers and remade the literature of his day. In this
uncompromising literary manifesto he argues that sex is at the heart of his writing because it is at the
heart of life - a vital force as essential as bread, money, work or play. Drawing on his own experiences
and on the writing of his famously banned novels in Paris, he shows sex as a mysterious realm that
must be explored if we are to be truly free.

'How we used to enjoy ourselves, how we used to sit together on those long autumn nights, how we

An outsider from the literary establishment of his day, Nikolai Leskov is one of the most unique voices
of nineteenth-century Russia, combining a profound religious spirit with a fascination for idiosyncratic
characters, lurid crimes, comic absurdity and the joy of pure story. This volume contains five of his
greatest short stories, including the matchless masterpiece Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk, the tale of a
passionate young woman who finds liberation from her stifling marriage in adultery, casual violence
and cold-blooded murder.

An unforgettable portrait of a self-deluded anti-hero and the failure of the American dream; a classic
parable of mass hysteria that became a powerful indictment of McCarthyism; a depiction of a family
haunted by the death of their son and other ghosts of the past; a tragic examination of how one man's
unhealthy obsession leads to the ultimate betrayal. Death of a Salesman, The Crucible, All My Sons
and A View from the Bridge are the masterpieces which secured Arthur Miller's place as the leading
figure of the American stage. In time for his centenary celebrations in October 2015, Penguin Classics
will publish a clothbound hardback edition of these four essential plays alongside photographs of the
stage productions taken by Miller's widow Inge Morath, and other photographers.

Arthur Miller's penultimate play, Resurrection Blues, is a darkly comic satirical allegory that poses the

throughout the countryside. The General plans to crucify the mysterious man, and the exclusive
television rights to the twenty-four-hour reality-TV event have been sold to an American network. An

events, Resurrection Blues is a comedic and tragic satire of precarious morals in our media-saturated

harrowing escape to South Korea through China's underworld of smugglers and human traffickers; and
her emergence as a leading human rights activist - all before her 21st birthday.

'What has happened to her would have destroyed many people. She hasn't survived, she's triumphed.'
— Ross Fitzgerald
In a small Riverina township in the 1950s, an unmarried white woman entered hospital to give birth.
Her baby was Aboriginal; the father's identity was unknown. The young mother checked herself out as
soon as she could, leaving her newborn daughter behind.
For Linda Burney, life began tough in the tiny NSW township of Whitton. Her birth had been a
scandal and caused her to be mocked and reviled by some — yet she was also loved by the elderly
relatives who took her in and quickly won friends and admiration.
From these humble beginnings in country NSW, Linda grew to become a successful teacher, then a
leader in a vital community organization, an inspiring political leader, Director General of a state
department, and was an outstandingly successful minister in NSW government while her party
crumbled around her.
But while her professional life flourished, her personal world imploded, a victim of prolonged
domestic violence, left unsupported to bring-up two children. Finally, the tragic illness and death of the
man she has called 'the love of my life' and the debilitating illness of a child have not diminished her
capacity for friendship, loyalty, and generosity.
This is the story of a woman who has overcome extraordinary adversity to become a great leader in the
Australian community, described by the author as 'the most remarkable woman I've ever met'.

This enthralling study is the behind-the-scenes story of how the United States forged its wartime
alliance with Britain.
It brings out of history's shadows the three key American players in London: Edward R. Murrow, the
handsome, chain-smoking news reporter; Averell Harriman, the hard-driving millionaire who ran
FDR's Lend-Lease programme in London; and John G. Winant, the shy, idealistic US ambassador.
Citizens of London examines how these men fought to save Britain in its darkest hour. Each formed
close ties with Winston Churchill — so much so that all became romantically involved with members
of the prime minister's family.
Drawing on a variety of primary sources, Lynne Olson skilfully depicts the dramatic personal journeys
of these men who, determined to save Britain from Hitler, helped convince a cautious FDR and
reluctant American public to back the British at a critical time. Deeply human, brilliantly researched,
and beautifully written, Citizens of London is a triumph.

In December 2003, shopping centre billionaire Frank Lowy walked into a packed media conference
and announced the creation of a new professional football league. Armed with $15 million of
government funds, Lowy wanted to wake the sleeping giant of Australian sport, and the A-League
kicked off in 2005.
Over the competition's first decade it has seen more than its fair share of drama, on and off the field.
International superstars have come to play, eccentric billionaires have bought and sold franchises, and
clubs have folded after haemorrhaging millions of dollars. Yet the football has been captivating, and
attendances and television viewership have grown as Australians have embraced the world game like
never before.
Relying on unprecedented access to key figures, John Stensholt and Shaun Mooney reveal the true
story behind the A-League's first ten years: the egos, the power plays and the rows between some of
Australia's richest men as they try to make football Australia's favourite game.

As a Navy SEAL, Brandon Webb rose to the top of the world's most elite sniper corps, experiencing
years of punishing training and combat missions from the Persian Gulf to Afghanistan. Among the best
of the best, he led the SEALs' clandestine sniper training program as course manager, instructing a
new generation of the world's top snipers. Along the way, Webb served beside, trained, and supported
men he came to know not just as fellow warriors, but as friends and, eventually, as heroes. Among
Heroes gives his personal account of these eight extraordinary SEALs, who gave all for their
comrades—and their country.
Here are the true stories behind the remarkable valor and abiding humanity of those 'sheepdogs' (as
they call themselves) who protect us from the wolves of the world. Of Matt 'Axe' Axelson, who
perished on the Lone Survivor mission in Afghanistan. Of Chris Campbell, Heath Robinson, and JT
Tumilson, who were among the thirty-eight casualties of Extortion 17, the Chinook helicopter shot
down in August 2011. Of Glen Doherty, Webb's best friend for more than a decade, killed while
helping secure the successful rescue and extraction of American CIA and State Department diplomats
in Benghazi, Libya, on September 11, 2012; and other close friends, classmates, and fellow warriors.
In Among Heroes, Webb offers eight intensely personal profiles of uncommon courage—who these
men were, what they stood for, and how they came to make the ultimate sacrifice. These are men who
left behind powerfully instructive examples of what it means to be alive—and what it truly means to
be a hero.

Leisel Jones is rightly regarded as one of the greatest breaststrokers ever. At just fifteen, she won two
silver medals at the Sydney Olympic Games in 2000; she went on to win gold at Athens 2004 and
Beijing 2008. At London 2012, she became the first Australian swimmer to compete at four Olympics.
In London, after yet another Olympic final, Leisel handled herself with great composure when the
Australian media claimed she'd been 'too fat' to swim. She also blew the whistle on bullying and
dysfunction within the Australian swim team.
For the first time, Leisel reveals the constant pressure she was under – from coaches, from the media
and from herself – to be perfect. Despite the highs of her swimming stardom, she suffered depression,
and at one time attempted to take her own life. She has emerged from life as an athlete with maturity
and good humour, having finally learnt how to be herself and live with confidence.
In Body Lengths, Leisel tells the candid story of what it's like to be a young woman thrust into the
limelight through early sporting success. Body Lengths is the inspiring story of an Australian sporting
hero, told with humour, optimism and style.

Australia was the only OECD country not to have gone into recession during the GFC. Our standard of
living is one of the highest in the world, and we're a multicultural mix of talented migrants from all
over the world. We've been here before: at the end of the goldrush in the 1850s, Australians had the
highest standard of living on earth. And we lost our nerve; we shut the doors to immigration, tried to
hoard what we had and entered almost a hundred years of decline. Our second chance is now; will we
use it or lose it?
Crunching numbers and weaving history into a riveting, rollicking tale, George Megalogenis brilliantly
chronicles the waves of immigration from the First Fleet onwards and uses his unique abilities in
decoding economics and demography to advance this new insight into our history, and our future.

The Delhi Sultanate period (1206-1526) is commonly portrayed as an age of chaos and violence-of
plundering kings, turbulent dynasties, and the aggressive imposition of Islam on India. But it was also
the era that saw the creation of a pan-Indian empire, on the foundations of which the Mughals and the
British later built their own Indian empires. The encounter and Hinduism also transformed, among
other things, India's architecture, literature, music and food. Abraham Eraly brings this fascinating
period vividly alive, combining erudition with powerful storytelling, and analysis with anecdote.

'When I was younger, I thought of being a migrant and being foreign as things that made me different,
an outsider. Now, I think these experiences are increasingly universal . . .'
Since 2000 novelist Mohsin Hamid has been writing about what it means to be an individual in an
increasingly fragmented world. In the pieces gathered here he gives us a portrait of a man coming to
terms with not only his place in that world but also how its convulsions and changes shape so many of
us - for good and ill. Whether writing of his home life, about being a migrant or of today's geopolitical
fault lines, Hamid gives us his deeply personal take on life at the beginning of the 21st century.

Behind Nazi Lines: My Father's Heroic Quest to Save 149 World War II

In 1944, hundreds of Allied soldiers were trapped in POW camps in occupied France. The odds of
their survival were long. The odds of escaping, even longer. But one-man had the courage to fight the
odds . . .
An elite British S.A.S. operative on an assassination mission gone wrong. A Jewish New Yorker
injured in a Nazi ambush. An eighteen-year-old Gary Cooper lookalike from Mobile, Alabama. These
men and hundreds of other soldiers found themselves in the prisoner-of-war camps off the Atlantic
coast of occupied France, fighting brutal conditions and unsympathetic captors. But, miraculously,
local villagers were able to smuggle out a message from the camp, one that reached the Allies and
sparked a remarkable quest by an unlikely—and truly inspiring—hero.
Andy Hodges had been excluded from military service due to a lingering shoulder injury from his
college-football days. Devastated but determined, Andy refused to sit at home while his fellow
Americans risked their lives, so he joined the Red Cross, volunteering for the toughest assignments on
the most dangerous battlefields. In the fall of 1944, Andy was tapped for what sounded like a suicide
mission: a desperate attempt to aid the Allied POWs in occupied France—alone and unarmed,
matching his wits against the Nazi war machine.
Despite the likelihood of failure, Andy did far more than deliver much-needed supplies. By the end of
the year, he had negotiated the release of an unprecedented 149 prisoners—leaving no one behind.
This is the true story of one man's selflessness, ingenuity, and victory in the face of impossible
adversity.
'Filled with secret missions, Nazi villains, and daring escapes that actually happened, Behind Nazi
Lines is thrilling, epic, inspiring—and have we mentioned true? Andy Hodges is a real hero whose
story must never be forgotten.' Eric Metaxas, New York Times bestselling author
of Miracles and Bonhoeffer
'A riveting and action-packed story, Behind Nazi Lines takes you inside a Nazi POW camp in 1944
German-occupied France and shows how one brave American Red Cross volunteer negotiated the
release of 149 Allied POWs. A great read.' Marcus Brotherton, author of Shifty's War
'One of the most intriguing books I have read on WWII . . . A fascinating book about one of America's
unsung heroes in the European Theater . . . Captivating and nearly impossible to put down. I
recommend it with enthusiasm to professional historians, history buffs, and anyone who wants to be
inspired and entertained.' Lyle W. Dorsett, author of Serving God and Country
'What a page-turner! It reads like a good novel, but it is all true. '—Private First Class Bernard Rader,
K Company, 301st Regiment, 94th Division
'A fascinating story of the courageous efforts to rescue POWs held by the Third Reich. Andy's story is
one of great courage, risks, sacrifice, and commitment to a transcendent cause. He was a hero who
risked his life to bring his fellow Americans home with honor.' Lt. Gen. William 'Jerry' Boykin,
former commander U.S. Army's Delta Force
'Superbly written and extensively researched, Andy Hodges' story recounts a compelling piece of
military history. It brings a human dimension to an underappreciated heroic episode to life. This
informative, enjoyable and excellent work exemplifies a labor of love and courage one man had for his
country.' Lt. Gen. Ronald L. Burgess Jr., former director of the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency,

Acid Test: LSD, Ecstasy, and the Power to Heal

It's no secret that psychedelic drugs have the ability to cast light on the miraculous reality hidden
within our psyche. Almost immediately after the discovery of LSD less than a hundred years ago,
psychedelics began to play a crucial role in the quest to understand the link between mind and matter.
With an uncanny ability to reveal the mind's remote frontiers and the unmapped areas of human
consciousness, LSD and MDMA (better known as Ecstasy) have proven extraordinarily effective in
treating anxiety disorders such as PTSD—yet the drugs remain illegal for millions of people who
might benefit from them.
Anchoring Tom Shroder's Acid Test are the stories of Rick Doblin, the founder and executive director
of the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS), who has been fighting
government prohibition of psychedelics for more than thirty years; Michael Mithoefer, a former
emergency room physician, now a psychiatrist at the forefront of psychedelic therapy research; and his
patient Nicholas Blackston, a former Marine who has suffered unfathomable mental anguish from the
effects of brutal combat experiences in Iraq. All three men are passionate, relatable people; each
flawed, each resilient, and each eccentric, yet very familiar and very human.
Acid Test covers the first heady years of experimentation in the fifties and sixties, through the backlash
of the seventies and eighties, when the drug subculture exploded and uncontrolled use of street
psychedelics led to a PR nightmare that created the drug stereotypes of the present day. Meticulously
researched and astoundingly informative, this is at once a personal story of intertwining lives against
an epic backdrop, and a compelling argument for the unprecedented healing properties of drugs that
have for decades been characterized as dangerous, illicit substances.

Soon enough, nobody will remember life before the Internet. What does this unavoidable fact mean?
Those of us who have lived both with and without the crowded connectivity of online life have a rare
opportunity. We can still recognize the difference between Before and After. We catch ourselves idly
reaching for our phones at the bus stop. Or we notice how, midconversation, a fumbling friend dives
into the perfect recall of Google. In this eloquent and thought-provoking book, Michael Harris argues
that amid all the changes we're experiencing, the most interesting is the end of absence-the loss of lack.
The daydreaming silences in our lives are filled; the burning solitudes are extinguished. There's no true
'free time' when you carry a smartphone. Today's rarest commodity is the chance to be alone with your
thoughts.

The Mater Children's Hospital – the realisation of a dream for the Sisters of Mercy – opened on 6 July
1931, in the midst of the Great Depression. Triumphs and challenges followed each other through
eight decades. In 2014, the Mater Children's Hospital and Brisbane's earliest children's hospital, the
Royal Children's Hospital, closed when the Queensland government's Lady Cilento Children's Hospital
opened.
Bricks and mortar, techniques and technologies form part of the story of a hospital, but hospitals are
'people' places. Patients and parents, nurses and doctors, administrators and planners and cooks and
cleaners gave the Mater Children's Hospital its own unique 'personality', moulded by the philosophy
and values of the Sisters of Mercy.
This history – a companion to Expressions of Mercy, Helen Gregory's centenary history of Brisbane's
Mater hospitals – tells the story of the Mater Children's Hospital against the background of rapidly
growing, ethnically diverse populations in South East Queensland, developments in paediatrics and
changes in governmental health policies.

In the cold, dark summer of 1981, crowds gathering in Britain's streets could mean a royal wedding or a riot. Margaret Thatcher's government, taking power on a promise of renewal, seemed in
catastrophic decline. Britain remained troubled, inward-looking, run down by recession, transfixed by
the threat of nuclear war. Yet, within this bleak landscape, something was stirring.
Promised You A Miracle is the extraordinary untold story of Britain's revolution in the head: a shift in
mass consciousness in which an old, self-doubting nation was transformed into something else:
outward-looking, materialistic, colourful, lonely and cruel. In the early eighties, a new world was
messily brought into being: a miner's son transformed the rubble-strewn flatness of London's
docklands into a new city centre of high rise and high finance; austere post-punk bands abandoned
their leftwing politics and grey overcoats for glossy transatlantic careers; a loose-tongued, PR-savvy
young socialist seized London's city hall; and a small start-up in west Yorkshire, in the middle of the
Falklands war, made a gadget the size of a gold bar that stopped the British task force from being
blown apart.
Leading us into these years of brittle optimism and upheaval, Andy Beckett asks why Britain changed
so rapidly and fundamentally; what it felt like to be part of this convulsive change - or to be left
behind; and how people were swept up in it, sometimes without realising. Yet the effects of this
revolution would ripple outwards, across the world - and we are still living with the consequences,
happily or otherwise.

To millions of people, Nick Offerman is America. Both Nick and his character, Ron Swanson, are
known for their humor and patriotism in equal measure.
After the great success of his autobiography, Paddle Your Own Canoe, Offerman now focuses on the
lives of those who inspired him. From George Washington to Willie Nelson, he describes twenty-one
heroic figures and why they inspire in him such great meaning. He'll combine both serious history with
light-hearted humor—comparing, say, George Washington's wooden teeth to his own experience as a
woodworker. The subject matter will also allow Offerman to expound upon his favorite topics, which
readers love to hear—areas such as religion, politics, woodworking and handcrafting, agriculture,
creativity, philosophy, fashion, and, of course, meat.

An essential sacred text of Tibetan Buddhism, The All-Pervading Melodious Drumbeat tells the story
of Ra Lotsawa Dorjé Drak. Though canonized as a saint and a fully enlightened buddha, the eleventhcentury Ra Lotsawa's life story presents a darker path than those taken by Siddhartha Gautama or
Milarepa. Viewed by some as a murderous villain and by others as a liberator of human suffering, Ra
Lotsawa used his formidable power and magical abilities to defeat his rivals, gain a devoted following,
and grow rich. Despite these deeds, his fame also rests on an illustrious career as a translator of
Buddhist scriptures, through which he helped spark a renaissance of Buddhism in Tibet. Now readers
in English have their first opportunity to encounter one of the most colorful and memorable figures in
Tibetan Buddhist history.

updated third edition he explains the Orthodox views on such widely ranging matters as Free
Will, Purgatory, the Papacy and the relation between the different Churches, making this the definitive

The Upanishads are often considered the most important literature from ancient India. Yet many

simple, and insightful – yet remains faithful to the original Sanskrit.
As Western Sanskrit scholars who have spent their lives immersed in meditative practice, Katz and
Egenes offer a unique perspective in penetrating the depths of Eastern wisdom and expressing these
insights in modern yet poetic language.
Their historical introduction is suited to newcomers and experienced readers alike, providing the
