The revealing autobiography of New Zealand rugby legend Jerome Kaino.
At just 21 years old Jerome Kaino was touted as the next big thing in world rugby. In his first year of professional
rugby, he made spectacular debuts for Auckland, the Blues and the All Blacks. It was a dream beginning for this
quiet Samoan kid from South Auckland. But just as quickly as it all began, his career took a sharp turn for the worse,
his life spiralling out of control.
With over 50 All Black caps, 100 matches for the Blues and a Rugby World Cup victory to his name, Jerome Kaino is
one of New Zealand's true sporting heroes. Now for the very first time, Kaino lays bare his greatest triumphs and
adversities, with rare insights ahead of perhaps his greatest test of all - winning back-to-back world cups for New
Zealand.

Inside the Cup is the definitive story of the triumphs, oddities, heartbreaks, dramas and disasters of every All Black
campaign at the Rugby World Cup. New Zealand rugby's master storyteller, Phil Gifford, takes you behind the
scenes to relive the action as it happened and as told by those directly involved.
You'll find out why Buck Shelford was dropped, which All Blacks were actually sick before the 1995 final, why Taine
Randell believes he shouldn't have been captain in 1999, what exactly led to Graham Henry being reappointed as
coach despite the miserable result in 2007, and why Steven Donald is called Beaver.
Gifford knows all of the players and personalities – he was there. He details a fascinating and often tumultuous
journey, from a boozy dinner in Cardiff where the idea for a global tournament first got off the ground, to the
breathtaking finale of the victorious 2011 Cup. Inside the Cup is the perfect book for every true rugby fan.

Quirky and wonderfully candid, Neil Young's new book of reminiscences is as compelling as his first book. He returns
with more unforgettable stories about his six decades in the music business - but this is not your average rock
biography. He centres this new work on one of his life's passions, cars, using the framework of all the cars he's ever
owned to construct a narrative of his life and career, exploring and demonstrating how memories are attached to
objects. Young also expresses regret for the environmental impact of his past cars, and now passionately advocates
the use of clean energy.

From the bestselling, Edgar Award-winning author of the 'terrifically good' The New York Times, Red Sparrow, a
compulsively readable new novel about star-crossed Russian agent Dominika Egorova and CIA's Nate Nash in a
desperate race to the finish.
Captain Dominika Egorova of the Russian Intelligence Service (SVR) has returned from the West to Moscow. She
despises the men she serves, the oligarchs, and crooks, and thugs of Putin's Russia. What no one knows is that
Dominika is working for the CIA as Washington's most sensitive penetration of SVR and the Kremlin.
As she expertly dodges exposure, Dominika deals with a murderously psychotic boss; survives an Iranian
assassination attempt; escapes a counterintelligence ambush; rescues an arrested agent and exfiltrates him out of
Russia; and has a chilling midnight conversation in her nightgown with President Putin. Complicating these risks is
the fact that Dominika is in love with her CIA handler, Nate Nash, and their lust is as dangerous as committing
espionage in Moscow. And when a mole in the SVR finds Dominika's name on a restricted list of sources, it is a
virtual death sentence...
'Just as fast-paced, heart-pounding, and action-packed as Red Sparrow, Jason Matthews's second novel confirms he
is 'an insider's insider . . . and a masterful storyteller.' Vince Flynn, #1 New York Times bestselling author

Austin and the NUMA Special Projects team. But when those on site are trapped in alpine tunnels flooding with

Soon Austin is plunged into a mystery involving a virulent algal weed ravaging the Atlantic's Lost City trench, while
he and the team face a family of astonishing greed - who will stop at nothing to get what they want . . .

1998, Wellington. A series of catastrophic earthquakes has left the city destroyed. Returning to the ruin from
London, a New Zealand writer explores the devastation, compelled to find out for himself what has become of the
city he left years ago. As he drifts through the desolate streets, home now to the shell-shocked and dispossessed,
he finds among the survivors a woman and a child. And although they are haunted, hostile and broken, the
strangers feel eerily familiar to him: as if they promise the answers to the mysteries he once swore to leave behind.
A layered meditation on love, history, creativity and loss, The Pale North is an audacious and disarming novel, a
forensic journey into one writer's short but singularly brilliant body of work.
Invoking W. G. Sebald, Julian Barnes and Lloyd Jones, Hamish Clayton's new novel is every bit as visionary and
intrepid as its award-winning predecessor, Wulf.

Early nineteenth century New Zealand – the great chief Te Rauparaha has conquered tiny Kapiti Island, from where
Ngati Toa launches brutal attacks on its southern enemies. Off the coast of Kapiti, English trader John Stewart seeks
to trade with Te Rauparaha, setting off a train of events that forever change the course of New Zealand history.
Narrated by two English sailors on board Stewart's ship, these events are also eerily resonant of a more distant
memory, stretching back into mythology, of the charismatic leader Wulf and an ancient lament. History, it seems,
may be repeating itself.
Wulf, Hamish Clayton's inventive, brilliant first novel, explores a subject little covered in New Zealand fiction, and
marks the emergence of a startlingly assured, exciting new voice.
'I was blown away by Wulf's imaginative derring-do. It is easily the most impressive debut I've read in a long time.'
—Lloyd Jones, author of Mister Pip
'A powerfully imagined novel – assured, crisply poetic and spellbinding in its unfurling narrative. . . . Clayton [is] a
gifted writer for a new generation.'

But when Ben takes a step into the unknown, and brings devastation on the family, it forces them to look at
everything in a whole new way. Because, as far as they know, this is the end of the line for their family.
So what will happen if they get a second chance? Can they - should they - go back to the way they were?

Is Brigitte a loving wife and mother, or a cold-blooded killer?
Kurt Cobain stands at the top of the stairs, wearing the brown sweater. 'Please don't leave me,' she yells up at him.

Sweet voices of little children are singing 'Morningtown ride'.
Nobody knows why she was in the east of the city so early on the morning she was left for dead by a hit-and-run

'Hell is other people' and journalist Mimi Fleming is fast realizing on her return to Notting Hill that there is no
greater hell than the W11 neighbours with whom she shares an exclusive communal garden. Since she's been away,
all her friends have become - impossibly - even richer, thinner, and younger. They're busy not just turning back the
clock but also their homes into palatial iceberg houses - with basement swimming pools.
But Mimi's troubles are just beginning. There's the compromising and risky mission she'd undertaking to re-launch
her so-called journalism career (plus an embarrassing case of mistaken identity thanks to Google). Then there's her
children who will only communicate via WhatsApp . And worst of all, Mimi's fallen for someone, and it's certainly
not her husband Ralph.
Ralph and Mimi have already been to Notting Hell and back. But is this the end or the beginning of something new?

Rarely have the foundations upon which our ideas of motherhood and womanhood rest been so candidly
questioned. This compelling novel tells the story of one woman's headlong descent into what she calls an 'absence
of sense' after being abandoned by her husband.
Olga's 'days of abandonment' become a desperate, dangerous freefall into the darkest places of the soul as she
roams the empty streets of a city that she has never learned to love. When she finds herself trapped inside the four
walls of her apartment in the middle of a summer heat wave, Olga is forced to confront her ghosts, the potential
loss of her own identity, and the possibility that life may never return to normal again.
'Her novels are intensely, violently personal, and because of this they seem to dangle bristling key chains of
confession before the unsuspecting reader.' New Yorker
'Ferrante puts hammer to flesh and invites her reader to penetrate the page.' Financial Times
'Every now and again, an author comes along who dares to remind us that the very pain of abandonment can
ratchet us back a few evolutionary notches, knock us to the ground and leave us crawling, babbling like beasts.' San

Leda is a middle-aged, divorced mother devoted to her work as an English professor. After the departure of her
grown-up daughters, she takes a holiday on the Italian coast. But after a few days things become unsettling; on the
beach she encounters a family whose brash behaviour proves menacing.
Leda is overwhelmed by memories of the difficult and unconventional choices she made as a mother and their
consequences for herself and her family. The tale of a woman's rediscovery of herself soon becomes the story of a
ferocious confrontation with the past.
The Lost Daughter is a profound exploration of the conflicting emotions that tie women to their children.

Following her mother's untimely and mysterious death, Delia embarks on a voyage of discovery through the streets
of her native Naples searching for the truth about her family. Reality is buried somewhere in the fertile soil of
memory, and Delia is determined to find it.
This stylish fiction is set in a beguiling but often hostile Naples, whose chaotic, suffocating streets become one of
the book's central motifs. A story about mothers and daughters, and the complicated knot of lies and emotions that
binds them.
'Ferrante's polished language belies the rawness of her imagery, which conveys perversity, violence, and bodily

'It's the first time a novel ever made me get physical, and it was the first good mood I'd been in for weeks.' New York

'Like Joyce's Ulysses, this journey draws vigorously on its cityscape. Naples is one of those sun-drenched spooky

Late at night, long ago, when I was about to turn twenty-one, I was crossing the Place des Pyramides on my way to
the Concorde when a car appeared suddenly out of the darkness. At first I thought it had just brushed me, then I felt
a sharp pain from my ankle to my knee...
In the opening scene of Paris Nocturne, the nameless narrator is hit by a car near Place des Pyramides. He and the
woman driving the car are taken in a police van to the hospital. He's sure he has met her somewhere. He is given
ether, wakes up in a different hospital, and the woman, Jacqueline Beausergent, has vanished. A mysterious figure
presents him with an account of the accident and hands him an envelope stuffed with bank notes.
Does Jacqueline Beausergent have the answers to the narrator's questions about the past, about his father? He will
comb the city's cafes and stations to find her.
Paris Nocturne is like a mystery novel in which we are searching for the crime itself, as Modiano relentlessly
explores the elusive nature of memory.

I'd tell him everything, about my mother, about Jean Borand, about the apartment near the Bois de Boulogne, and
about the girl they used to call Little Jewel...The same terrifying panic that came over me in the street and woke me
with a start at five in the morning.
One day in the corridors of the metro, nineteen-year-old Thérèse sees a woman in a yellow coat. Could this be her
mother? Who called her Little Jewel? But didn't her mother die in Morocco years earlier? She follows the woman,
hoping to find answers to questions that have haunted her since childhood. As Thérèse describes her elusive
memories, travelling around Paris, she reveals how every corner of the city recalls the past.
Little Jewel is a profound story about memory, childhood, betrayal, and the search for identity and connection.
Called the 'Marcel Proust of our time', Modiano writes prose that is limpid, spare and elegant. The 2014 Nobel Prize
committee awarded him the prize 'for the art of memory with which he has evoked the most ungraspable human
destinies and uncovered the life-world of the Occupation'.

When the father she barely knew dies suddenly, midwife Eve Wilson decides she owes it to him to go to the funeral
and meet her stepfamily in Red Sand. She doesn't expect to be so completely charmed by the beautiful remote
township in far west Queensland – or by local station owner, Lex McKay.
After disappointment and heartbreak in Sydney, Dr Callie Wilson doesn't hesitate to move home and spend some
time with her grieving mother. When she is approached to oversee the establishment of the area's first medical
clinic, it seems the perfect opportunity. And Callie is keen to involve Eve, the sister she's just getting to know.
Melbourne-based obstetrician Sienna Wilson can't understand why anyone would want to bury themselves in the

seems fate is intent on bringing the three sisters together. And when disaster strikes, they must each decide if
being true to themselves means being there for each other . . .

'Dapin's writing is more than witty, tough, moving and highly original: it's explosive.' ROBERT DREWE
John 'Nashville' Grant is an American military policeman in the R&R town of Vung Tau, tucked safely behind the
front lines of the Vietnam War. Nashville knows how everything works: the army, the enemy, bars, secrets, men and
– at least in Vung Tau – women. He's keeping the peace by keeping his head down and making the most of it.
His new partner is a tall man from a small town: Shorty, from Bendigo. Shorty knows nothing about anything, and he
wishes people would stop mistaking that for stupidity.
When another MP shoots a corpse in a brothel, the delicate balance between the military police, South Vietnamese
gangsters and the Viet Cong is upset. Nashville and his partner are drawn into the heart of the matter by their
violent colleague Sergeant Caution, the obsequious landlord Moreau, the improbable entrepreneur Izzy Berger and
the mysterious, omnipotent Mamasan. Events begin to force the pair to uphold the law and perhaps – ultimately,
unwillingly – to take it into their own hands.
Written with a brilliant, concise wit and brutal, uncompromising insight, R&R is a startlingly original portrait of men
and war in the twilight zone behind the front, a searing study of the violence that we do to others, and ourselves.
PRAISE FOR MARK DAPIN'S NOVELS:

Australian, bit of magic.' Courier-Mail
'Every other week, it seems, a fine new Australian novel is published. Few, however, can equal the vernacular flair,

unexpected close.' Canberra Times
'A literary cocktail of rare originality. It is not hard to see why Mark Dapin's stylish novel, set in Nineties Sydney, was
such a critical success in Australia. The writing has real freshness . . . the story glides effortlessly from an intriguing

'I have no money, no resources, no hopes. I am the happiest man alive'
Henry Miller's blazing first novel follows a young American writer as he makes his way through 1930s bohemian
Paris, encountering penniless artists, pimps, 'prostitutes like wilted flowers', princesses, drunks, hustlers and sexual
adventurers. Banned as pornographic and the subject of several obscenity trials, Tropic of Cancer defied the
conventions of its day and of language itself: a verbally dazzling, carnivalesque hymn to freedom and being alive
that remade the modern novel.

'It was the ideal street - for a boy, a lover, a maniac, a drunkard, a crook, a lecher, a thug'
In 1920s New York one Henry V. Miller, personnel manager of the Cosmodemonic Telegraph Co., spends his days
hiring and firing a succession of wasters, maniacs, perverts, ex-cons, idiots and whores - while also writing the most
important work of literature ever published and enjoying increasingly outrageous erotic exploits. Banned for thirty
years, this riotous companion piece to Tropic of Cancer is a frank portrait of the Brooklyn of Miller's youth - its
skyscrapers and sewers, its lusts and dejection - and a savage attack on America.

Harry Gill, a moderately successful writer of historical fiction, has been awarded the annual Watercress-Armstrong
Fellowship—a 'living memorial' to the poet Margaret Rose Hurndell. He arrives in the French Riviera town of
Menton, where Hurndell once lived and worked, to write. But the Memorial Room is not suitable—it has no
electricity or water. Hurndell never wrote here, though it is expected of Harry.
Janet Frame's previously unpublished novel draws on her own experiences in Menton, in the south of France as a
Katherine Mansfield Fellow. It is a wonderful social satire, a send-up of the cult of the dead author, and—in the best
tradition of Frame—a fascinating exploration of the complexity and the beauty of language.
'Not just a brilliant novel but a considered and poignant posthumous literary act, a curtain call by one of the world's
greatest authors...A deeply funny book.' Weekend Australian
'Frame's sentences are marvels, winding like narrow alleys through hill towns: They open spectacular vistas.
Brilliant.' Kirkus Reviews
'A deliciously mischievous piece of fun, this is sharp social satire, ruthless in its mockery of literary pretension.'

Paul Theroux, the master teller of tales, presents twenty new, delicious and disturbing stories. In Minor Watt, a
famous art collector publicly destroys his most valuable works, enjoying the feeling of power it gives him - until he
meets his match. In Our Raccoon Year a divorced father wages war on the animals which invade his property after
his wife leaves. Richly imaginative, often sharp as a knife, these stories will entertain as much as they unsettle.
Enjoy!
Theroux understands, often with devastating effect, how dramas both big and small can produce catastrophic and
lasting psychological consequences.' Guardian

The poems, prose, and drama gathered in When You Are Old present a fresh portrait of the Nobel Prize–winning
writer as a younger man: the 1890s aesthete who dressed as a dandy, collected Irish folklore, dabbled in magic, and
wrote heartrending poems for his beloved, the beautiful, elusive Irish revolutionary Maud Gonne. Included here are
such celebrated, lyrical poems as 'The Lake Isle of Innisfree' and 'He Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven,' as well as
Yeats's imaginative retellings of Irish fairytales—including his first major poem, 'The Wanderings of Oisin,' based on
a Celtic fable—and his critical writings, which offer a fascinating window onto his artistic theories. Through these
enchanting works, readers will encounter Yeats as the mystical, lovelorn bard and Irish nationalist popular during his
own lifetime.

transformed, misplaced and ultimately restored.

Meet two of Victorian London's greatest geniuses... Ada Lovelace, daughter of Lord Byron: mathematician, gambler,
and proto-programmer, whose writings contained the first ever appearance of general computing theory, a
hundred years before an actual computer was built. And Charles Babbage, eccentric inventor of the Difference
Engine, an enormous clockwork calculating machine that would have been the first computer, if he had ever
finished it.
But what if things had been different? The Thrilling Adventures of Lovelace and Babbage presents a delightful
alternate reality in which Lovelace and Babbage do build the Difference Engine and use it to create runaway
economic models, battle the scourge of spelling errors, explore the wider realms of mathematics and, of course,
fight crime - for the sake of both London and science.
Extremely funny and utterly unusual, The Thrilling Adventures of Lovelace and Babbage comes complete with
historical curiosities, extensive footnotes and never-before-seen diagrams of Babbage's mechanical, steampowered computer. And ray guns.

The story of Australia, told from the woolsheds.
'For much of its history Australia has been described as riding on the sheep's back . . . but if the country rode on
anyone's back, it was on the aching, creaking, flexing spines of Australian shearers.'
Armed with their blades, a sense of adventure and a relentless work ethic, shearers have been a fundamental part
of Australia's outback for centuries.
From legendary figures such as blade shearing record-holder Jack Howe and fearless union man cum poet Julian
Stuart, to today's young guns having to adapt to a rapidly changing industry, these rugged, resilient and proud
characters have influenced the social landscape and folklore of the country. Shearers contributed to the formation
of both the Labor and National parties, while Australia's national song, 'Waltzing Matilda', was written on a
Queensland sheep station.
Expert outback chronicler Evan McHugh – author of bestselling titles such as The Drovers and Outback Heroes –
presents the definitive history of these men, bringing to life the toil, tumult and toughness of the shearing life, and
the effect it has had on Australia's national character.

Maps have long exerted a special fascination on viewers—both as beautiful works of art and as practical tools to
navigate the world. But to those who collect them, the map trade can be a cutthroat business, inhabited by quirky
and sometimes disreputable characters in search of a finite number of extremely rare objects.
Once considered a respectable antiquarian map dealer, E. Forbes Smiley spent years doubling as a map thief —until
he was finally arrested slipping maps out of books in the Yale University library. The Map Thief delves into the
untold history of this fascinating high-stakes criminal and the inside story of the industry that consumed him.
Acclaimed reporter Michael Blanding has interviewed all the key players in this stranger-than-fiction story, and
shares the fascinating histories of maps that charted the New World, and how they went from being practical
instruments to quirky heirlooms to highly coveted objects. Though pieces of the map theft story have been written
before, Blanding is the first reporter to explore the story in full—and had the rare privilege of having access to
Smiley himself after he'd gone silent in the wake of his crimes. Moreover, although Smiley swears he has admitted
to all of the maps he stole, libraries claim he stole hundreds more—and offer intriguing clues to prove it. Now,
through a series of exclusive interviews with Smiley and other key individuals, Blanding teases out an astonishing
tale of destruction and redemption.
The Map Thief interweaves Smiley's escapades with the stories of the explorers and mapmakers he knew better
than anyone. Tracking a series of thefts as brazen as the art heists in Provenance and a subculture as obsessive as
the oenophiles in The Billionaire's Vinegar, Blanding has pieced together an unforgettable story of high-stakes
crime.

From Cosa Nostra to Bunga Bunga . . .
People the world over are appalled and fascinated in equal measure by the stratospheric political career of the
tycoon and three-time Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi.
In Being Berlusconi, Michael Day examines the life and crimes of the shameless media mogul. He tells the story of a
bright and ambitious man from a lower-middle-class family who shook off his humble origins and rose to become
rich and powerful beyond most people's dreams, a multi-billionaire whose Mediaset company remains one of
Europe's largest television and cinema conglomerates. Along the way, amid the election victories and business
triumphs, he became bogged down by his hubris, egotism and sexual obsessions – and his flagrant disregard for the
law.
With the 78-year-old's legal woes ongoing, Being Berlusconi: The Rise and Fall from Cosa Nostra to Bunga Bunga is
well-timed to mark the final chapters of a notorious – and astonishing – life and career.How and why did Italy and
Italians put up with him for so long?

In the bestselling tradition of Monuments Men and The Hare with Amber Eyes comes the passionate account of a man
reclaiming his family art collection, stolen by the Nazis in World War II.
Simon Goodman's grandparents came from German-Jewish banking dynasties and died in concentration camps.
Originally he knew little about them — his father never spoke of their history or heritage. But when Goodman
received his late father's old papers, a remarkable story began to emerge. From a Bohemian hamlet, the Gutmanns
had risen to become one of Germany's most powerful banking families. They had also built a magnificent art
collection. When Hitler took power in January 1933, the Gutmanns became prime targets, and eventually
everything they had worked to build was taken from them: their art, their wealth, their standing, and their lives.
While their son secretly worked to find and recover their prized possessions, their grandson, Simon Goodman, was
living in London without any knowledge of his father's pursuit. Once Goodman learned about his family's stolen
legacy, he began to track the art across two continents, learning that much of the collection had gone to top Nazis,
including Hitler; other works had been smuggled through Switzerland, and some were now in famous museums.
The first of the Goodman family paintings found was by Edgar Degas, in the collection of a Chicago billionaire. The
ensuing legal case became the first of its kind in the US. Since then, the Goodman family has uncovered not only
hundreds of lost pieces, but also an invaluable sense of their ancestry.

A dramatic family account and incredible detective story, not only of a seventyyear hunt for family treasure, but also a story of redemption and reclamation.


This book will appeal to readers interested in WWII, art, art history, the effects
of WWII on Jewish families, and the discovery of one's identity in history.
Will appeal to readers of The Hare with Amber Eyes and The Monument's Men.

The roar of frenzied spectators inside the Coliseum during a battle between gladiators. A crowd of onlookers
gathered around a slave driver. The wondrous plenty of banquets where flamingos are roasted whole and wine
flows like rivers. The silence of the baths and the boisterous taverns . . .
Many books have dealt with the history of ancient Rome, but none has been able to bring its readers so near to
daily life in the Imperial capital. This extraordinary voyage of exploration, guided by Alberto Angela with the charm
of a born story- teller, lasts twenty- four hours, beginning at dawn on an ordinary day in the year 115 A.D., with
Imperial Rome at the height of its power. The reader wakes in a rich patrician home and discovers frescoes, opulent
furnishings and richly appointed boudoirs. Strolling though the splendors of the Roman Forum, one overhears both
erudite opinions from learned orators and local ribaldry floating out from the public latrines. One meets the intense
gazes of Roman matriarchs strolling the streets, looks on as a banquet is prepared, and is afforded a peek into the
sexual habits and fetishes of Roman patricians and plebs.
For all those who have ever dreamed of traveling back in time, Alberto Angela's narrative style will come as a
welcome change to dry historical tomes. Rich in atmosphere and historical information, A Day in the Life of Ancient
Rome is a voyage into a world both distant to us in time and surprisingly near in its habits, mores, and passions.

Boston, Bridgetown, Dublin, Cape Town, Calcutta, Hong Kong, Bombay, Melbourne, New Delhi, and twentiethcentury Liverpool: since the end days of Empire, Britain's colonial past has been the subject of passionate debate.
Tristram Hunt goes beyond the familiar arguments about Empire being good or bad and adopts a new approach,
describing the processes of exchange and adaptation that moulded the colonial experience and that, in their turn,
transformed the culture, economy and identity of the British Isles.
'Ingenious and timely, a lively and cliché-busting survey of imperial history.' Maya Jasanoff, Guardian
'It captures a vast, sprawling enterprise so very well. This work, like the empire it describes, is something unique.'

Power is the only measure of a politician that matters. How they win power. How they wield power. How they lose
power.
Catch and Kill is an inside account of the beguiling and nomadic nature of the unholy trinity of politics – the winning,
the wielding, the losing. Taking us into the inner sanctum of state and national politics, Joel Deane investigates how
four friends – Steve Bracks, John Brumby, John Thwaites and Rob Hulls – beat the factions, won office in Victoria,
achieved progressive reforms, then tried to hijack Canberra. 'We were,' Bracks says, 'a government that could catch
and kill its own.'
Drawing on dozens of interviews with key figures, Deane provides a candid insight into the triumphs and failures of
the Bracks–Brumby government, as well as those of its federal and state counterparts. He also shines a light on the
personalities behind these decisions – their ambitions, their passions and their disappointments.
A gripping work of narrative non-fiction, Catch and Kill delivers a slice of political gothic, venturing inside the heart
of the contemporary Labor Party in search of the nature of power.
'Joel Dean writes about politics in the way it should be practised: with a cool head, a warm heart and a sense of
humour.' George Megalogenis

Carton Qty: 1
From a bold new feminist voice, a book that will change the way you think about your sex life.
Fifty years after the sexual revolution, we are told that we live in a time of unprecedented sexual freedom; that, if
anything, we are too free now. But beneath the veneer of glossy hedonism, millennial journalist Rachel Hills argues
that we are controlled by a new brand of sexual convention: one which influences all of us – woman or man,
straight or gay, liberal or conservative. At the root of this silent code lies the Sex Myth – the defining significance we
invest in sexuality that once meant we were dirty if we did have sex, and now means we are defective if we don't do
it enough.
Equal parts social commentary, pop culture, and powerful personal anecdotes from people across the Englishspeaking world, The Sex Myth exposes the invisible norms and unspoken assumptions that shape the way we think
about sex today.
'In a book that is both assured and reassuring, Hills reminds us that there are as many sexualities as there are
people, and that most of us find sex fun, intimate, communicative, and pleasurable. Which means – big exhale –
we're probably doing it right.' Michael Kimmel, author of Guyland

'It is somewhere close to midnight on the clock when the men who fought the Second World War will still be with us.
I have met just a few of them, sometimes goading them to reveal their experiences, at other times being simply a
conduit to the river of their memories, sensing, on occasion, a kind of urgency to get it out there, just so these
adventures and tragedies not be lost to future enquiring minds.'
Michael Veitch has always been a keen historian and aeroplane fanatic. From a young age he was obsessed with
airforce pilots and their machines. And with his gift for chat, he has once again captured the memories of these
brave, lucky men who survived the unsurvivable.
The risks of not returning from flying missions in WWII were extremely high so the stories are uniquely heroic,
almost unbelievable. But these were ordinary men in extraordinary situations and, in this third collection from
Michael Veitch, they record their stories for future generations.

For the empires of Germany and Austria-Hungary the Great War - which had begun with such high hopes for a fast,
dramatic outcome - rapidly degenerated as invasions of both France and Serbia ended in catastrophe. For four
years the fighting now turned into a siege on a quite monstrous scale. Europe became the focus of fighting of a kind
previously unimagined. Despite local successes - and an apparent triumph in Russia - Germany and Austria-Hungary
were never able to break out of the the Allies' ring of steel.
Alexander Watson's compelling history of the Great War shows all the major events of the war from the perspective
of Berlin and Vienna - and tells how the genuine mass enthusiasm that flooded both these empires in 1914 turned
into a devastating and nation-altering mood of disillusionment.

In this era of email intercepts and drone strikes, many believe that the spy is dead. What use are double agents and
dead letter boxes compared to the all-seeing digital eye?They couldn't be more wrong. The spying game is
changing, but the need for walking, talking sources who gather secret information has never been more acute. And
they are still out there.
In this searing modern history of espionage, Stephen Grey takes us from the CIA's Cold War legends, to the agents
who betrayed the IRA, through to the spooks inside Al-Qaeda and ISIS. Techniques and technologies have evolved,
but the old motivations for betrayal - patriotism, greed, revenge, compromise - endure.
This is a revealing story of how spycraft and the 'human factor' survive, against the odds.

morning from hell. Flying directly into the Japanese ambush at Pearl Harbor, they lost a third of their squadron and
witnessed the heart of America's Navy broken and smoldering on the oil-slicked waters below.
The next six months, from Pearl Harbor to the Battle of Midway—a dark time during which the Japanese scored
victory after victory—this small band of aviators saw almost constant deployment, intense carrier combat, and
fearsome casualties. Many were killed by enemy Zero fighters, antiaircraft fire, or deadly crash landings in the
Pacific, while others were captured and spent years in POW camps. Yet the Enterprise's Dauntless crews would be
the first to strike an offensive blow against Japanese installations in the Marshall Islands, would be the first to sink a
Japanese warship, and would shepherd the Doolittle Raiders' bombing of Tokyo.
Not until Midway, though, would Dauntless crews get the chance to settle the score…and change the course of
World War II.
Drawing on dozens of new interviews and oral histories, author Stephen L. Moore brings to life inspiring stories of
individual sacrifice and bravery—and the sweeping saga of one of America's greatest triumphs.

Filled with brazen wake-up calls ('You are not a special snowflake'), frank observations ('Failure is your invention'),
and behind-the-scenes stories from Nasty Gal's meteoric rise, #GIRLBOSS is more than just Amoruso's story, it is a
book for anyone seeking a unique path to success - even when that path is winding as all hell and lined with
naysayers.
The Glitter Plan: How We Started Juicy Couture for $200 and Turned It into a Global

Carton Qty: 1
While working together at a Los Angeles boutique, Pamela Skaist-Levy and Gela Nash-Taylor became fast and
furious friends over the impossibility of finding the perfect T-shirt. Following their vision of comfortable, fitted Tshirts, they set up shop in Gela's one-bedroom Hollywood apartment with $200 and one rule: Whatever they did,
they both had to be obsessed by it. The best friends' project became Juicy Couture. Pam and Gela eventually sold
their company to Liz Claiborne for $50 million, but not before they created a whole new genre of casual clothing
that came to define California cool.
Pamela and Gela built an empire from the ground up, using themselves as models to build their patterns and
placing their merchandise by storming into stores and handing out samples. They balanced careful growth with
innovative tactics—sending Madonna a tracksuit with her nickname, Madge, embroidered on it—and created a
unique, bold, and unconventional business plan that was all their own: the Glitter Plan.
Now, Pam and Gela reveal the secrets of Juicy's success: how they learned to find and stick with the right colleagues
and trust their instincts when it became time to move on to their next project. They also share their missteps and
hilarious lessons learned—like the time robbers stole one thousand pairs of maternity shortalls, which the partners
took as the first sign to get out of the maternity clothing business.
Told in the bright, cheery voice that defines Juicy style even today, The Glitter Plan shows readers how to transform
passion and ideas into business success. Aspiring designers, Juicy fans, and business readers of all stripes will be
enthralled by the story of spirit and savvy behind Pam and Gela's multimillion-dollar fashion empire.

Down, down . . .
In hardware, petrol, general merchandise and liquor, and above all in groceries, Coles and Woolworths jointly rule
Australia's retail landscape. On average, every man, woman and child in this country spends $100 a week across
their many outlets.
What does such dominance mean for suppliers? And is it good for consumers?
In Supermarket Monsters, journalist and author Malcolm Knox shines a light on Australia's twin mega-retailers,
exploring how they have built and exploited their market power. Knox reveals the unavoidable and often
intimidating tactics both companies use to get their way. In return for cheap milk and bread, he argues, we as
consumers are risking much more: quality, diversity and community.

Whether we need to make better financial choices, find the love of our life, or transform our career, crowdsourcing
is the key to making quicker, wiser, more objective decisions. But few of us even come close to tapping the full
potential of our online personal networks. Lior Zoref offers proven guidelines for applying what he calls 'mind
sharing' in new ways. For instance, he shows how a mother's Facebook update saved the life of a four-year-old boy,
and how a manager used LinkedIn to create a year's worth of market research in less than a day. Zoref's clients are
using his techniques to innovate and problem-solve in record time. Now he reveals how crowdsourcing has the
ability to supercharge our thinking and upgrade every aspect of our lives.

In traditional companies, managers make decisions, and workers execute the plan. But Holacracy is a revolutionary
and tried-and-tested new system which turns everyone into a leader. The organisation looks like a nest of circles,
not a pyramid—but it's not anarchy. It's finally clear who should make each decision—the person on the frontline
has that authority—and the organisation succeeds by adapting swiftly to pursue its purpose.
In Holacracy, creator Brian Robertson explains how to adopt this system across your organisation—and what you
can do just within your department or for yourself—and how to overcome any obstacles along the way.

Carton Qty: 1
While economists often turn to measures like GDP or per-capita income, César Hidalgo turns to information theory
to explain the success or failure of a country's economic performance. Through a radical rethinking of what the
economy is, Hidalgo shows that natural constraints in our ability to accumulate knowledge, knowhow and
information explain the evolution of social and economic complexity.
This is a rare tour de force, linking economics, sociology, physics, biology and information theory, to explain the
evolution of social and economic systems as a consequence of the physical embodiment of information in a world
where knowledge is quite literally power.

What do fact-checkers, anesthesiologists, U.N. interpreters, and structural engineers have in common? For most of
us, the better we perform the more attention we receive. Yet for many 'Invisibles'-skilled professionals whose role is
critical to whatever enterprise they're a part of-it's the opposite: the better they do their jobs the more they
disappear. In fact, often it's only when something goes wrong that they are noticed at all. Millions of Invisibles are
hidden in every industry. And despite our culture's increasing celebration of fame in our era of superstar CEOs and
assorted varieties of 'genius,' they're fine with remaining anonymous. David Zweig interviews top experts in unusual
fields to reveal the quiet workers behind public successes. Combining in-depth profiles with insights from
psychology, sociology, and business, Zweig uncovers how these hidden professionals reap deep fulfillment by
relishing the challenges their work presents.

When most of us think of the drama of global finance, we think of stocks and bonds. But commodities? Crude oil
and wheat? What could be more boring?
That's exactly what the elite commodity traders want us to think. They don't seek the spotlight. But although they

In this riveting book, CNBC reporter Kate Kelly takes us within their inner circle. Following a trail from New York to

A conductor in front of his orchestra is an iconic symbol of leadership. But what does a maestro actually do to
ensure cooperation, harmony and a flawless performance?
The key is to embrace ignorance.
For twenty years, orchestra conductor Itay Talgam has drawn on his experience on the podium to teach nonmusicians the art of leading like a conductor - from CEOs to entrepreneurs, politicians to schoolteachers. In The
Ignorant Maestro, he brings that art to leaders everywhere.
Turning to six of the most iconic conductors as examples, from the dictatorial Muti to Bernstein, the master of
dialogue, Talgam's anecdotes and insights will change the way you think about listening, humility and the path to
unpredictable brilliance. They will equip you for exceptional leadership. And they will empower you to lead your
team to greater harmony.
Reveals the counterintuitive lessons that business leaders can learn from world-famous conductors about
empowering organizations and audiences.' Ryan Holiday, author of The Obstacle Is the Way
'No musical experience needed - Itay Talgam brings the baton-wielding personalities to life, and the lessons ring

What do we think of when we think about Eastern Europe? Stalinism and the Stasi, maybe, or the grey and chilling
landscape of cold-war espionage. Contemporary accounts focus on the sex industry, stag parties, and immigration.
Our views of its architecture and cities can be similarly unflattering: 'Soviet' and 'Eastern Bloc' are commonly used
as pejoratives for anything large and made of concrete.
Yet, as acclaimed cultural commentator Owen Hatherley shows, the region's architecture tells the story of two of
the 20th century's most wide-ranging political experiments: full-scale socialism post-1945 and, after 1989, neoliberal capitalism. Hatherley travels through the region's immense boulevards, monumental, windswept squares
and crumbling apartment blocks, exploring the original ideals behind their creation and asking what we can learn
from them today.
From Warsaw to Berlin, Kiev to Moscow, this is a passionate journey in search of the true meaning of cities and the
ways in which they reflect our values and shape our lives.

Acclaimed as 'a visual and intellectual delight' (Time Out), Grayson Perry's Playing to the Gallery allows us to truly
appreciate art as he answers the questions that might occur to us in a gallery but seem too embarrassing to ask. In
Grayson's words, 'It's easy to feel insecure around art and its appreciation, as though we cannot enjoy certain
artworks if we don't have a lot of academic and historical knowledge. But if there's one message that I want you to
take away it's that anybody can enjoy art and anybody can have a life in the arts - even me! For even I, an Essex
transvestite potter, have been let in by the artworld mafia.' This set of 36 postcards, each featuring an original
artwork from the book, embodies all the talent, humour, intelligence and relevance of Grayson Perry.

Michelangelo's Creation of Adam, Zarathustra single-handedly rewrites art history in the way that only an adorable

'Everyone treated him like a god, but he just wanted to be treated like a normal bloke.'—Tommy Peterson
Australian surfing's cult hero lived two lives.
In the 1970s 'MP' became the best surfer in the world, an electric lash of rockstar looks and rockstar habits, but with
a pathological aversion to rockstar fame. But MP died on the night of 10 August 1983, when his schizophrenia
caught up with him and his years of institutionalisation began. Emerging from the other side was Michael Peterson,
a quiet, complex soul who lived with his mother and sat under a mango tree every morning, communing with the
voices in his head.
In 2004 Sean Doherty wrote a bestselling biography of Michael Peterson that laid his incredible story bare. Over the
years that followed, and especially after Michael's death in 2012, hundreds of people – family, friends, surf stars
and complete strangers – contacted Doherty with stories never before shared. Stories that spoke of the man, not
the legend. Stories of Michael, not MP.
Now Doherty has compiled these stories, anecdotes and tributes, completing the picture of one of surfing's most
talented but tragic figures. Also featuring classic and unseen images of Peterson, along with photographs and letters
from his family's private collection, MP Untold presents Australian surfing's most fascinating champion in the words
of those who knew him best.

BRAND NEW TITLE AND TOPIC IN FULL COLOUR
HIIT, or High-Intensity Interval Training, is a new workout trend that involves short, intense bursts of exercise
following by periods of lower-intensity exercise or rest. The science behind HIIT is that through these intense bursts
of activity, the body burns more calories in a shorter period of time than traditional exercise routines that take
longer and provide less fat-burning benefits. Although HIIT may just sound like another trend, there's considerable
science that says the benefits are real and it's considered to be one of the most efficient and effective ways to get in
top physical condition and burn more fat in less time. Idiot's Guides: High Intensity Interval Training is a full colour,
visual guide that is packed with over 80 exercises, structured routines, and fun yet intense programs that can be
done anywhere and at any time. Step-by-step, readers will learn how to do exercises the right way and reach a new
level of fitness and reap fitness benefits that other, more traditional workouts can't offer.

The past century has witnessed a revolution.
Less than a hundred years ago, the average Western life expectancy was 40; now it is 80. And there is no end in
sight: the first person who will reach 135 has already been born.
It's the most radical change in our society since industrialisation, and natural it raises many questions.
What do longer life spans mean for the way we organize our societies? How can people best prepare themselves for
living considerably longer? Does it help to eat less, or to take hormones, vitamins, or minerals? And what can we
learn from old people who remain full of vitality, despite illness and infirmity?
Growing Older without Feeling Old is the definitive book on a key issue for the 21st century, written by one of the
world's leading experts in geriatric medicine. Combining medical, biological, economic, and sociological insights,
Rudi Westendorp explores the causes of the ageing revolution and explains how we can greet it with confidence
and enjoy leading longer, healthier, and more productive lives than ever before.

If every therapist and psychotherapist on the planet could repeat this to their clients, like a mantra, again and again,
there would be fewer therapists and psychotherapists. Because it works. Very quickly. Realising that what you're
worrying about and stressing over doesn't really matter so much in the grand scheme of things is the door to
freedom and healing. And the little profanity, 'F**k It', is the key to that door. Ask anyone who's come close to
death, or lost someone close to them, or discovered they have a serious disease and they'll say the same thing: that
the little things don't matter, F**k It... enjoy life in every moment for what it is, not what you want it to be... worry
less, live more... remember what's important and forget the rest.
John and Gaia have taught F**k It Retreats in Italy and around the world since 2005. They have taught thousands of
people how to say F**k It: how to ease up, let go, and feel the natural flow in their lives. F**k It Therapy makes
available for the first time the process they teach during their week-long retreats. With their six-part process, you
are guided through how to deeply relax and let go, then how to carry this out into your life. You find out about the
F**k It State and how to access it, you learn the principles of F**k It Training and then discover what F**k It Living
really is, and how you can live every moment in a free, relaxed and F**k It way.

This landmark volume collects all six of Thomas Troward's books on the creative powers of the mind – and, as a
special bonus, includes 'Troward's Teachings in Condensed Form' by Harry Gaze, which digests the visionary's ideas
into 58 aphorisms.
Troward's ideas about the power of directed thought prefigured some of today's key advances in neuroplasticity,
placebo studies, and cognitive psychology. His writings were a major influence on figures ranging from Ernest
Holmes to early members of Alcoholics Anonymous to makers of The Secret.
The works of Thomas Troward have been previously been dispersed among piecemeal volumes – The Power in You
is the first authoritative anthology of his writings. This volume includes:
The Edinburgh Lectures on Mental Science (1904, revised 1909)
The Doré Lectures on Mental Science (1909)
The Creative Process in the Individual (1910, expanded 1915)
Bible Mystery and Bible Meaning (1913)
The Law and the Word (1917)
The Hidden Power (1921)

Carton Qty: 1
In 2006 Jamie Tworkowski wrote a story called 'To Write Love on Her Arms' about helping a friend through her
struggle with drug addiction, depression, and self-injury. The piece was so hauntingly beautiful that it quickly went
viral, giving birth to a non-profit organization of the same name. Nine years later, To Write Love on Her Arms
(TWLOHA) is an internationally-recognized leader in suicide prevention and a source of hope, encouragement, and
resources for people worldwide.
Jamie's words have been shared hundreds of thousands of times online. They've shown up on T-shirts and posters
and even tattoos. Now, for the first time, Jamie's writing is available in the form of a book. If You Feel Too Much is a
celebration of hope, wonder, and what it means to be human. From personal stories of struggling on days most
people celebrate to offering words of strength and encouragement in moments of loss, the essays in this book
invite readers to believe that it's okay to admit to pain and it's okay to ask for help. If You Feel Too Much is an
important book from one of this generation's most important voices.
'Since meeting Jamie, I've heard countless stories from people who were hurting, lonely, confused, and even
suicidal who were able to find a toehold in his words. They love him because he accepted them as they were, told
them they didn't have to act, and let them know their story contributed to the beauty.' from the foreword by Donald
Miller, New York Times bestselling author of Blue Like Jazz

The Biology of Desire: why addiction is not a disease
Lewis Marc

Carton Qty: 1
The psychiatric establishment in the Western world has unanimously branded addiction a brain disease. And the
idea that an addict has an incurable illness, as opposed to a contemptible moral weakness, has served an historically
important role in changing how addiction is understood, researched, and treated throughout the world.
But as renowned developmental neuroscientist and recovered addict Marc Lewis argues in this illuminating,
compelling, likely controversial book, addiction is not in fact a disease. Addiction, whether to drugs, alcohol,
gambling, food, sex, or cigarettes, is rather a developmental learning process resulting from the normal functioning
of the human brain.
Through vividly rendered, compassionate stories of five addicts, interpreted in the light of state-of-the-art
neuroscientific knowledge, Lewis shows how the compulsion to use arises in a brain that is highly efficient in
pursuing singular goals. He reveals addiction as an unfortunate twist of fate for a brain doing what it's designed to
do—seek pleasure and relief—in a world that's not cooperating. He shows that recovery from addiction is indeed
possible,and that it is nothing like remission from a disease, because brain physiology doesn't need to change for
addicts to get better.
The Biology of Desire is vital and enlightening reading for anyone who has wrestled with addiction themselves, in
their families, or as a medical or treatment professional. It illuminates a path to more effective treatment for
addicts, and limns the essential requirements for individual recovery. Combining clearly rendered scientific
explanation with insight, compassion, and even humor, Lewis boldly challenges us all to re-examine our approach to
addiction, and whether the metaphors we've used to explain it have now become obstacles to healing.
The Naked Surgeon: how the new science of transparency is revolutionising medicine
Nashef Samer
$37.00 (Royal P/B 234x147/153mm) Scribe Publications 256pp
29 July 2015 9781925106664
Carton Qty: 1
We are not meant to touch hearts. We all have one, but most of us will never see one. The heart surgeon now has
that privilege but, for centuries, the heart was out of reach even for surgeons. So when a surgeon nowadays opens
up a ribcage and mends a heart, it remains something of a miracle, even if, to some, it is merely plumbing.
As with plumbers, the quality of surgeons' work varies. As with plumbers, surgeons' opinion of their own prowess
and their own attitude to risk are not always reliable. Measurement is key. We've had a century of effective
evidence-based medicine. We've had barely a decade of thorough monitoring of clinical outcomes. Thanks to the
ground-breaking risk modelling of pioneering surgeons like Samer Nashef, we at last know how to judge whether an
operation is in a patient's best interest, which hospital and surgeon would be best for that operation, when it might
best be performed and what the exact level of risk is. We have at last made what is important in surgery
measurable. But how should surgeons, and their patients, use these newfound insights?
Ever since his days as a medical student, Samer Nashef has challenged the medical profession to be more open and
more accurate about the success of surgical procedures, for the sake of the patients. In The Naked Surgeon, he
unclothes his own profession to demonstrate to his reader (and prospective patient) many revelations, such as the
paradox at the heart of the cardiac surgeon's craft: the more an operation is likely to kill you, the better it is for you.
And he does so with absolute clarity, fluency and not a little wit.
The Worm at the Core: On the Role of Death in Life
Solomon, Sheldon; Greenberg, Jeff

Carton Qty: 1
It guides our thoughts and actions, from the great art we create to the devastating wars we wage. It's the real
reason why we buy expensive cars and crave fame. It drives us to put our health at risk and to disguise our animal
nature. Think you're not constantly thinking about death? This book shows it's at the heart of life.
Psychologists Sheldon Solomon, Jeff Greenberg, and Tom Pyszczynski have spent twenty-five years researching the
many ways that fear of death - and our desire to transcend it - guides our behaviour. This book is the culmination of
their ground-breaking work which proves that fear of death is the hidden motive behind almost everything we
do. It shows how human culture keeps our fear of death at bay by infusing our lives with order, stability,
significance and purpose, allowing us to function moment to moment without becoming overwhelmed by the
knowledge of our ultimate fate. It provides surprising evidence of what happens when that fear breaks through:
when reminded of their own death, judges dole out harsher punishments, people become more intolerant towards
those different from themselves and more in favour of violence.
But the fear needn't consume us: this book reveals how we can better come to terms with death and learn to lead
lives of courage, creativity, and compassion. It offers a compelling new paradigm for understanding the choices we
make in life and immerses us in a new way of understanding human evolution, child development, history, religion,
art, science, mental health, war, and politics in the twenty-first century.

ASMR stands for Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response, and it's a relaxed, tingling feeling that many people
report having as a response to particular stimuli, such as close personal attention, tapping or whispering. Although
its experiencers say they have been aware of the sensation all their lives, it has only recently come together as a
public phenomenon thanks to YouTube, where ASMRtists now post thousands of videos that simulate the ASMR
experience and help viewers fall asleep when no other remedies work. The ASMR community is generous and
connected, and often viewers will become content producers themselves in an effort to give back to those who
have helped them.
In this book readers get:
-- A clear explanation of what ASMR is, its benefits, and how to experience it.
-- The most recent theories and evidence as to why and how ASMR works, and how it's connected to other
established methods of relaxation.
-- Extensive exploration of the various ASMR trigger types.
-- Tips for discovering the triggers that work for each individual and ways of finding and adapting to new ones.
-- What to do when one becomes desensitised to their favourite artist or trigger type.
-- Exclusive interviews with the top ASMR artists from all over the world, discussing their strange celebrity and their
own ASMR experiences.

It happens when you're the son of Poseidon, God of the Sea. According to an ancient prophecy, I turn sixteen and
the fate of the entire world is on me. But no pressure.
Now Kronos, Lord of the Titans, is beginning his attack on New York City. And the dreaded monster Typhon is also
heading our way. So it's me and forty of my demigod friends versus untold evil . . .

Look, I didn't want to be a half-blood. I never asked to be the son of a Greek God.
I was just a normal kid, going to school, playing basketball, skateboarding. The usual. Until I accidentally vaporized
my maths teacher. Now I spend my time battling monsters and generally trying to stay alive.
This is the one where Zeus, God of the Sky, thinks I've stolen his lightning bolt - and making Zeus angry is a very bad
idea.

You can't tell by looking at me that my dad is Poseidon, God of the Sea.
It's not easy being a half-blood these days. Even a simple game of dodgeball becomes a death match against an ugly
gang of cannibal giants - and that was only the beginning.
Now Camp Half-Blood is under attack, and unless I can get my hands on the Golden Fleece, the whole camp will be
invaded by monsters. Big ones . . .

For years the Garde have fought the Mogadorians in secret, but now the invasion has begun. If the Garde can't find
a way to stop the Mogs, humanity will suffer the same fate as the Lorien: annihilation.
When the Elders sent the Garde to Earth, they had a plan-one which the Garde are finally starting to understand. A
group of the Garde travelled to an ancient pyramid in Mexico where they awoke a power that had been hidden for
generations. Now this power can save the world or destroy it. It will all depend on who wields it.

I thought things would change when I found the others. We would stop running. We would fight the Mogadorians.
And we would win.
But I was wrong. Though we came together, we barely escaped with our lives. And now we hide. The six of us are
powerful - but not strong enough to take on an army. We haven't discovered our full Legacies. We haven't learned
to work together.
And time is running out, because we need to find Number Five before they do.
This battle is far from over . . .

Until I met John Smith, Number Four, I'd been on the run alone, hiding and fighting to stay alive. Together we are
much more powerful. But it could only last so long before we had to separate to find the others . . .
I went to Spain to find Seven, and I found even more, including a tenth member of the Garde who escaped from
Lorien alive. Ella is younger than the rest of us, but just as brave. Now we're looking for the others - including John.
But so are they.
I am Number Six.
To finish what they started, they'll have to fight us first.

Number ONE was killed in Malaysia
Number TWO was murdered in England.
Number THREE was hunted down in Kenya.
Before they come for the others, they'll come for me . . .
I AM NUMBER FOUR.
John Smith is not your average teenager.
He regularly moves from small town to small town. He changes his name and identity. He does not put down
roots. He cannot tell anyone who or what he really is. If he stops moving those who hunt him will find and kill him.
But you can't run for ever.
So when he stops in Paradise, Ohio, John decides to try and settle down. To fit in. And for the first time he makes
some real friends. People he cares about - and who care about him. Never in John's short life has there been space
for friendship, or even love.
But it's just a matter of time before John's secret is revealed.
He was once one of nine. Three of them have been killed.
John is Number Four. He knows that he is next . . .

From Frank Woodley, much-loved comedian, storyteller and talented artist, comes a hilarious series about an
inquisitive young girl, a cheeky currawong bird and a bumbling detective.
Unfortunately, when you're the personal assistant to Kizmet Papanicillo 'rest' is a word you only hear in sentences
like 'You get the littlest burglar, I'll take care of the rest'.
Kizmet, Gretchen and Detective Spencer are in Hugelstein to protect the priceless Stradivarius violins, but during a
performance one of the instruments is mysteriusly destroyed. As Kizmet and the gang folllow the trail of evidence in
this case, they find themselves in more danger than ever before!
The first of four books - two titles released in August 2015 - in an engaging and action-packed detective series for
junior readers (6-8 years old). Each book is approx. 9000 words with illustrations throughout. The series is written
and illustrated by comedian Frank Woodley.
The strength of these stories is the humour: one-liners, interesting characters and slapstick-style physical comedy
throughout. The illustrations add to the accessibly nature of these adventures.
Kizmet (young girl) and her sidekick Gretchen (a currawong bird) help Kizmet's father (Detective Spencer) to solve
crimes and mysteries. Similar to an Inspector Gadget style set-up, Spencer is quite hopeless at his job, so it is Kizmet
and Gretchen who do most of the work! Stories are told from Gretchen's POV, adding a different dynamic to these
investigations.
In this book the trio is in Hugelstein where they have been hired by Lord Jorgen to protect the priceless Stradivarius
violins. But during a performance by famed musician Yuri Schlepski, one of the violins is destroyed when a strange
criminal wearing a balaclava storms on stage. Kizmet, Detective Specer and Gretchen give chase but the criminal
escapes.
Kizmet is on the case quickly as the answers the police have for this crime don't quite add up. As the gang follow the
trail of evidence they delve deeper into danger before Kizmet discovers that Yuri Schlepski had planted a fake violin
to be detroyed in front of the audience to prove that he is the real genius, not the violin, while also selling the real
violin for millions of dollars.

Stuff Happens. Real-life stories for boys. Suitable for beginner and newly confident readers.
Stuff happens sometimes. Everyday stuff. At school, at home, with sport, with mates.
For Harry it happened in art class.
All Harry wants is to fly through Monvale Primary under the radar. He doesn't want to be like Jack. Playing football
on the oval only leads to cheering crowds. He doesn't want to be like Ethan, because after that advertisement he
showed at assembly he's got more friends now than he ever did. He especially doesn't want to be like Fadi, who
decided to dance in the quiet time quad one day and now has an entire school of adoring fans. Harry's done the
math and come to a conclusion: to be good at something means attention – and in Harry's case, that attention is
more than unwanted.
During an excursion to an art gallery, Harry and his friend Cooper are amongst the many students in Mr. Slater's art
class that are unenthusiastic about the excursion. If nobody else cares about it, Harry doesn't see a reason to either.
That is, until he sees a certain painting. Amongst the splotches of colourful paint, Harry imagines Cosmic Samurai,
an awesome made-up space ranger who blasts away evil green aliens with a sweet laser gun.
Harry is inspired to paint him. Will he listen to Mr Slater and display his art for all to see? Standing out from the
crowd isn't about all the attention that comes with it. It's about enjoying what you do, and being yourself. Can Harry
see that for himself?

Stuff Happens is an important new series for boys aged between 7 and 11 about everyday challenges. Created by

Will Kostakis, Oliver Phommavanh, Scot Gardner, Justin D'Ath and James Roy, each book features a different
character and follows them as they overcome a particular everyday challenge. It explores those everyday struggles
in life that boys can sometimes be reluctant to express: quarrels with mates, a bad day at school, fear of
disappointing mum and dad, rejection and not fitting in.

For Tom it happened during a tennis match.
Tom Connors is a very good tennis player. When it comes to hitting a ball over a net he can do it better than almost
anyone else his age, including the state-ranked Johnny Vargese who trains at the same club as Tom and also goes to
Monvale Primary. Tom's problem is that he struggles to control his nerves in a match, particularly on his serve. His
left arm seems to have a mind of its own and he can't even toss the ball up straight, let alone hit the serve
powerfully into a corner of the box like Johnny can. Tom was fine until 6 months ago when he held match point
against Johnny in the club championship, only to serve a double fault and lose the match. He thinks about this loss
all the time, and ever since his serve and game have got progressively worse. Tom must find a way to overcome
these nerves. Can he find a way?

Noel is supposed to be writing his new very important handbook on Dangerology (Level 2).
That is until the Pet of the Year competition is announced and Docter Noel hatches a plan to impress his neighbor
Gretel. There's only one problem. Serial safety-flouter Max Wurst is the judge. . .

When Rebecca Rivers lands the lead in her school's production of The Crucible, she gets to change roles in real life,
too. She casts off her old reputation, grows close with her four rowdy cast-mates, and kisses the extremely
handsome Charlie Lamb onstage. Even Mr. McFadden, the play's critical director, can find no fault with Rebecca.
Though 'The Essential Five' vow never to date each other, Rebecca can't help her feelings for Charlie, leaving her
both conflicted and lovestruck. But the on and off-stage drama of the cast is eclipsed by a life-altering accusation
that threatens to destroy everything . . . even if some of it is just make believe.

When Theodora Tenpenny spills a bottle of rubbing alcohol on her late grandfather's painting, she discovers what
seems to be an old Renaissance masterpiece underneath. That's great news for Theo, who's struggling to hang onto
her family's two-hundred-year-old townhouse and support her unstable mother on her grandfather's legacy of
$463. There's just one problem: Theo's grandfather was a security guard at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and
she worries the painting may be stolen.
With the help of some unusual new friends, Theo's search for answers takes her all around Manhattan, and
introduces her to a side of the city—and her grandfather—that she never knew. To solve the mystery, she'll have to
abandon her hard-won self-reliance and build a community, one serendipitous friendship at a time.
