David Dyer's astonishing novel The Midnight Watch is based on the true story of the SS
Californian, the ship that saw the Titanic's distress rockets and yet, unfathomably, did
nothing. A psychological thriller.
Sometimes the smallest of human failings can lead to the greatest of disasters
On a wretchedly cold night in the North Atlantic, a steamer stopped in an icefield sees the glow
of another ship on the horizon. Just after midnight the first of eight distress rockets is fired.
Why did the Californian look on while the Titanic sank?
As soon as Boston American reporter John Steadman lays eyes on the man who stood the
midnight watch on the Californian, he knows there's another story lurking behind the official
one. Herbert Stone must have seen something, and yet his ship did nothing while the calamity
took place. Now Stone, under his captain's orders, must carry his secret in silence, while
Steadman is determined to find it out.
So begins a strange dance around the truth by these three men. Haunted by the fifteen hundred
who went to their deaths in those icy waters, and by the loss of his own baby son years earlier,
Steadman must either find redemption in the Titanic's tragedy or lose himself.
Based on true events, The Midnight Watch is at once a heart-stopping mystery and a deeply
knowing novel – about the frailty of men, the strength of women, the capriciousness of fate and
the price of loyalty.

Forensic psychiatrist Natalie King works with victims and perpetrators of violent crime.
Women with a history of abuse, mainly. She rides a Ducati a size too big and wears a tank top a
size too small. Likes men but doesn't want to keep one. And really needs to stay on her
medication.
Now she's being stalked. Anonymous notes, threats, strangers loitering outside her house.
A hostile former patient? Or someone connected with a current case? Georgia Latimer—
charged with killing her three children. Travis Hardy—deadbeat father of another murdered
child, with a second daughter now missing. Maybe the harassment has something to do with
Crown Prosecutor Liam O'Shea—drop-dead sexy, married and trouble in all kinds of ways.
Natalie doesn't know. Question is, will she find out before it's too late?
Anne Buist, herself a leading perinatal psychiatrist, has created an edge-of-the-seat mystery
with a hot new heroine—backed up by a lifetime of experience with troubled minds.

All night Audrey woke again and again, and every so often Nick would be awake, too, and their
bodies would shift into new shapes, and once Nick reached for her as if in a panic, and once
Audrey thumped to the kitchen half-awake and stuck her head under the tap to drink, and once
she turned over to face Nick, who was open-eyed, and they began to kiss in a dream, bodies just
coming to, and she saw the dull shadows from the streetlights pass over his face as he came,
and he covered her body with his and she felt his breath in her hair, and they held each other,
and the whole time they never said a thing.
Audrey, Katy and Adam have been friends since high school—a decade of sneaky cigarettes,
drunken misadventures on Melbourne backstreets, heart-to-hearts, in-jokes.
But now Katy has gone. And without her, Audrey is thrown off balance: everything she thought
she knew, everything she believed was true, is bent out of shape.
Audrey's family—her neurotic mother, her wayward teenage brother, her uptight suburban
sister—are likely to fall apart. Her boyfriend, Nick, tries to hold their relationship together. And
Audrey, caught in the middle, needs to find a reason to keep going when everything around her
suddenly seems wrong.
Evocative and exquisitely written, Our Magic Hour is a story of love, loss and discovery.
Jennifer Down's remarkable debut novel captures that moment when being young and
invincible gives way to being open and vulnerable, when one terrible act changes a life forever.

'I woke with a gasp. And lay in the dark, open-mouthed, holding my breath. That feeling . . .
that feeling was indescribable. For a moment I had felt as if I were falling . . . falling into bliss.'
All his life, Richard Kline has been haunted by a sense that something is lacking. He envies the
ease with which others slip into contented suburban life or the pursuit of wealth. As he moves
into middle age, Richard grows angry, cynical, depressed.
But then a strange event, a profound epiphany, awakens him to a different way of life. He finds
himself on a quest, almost against his will, to resolve the 'divine discontent' he has suffered
since childhood. From pharmaceuticals to New Age therapies to finding a guru, Richard's
journey dramatises the search for meaning in today's world.
This audacious novel is an exploration of masculinity, the mystical and our very human
yearning for something more. It is hypnotic, nuanced and Amanda Lohrey's finest offering yet a pilgrim's progress for the here and now.

A Spanish psychological thriller that asks big questions.
Perhaps God plays dice with our destiny, scattering the pieces of a puzzle that always keeps
coming back together one way or another. Maybe it is fate that snatches away what we cherish
the most — or perhaps everything that happens to us is the result of our own actions.
These questions torment Eduardo, a painter to whom nothing has made sense since the death of
his wife and daughter in a car accident fourteen years before. Recently released from prison, his
talent as a painter is being wasted as he languishes in his apartment, trying to drink away the
pain of his loss.
One day, a famous cellist gives Eduardo the biggest challenge of his life: he must paint the
portrait of the man who killed her son in a similar car accident. Accepting the assignment
triggers a spiral of emotions and tragic events that inevitably involves the people around him.
With each brush stroke, Eduardo opens doors that were meant to have stayed shut — doors
which, once opened, can never be closed.

Introduced by Yann Martel
Abandoned in a big city at the onset of winter, a hungry four-year-old boy follows a stray dog
to her lair. There in the rich smelly darkness, in the rub of hair, claws and teeth, he joins four
puppies suckling at their mother's teats. And so begins Romochka's life as a dog.
Weak and hairless, with his useless nose and blunt little teeth, Romochka is ashamed of what a
poor dog he makes. But learning how to be something else…that's a skill a human can master.
Fortunately—because one day Romochka will have to learn how to be a boy.
The story of the child raised by beasts is timeless. But in Dog Boy Eva Hornung has created
such a vivid and original telling, so viscerally convincing, that it becomes not just new but
definitive: Yes, this is how it would be.

'He knew that in another hour he would be speeding worldward, lifeward, Northward out of the
enchanted, time-far hills, out of the dark heart and mournful mystery of the South for ever'
Eugene Gant - isolated, sorrowful, yet filled with a 'quenchless hunger' for life - leaves his
hometown in the American South to make his way in the world. As he travels to Harvard, New
York and on to Europe, through grief, yearning, ecstasy and despair, he discovers his vocation
as a writer and meets the woman who will complete his life. Thomas Wolfe's bestselling sequel
to Look Homeward, Angel is a majestic, exuberant summation of the American experience; a
novel about the need to escape and the desire for home.

of Cave's 2014 tour of North America. It began life scribbled on airline sick bags during the 22city tour. It soon grew into a restless full-length contemporary epic. Spurred by encounters with
modern day North America, and racked by romantic longing and exhaustion, Cave teases out
the significant moments, the people, the books and the music that have influenced and inspired
him, and drops them into his Sick Bag.

'We are such stuff, As dreams are made on, and our little life, Is rounded with a sleep'
A storm rages. Prospero and his daughter watch from their desert island as a ship carrying the
royal family is wrecked. Miraculously, all on board survive. Plotting, mistaken identities,
bewitching love and enchantment follow as the travellers explore this mysterious place of
spirits and monsters, and discover that all is not as it seems. Shakespeare's late, great play is a
work filled with marvels, music and strangeness, fully exploiting the power of language and
the magic of theatre.

We learn how to live – how to love, how to connect, how to express ourselves – through
our parents. So how does a child process the world with a traumatised Vietnam veteran as
their father?
Ruth Clare's father came back from the Vietnam War a changed man: a violent, controlling
parent and a dominating partner. In the face of it all, Ruth's mother struggled to stand up for her
three children, and then descended into alcoholism once the marriage fell apart. Through a
childhood of being constantly on guard, with no one to protect her but herself, Ruth learned to
be strong and fierce in the face of fear.
After escaping her difficult upbringing, Ruth went on to have a family of her own. Becoming a
parent forced her to confront the way her father had treated her, and to recognise how it had
shaped her. Wanting to understand the experiences that had changed her father, she met with
other veterans and began learning about the effects of conscription, military training and posttraumatic stress disorder on returned servicemen. The stories Ruth uncovered left her with a
surprising empathy for the man who'd caused her so much pain, and renewed her determination
to stop the legacy of war passing down to her own children.
Weaving a striking personal narrative with a revelatory exploration of the effects of
war, Enemy is a bold, compelling and ultimately triumphant memoir from a hugely impressive
new Australian writer.
Never Broken: Songs Are Only Half the Story
Jewel
$55.00 (Royal H/B 230x152mm) Penguin 384pp
1 March 2016 9780399174339 Carton Qty: 30
When Jewel's first album, Pieces of You, topped the charts in 1995, her emotional voice and
vulnerable performance were groundbreaking. Drawing comparisons to Joan Baez and Joni
Mitchell, a singer-songwriter of her kind had not emerged in decades. Now, with more than
thirty million albums sold worldwide, Jewel tells the story of her life, and the lessons learned
from her experience and her music.
Living on a homestead in Alaska, Jewel learned to yodel at age five, and joined her parents'
entertainment act, working in hotels, honky-tonks, and biker bars. Behind a strong-willed
family life with an emphasis on music and artistic talent, however, there was also instability,
abuse, and trauma. At age fifteen, she moved out and tasked herself with a mission: to see if she
could avoid being the kind of statistic that her past indicated for her future. Soon after, she was
accepted to the prestigious Interlochen Arts Academy in Michigan, and there she began writing
her own songs as a means of expressing herself and documenting her journey to find happiness.
Jewel was eighteen and homeless in San Diego when a radio DJ aired a bootleg version of one
of her songs and it was requested into the top-ten countdown, something unheard-of for an
unsigned artist. By the time she was twenty-one, her debut had gone multiplatinum.
There is much more to Jewel's story, though, one complicated by family legacies, by crippling
fear and insecurity, and by the extraordinary circumstances in which she managed to flourish
and find happiness despite these obstacles. Along her road of self-discovery, learning to redirect
her fate, Jewel has become an iconic singer and songwriter. In Never Broken she reflects on
how she survived, and how writing songs, poetry, and prose has saved her life many times over.
She writes lyrically about the natural wonders of Alaska, about pain and loss, about the healing
power of motherhood, and about discovering her own identity years after the entire world had
discovered the beauty of her songs.
'From the very beginning of her recording career, Jewel's lyrics reflected the America she lived
in with her conversational poetic touch. My friend Ben Keith brought her to my ranch to record,
collecting our favorite musicians together for her early songs. The result, the enduring Pieces of
You, was a great record. Jewel's lyrics resonated with the times. In this, her first memoir, she
has a lot to reflect on, and the touch to tell her story well.' Neil Young
'Never Broken reads like one of Jewel's songs—it's vulnerable, passionate and forthright. And it
tells a compelling story, in this case, one about a young gifted woman's journey to becoming an
adult and an artist. Her writing, too, is like her voice, which, bolstered by sturdy melodies, rings
with honesty and clarity. This book is filled with deep, rewarding pleasures.'
Anthony DeCurtis, Contributing Editor, Rolling Stone
'Jewel's life in Never Broken reminded me so much of my own. But if we hadn't of come from
hardship and nothing, we wouldn't have made something out of ourselves. Her life is in her
songs and in her voice, and after knowing her, I know it's her soul. She is honest and tender, yet
has a backbone and a fire that only comes from her roots. In her stories about her childhood I
can't help but see so much of my own. The good, the bad, the love, the heartbreak. It's all there
and it's all Jewel.' Loretta Lynn
'Jewel is a truth-teller. Never Broken occupies that sacred space of soulful storytelling, hardearned wisdom, and beautiful writing. I couldn't put it down and I can't stop thinking about it.
This is a book that lingers in your heart.' Brené Brown, Ph.D., author of Rising Strong
'Jewel renders an intimate portrait of a young woman who, although immensely talented, has
spent her life 'surviving and recovering and problem solving since being a toddler.' [Never
Broken] is lushly descriptive, chronicling the author's earliest days on the old 'homestead,'
singing in saloons, busking in Mexico, and later living out of broken-down automobiles while
trying to make a living in the music business. The author mines her psyche for the benefit of
both herself and anyone else embroiled in profound emotional crisis . . . A moving musical
essay that should strike all the right notes with a wide selection of readers.' Kirkus
Jewel's evocative and captivating how-to for living a full and creative life . . . Jewel's writing is

plugging away. Jewel's lyrics, generously included throughout, reflect her authenticity and

'Singer, and poet Jewel has lived a famous rags-to-riches story and now tells all the painful
details of her turbulent life in this appealing memoir . . . Fans will be impressed by the singer's
tenacity and most likely shocked [as] she chronicles her struggle to earn a living, regain control
of her finances, and maintain her marriage . . . Her determination to carve out a happy life in the
midst of so much conflict is admirable, and her honesty is both bracing and appreciated . . . her

For nine seasons Rainn Wilson played Dwight Schrute, everyone's favorite work nemesis and
beet farmer. Viewers of The Office fell in love with the character and grew to love the actor
who played him even more. Rainn founded a website and media company, SoulPancake, that
eventually became a bestselling book of the same name. He also started a hilarious Twitter feed
(sample tweet: 'I'm not on Facebook' is the new 'I don't even own a TV') that now has more than
four million followers.
Now, he's ready to tell his own story and explain how he came up with his incredibly unique
sense of humor and perspective on life. He explains how he grew up 'bone-numbingly nerdy
before there was even a modicum of cool attached to the word.' The Bassoon King chronicles
his journey from nerd to drama geek ('the highest rung on the vast, pimply ladder of high school
losers'), his years of mild debauchery and struggles as a young actor in New York, his many
adventures and insights about The Office, and finally, Wilson's achievement of success and
satisfaction, both in his career and spiritually, reconnecting with the artistic and creative values
of the Bahá'í faith he grew up in.
'Filled with genuinely fascinating stories about his unusual upbringing, his entrée into the
comedy world and his thoughtfully developed views on life, Wilson's book is an unsurprisingly
funny and surprisingly poignant entry in the cavalcade of celebrity memoirs.' BookPage
'Wilson's hilarious book is a brisk, delightful read for his devoted fans.' American Way
'Wilson's story is engaging . . . Readers will relish his experiences as Dwight Schrute (who
contributes the book's foreword) in The Office—snagging the part, the show's debut, the actors
and writers, and behind-the-scenes reminiscences.' Publishers Weekly
'[Wilson] shares the ups and downs of his journey to fame in this funny and frank memoir . . .
of particular interest to aspiring actors and other creative types, as well as the many fans of the
long-running NBC comedy.' Booklist
'Certainly for fans of The Office, but the amiable actor also offers thoughtful glimpses into the
realities of the TV and film industry and an impassioned rationale for living an openly spiritual
life.' Kirkus Reviews
The Ice Age: a journey into crystal meth addiction

24 February 2016 9781925106848 Carton Qty: 1
A topical, insightful investigation into a drug that has taken a ferocious grip on societies
around the world — told by a man intimately acquainted with it.
Luke Williams was a freelance journalist researching addiction to crystallised
methamphetamine (commonly known as crystal meth or ice) when the worst possible thing
happened — he became addicted himself. Over the next three months, he was seduced by the
drug and descended into psychosis.
This confronting and illuminating story charts Luke's recovery from the drug, and his
investigation into its usage and prevalence in Australia and the Western world. In examining
what led to his addiction, Luke also explores the social problems that surround ice, scrutinising
whether its abuse is in fact an epidemic, with what we're experiencing now merely the tip of the
proverbial iceberg, or yet another moral panic about the underclass. Luke traces the history of
methamphetamine from its legal usage in the early 20th century to its contemporary relevance
as one of the most foreboding and talked-about illicit drugs in the world, and his search for
answers sees him visiting meth labs, interviewing addicts and law-enforcement officials, and
witnessing firsthand the effects of the drug on individuals, families, and the healthcare system.
Combining memoir with reportage, The Ice Age is a vital, compelling first-person account, and
an investigation into a drug that is fast becoming the subject of national discussion throughout
the Western world.

- Why you are more likely to be killed walking drunk than driving drunk
- How a prostitute is more likely to sleep with a policeman than be arrested by one
- Why terrorists might be easier to track down than you would imagine
- How a sex change could boost your salary
Because sometimes the most superfreaky solution is the simplest.

One of today's most original thinkers turns our view of the world upside down . . .
Life can be baffling and chaotic, and sometimes it's hard to make sense of it all. The answer,
explains groundbreaking thinker Steven Levitt, lies in economics. Not ordinary economics, but
freakonomics. It is at the heart of everything we see and do and the subjects that bedevil us
daily: from parenting to crime, sport to politics, health to education, fear to traffic jams.
In Freakonomics Levitt turns conventional economics on its head, stripping away the jargon
and calculations of the 'experts' to explore the riddles of everyday life and examine topics such
as: how chips are more likely to kill you than a terrorist attack; why sportsmen cheat and how
fraud can be spotted; why violent crime can be linked not to gun laws, policing or poverty, but
to abortion; and why a road is more efficient when everyone travels at 20mph. Ultimately, he
shows us that economics is all about how people get what they want, and what makes them do
it.
The Great Wall in 50 Objects
Lindesay William
$40.00 (P/B and Flaps) Viking 412pp
1 January 2016 9780734310484 Carton
Qty: 1
The culmination of a lifetime's field work and research, William Lindesay selects fifty artefacts
from around the world to tell the story of the Great Wall from the second century BC to the
late-twentieth century.
Abraham Ortelius' pioneering world atlas, the unexpected origins of 'wolf smoke', the
proliferation of the blunderbuss in the fifteenth century Great Wall theatre of war, even Kafka's
classic short story 'At the Building of the Great Wall' are some of the unique objects that were
shaped by China's most famous national landmark. Enhanced by stories of their discovery, and
those of their modern-day keepers, The Great Wall in 50 Objects is a personal and historical
exploration of a world wonder.
'William Lindesay has a knack for approaching the iconic Great Wall of China in ways that are
creative, idiosyncratic, and deeply personal . . . He has succeeded again with The Great Wall in
50 Objects.' Peter Hessler, author of River Town and Oracle Bones
'William Lindesay shows us the Wall in a completely new light by looking at the smaller
objects that make up its history . . . Through these objects we feel the Great Wall transform
from architecture into a living part of the history and culture of China.' Jack Weatherford,
author of Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World
'For years, Lindesay has hiked and studied the Great Wall with exceptional passion. To him, it
seems, the Great Wall is not a mere structure, a political icon, or a cultural curiosity, but a
treasure trove of stories.' Jaime FlorCruz, former Beijing bureau chief of Time magazine
and CNN
'If you are going to China, and intend to see the Great Wall (or even if, unwisely, you don't),
take this book on the plane with you, and absorb as many of its intriguing nuggets of Wall-lore
and China-lore as you can – it will make your visit infinitely richer.' Prof. Christopher Cullen,
Emeritus Director, Needham Research Institute, Cambridge
'William Lindesay lives and breathes Great Wall history and he exudes it with an engaging
passion.' Mike Loades, author of Swords and Swordsmen
'Lindesay presents a coherent and highly informative account of the geography, history, and
material culture of China's Great Wall. His compelling and well-written account is rich in
profound and often quite unexpected insights.' Lothar von Falkenhausen, Professor of
Chinese Archaeology and Art History, UCLA
'China's Great Wall is both a monument and a mystery, an almost magical construction mixing
beauty and terror. No better book panders to our fascination with its grandeur and the details of
its construction. William Lindesay answers our wish to get closer to the people who built it and
lived with it by revealing so many aspects of the Wall, taking us a journey across the centuries
and its vast length.' Jasper Becker, author of City of Heavenly Tranquility and Hungry

A key Australian participant in the battle against terrorism gives a riveting, up-to-date account
of the rise of ISIS, and what it means.
We have seen a 'blood year' in the Middle East – massacres and beheadings, fallen cities,
collapsed and collapsing states, the unravelling of a decade of Western strategy. We saw the
rise of ISIS, the splintering of government in Iraq, and a brutal Syrian civil war that grows ever
worse. What went wrong?
In this updated and vastly expanded version of his bestselling Quarterly Essay, David Kilcullen
calls on twenty-five years' experience to answer that question. Kilcullen looks to strategy and
history to make sense of the crisis. What are the roots and causes of the global jihad movement?
What is ISIS? What threats does it pose to Australia? What does its rise say about the
effectiveness of the War on Terror since 9/11, and what does a coherent strategy look like after
a disastrous year?
Blood Year is a vivid, urgent account of the War on Terror by a thinker who helped shape its
strategy, and who witnessed its evolution on the ground.
'We're now in the fifteenth year since 9/11 and, horrible as it is to contemplate, we may be
nowhere close to the end of the War on Terror. For a while, it looked like things were
improving: we were getting on top of the threat. But that was before ISIS began crucifying
children, before the Taliban came back out of the mountains to seize the cities, before the
bodies began washing up on the beaches, before the first Russian cluster bomb fell on a Syrian
village.'—David Kilcullen, Blood Year
'Expansive and ambitious . . . [Kilcullen] is a deft storyteller. The artful combination of his

Hell's Angels: The True Story of the 303rd Bomb Group in World
War II

The Hell's Angels.
At the outbreak of World War II, the United States was in no way prepared to wage war.
Although the U.S declared war against Germany in December 1941, the country lacked the
manpower, the equipment, and the experience it needed to fight. Even had an invasion force
been ready, a successful assault on Nazi-occupied Europe could not happen until Germany's
industrial and military might were crippled.
Because no invasion could happen without air superiority, the first target was the Luftwaffe—
the most powerful and battle-hardened air force in the world. To this end, the United States
Army Air Forces joined with Great Britain's already-engaged Royal Air Force to launch a
strategic air campaign that ultimately brought the Luftwaffe to its knees. One of the standout
units of this campaign was the legendary 303rd Bomb Group—Hell's Angels.
This is the 303rd's story, as told by the men who made it what it was. Taking their name from
their B-17 of the same name, they became one of the most distinguished and important air
combat units in history. The dramatic and terrible air battles they fought against Germany
changed the course of the war.
'[An] epic tale of the World War II aerial campaign over Europe . . . Hell's Angels is a gripping
and awe-inspiring book.' Nathaniel Fick, author of One Bullet Away
'It's all there—the boredom, the devotion, the horror and even the humor in an industrial war
fought on a global scale that we'll never see again. Unit histories just do not get any better.'
Barrett Tillman, author ofWhirlwind and Forgotten Fifteenth
'Jay Stout is a triple-threat aviation historian—an experienced combat aviator, a meticulous
researcher and a compelling story teller. His uncanny eye for authentic detail allows Hell's
Angels to be the incredible story of the 303rd Bomb Group and the bombing campaign that
crippled Nazi Germany. Stout makes a hard-ridden topic seem fresh and new again. Highly
recommended.' Walter J. Boyne, Author/Historian
'Jay Stout's reputation as a hard-hitting, authoritative, yet easy-to-read aviation author is upheld
with this book. Readers looking for new insights and material will not be disappointed. Highly
recommended.' Donald Caldwell, author of JG 26: Top Guns of the Luftwaffe
'A well-researched, beautifully written, and deeply evocative paean to the 303rd Heavy
Bombardment Group—and all the young American heavy-bomber crewmen who, from 1942 to
1945, went out, facing a high probability of death or imprisonment, to grind the German
industrial base to dust.' Eric Hammel, Author ofThe Road to Big Week
'Jay Stout has done a masterful job. The life and death struggles are told using the mission
records, personal writings and experiences of one of the Eighth Air Force's most successful
bombardment groups. All who wish a complete understanding of the role played by the Eighth
Air Force and the strategic bombing of Germany should read this book.' Keith Ferris, Artist
and Military Aviation Historian

A worldwide race is on to perfect the next engine of economic growth, the advanced lithiumion battery. It will power the electric car, relieve global warming, and catapult the winner into a
new era of economic and political mastery. Can the United States win?
Steve LeVine was granted unprecedented access to a secret federal laboratory outside Chicago,
where a group of geniuses is trying to solve this next monumental task of physics. But these
scientists— almost all foreign born—are not alone. With so much at stake, researchers in Japan,
South Korea, and China are in the same pursuit. The drama intensifies when a Silicon Valley
start-up licenses the federal laboratory's signature invention with the aim of a blockbuster sale
to the world's biggest carmakers.
The Powerhouse is a real-time, two-year thrilling account of big invention, big
commercialization, and big deception. It exposes the layers of competition and ambition,
aspiration and disappointment behind this great turning point in the history of technology.
'Mr. LeVine provides a fascinating insight into the challenges of scientific advancement,
especially the difficulty of translating victories in the lab to the demands of the mass market….
Mr. LeVine has written something like a thriller . . . An important story with world-wide
implications.' Wall Street Journal
'A propulsive techno-saga.' Nature
'Captivating . . . A rollicking good tale.' Joe Nocera, New York Times
'With the pace . . . of a thriller, [LeVine] . . . reveals how the very human foibles of scientists
and entrepreneurs, as well as fundamental physics and chemistry, stand in the way of such
efforts, which, if successful, could result in a new global industry and attendant jobs.' Scientific

5 December 2003 9781877008917 Carton Qty: 32
Truth can be stranger – and more fascinating – than fiction. Anna Funder tells extraordinary
stories from the underbelly of the most perfected surveillance state of all time, the former East
Germany.
Funder meets Miriam, the sixteen-year-old who might have started World War III. She visits
the regime's cartographer, obsessed to this day with the Berlin Wall, then gets drunk with the
legendary 'Mik Jegger' of the east, once declared by the authorities 'no longer to exist'. And she
finds spies and Stasi men, still loyal to the Firm as they wait for the next revolution.
Stasiland is a lyrical, at times funny account of the courage some people found to withstand the
dictatorship, and the consequences for those who collaborated. Funder explores the daily chaos
and harsh beauty of Berlin, a place where some people are trying to remember, and others just
as hard to forget.
Stasiland is a brilliant debut by a prodigiously gifted writer.

Days before, seventeen-year-old Jennifer Bailey, her thirteen-year-old brother David, and their
friends Paul Henson and Merrilee White had made a gruesome pact: they'd kill their parents,
steal their cars and credit cards, and flee to Canada.
Paul and Merrilee's parents thwarted their fates, but Jennifer and David's mother Susan Bailey
wasn't so lucky. When the devoted mother returned home from work, her two children and their
friend Paul took turns stabbing her and slicing her throat. When they were done, they fled in
Susan's car. They made it as far as South Dakota before being arrested.
What really led them to make such a despicable pact? The answers would cast a disturbing new
light on the way we see the all-American family, our neighbors, our children—and the society
that nurtured them.

Robert Mapplethrope (1946–1989) is one of the twentieth century's most important artists,
known for his groundbreaking and provocative work. He studied painting, drawing and
sculpture in Brooklyn in the 1960s and started taking photographs when he acquired a Polaroid
camera, in 1970. Beginning in 1973 and until his death in 1989, Mapplethorpe explored the
flower with extraordinary dedication, using a range of photographic processes – from Polaroids
to dye-transfer color works.
In carefully constructed compositions, he captured roses, orchids, snapdragons, daisies, tulips
and other species – both common and rare – and forever transformed the way we perceive a
classic and familiar subject. The stunning results are collected in Mapplethorpe: Flora, the most
comprehensive volume to date on this body of Mapplethorpe's work.

Including never-before-published material, Marcel Breuer is an account of his entire career,
from his beginnings at the Bauhaus in pre-war Germany through his collaboration with Walter
Gropius, and the establishment of his own practice in the USA. Despite the fifteen or more
years that separated him from pioneers such as Frank Lloyd Wright, Le Corbusier, and Ludwig
Mies van der Rohe, Breuer is often called the last of the first generation of Modernists.
While engaging with Breuer's principles and theories of Modernist design, the book also
includes detailed descriptions of his houses and buildings in Europe and the United States,
including the Whitney Museum in New York and the NESCO headquarters in Paris – as well
as his iconic furniture such as the Wassily and Cesca chairs.

'As art in the US gained international attention after 1945, earlier American art was cast off by
critics and curators as a kind of demented uncle, in favour of establishing a more elevated
pedigree, a celebrated cast of exalted European artists – but more was owed to American art
prior to 1945 than anybody understood, or cared to admit ...
The primary aim in this book is to develop a sense of integration of all facets of American art,
and to stress the continuities and connections within it during these years, all but overlooked
until now. For the first time, essential aspects of the history of modernism in America, usually
treated piecemeal, and seldom if ever connected, will be thoroughly integrated.'

Why Diets Make us Fat: the unintended consequences of our
obsession withweight loss

$37.00 (Royal Pb 230x152 Mm) Scribe Publications 304pp
24 February 2016 9781925321418 Carton Qty: 1
Based on her viral TED talk (over three million views!), neuroscientist and science writer
Sandra Aamodt explains how the latest scientific research contradicts what you think you
know about dieting and weight loss.
We think we know the answer to weight loss: Cut calories. Eat less. We conclude that fat is a
failure of willpower, perhaps supplemented by a quirk of genetics. But in Why Diets Make Us
Fat, Sandra Aamodt explains why dieting not only doesn't work, but is likely to do more harm
than good.
• When you diet, your brain thinks you're starving and goes into survival mode. People who
have gone on extreme diets may never lose their food obsession as a result, even if they go back
to eating normally.
• The long-term failure rate for losing weight by willpower dieting is between 80-98%,
depending on how you define success.
• There's no evidence that dieting improves long-term health, while some research suggests
that weight cycling, or dieting to lose weight and gaining it back, can be more dangerous than
being overweight itself.
• It's better to be fifty pounds overweight and exercise every day than it is to be at your 'target
weight' but sedentary.
By harnessing her knowledge of brain science and biology, Aamodt successfully stabilized her
weight at a healthy level and now enjoys a better relationship with food. Combining deep
research and brutal candor about her own experience as a weight cycler, Aamodt gives us
several clues into the obesity epidemic based on the latest science, including new findings about
gut bacteria, why bariatric surgery works, and what a real alternative to dieting and weight
cycling might look like.

Living an Inspired Life
Dyer, Wayne
$26.00 (Royal Pb 230x152 Mm) Hay House 272pp
24 February 2016 9781401949433 Carton Qty: 1
'What I'm offering in this book is the awareness that we can return to a full-time position of
inspiration, which is the true meaning of our life.' — Dr. Wayne W. Dyer.
There's a voice in the Universe entreating us to remember our purpose, our reason for being
here now in this world of impermanence. The voice whispers, shouts, and sings to us that this
experience—of being in form in space and time—has meaning. That voice belongs to
inspiration, which is within each and every one of us.
The feelings of emptiness; the idea that there must be something more; wondering, Is this all
there is?; and trying to determine the meaning of life . . . this is all evidence of a yearning to
reconnect with our soul space. We're aching for our calling to be felt and expressed.
In Living an Inspired Life, Dr. Wayne W. Dyer explains how we've chosen to enter this world
of particles and form. From our place of origin, in ways that we don't readily comprehend now,
we knew what we were coming here to accomplish, and we participated in setting this life
process in motion. So why not think along these same lines? Why put the responsibility or
blame on any one or any thing that's not a part of us? On Earth we have the capacity of
volition—we can choose—so let's assume that we had the same capacity when we resided in
the spiritual realm. We chose our physical body, and we chose the parents we needed for the
trip. It doesn't seem too great a stretch to move into the idea that we chose this life in concert
with our Source.
Inspiration can be cultivated and be a driving force throughout life, rather than showing up
every now and then and just as mysteriously disappearing, seemingly independent of our
desires. Inspiration is for everyone! It isn't reserved for high-profile creative geniuses in the arts
and sciences—it's inherent in our Divine birthright. The problem is that as children we're
gradually taught to believe exclusively in the world of phenomena where ego is dominant and
inspiration diminished.
As you read each chapter in this book, you'll find specific suggestions for living 'in-Spirit.'
From a very personal viewpoint, Dr. Dyer offers a blueprint through the world of inspiration—
your ultimate calling.
The Brain Fog Fix: Reclaim Your Focus, Memory, and Joy in Just
3 Weeks

A new epidemic is sweeping the world. Some people call it 'ADHD,' 'scatter brain,' or 'brain
fog.' And some people simply say they 'just don't feel like themselves'—and haven't for a long
time.
People are thinking and feeling worse than ever. Why? Because our brains are not getting the
support they need to produce the essential brain chemicals that keep us energized, calm,
focused, and inspired. In fact, if you look at the way that most of us live, it's almost as though
we had chosen a lifestyle deliberately intended to undermine our brain chemistry.
Fortunately, there is a solution. The Brain Fog Fix is a three-week program designed to help
you naturally restore three of your brain's most crucial chemicals: serotonin, dopamine, and
cortisol. Rebalancing these three brain chemicals will, in turn, enable the rest of your brain's
chemistry to reach optimal levels. You will find yourself thinking more clearly, remembering
more accurately, learning more quickly, and unleashing the floodgates of your creativity. You
will also find yourself feeling more optimistic, calm, energized, connected, and inspired.
The good news is that this is easier than you think. Instead of trying to ambitiously overhaul
one aspect of your life entirely with some difficult-to-maintain resolution, begin by making
small and achievable changes in many different areas of your life.
'If I've learned one thing from the thousands of people I've treated, it's that you have to take the
whole person into account if you want to think and feel better.' —Dr. Mike Dow

In 1999, Bronx-born plumber Tommy Rosa died after being the victim of a hit-and-run
incident. Lying by the road, he felt a tug whisking him off into a tunnel of light. He found
himself in a blessed place. He was shown that God created the Earth to nourish and heal
mankind and that our sense of separation from each other and the divine is of our own making.
He met his Divine Teacher and received a series of profound lessons—Eight Revelations about
the nature of Heaven and Earth. Tommy returned to Earth with a heightened sense of
connection to one and all. But the bliss of Heaven was quickly replaced by a long and painful
recovery, and Tommy struggled to make sense of all that he had learned.
Around the same time, Dr. Stephen Sinatra, an integrative cardiologist, was revolutionising his
medical practice with a holistic approach to treatment. When a chance meeting brought the two
men together, they gradually came to realise that the revelations of healing Tommy gleaned
from his near-death experience aligned with the groundbreaking results Dr. Sinatra was seeing
in his own practice and scientific research.
Health Revelations from Heaven and Earth brings divine wisdom together with the science of
how we can live as God intended. Let this book lead you toward revitalised health, a newfound
sense of purpose, and spiritual balance. Fully corroborated by Dr. Sinatra's four decades of
medical expertise, these divine lessons bring Heaven and Earth a little bit closer.

There are pivotal moments in the lives of all seekers when we realize that we've been traveling
on our path of growth toward happiness and fulfillment, but, simply put, we want to go faster.
How we have been living, working, and loving just isn't enough or even acceptable anymore.
We know we're being called to something more significant and expanded—we can feel it. At
these times what's needed is not simply more change or an adjustment in our outer life, but
profound transformation. We don't just want to rearrange the pieces of ourselves so that they
look better temporarily. We want nothing less than rebirth. We are ready for Soul Shifts.
Soul Shifts is the groundbreaking new book from New York Times best-selling author and
renowned transformational teacher Barbara De Angelis, Ph.D. Now, in her most powerful
offering yet—and the culmination of her life's work—Dr. De Angelis offers a practical
handbook for awakening, and a brilliant revisioning of the journey of personal and spiritual
transformation that will inspire and enlighten longtime seekers as well as new arrivals to the
path of growth. Soul Shifts are radical, vibrational internal shifts that spontaneously and
inevitably transform the way you relate to yourself, to others, and to the world. For
transformation to be real and lasting, it must originate from the inside out, so that instead of
trying to constantly micromanage everything, you operate from true mastery at the deepest
level of who you are—the soul level.
When you learn how to make these Soul Shifts on the inside, everything on the outside of your
life shifts. Places where you've felt stuck or confused become illuminated with new clarity and
understanding. Obstacles turn into possibilities, dead ends transform into doorways, and
challenges convert into astonishing maps leading you to exciting new territories . . . all because
you have made a Soul Shift.
A masterful and moving teacher, Dr. De Angelis will offer you illuminating guidance and
invaluable techniques for living a life of practical spirituality and making your own personal
Soul Shifts. Written with Barbara De Angelis's trademark eloquence, keen insight, and
compassionate wisdom, Soul Shifts takes you on nothing less than a sacred inner journey to
emotional and spiritual rebirth and lasting attainment. Reading it will leave you truly and
authentically uplifted and transformed.

The Tao of Happiness: Stories from Chuang Tzu for Your Spiritual
Journey

If you have not encountered Chuang Tzu before, prepare yourself for a treat. He was the sage
who stood apart from all others in Chinese history. He was a unique presence, a great mind like
no one before or since. Chuang Tzu quickly distinguished himself and became well known for
his deep understanding and sense of humor. His mastery was such that he could explain the Tao
with simple stories, and his humor was such that he could see the joy in ordinary things. He
taught his students about 'carefree wandering'—the path of moving through life with a free and
happy heart, regardless of how turbulent the journey might be.
It is time for modern readers to join in on the fun. Chuang Tzu's wisdom is not just for Eastern
culture, but for all of humanity. We may not have the instability or the clash of massive armies
indicative of Chuang Tzu's time, but we have a lot of stress and tension in our modern world.
Many of us find ourselves fighting little battles on the personal front just to get through the day.
We can benefit greatly from Chuang Tzu's teachings. These parables are presented throughout
this book and juxtaposed with the charming and intelligent prose of modern-day Taoist teacher
and author Derek Lin. Together, Chuang Tzu and Lin will present you with simple lessons that
will have a lasting impact on your life.

NBC Today Show nutrition and health guru Madelyn Fernstrom presents the ultimate
guide to food and medicine interaction.
While no one wants to take medication to treat diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease or
other ailments, for millions of people, this is a daily reality. But when it comes to food and
medicine interactions, what you don't know can harm your health.
Don't Eat This If You're Taking That takes the mystery out of food and medications, providing
an easy-to-use guide for anyone taking a medication—short term or long term—that indicates
foods to avoid that can interfere with the action of the medication. Readers can easily look up a
medication, see what foods to avoid, and make some smart swaps. Small diet changes learned
from this book can have big health payoffs!
An added bonus in each chapter is a Dietary Supplements Alert box, providing the most up-todate information on interactions with vitamins, minerals, and other dietary supplements. We all
believe a diet rich in colorful fruits and vegetables, lean proteins, whole grains, and low-fat
dairy products is the path to healthy eating, right? Not always. Consumers can easily
personalize their healthiest eating plan to work with not against their medications.
'If you plan on taking another pill in your life . . . for anything—you'll be happy you picked up
this book. Madelyn and John explain so clearly the do's and don'ts. You have to wonder why no
one has done this before!'
—HODA KOTB, COHOST, NBC TODAY SHOW
'You have to wonder why Don't Eat This If You're Taking That hasn't been
written before. It's so obviously necessary in our 'take a pill for anything
that ails you' culture. Kudos to Madelyn and John for making it so
powerful yet simple to understand.'

The Giving Way to Happiness: Stories and Science Behind the LifeChanging Power of Giving

1 March 2016 9780399183775 Carton Qty: 18
We often focus on how our gifts can help those in need. But the act of giving actually improves
our own lives as well. In The Giving Way to Happiness, Jenny Santi overturns conventional
thinking about what it takes to be happy by revealing how giving to others—whether in the
form of money, expertise, time, or love—has helped people from all walks of life find purpose
and joy. Drawing on the wisdom of great thinkers past and present, as well as cutting-edge
scientific research, Santi makes an eloquent and passionate case that oftentimes the answers to
the problems that haunt us, and the key to the happiness that eludes us, lie in helping those
around us.
This book is filled with inspiring stories told firsthand by Academy Award winner Goldie
Hawn, Noble Peace Prize winner Muhammad Yunus, supermodel Christy Turlington Burns,
Teach for America founder Wendy Kopp, philanthropist Richard Rockefeller, environmentalist
Philippe Cousteau, activist Ric O'Barry, bestselling author Isabel Allende, ALS survivor Augie
Nieto, and many others from all over the world. Despite their diverse backgrounds, they have
all found unexpected happiness and fulfillment through giving. This book tells us not just how
they changed the world but also how their acts changed their very own lives.
In addition, Santi reveals:


How altruism involves far more than suppressing basic selfish urges. Rather, we are
wired to give, as it activates the same pleasure centers of the brain stimulated by food,
sex, and drugs
How helping others—whether by walking a friend through a struggle that you've also
experienced or by supporting a cause to honor a loved one's memory—can be a
healthy way to deal with adversity and process grief
The unexpected reasons why those who 'gave it all up' to make a difference, and who
face the direst situations, are nevertheless some of the happiest, most fulfilled, and
least angst-ridden people you'll ever meet.
Practical, universally applicable lessons on what kind of giving makes people happy
and what doesn't. How do you discover giving that is unique to you and makes you
feel good?
In this inspiring book, Santi turns conventional wisdom upside down about what it takes to be
happy and reveals the surprising reasons that have led so many people to live lives full of
meaning, purpose and happiness.
'The Giving Way to Happiness is full of interesting insights from big-ticket philanthropists and
prominent personalities, but it is also about something bigger: how we can all find happiness
through helping others. If done right, giving may well be the greatest gift you can give
yourself.' Adam Grant, professor, The Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania,
and New York Times-bestselling author of Give and Take
'This thoughtful look at philanthropy honestly examines the self-interest often involved in it and
suggests that a self-focused approach to giving may in fact be entirely appropriate.' Publishers
Weekly
'Well done! A wonderful and timely contribution.' Christy Turlington Burns, founder of
Every Mother Counts
'The Giving Way to Happiness will change the way you approach giving, shifting the focus
from charity to empathy, from a one-way transfer to a mutually beneficial act, from guilt and
obligation to pleasure and happiness. Jenny Santi, through her well-researched, eloquent, and
insightful book, teaches us how we can help ourselves by helping others.' Carl Liederman,
former CEO of One Young World, and founder & CEO of Liedership

Cybernetics (loosely translated from the Greek): 'a helmsman who steers his ship to port.'
Psycho-Cybernetics is a term coined by Dr. Maxwell Maltz, which means, 'steering your mind
to a productive, useful goal so you can reach the greatest port in the world, peace of mind.'
Since its first publication in 1960, Maltz's landmark bestseller has inspired and enhanced the
lives of more than 30 million readers. In this updated edition, with a new introduction and
editorial commentary by Matt Furey, president of the Psycho-Cybernetics Foundation, the
original text has been annotated and amplified to make Maltz's message even more relevant for
the contemporary reader.
'Before the mind can work efficiently, we must develop our perception of the outcomes we
expect to reach. Maxwell Maltz calls this Psycho-Cybernetics; when the mind has a defined
target it can focus and direct and refocus and redirect until it reaches its intended goal.' Tony
Robbins (from Unlimited Power)

In To Explain the World, pre-eminent theoretical physicist Steven Weinberg offers a rich and
irreverent history of science from a unique perspective - that of a scientist. Moving from
ancient Miletus to medieval Baghdad to Oxford, and from the Museum of Alexandria to the
Royal Society of London, he shows that the scientists of the past not only did not understand
what we understand about the world - they did not understand what there is to understand. Yet
eventually, through the struggle to solve such mysteries as the backward movement of the
planets and the rise and fall of tides, the modern discipline of science emerged.

In an age of perpetual distraction, how do we focus on what matters most?
In the modern age something is always seeking to occupy our attention. Many of us rarely have
a moment to ourselves, let alone to be ourselves, leaving us feeling disconnected and out of
touch. In this entertaining follow-up to his bestselling The Case for Working With Your Hands,
Matthew Crawford argues that by reconnecting with the people, places and things around us,
we create meaningful relationships that make us happier and allow us to flourish.
Drawing on moral philosophy, cognitive science, the work lessons of craftsmen and his own
life lessons as an academic and mechanic, he shows how each of us can learn to live in the
world around us.

New Zealand was the last country in the world to be discovered and settled by humankind. It
was also the first to introduce full democracy. Between those events, and in the century that
followed the franchise, the movements and conflicts of human history have been played out
more intensively and more rapidly in New Zealand than anywhere else on Earth.
The Penguin History of New Zealand tells that story in all its colour and drama. The narrative
that emerges is an inclusive one about men and women, Maori and Pakeha. It shows that British
motives in colonising New Zealand were essentially humane; and that Maori, far from being
passive victims of a 'fatal impact', coped heroically with colonisation and survived by
selectively accepting and adapting what Western technology and culture had to offer.
This bestselling book, the triumphant fruit of careful research, wide reading and judicious
assessment, is the unchallenged contemporary reference to the history of New Zealand.

A gripping epic fantasy and prequel to the award-winning Books of Pellinor series by awardwinning author Alison Croggon.
Cadvan of Lirigon, once the most brilliant young Bard of his generation, is exiled for a terrible
crime which caused the death of his lover, Ceredin, and the serious injury of his rival, Dernhil
of Gent. Racked by guilt and self-contempt, he flees to a poor mining village, seeking a new
life as a humble cobbler. His exile is broken when Dernhil tracks him down, with the news that
the evil Cadvan unwittingly loosed on Annar, the revenant Bone Queen, is stalking Lirigon.
Together the Bards must save not only the living, but also the dead. But can Dernhil forgive the
injury that Cadvan caused him? And can Cadvan ever forgive himself?
Critically acclaimed fantasy author Alison Croggon returns to Pellinor with The Bone Queen, a
prequel to the events described in the popular Books of Pellinor quartet. The Bone Queen tells
the story of Cadvan's struggle for redemption, as the Dark begins its quest to destroy the Bards
of Annar.
Alison Croggon's fantasy quartet, The Books of Pellinor, has been steadily growing in
popularity worldwide since the first volume was released in Australia in 2002. It has now sold
more than three quarters of a million copies worldwide.
The story begins with The Gift (published in the US as The Naming), which was shortlisted for
two Aurealis Awards, is a CBCA Notable Book and voted a Top Ten Teen Read of 2005 by the
editors at amazon.com, and continues with The Riddle, The Crow and The Singing. Since its
initial publication, it's been released in the UK, the States and Europe, where the series has
received critical raves and popular acclaim.

ultimate test.

And the 5th Wave? No one knows. But it's coming.
On a lonely stretch of highway, Cassie runs.
Runs from the beings that only look human, who have scattered Earth's last survivors.
To stay alone is to stay alive, until she meets Evan Walker. Beguiling and mysterious, Evan
may be her only hope.
Now Cassie must choose: between trust and despair, between defiance and surrender, between
life and death.

Sam likes to pull things apart and put them back together, and think about how things work. But
he is sometimes so busy doing this, he forgets his chores on the family farm.
Then one day he creates something truly wonderful . . .
An inspirational story about discovery, invention and the importance of dreams.
Praise for Raewyn Caisley and Karen Blair's picture book Hello From Nowhere:
This is a children's book that makes you want to live within its pages. Hello from Nowhere is
about Eve, a little girl who lives in the country. Her home is a place that some adults write off
as being dull, specifically her Nan who won't visit. Eve finds joy in the simplest of things —
lying on a warm flat rock, a bobtail lizard and just having the time to run. When Nan does visit
she is surprised by what she learns. Sometimes the perspective of a child reminds us of what is
precious in our lives.' The West Australian
'Raewyn Caisley and Karen Blair have created the most endearing child protagonist I have met
this year in their fabulous picture book Hello From Nowhere. Raewyn Caisley's enthusiasm and
appreciation of the Australian outback oozes out of this great story.
'My children and I enjoyed the way Eve, the main character, interacted with her wonderful
surroundings. We had a glimpse of how interesting a roadhouse can be. It was very
empowering to see Eve come up with an idea of how to get her Nan to visit, and it was
heartwarming when Eve shows her Nan how special it is to live in the middle of nowhere.
'Karen Blair has done an amazing job in bringing ALL the characters to life. Her illustrations
are fun, appealing, and full of emotion. Whether it's sharing a laugh, sharing a magical moment
or sharing a hug, this relationship between grandmother and granddaughter is beautifully
presented.
'This picture book would make a great gift and would be a lovely addition to children's libraries
(I have already given a copy to our school library!).'
http://kidsreviewcrew.blogspot.com.au/2014/08/hello-from-nowhere-by-raewyn-caisley.html
'This is a uniquely Australian book, celebrating as it does what makes the outback so special.
But it's also a moving look at the bond between grandparent and grandchild. Heart-warming.'
Kids' Book Review
'Hello From Nowhere is a lovely story about the magic, importance and character of Australia's
outback. . . Classically Australian and a lovely story of the bond between a girl and her
grandmother, this story offers kids some great insight into life outside of the big smoke – where
magic abounds. The detailed and thoughtful illustrations of Hello From Nowhere pull children
and parents right into a place of red dust and star-filled nights.' http://reviewzoo.com.au/hellonowhere/
Little Tree

24 February 2016 9780399163975 Carton
Qty: 1
From #1 New York Times bestselling Loren Long comes a gorgeously-illustrated story that
challenges each of us to have the courage to let go and to reach for the sun.
In the middle of a little forest, there lives a Little Tree who loves his life and the splendid leaves
that keep him cool in the heat of long summer days. Life is perfect just the way it is.
Autumn arrives, and with it the cool winds that ruffle Little Tree's leaves. One by one the other
trees drop their leaves, facing the cold of winter head on. But not Little Tree—he hugs his
leaves as tightly as he can. Year after year Little Tree remains unchanged, despite words of
encouragement from a squirrel, a fawn, and a fox, his leaves having long since turned brown
and withered. As Little Tree sits in the shadow of the other trees, now grown sturdy and tall as
though to touch the sun, he remembers when they were all the same size. And he knows he has
an important decision to make.
Praise for Little Tree
'The illustrations are beautifully rendered . . . Understated and inviting, young readers will be
entranced by Little Tree's difficult but ultimately rewarding journey.' Booklist, starred review
'Long's gentle but powerful story about a young tree who holds tight to his leaves, even as
everyone else lets theirs drop, takes on nothing less than the pain and sorrow of growing up.
Season after season, Little Tree clings to his brown-leaved self until he can take a leap and shed
his protection. He feels 'the harsh cold of winter,' but soon grows tall and green, and it's not bad
at all. As in Long's unaccountably profound books about Otis the tractor, a pure white
background somehow adds to the depth.' The New York Times Book Review
'[Long's] willingness to take his time and even test the audience's patience with his arboreal
hero's intransigence results in an ending that's both a big relief and an authentic triumph. Long's
earnest-eloquent narrative voice and distilled, single-plane drawings, both reminiscent of an
allegorical pageant, acknowledge the reality of the struggle while offering the promise of
brighter days ahead.' Publishers Weekly, starred review
'Long is sparing with the text, keeping it simple and beautifully descriptive. Brilliantly colored
illustrations done in acrylic, ink, and pencil stand out on bright white pages, with Little Tree
taking the center position in each double-page spread. Tender and gentle and altogether
lovely.' Kirkus Reviews

As night fell, something stirred the darkness. Birds shrieked, rising into the air as the peace
cracked and fell apart. Flashes of crimson uniform cut the smothering black of the woods. The
smell of smoke lifted through the boughs and choked the leaves. A drum beat out a steady pulse
as soldiers tore over the dead leaf matter, hacking their way through the web of forest.
The prisoner ran.
When Lowell Sencha finds the strange girl lying as if dead on the riverbank, he is startled to
find that she is like them: waer. Human, but able to assume the form of a wolf. The Sencha

arrival of a fellow traveller, and a hunted one at that, threatens their very survival.
Sure enough, the soldiers of the blood-purist Daeman Leldh soon descend on the village
searching for her, burning and slaughtering. Lowell and the mysterious stranger are among the
few to escape. And now they must find their way to the city of Luthan where, she says, they
will find people to help them bring down Daeman Leldh.
If she can persuade them not to kill her.
This brilliant young adult fantasy debut from young Australian writer Meg Caddy sees the
emergence of an exciting new talent in speculative fiction.

The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind

When a terrible drought struck William Kamkwamba's tiny village in Malawi, his family lost
all of the season's crops, leaving them with nothing to eat and nothing to sell. William began to
explore science books in his village library, looking for a solution. There, he came up with the
idea that would change his family's life forever: he could build a windmill. Made out of scrap
metal and old bicycle parts, William's windmill brought electricity to his home and helped his
family pump the water they needed to farm the land.
Retold for a younger audience, this exciting memoir shows how, even in a desperate situation,
one boy's brilliant idea can light up the world. Complete with photographs, illustrations, and an
epilogue that will bring readers up to date on William's story, this is the perfect edition to read
and share with the whole family.
'William Kamkwamba's achievements with wind energy should serve as a model of what one
person, with an inspired idea, can do to tackle the crisis we face. His book tells a moving and
exciting story.' Al Gore, former Vice President and Nobel Laureate
'This is an amazing, inspiring and heartwarming story! It's about harnessing the power not just
of the wind, but of imagination and ingenuity. Those are the most important forces we have for
saving our planet. William Kamkwamba is a hero for our age.' Walter Isaacson, author
of Einstein and Benjamin Franklin
'This book is inspirational. What William did took nothing more than initiative and a little
learning, yet he changed his village and his life. There's never been a better time to Do It
Yourself, and I love how much we can learn from those who often have no other choice.' Chris
Anderson, editor in chief of Wired and author ofFree and The Long Tail
