The Book of Fame won the Deutz Medal for Fiction in the 2001 Montana Book Awards
and the Tasmania Pacific Fiction Prize in 2003.
In 1905 a motley group of young New Zealand rugby players sets out by steamer on a journey
to the other side of the world. A year later most of them are back. Bearing scars of illness and
injury they are accorded a hero's welcome the like of which has never been seen in their country
before.
Their fame has spread before them across three continents. They are the headlines of the day.
Only gradually do they understand how, and why, they should thus be chosen.
In this hugely affecting account of innocence abroad, Lloyd Jones uses his characters' collective
voice to trace their rise from obscurity to kingly fame. Told in prose that excites and challenges
at every turn, Jones' novel offers a meditation on the curious workings of fame as well as an
exploration into the national myth of the first celebrated New Zealanders.

The Burning Boy won the New Zealand Book Awards in 1991.
The Burning Boy is a vivid picture of life in a provincial town in times of disturbance and
change. Certainties collapse in the face of violence. People start along strange ways, some to
loss or ruin, others to unexpected happiness.
'Written with verve and economy, Maurice Gee's novel has a wealth of penetratingly observed
incidents, some spectacular and dramatic, some distinctly unpleasant. Most, however, are
ordinary, everyday events from which Gee builds an engaging narrative and a detailed picture
of the life of the city - a city which, under different names in successive novels, he is steadily
making into his equivalent of Hardy's Wessex.' - Times Literary Supplement

Potiki won the New Zealand Book Awards in 1987.
In a small coastal community threatened by developers who would ravage their lands it is a
time of fear and confusion – and growing anger. The prophet child Tokowaru-i-te-Marama
shares his people's struggles against bulldozers and fast money talk. When dramatic events
menace the marae, his grief threatens to burst beyond the confines of his twisted body. His allseeing eye looks forward to a strange and terrible new dawn.

The Singing Whakapapa won the New Zealand Book Awards in 1995.
What is the truth of history, what are the facts - and how are we to know them?
This powerful novel is the story of John Flatt - missionary agriculturalist, witness to Waharoa's
war of the 1830s against the Arawa, to the murder of the young woman Tarore and to the
signing of the Treaty of Waitangi - and his great-great-grandson Hugh Grady, who more than a
hundred-and-fifty years later tried to make sense of his own life by exploring all that has gone
before. It is a story laced with passion, betrayal and revenge, at many levels, as greed overtakes
good intentions and the cloak of history is pulled aside.
Above all, The Singing Whakpapa is a tale for our time - a compelling historical detective story
in which the truth is stranger than any fiction, and in which the present becomes a backseat
driver to the past.

To get their money back, Juan joins forces with an old friend from his days in the CIA to track

It is only after the Oregon's hunt begins that the enormity of the treacherous plan comes into

Speakers of the Dead is a mystery novel centering around the investigative exploits of a young
Walt Whitman, in which the reporter-cum-poet navigates the seedy underbelly of New York
City's body-snatching industry in an attempt to exonerate his friend of a wrongful murder
charge.
The year is 1843; the place: New York City. Aurora reporter Walt Whitman arrives at the
Tombs prison yard where his friend Lena Stowe is scheduled to hang for the murder of her
husband, Abraham. Walt intends to present evidence on Lena's behalf, but Sheriff Harris turns
him away. Lena drops to her death, and Walt vows to posthumously exonerate her.
Walt's estranged boyfriend, Henry Saunders, returns to New York, and the two men uncover a
link between body-snatching and Abraham's murder: a man named Samuel Clement. To get to
Clement, Walt and Henry descend into a dangerous underworld where resurrection men steal
the bodies of the recently deceased and sell them to medical colleges. With no legal means to
acquire cadavers, medical students rely on these criminals, and Abraham's involvement with the
Bone Bill—legislation that would put the resurrection men out of business—seems to have led
to his and Lena's deaths.
Fast-paced and gripping, Speakers of the Dead is a vibrant reimagining of one of America's
most beloved literary figures.
'Boldly plotted and compulsively readable, Speakers of the Dead is a welcome discovery for
any fan of literary history thrillers. Sanders's debut pulls off an elusive accomplishment, making
us rethink what we know about favorite historical figures and entertaining us at the same time.'
Matthew Pearl, author of The Last Bookaneer and The Dante Club
'In Speakers of the Dead, the conceit alone is worthy of your attention, Whitman as detective,
but Aaron Sanders goes above and beyond in creating a character and a world that feels both
entirely authentic and yet deliriously imagined, supported by elegant prose that demands your
attention. This is what you want from a good mystery, enough verve and complexity that you
cannot focus on anything else, and Sanders does this as well as anyone in the game.' Kevin
Wilson, author of The Family Fang
'A vivid and engaging adventure, written with a modern freshness and understanding of which
the young Whitman himself might have approved.' Nicola Upson, author of The Death of
Lucy Kyte
'How did reporter Walt Whitman transform himself from an unremarkable New
York flaneur into America's most visionary poet? J. Aaron Sanders pursues this mystery as
passionately as he does the murders and body snatchers slipping through the shadows of
nineteenth-century New York. A first-rate literary mystery, thrilling and illuminating in equal
measure.' Sherill Tippins, author of Inside the Dream Palace: The Life and Times of New
York's Legendary Chelsea Hotel

London, the Blitz, autumn 1940. As the bombs fall on a terrified city, ambulance driver Elinor
Brooke races through black nights of carnage. A former artist who - like her husband Paul - saw
the hopes of her generation die on the battlefields of the First World War, she watches in
impotent horror as death rains down. Overwhelmed by the endless destruction and carelessly
betrayed by Paul, Elinor seeks solace away from home, but no life and no lover can remain

Our foremost literary chronicler of the First World War, Pat Barker turns her critical,
compassionate eye on the brutality and terror of the Second.

Available for the first time in English, here is an unforgettable portrayal by a master
novelist of the physical and psychological devastation wrought in the homeland by Hitler's
war.
Late April, 1945. The war is over, yet Dr Doll, a loner and 'moderate pessimist', lives in
constant fear. By night, he is haunted by nightmarish images of the bombsite in which he is
trapped — he, and the rest of Germany. More than anything, he wishes to vanquish the demon
of collective guilt, but he is unable to right any wrongs, especially in his position as mayor of a
small town in north-east Germany that has been occupied by the Red Army.
Dr Doll flees for Berlin, where he finds escape in a morphine addiction: each dose is a 'small
death'. He tries to make his way in the chaos of a city torn apart by war, accompanied by his
young wife, who shares his addiction. Fighting to save two lives, he tentatively begins to
believe in a better future.
Written with Fallada's distinctive power and vividness, Nightmare in Berlin captures the
demoralised and desperate atmosphere of post-war Germany in a way that has never been
matched or surpassed.

Eliza travels to Sydney to deal with the estate of her Aunt Dodge, and finds Maxine, a hitherto

up on their inheritance, the women's lives become consumed by absurd attempts to deal with
Australian tax law, as well their own mounting boredom and squalor.
Hailed as the most astonishing debut novel of the decade, Dodge Rose calls to mind Henry
Green in its skewed use of colloquial speech, Joyce in its love of inventories, and William
Gaddis in its virtuoso lampooning of law, high finance, and national myth.

On the night Leo Stone returns—notionally from the dead, in reality from the Democratic
Republic of the Congo—Cass Tuplin gets a call from Gary Kellett. A call about an actual dead
person: Gary's daughter, killed in a car crash. Gary's adamant it wasn't an accident.
Cass agrees to investigate. After all, not just Rusty Bore's only purveyor of fine fast food, Cass
is also the closest thing to a private detective within a couple of hundred k's. The local police
(Cass's son Dean) try to warn her off. It's true Cass's status as a celebrated yet non-licensed
nobody doesn't entirely suit Dean. But Dean also believes Gary's a delusional, grieving father.
Is that the case? Or did a young journalist die after asking too many questions?
Cass intends to find out. As soon as she's dealt with some queries raised by the reappearance of
Leo Stone.

A smart, sassy self-appointed private investigator, Cass Tuplin is unforgettable and the town of
Rusty Bore will never be the same...
Cass Tuplin's takeaway isn't the last shop left in Rusty Bore. There's also Vern's General
Store. But it's true the town's not exactly overflowing with residents, and a stranger in Cass's
shop is quite an event. Especially one like Clarence: suspicious, bleeding, looking for a burger
with the lot and somewhere quiet to stay. Cass knows just the place. Then she finds out more
about Clarence and wants him out of town, but it turns out that's not as easy as it sounds.
And then she finds the body.
It sounds like a job for the local police. Except that the local police is Cass's son Dean, who
has his doubts about Cass. And there's no way he's expending police resources on his
mother's fantasy crimes, not anymore. So it looks like Cass is going to have to find the killer on
her own.

On the eve of her departure from Boston to find the bones of the walking whale—the fossil that
provides a missing link in our evolution—Zubaida Haque falls in love with Elijah Strong, a
man she meets in a darkened concert hall.
The two immediately connect despite their differences: Elijah belongs to a prototypical
American family, whereas Zubaida is the adopted daughter of a wealthy family in Dhaka. But
when a twist of fate sends her back to her hometown, the inevitable force of society compels
her to take a very different path, and before she knows it she's married to her childhood best
friend and discontentedly settled into a traditional Bangladeshi life.
In a final bid to escape familial constraints, she moves to Chittagong to help make a
documentary film about the infamous shipbreaking beaches, where ships are destroyed and
their various parts put up for sale.
Here she meets Anwar, a shipbreaker whose story holds a key that unlocks for Zubaida not only
the mysteries of her past but the possibilities of a new life—and she will make a choice from
which she can never turn back.

A powerful contemporary retelling of Heart of Darkness.
One rainy night in Australia, Marlouw's sister phones with the request that he fetch her son
'from that bloody country'. And Marlouw, with his club foot and hardened spirit, believes it is
his fate to carry out this instruction.
Drenched in sweat after an ominous flight, his exodus takes him through a South Africa where
poverty is rife, infrastructure has collapsed, AIDS has become widespread, and corruption
reigns. He is told: 'the whites who've stayed on, stay because they're not able to leave'. Yet still
he journeys deeper into the unknown — past the suffering masses alongside the road to the
outer darkness of the rural areas.
There are rumours that Koert is on the old family farm, now in the possession of the family's
former workers. That there, guarded and isolated, he has built himself a powerful empire as the
King of Meat. Here, on Ouplaas, at the end of Marlouw's terrible journey, the heart of terror is

event – and the miracle – she struggles to reconcile her family's faith with her sense that they

From the author of Currawong Creek and Turtle Reef comes a beautiful story of family,
friendship and the healing power of love.
When Sydney botanist Kim Sullivan and her husband inherit Journey's End, a rundown farm
high on the Great Eastern Escarpment, they dream of one day restoring it to its natural state.
Ten years later, however, Kim is tragically widowed. Selling up is the only practical option, so
she and her children head to the mountains to organise the sale. The last thing Kim expects is
for Journey's End to cast its wild spell on them all.
The family decide to stay, and Kim forges on with plans to rewild the property, propagating
plants and acquiring a menagerie of native animals. But wayward wildlife, hostile farmers and
her own lingering grief make the task seem hopeless. That is, until she meets the mysterious
Taj, a man who has a way with animals. Kim begins to feel that she might find love again. But
Taj has his own tragic past – one that could drive a wedge between them that can not be
overcome . . .

The Foreign Land of the Very Wealthy - otherwise known as Manhattan's Upper East Side - has
its own rigid code of behaviour.
It's a code strictly adhered to by the Wilder-Bingham family, who live beautifully-displayed,
impeccably-edited lives.
Thomas Wilder-Bingham is a partner in a prestigious law firm.
At least - that's who he is to Glenn, his icy, domineering wife.
At least - that's who Glenn is to Kemble, her weak and dissolute son.
At least - that's who Kemble is to Natalie, the unhappy mother of his three children.
At least - that's who Natalie is to Teddy, her protective teenage son.
So when an eccentric thirty-eight-year-old school teacher from England bounces into their lives
with a secret sorrow and a heart as big as the city, nobody realises she hasn't read the rule
book.
And for the Wilder-Bingham family, whose lives begin to unravel thread by thread, the
consequences are explosive . . .

'I cannot make you understand. I cannot make anyone understand what is happening inside me.
I cannot even explain it to myself.'
This collection of new translations brings together the small proportion of Kafka's works that he
himself thought worthy of publication. It includes Metamorphosis, his most famous work, an
exploration of horrific transformation and alienation; Meditation, a collection of his earlier
studies; The Judgement, written in a single night of frenzied creativity; The Stoker, the first
chapter of a novel set in America and a fascinating occasional piece, and The Aeroplanes at
Brescia, Kafka's eyewitness account of an air display in 1909. Together, these stories reveal the

'He said that Shamil had ordered Hadji Murat to be taken dead or alive....'
In 1851, at the age of twenty-two, Tolstoy joined the Russian army and travelled to the
Caucasus as a soldier. The four years that followed were among the most significant in his life,
and deeply influenced the stories collected here. Begun in 1852 but unfinished for a decade,
The Cossacks describes the experiences of Olenin, a young cultured Russian who comes to
despise civilization after spending time with the wild Cossack people. Sevastopol Sketches,
based on Tolstoy's own experiences of the siege of Sevastopol in 1854-55, is a compelling
consideration of the nature of war, while Hadji Murat, written towards the end of his life,
returns to the Caucasus of Tolstoy's youth to explore the life of a great leader torn apart by a
conflict of loyalties. Written at the end of the nineteenth century, it is amongst the last and
greatest of Tolstoy's shorter works.

'Then he saw the barrel of a gun aimed dead on target - not at him, as he might have expected,
but at the clergyman's back.'
Set in a crumbling Spanish mansion, The House of Ulloa follows innocent and timid Father
Julián Alvarez as he tries to turn the aristocratic owner away from drinking, womanizing and
emptying the last of the family coffers. But his attempts end in disgrace and disaster in Emilia
Pardo Bazán's brilliant novel, which seamlessly mixes realism with the gothic, and pathos with
a rich vein of humour.

Aristocracy, liberalism, progress, principles...useless words! A Russian doesn't need them'
Returning home after years away at university, Arkady is proud to introduce his clever friend
Bazarov to his father and uncle. But their guest soon stirs up unrest on the quiet country estate his outspoken nihilist views and his scathing criticisms of the older men expose the growing
distance between Arkady and his father. And when Bazarov visits his own doting but oldfashioned parents, his disdainful rejection of traditional Russian life causes even further
distress. In Fathers and Sons, Turgeneve created a beautifully-drawn and highly influential
portrayal of the clash between generations, at a time just before the end of serfdom, when the
refined yet vanishing landowning class was being overturned by a brash new breed that strove
to change the world.

'Manuscripts don't burn'
In Soviet Moscow, God is dead, but the devil - to say nothing of his retinue of demons, from a
loudmouthed, gun-toting tomcat, to the fanged fallen angel Koroviev - is very much alive. As
death and destruction spread through the city like wildfire, condemning Moscow's cultural elite
to prison cells and body bags, only a madman, the Master, and Margarita, his beautiful,
courageous lover, can hope to end the chaos. Written in secret during the darkest days of
Stalin's reign and circulated in samizdat form for decades, when The Master and the
Margarita was finally published it became an overnight literary phenomenon, signalling artistic
freedom for Russians everywhere.

'I pity this house; the curse of God is hanging over it'
Set in Lombardy during the Spanish occupation of the late 1620s, The Betrothed tells the story
of two young lovers, Renzo and Lucia, prevented from marrying by the petty tyrant Don
Rodrigo, who desires Lucia for himself. Forced to flee, they are then cruelly separated, and
must face many dangers including plague, famine and imprisonment, and confront a variety of
strange characters - the mysterious Nun of Monza, the fiery Father Cristoforo and the sinister
'Unnamed' - in their struggle to be reunited. A vigorous portrayal of enduring passion, The

While his old furniture rots in storage, Malte Laurids Brigge lives in a cheap room in Paris,

person he sees seems to carry their death with them, and he thinks of the deaths, and ghosts, of
his aristocratic family, of which only he remains. The only novel by one of the greatest writers
of poetry in German, the semi-autobiographical Notebooks is an uneasy, compelling and poetic
book that anticipated Sartre and is full of passages of lyrical brilliance.

A group of Jewish refugees are thrown together on board a dilapidated freighter charting a
course for Australia. Fleeing terrible scenes of destruction in Europe, they are bound by a deep
sense of loss and the uncertainty of their fate.
As the ship lists, inner conflicts burst to the surface and romance, revenge, guilt and desperation
fill the craft. There's poignancy, drama and an abiding strength of humanity as the passengers'
lives play out in this unbearable hinterland between sky and sea.
Now, seventy years since its publication in 1946, Between Sky & Sea cements its place as a
major Australian major work of diaspora fiction.
Arnold Zable's introduction highlights the chilling parallels between Bergner's tale and the
sinking of the SIEV X off the Australian coast, giving the reader pause to reflect on the
continuing plight of asylum seekers throughout history and across the globe.

'I don't think I've seen a more impressive collection of Australian writers in a single
book.' Stephen Romei, The Australian
One of the central moral issues of our time is the question of asylum seekers, arguably the most
controversial subject in Australia today. In this landmark anthology, twenty-seven of Australia's
finest writers have focused their intelligence and creativity on the theme of the dispossessed,
bringing a whole new perspective of depth and truthfulness to what has become a fraught,
distorted war of words. This anthology confirms that the experience of seeking asylum – the
journeys of escape from death, starvation, poverty or terror to an imagined paradise – is part of
the Australian mindset and deeply embedded in our culture and personal histories.
A Country Too Far is a tour de force of stunning fiction, memoir, poetry and essays. Edited by
award-winning writers Rosie Scott and Tom Keneally, and featuring contributors including
Anna Funder, Christos Tsiolkas, Elliot Perlman, Gail Jones, Raimond Gaita, Les Murray,
Rodney Hall and Geraldine Brooks, this rich anthology is by turns thoughtful, fierce, evocative,
lyrical and moving, and always extraordinarily powerful.
A Country Too Far makes an indispensable contribution to the national debate.
'There is a passion about the book, and a moral, emotional and artistic synergy that makes for
deeply satisfying reading. It is as if the contributors have themselves felt dispossessed, not of
their land, but of the idea of their own country, and have seized the opportunity to reclaim it . . .
A fine book like A Country Too Far, one that inspires both compassion and anger, can change
the way people think and act, and encourage them to expect more from themselves and their
nation.' Sydney Morning Herald
'A Country Too Far represents the varied and vibrant voice of writers speaking out as Australia
contravenes its obligations to refugees. Its stories, poems, memoirs and essays collect their
work into an eloquent refusal of silence in the face of, as John Tranter writes: 'this/ fetch of
disparate peoples/ assigned to come possessionless into massive/ light'.' Weekend Australian
'Brilliant testimony from some of our finest writers.' Anne Deveson
'The strength of the book is its range of genres and depth of perspective . . . A book to pass on
to others who don't necessarily share its perspective or those who do but need sustenance. But
it's also a book for holding onto and dipping into again . . . A Country Too Far is part of a
literary tradition in which authors attempt to face the social context in which they live . . . to
resist political word games with other words.' The Guardian
'With asylum seekers high on Australia's moral, social and political agenda, you'll want to make
room on your reading list for A Country Too Far . . . [These] 27 Australian poets, authors and
journalists . . . have thoughtfully and beautifully expressed their ideas and views on the
complexities of the refugee issue.' InStyle
'A stunning anthology and searing moral work that beautifully gives voice to the voiceless
without preaching at any point . . . In a political era where there appears to be no bottom to the
barrel of immigration policy, A Country Too Far is timely, important and
wise.' readings.com.au
'Don't buy a copy of this book. Buy two. Send one to a federal politician.' Newcastle Herald
'A Country Too Far, co-edited by Rosie Scott and Tom Keneally, is a timely attempt to set the
record straight about asylum seekers in Australia, to counter the negative media propaganda
and to protest at the government's treatment of them. Featuring some of Australia's finest
writers, it is an immensely readable, humane collection of fiction, memoir, poetry and
essays.' Lucy Popescu, huffingtonpost.co.uk
'Profoundly important. It deftly and eloquently touches on so many of the key tensions and
issues in this debate . . . We can only hope that this collection is widely read and that it stirs
within us a desire to reclaim the compassion that we once had and demand from our leaders a
more humane policy.' Sydney Review of Books

Invercargill, at the far southern end of New Zealand. It's the late 1960s and two blokes sit in a
modest shed drinking tea. The old bloke is telling stories about his life; the young bloke, a
junior reporter, is typing earnestly on his Olympia portable typewriter. Dramatic tales abound –
of youthful scrapes, motorcycle races and ingenious repairs, of international travel and
friendships and road trips, of high speeds and accidents and meetings with dutiful policemen.
Burt Munro became known around the world through the 2005 movie The World's Fastest
Indian, but had long been known to motorcycle fans as a colourful character and speed recordholder.
Our young journalist, Neill Birss, moved away from Invercargill and the interviews he had
typed out were never published. In fact, they were lost during the move and only resurfaced
under strange circumstances many decades later. Here they are in this book – the lost interviews
with Burt Munro, legendary Kiwi motorcycle rider – his voice as fresh and his stories as vivid
as the day he told them to the young reporter.

Ardennes 1944: Hitler's Last Gamble

On 16 December 1944, Hitler launched his 'last gamble' in the snow-covered forests and gorges
of the Ardennes on the Belgian/German border. Although Hitler's generals were doubtful of
success, younger officers and NCOs were desperate to believe that their homes and families
could be saved from the vengeful Red Army approaching from the east. The Ardennes
offensive, with more than a million men involved, became the greatest battle of the war in
western Europe.
In January 1945, when the Red Army launched its onslaught towards Berlin, the once-feared
German war machine was revealed to be broken beyond repair. The Ardennes was the battle
which finally broke the Wehrmacht.
'Antony Beevor, one of the finest narrative military historians now writing, is a master of
revealing vignettes.' The New York Times
'If there's one thing that sets Beevor apart from other historians - beyond his gifts as a
storyteller - it's because he is not afraid to look at the most uncomfortable, even frightening
subjects, but does so in a way that does not threaten the reader. There's rarely a judgmental note
to his writing. It's like having Virgil there to lead you through the underworld: he doesn't leave
you stranded amid the horror, but leads you back out again, a wiser person for having
undergone the journey.' Keith Lowe in The Daily Telegraph
'Indispensable.' David Aaronovitch, The Times
'The best military prose of our era.' El País
'A wonderfully compelling follow-up to D-Day. No one has recounted it better than Beevor.
His gripping, beautifully written narrative moves seamlessly from the generals' command posts
to the privates in their snow-covered foxholes, and confirms him as the finest chronicler of war
in the business.' Saul David, Observer
'Enthralling.' Daily Mail
'An exemplary picture of the misery and horror of this most appalling conflict, in which more
than a million men fought in conditions comparable to those on the eastern Front. This is
history as it should be written.' Spectator
'Another perfectly judged episode of the second world war, a worthy companion to the works
that made Beevor's name. Yet again, he has shown that he has the gift of alchemy.' Roger

In 2009 Elspeth Muir's youngest brother finished his last university exam and went out with
some mates to get drunk. Later that night he wandered to the Story Bridge. He put his phone,
wallet, T-shirt and thongs on the walkway, climbed over the railing, and jumped thirty metres
into the Brisbane River below.
Three days passed before police divers pulled his body out of the water. When Alexander had
drowned, his blood-alcohol reading was almost 0.3.
Why do some of us drink so much, and what happens when we do? Fewer young Australians
are drinking heavily, but the rates of alcohol abuse and associated problems—from blackouts to
sexual assaults and one-punch killings—are undiminished.
Intimate and beautifully told, Wasted mixes memoir with reportage to illuminate the sorrows,
and the joys, of drinking. Muir traces her own history with the bottle. She speaks with the father
of a boy who died in a drunken attack, and returns to Schoolies on the Gold Coast. And she
tries to make sense of her much-loved brother's death.

In 1986, Jon Cryer won over America as Molly Ringwald's loyal and lovable best friend,
Duckie, in the cult classic Pretty in Pink in a role that set the tone for his three-decade-long
career in Hollywood. He went on to establish himself as one of the most talented comedic
actors in the business, ultimately culminating in his current turn as Alan Harper on the
massively popular sitcom Two and a Half Men.
With the instincts of a natural storyteller, Cryer charts his extraordinary journey in show
business, illuminating his many triumphs and some missteps along the way. Filled with
exclusive behind-the-scenes anecdotes, Cryer offers his own endearing perspective on
Hollywood, the business at large, and the art of acting.
Cryer has worked with some of the biggest and most provocative names in the business, and
here, for the first time, he details his experiences with Charlie Sheen, John Hughes, Robert
Altman, Molly Ringwald, Demi Moore, Judd Nelson, and Christopher Reeve, among many
others. He shares the intimate details of his friendships and relationships, pays tribute to his
mentors, and explores the peculiar combination of heart, talent, and wisdom it takes to survive
not just the bad times in a notoriously fickle industry but even the good times.
In this revealing, humorous, and introspective memoir, Cryer offers readers a front-row seat as
he reminisces about his life and experiences in showbiz over the past thirty years.
'Completely entertaining. Cryer addresses Charlie Sheen's fall from grace to the reader's
satisfaction, but the real gems are the insightful, self-deprecating tales from Cryer's own career,
from Pretty in Pink to Two and a Half Men's twelve-year-run.' GQ
'A wry, self-deprecating and funny memoir that covers [Cryer's] thirty-five-year career.' The

In Journey of a Thousand Storms Dr Kooshyar Karimi, author of Leila's Secret, tells his
gripping personal story of surviving prison in Iran and life as a refugee before finding
success in Australia.
Kooshyar Karimi had two careers in Iran, one as a doctor and one as an award-winning
translator. Until he was kidnapped by the Intelligence Service.
Behind his professional success, Kooshyar was a rebel on several fronts. Marginalised since
boyhood as a Jew in a fundamentalist Islamic state, he was a member of a political group that
opposed the government. He'd also been using his medical skills illegally, to save unmarried
pregnant women from death by stoning.
Snatched from the street by the secret service, he was jailed and tortured and then forced to spy
for the regime, before finally escaping to Turkey. There he faced a whole new struggle to keep
his family safe while awaiting refugee status from the UN. He was forbidden to work and at the
mercy of corrupt police, con men and red tape. Then life became more dangerous still, when the
Intelligence Service tracked him down and used his mother, back in Iran, as blackmail.
Kooshyar's inspiring story of how he managed to forge a new life in Australia is heightened by
his largeness of heart, strength of character, and insight into human behaviour, from the
unfathomably evil to the selflessly kind. With the skill of a natural storyteller, Journey of a
Thousand Storms recounts a life of endurance, compassion and gritty determination.
Praise for Leila's Secret
'A masterpiece of moral impossibilities and climactic suspense.' Bob Brown
'Remarkable . . . Karimi earns our trust through his experiences and his sympathy with the
plight of the marginalised.' Owen Richardson, Saturday Age

Playing to the Edge: American Intelligence in the Age of Terror
Hayden, Michael V
$55.00 (Royal H/B 230x152mm) Penguin Press 464pp
13 April 2016 9781594206566 Carton Qty: 16
For General Michael Hayden, playing to the edge means playing so close to the line that you
get chalk dust on your cleats. Otherwise, by playing back, you may protect yourself, but you
will be less successful in protecting America. 'Play to the edge' was Hayden's guiding principle
when he ran the National Security Agency, and it remained so when he ran CIA. In his view,
many shortsighted and uninformed people are quick to criticize, and this book will give them
much to chew on but little easy comfort; it is an unapologetic insider's look told from the
perspective of the people who faced awesome responsibilities head on, in the moment.
How did American intelligence respond to terrorism, a major war and the most sweeping
technological revolution in the last 500 years? What was NSA before 9/11 and how did it
change in its aftermath? Why did NSA begin the controversial terrorist surveillance program
that included the acquisition of domestic phone records? What else was set in motion during
this period that formed the backdrop for the infamous Snowden revelations in 2013?
As Director of CIA in the last three years of the Bush administration, Hayden had to deal with
the rendition, detention and interrogation program as bequeathed to him by his predecessors. He
also had to ramp up the agency to support its role in the targeted killing program that began to
dramatically increase in July 2008. This was a time of great crisis at CIA, and some agency
veterans have credited Hayden with actually saving the agency. He himself won't go that far,
but he freely acknowledges that CIA helped turn the American security establishment into the
most effective killing machine in the history of armed conflict.
For 10 years, then, General Michael Hayden was a participant in some of the most telling
events in the annals of American national security. General Hayden's goals are in writing this
book are simple and unwavering: No apologies. No excuses. Just what happened. And why. As
he writes, 'There is a story here that deserves to be told, without varnish and without spin. My
view is my view, and others will certainly have different perspectives, but this view deserves to
be told to create as complete a history as possible of these turbulent times. I bear no grudges, or
at least not many, but I do want this to be a straightforward and readable history for that slice of
the American population who depend on and appreciate intelligence, but who do not have the
time to master its many obscure characteristics.'

For the past 140 years, Germany has been the central power in continental Europe. Twenty-five
years ago a new German state came into being. How much do we really understand this new
Germany, and how do its people now understand themselves?
Neil MacGregor argues that uniquely for any European country, no coherent, over-arching
narrative of Germany's history can be constructed, for in Germany both geography and history
have always been unstable. Beginning with the fifteenth-century invention of modern printing
by Gutenberg, MacGregor chooses objects and ideas, people and places which show us
something of this collective imagination. There has never been a book about Germany quite
like it.
'Brilliant, bold, remarkable.' David Blackbourn, Guardian
'A dazzling history.' Dominic Sandbrook, Sunday Times, Books of the Year
'Thrilling . . . MacGregor's vivid history is a rollercoaster ride of ideas, artefacts and images.'
Peter Watson, The Times

A small boy, an orphan of the First World War, wanders into the Australian airmen's mess in
Germany, on Christmas Day in 1918. A strange boy, with an uncertain past and an
extraordinary future, he became a mascot for the air squadron and was affectionately named
'Young Digger'. And in one of the most unusual incidents ever to emerge from the battlefields
of Europe after the Great War, this solitary boy was smuggled back to Australia by air
mechanic Tim Tovell, a man who cared for the boy so much that he was determined, however
risky, to provide Young Digger with a new family and a new life in a new country, far from
home.
This is one of the most extraordinary incidents of the First World War. It is a story not only
about the horrors of war, but of high adventure and fatherhood, by the award-winning author of
Soldier Boy.
'What a story, told in Anthony Hill's inimitable style of high adventure and clear detail.'

The Mathews Men: Seven Brothers and the War Against Hitler's

Mathews County, Virginia, is a remote outpost on the Chesapeake Bay with little to offer
except unspoiled scenery—but it sent one of the largest concentrations of sea captains and U.S.
merchant mariners of any community in America to fight in World War II. The Mathews
Men tells that heroic story through the experiences of one extraordinary family whose seven
sons (and their neighbors), U.S. merchant mariners all, suddenly found themselves squarely in
the cross-hairs of the U-boats bearing down on the coastal United States in 1942.
From the late 1930s to 1945, virtually all the fuel, food and munitions that sustained the Allies
in Europe traveled not via the Navy but in merchant ships. After Pearl Harbor, those
unprotected ships instantly became the U-boats' prime targets. And they were easy targets—the
Navy lacked the inclination or resources to defend them until the beginning of 1943. Hitler was
determined that his U-boats should sink every American ship they could find, sometimes within
sight of tourist beaches, and to kill as many mariners as possible, in order to frighten their
shipmates into staying ashore.
As the war progressed, men from Mathews sailed the North and South Atlantic, the Caribbean,
the Gulf of Mexico, the Mediterranean, the Indian Ocean, and even the icy Barents Sea in the
Arctic Circle, where they braved the dreaded Murmansk Run. Through their experiences we
have eyewitnesses to every danger zone, in every kind of ship. Some died horrific deaths.
Others fought to survive torpedo explosions, flaming oil slicks, storms, shark attacks, mine
blasts, and harrowing lifeboat odysseys—only to ship out again on the next boat as soon as
they'd returned to safety.
The Mathews Men shows us the war far beyond traditional battlefields—often the U.S.
merchant mariners' life-and-death struggles took place just off the U.S. coast—but also takes us
to the landing beaches at D-Day and to the Pacific. 'When final victory is ours,' General Dwight
D. Eisenhower had predicted, 'there is no organization that will share its credit more deservedly
than the Merchant Marine.' Here, finally, is the heroic story of those merchant seamen, recast as
the human story of the men from Mathews.
Praise for The Mathews Men
'Vividly drawn and emotionally gripping, The Mathews Men shines a light on the mostly
forgotten but astonishing role the U.S. Merchant Marine played in winning World War II. It
brings back to life a breed of men who repeatedly risk all for their country. It chronicles the
sagas of families that stoically endured heartrending losses. It honors a community that pulled
together to support its sons as they set out—again and again—on deadly seas. And it reminds
us how much we owe to the legions of ordinary Americans who quite literally saved the
civilized world in the 1940s.' Daniel James Brown, #1 New York Times bestselling author
of The Boys in the Boat

heroes facing death in World War II.' James Bradley, author of Flags of Our Fathers

On April 16, 1944, the SS Pan Pennsylvania was torpedoed and sunk by the German
submarine U-550 off the coast of Nantucket, Massachusetts. In return the sub was driven to the
surface with depth charges, and then sent to the bottom of the ocean by three destroyer escorts
that were guarding the naval convoy. For more than sixty years the location of the U-boat's
wreck eluded divers.
In 2012, a team found it—the last undiscovered U-boat in dive-able waters off the Eastern
Seaboard of the United States, more than three hundred feet below the surface.
This is the story of their twenty-year quest to find this 'Holy Grail' of deep-sea diving and their
tenacious efforts to dive on this treacherous wreck—and of the stunning clash at sea that sealed
its doom and brought the Battle of the Atlantic to America's doorstep.

From the 2015 winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature, Svetlana Alexievich, comes the first
English translation of her latest work, an oral history of the disintegration of the Soviet Union
and the emergence of a new Russia.
Bringing together dozens of voices in her distinctive documentary style, Second-Hand Time is a
monument to the collapse of the USSR, charting the decline of Soviet culture and speculating
on what will rise from the ashes of Communism.
As in all her books, Alexievich gives voice to women and men whose stories are lost in the
official narratives of nation-states, creating a powerful alternative history from the personal and
private stories of individuals.

An exploration of the timeless beauty of Indian design through 200 classic objects.
The Indian subcontinent is an amalgamation of peoples, cultures, languages and philosophies.
Throughout history Indian culture has been subject to myriad different influences, from the
Mughal empire to the British Raj to the now globalized nation in transition. Similar to Wa:
Essence of Japanese Design, this book will trace continuity through the history of Indian design
from antiquity to the present day.
The book explores the elements that make Indian design so special, including the varied
manufacturing and decorating techniques of the country's incredibly skilled craftsmen, highly
specialized object designs that have been refined over centuries, and ongoing responses to
nature, technology, and necessity. The objects were chosen for their enduring quality and
beauty, and their integral connection to Indian culture.
Rather than following a chronological order or concentrating on the (often anonymous)
designers, this book separates the objects into abstract categories anchored by Hindi words
chosen to illuminate how each object fits into the lives of Indians.

Old Records Never Die: One Man's Quest for His Vinyl and His

$30.00 (B+ 210x138mm Demy 8vo) Plume 288pp
13 June 2016 9780142181614 Carton Qty: 24
High Fidelity meets Killing Yourself to Live in this memoir of one man's search for his lost
record collection. As he finds himself within spitting distance of middle-age, journalist Eric
Spitznagel feels acutely the loss of . . . something. Freedom? Maybe. Coolness? Could be. The
records he sold in a financial pinch? Definitely. To find out for sure, he sets out on a quest to
find the original vinyl artifacts from his past. Not just copies.
The exact same records: The Bon Jovi record with his first girlfriend's phone number scrawled
on the front sleeve. The KISS Alive II he once shared with his little brother. The
Replacements Let It Be he's pretty sure, 20 years later, would still smell like weed.
As he embarks on his hero's journey, he reminisces about the actual records, the music, and the
people he listened to it with—old girlfriends, his high school pals, and, most poignantly, his
father and his young son. He explores the magic of music and memory as he interweaves his
adventures in record- culture with questions about our connection to our past, whether we can
ever recapture it, and whether we would want to if we could.
Foreword by Wilco's Jeff Tweedy
'Spitznagel's quest for the actual records of his youth could have been a gimmick. Instead it's a
touching exploration of loss: of opportunities, of loved ones, of the ability to even remotely
discern what's hip. Hilarious and heartfelt, this is a book for anyone who has ever spent entire
years of their lives haunting record stores, dissecting the merits of Doolittle, and studying liner
notes with the intense focus of a Talmudic scholar.' Jancee Dunn, author of But Enough
About Me
'I'm working on a list of things that make me laugh harder than Eric Spitznagel's writing. So far,
it includes old Albert Brooks movies, videos of animals riding bicycles and . . . well, that's
about it. What I'm trying to say is: Eric Spitznagel is hilarious. And this book is perfectly
Spitzagelian: Funny, smart, even a bit wistful at times. The way he feels about the Pixies –
that's similar to the way I feel about Spitznagel's writing.' AJ Jacobs, author of The Year of
Living Biblically
'A funny and heartfelt memoir about music collecting that gives birth to a new branch of social
science: Gen-X archaeology.' Neal Pollack, author of Alternadad
'The perfect combination of a vinyl completist's dream and nightmare.' Patton Oswalt, author
of Zombie Spaceship Wasteland
'To say Old Records Never Die is a book about music is to say On The Road is a book about
cars. Really, Eric Spitznagel's energetic and endlessly engaging memoir is a book about the
ways we seek to discover and recover our essential selves. Music lovers will love this book;
unrepentant nostalgiacs, like myself, can expect to be absolutely riveted.' Davy Rothbart,
creator of Found Magazine and author of My Heart is an Idiot
'I can't remember when a book had me get out my black pen and underline so many wonderful
things. Maybe never. Loss and laughter and all those denizens of sonic ghost town record stores
willing but often unable to make us all whole again. Something on every page to stoke the geek
heart with sad recognition and hope.' Marc Spitz, author of Poseur: A Memoir of Downtown
New York City in the 90s
'Eric Spitznagel is just like Captain Ahab, if Ahab were chasing Billy Joel albums instead of a
white whale. As he recounts in this very funny book, Spitznagel found way more than he
bargained for. And just like Ahab, he dies in the end. (Spoiler alert.)' Rob Tannenbaum, coauthor of I Want My MTV: The Uncensored Story of the Music Video Revolution

To millions of people, Nick Offerman is America. Both Nick and his character, Ron Swanson,
are known for their humor and patriotism in equal measure.
After the great success of his autobiography, Paddle Your Own Canoe, Offerman now focuses
on the lives of those who inspired him. From George Washington to Willie Nelson, he
describes twenty-one heroic figures and why they inspire in him such great meaning. He
combines both serious history with light-hearted humor—comparing, say, Benjamin Franklin's
abstinence from daytime drinking to his own sage refusal to join his construction crew in
getting plastered on the way to work. The subject matter also allows Offerman to expound upon
his favorite topics, which readers love to hear—areas such as religion, politics, woodworking
and handcrafting, agriculture, creativity, philosophy, fashion, and, of course, meat.
Praise for Paddle Your Own Canoe:
'[Offerman] explores his Paul Bunyan-like image with tongue-in-cheek lessons on manliness,
complete with illustrations and advice . . . [and] hilarious anecdotes from his
career.' Entertainment Weekly
'Take it from us; Offerman's take on American history is worth reading.' Vanity Fair
'[T]hought-provoking, profane, and frequently hilarious.' Publishers Weekly
'Filled with advice on how to woo a woman, grill meat, and grow a perfect moustache, this
book makes for perfect reading around the campfire.' Parade
'Just try to resist the myriad manly charms of . . . [Offerman's] memoir about woodworking,
eating, acting, cultivating the perfect moustache, and seducing Megan Mullally.' Vulture.com

recruit partners, strategize the perfect crime, and discreetly sell off your stolen national
treasures.
Advance praise for How to Steal the Mona Lisa:
'In one sense Mona Lisa is long-form, silly comedy. In another it's a considered, clear series of
attacks on convention and the concept of 'value.' . . . a work of sublime absurdity.' Library
Journal
'The perfect book for someone looking to pull off that seemingly impossible heist! The
reconnaissance for seven world famous artifacts has been done for you, but the skills you will
learn can be utilized in any high value caper. If the riches you will gain aren't enough, the
laughs you have along the way are going to be priceless.' Domenick Dicce, author of You're A

A Long Time Coming: essays on ageing
Joosten, Melanie
$35.00 (B+ 210x138mm Demy 8vo) Scribe Publications 208pp
30 May 2016 9781925321371 Carton Qty: 1
This collection of thought-provoking essays explores what it means to grow old in our
youth-obsessed world.
Improved health care and increased standards of living mean that each generation is living
longer than the last. Rather than heralding this as a success, governments see our ageing
population as an imminent disaster and old age as a medical problem. In response, we are
encouraged to remain active, stay healthy and work longer — in short, to refuse becoming old.
But if living longer is really about staying young, do we risk turning a blind eye to issues facing
the elderly?
Written with intelligence and compassion, Joosten's pieces consider the housing crisis as it
affects older people, the politics of nursing-home care, the realities of dementia, and women's
changing relationship to their bodies as they age. Weaving interviews with research and
personal essay, Joosten undertakes a timely and clear-sighted investigation into what it means
to age in a world focused on the young. Arguing that every one of us has the right to be old
while maintaining integrity, these essays ask us to reconsider our individual and collective
experiences to find meaning and come to terms with growing old.
The Obesity Code: unlocking the secrets of weight loss

$37.00 (B+ 210x138mm Demy 8vo) Scribe Publications 336pp
2 May 2016 9781925321517 Carton Qty: 28
We are in the midst of an obesity epidemic, but despite being inundated with diet advice we are
only getting fatter. We count calories and exercise regularly, yet still the pounds won't budge.
Why?
In this highly readable and provocative book, Dr Jason Fung sets out a groundbreaking new
theory: that obesity is caused by our hormones, rather than a lack of self-control.
He reveals that overproduction of insulin in the body is the root cause of obesity and obesityrelated illnesses, including type 2 diabetes, and offers robust scientific evidence that reversing
insulin resistance is the only way to lose weight in the long term.
It turns out that when we eat is just as important as what we eat, so in addition to his five basic
steps – a set of life-long eating habits that will improve your health and control your insulin
levels – Dr Fung explains how to use intermittent fasting to break the cycle of insulin resistance
and reach a healthy weight – for good.
'Not only full of insights, but also surprisingly funny. Read it to understand why the world
became fat, how to reverse the epidemic – and how to stay thin yourself.' Andreas Eenfeldt,
MD founder of Dietdoctor.com
'Fun zeroes in on why insulin resistance has become so prevalent and offers specific outsidethe-box solutions that have emerged as the key to maximising health.' Jimmy Moore author

Praise for the work of Dr. Robert Melillo:
'Whether ADHD, autism, dyslexia or any number of neurobehavioral disorders affecting
children, it is clear that what finally manifests represents the conspiracy of multiple events. As
such, pursuing a multifaceted therapeutic approach as has been so deftly presented by Dr.
Melillo offers up a welcome and efficacious contrast to the myopia engendered in
pharmaceutical mono therapy.' David Perlmutter, MD, New York Times bestselling author
of Grain Brain: The Surprising Truth About Wheat, Carbs, and Sugar – Your Brain's Silent
Killers
'I have worked closely with Dr. Robert Melillo and the Brain Balance team for many years. I

A Cancer in the Family: Take Control of Your Genetic Inheritance

13 June 2016 9781101982839 Carton Qty: 16
There are 13 million people with cancer in the United States, and it's estimated that about 1.3
million of these cases are hereditary. Yet despite advanced training in cancer genetics and years
of practicing medicine, Dr. Theo Ross was never certain whether the history of cancers in her
family was simple bad luck or a sign that they were carriers of a cancer-causing genetic
mutation. Then she was diagnosed with melanoma, and for someone with a dark complexion,
melanoma made no sense. It turned out there was a genetic factor at work.
Using her own family's story, the latest science of cancer genetics, and her experience as a
practicing physician, Ross shows readers how to spot the patterns of inherited cancer, how to
get tested for cancer-causing genes, and what to do if you have one. With a foreword by
Siddartha Mukherjee, prize winning author of The Emperor of All Maladies, this will be the
first authoritative, go-to for people facing inherited cancer, this book empowers readers to face
their genetic heritage without fear and to make decisions that will keep them and their families
healthy.
'An upbeat message that learning about a cancer mutation in one's family history is not about
coping with bad news; it is about taking control and making choices . . . Highly recommended:
an exceptionally well-organized, authoritative, and readable resource book.' Kirkus Starred
Review
'Packed with information shared by a compassionate and empathetic voice, Ross's tome is a
thoughtful and measured tool for health advocacy that many will find useful.' Publishers

When it comes to parenting, sometimes you have to trust your gut.
With her first book, It's OK Not to Share, Heather Shumaker overturned all the conventional
rules of parenting with her 'renegade rules' for raising competent and compassionate kids. In It's
Ok To Go Up the Slide, Shumaker takes on new hot-button issues with renegade rules such as:





Recess Is A Right
It's Ok Not To Kiss Grandma
Ban Homework in Elementary School
Safety Second
Don't Force Participation
Shumaker also offers broader guidance on how parents can control their own fears and move
from an overscheduled life to one of more free play. Parenting can too often be reduced to
shuttling kids between enrichment classes, but Shumaker challenges parents to reevaluate how
they're spending their precious family time. This book helps parents help their kids develop
important life skills in an age-appropriate way. Most important, parents must model these skills,
whether it's technology use, confronting conflict, or coping emotionally with setbacks.
Sometimes being a good parent means breaking all the rules.
'In her thought-provoking new book, Shumaker challenges some of our assumptions as parents
and teachers. She shows us clearly and candidly what kids truly need. This is a helpful and
inspiring read for anyone concerned with raising the next generation of healthy
children.' Michael Gurian, author of The Wonder of Boys and The Wonder of Girls
'Heather Shumaker, the agent-provocateur of the young childhood set, is back in fine form
with It's OK to Go Up the Slide. By refusing to accept received wisdom without questioning it,
Shumaker makes the reader think about what children really need when it comes to safety,
homework, technology, and interpersonal interactions. She'll provoke you to think afresh in
places where you didn't even think there was a choice.' Lawrence J. Cohen, PhD, author
of Playful Parenting
'The fact that Heather Shumaker stops to re-examine almost all the conventional wisdom about
childhood to figure out which of it is based on anything other than, 'That's just how it's done'
makes her my hero.' Lenore Skenazy, author of Free-Range Kids: How to Raise Safe, SelfReliant Children (Without Going Nuts with Worry)
'Sensible and provocative. This book will turn notions about kids, families, and schools upside
down. From homework to strangers to technology, Shumaker tackles all the big topics facing
the preschool to elementary set. Do your family or classroom a favor and grab this book.' Amy
McCready, author of The 'Me, Me, Me' Epidemic and If I Have to Tell You One More Time

10 Reasons you feel old and get fat: And How You Can Stay
Young, Slim and Happy!
Lipman, Frank
$30.00 (Royal Pb 230x152 Mm) Hay House 408pp
30 May 2016 9781401947910 Carton Qty: 1
Like most people in our society, you might see the years from the age 30 onward as a slow,
painful decline marked by the following outcomes: weight gain, fatigue, mysterious aches and
pains, illnesses, memory issues, low libido, and sadness and anxiety. Contrary to popular belief,
the real obstacle for most of us isn't age—it's loss of function. Our bodies are perfectly capable
of remaining slim and vigorous, and our brains can absolutely stay clear and sharp—if we give
them what they need.
The problem is that most of us don't do that. We don't realize what our bodies need, so we eat
the wrong foods, skimp on sleep, and deprive our bodies of the movement they crave.
Overwhelmed by the stresses and the pressures of our lives, we take a host of prescriptions,
never realizing how they might be disrupting our body's innate ability to heal. Most insidious of
all, many of us lack the personal support and the community that we need to feel fully alive.
Instead, we buy into the myth that age means decline.
A pioneer and internationally recognized expert in integrative and functional medicine, Dr.
Frank Lipman proves that you don't have to feel this way. You have a choice! In his latest book,
Dr. Lipman breaks through the common myths and misconceptions surrounding aging and
dieting, and he zeroes in on what you need to do in order to feel your very best. His two-week
Revitalize Program brings together key information regarding insulin resistance and
carbohydrate intolerance, gut and hormonal imbalances, sleep disorders, medications and
supplements, and community support. The Revitalize Program features delicious recipes, handy
shopping lists and meal plans, simple exercises, and powerful stress busters to support you
along the way. Dr. Lipman also offers a lifelong Maintenance Program, so that after two lifechanging weeks, you can continue on your path toward ultimate health and wellness! In just
two weeks—only 14 days—you can feel so much better than you ever imagined!

intelligently to the confusing world around us.' Leonard Mlodinow, The New York Times

The Art of Language Invention: From Horse-Lords to Dark Elves,

$32.00 (B+ 210x138mm Demy 8vo) Penguin 304pp
4 April 2016 9780143126461 Carton Qty: 25
From master language creator David J. Peterson comes a creative guide to language
construction for sci-fi and fantasy fans, writers, game creators, and language lovers. Peterson
offers a captivating overview of language creation, covering its history from Tolkien's creations
and Klingon to today's thriving global community of conlangers. He provides the essential tools
necessary for inventing and evolving new languages, using examples from a variety of
languages including his own creations, punctuated with references to everything from Star
Wars to Michael Jackson. Along the way, behind-the-scenes stories lift the curtain on how he
built languages like Dothraki for HBO's Game of Thrones and Shiväisith for Marvel's Thor:
The Dark World, and an included phrasebook will start fans speaking Peterson's constructed
languages. The Art of Language Invention is an inside look at a fascinating culture and an
engaging entry into a flourishing art form—and it might be the most fun you'll ever have with
linguistics.
'David Peterson's language work transformed our show, investing it with a sense of reality and
history that would have been impossible without him. There's nothing like the real thing, and
David Peterson is it. This fascinating book will not only illuminate the task of language
creation–it will make you look at your own language in a whole new way.' David Benioff and
D.B. Weiss, co-creators of HBO's Game of Thrones
'George R. R. Martin created Drogo, and David Benioff and Dan Weiss believed in me, but
David Peterson gave me life.' Jason Momoa
'David J. Peterson's The Art of Language Invention accomplishes a minor miracle in taking a
potentially arcane discipline and infusing it with life, humor and passion. It makes a
compelling and entertaining case for language creation as visual and aural poetry. I cherish
words, I love books about words and for me this is the best book about language since Stephen
Fry's The Ode Less Traveled. And, best of all, there's a phrasebook!' Kevin Murphy, cocreator and showrunner of Syfy's Defiance
'If you want to know how someone makes up a language from the ground up, you'll find out
how in this book—and the glory of it is that along the way you'll get the handiest introduction
now in existence to what linguistics is. In fact, read this even if you DON'T feel like making up
a language!' John McWhorter, author of The Language Hoax
'Accessible, entertaining, and thorough, Peterson has created an invaluable resource for authors,
dedicated fans, and casual enthusiasts. This is the book I wish I'd had when I started
writing.' Leigh Bardugo, New York Times bestselling author of Shadow and Bone
'This book not only lucidly ushers language invention into its own as an art form, it's also an
excellent introduction to linguistics.' Arika Okrent, author of In the Land of Invented

On road trips spanning four seasons, wending along rural highways, Paul Theroux travels to
America's Deep South to uncover the truth behind the myths, the fictions and the lies. He visits
gun shows and small-town churches, labourers in Arkansas, and parts of Mississippi where they
still call the farm up the road 'the plantation'. He talks to mayors and social workers, writers and
reverends, the working poor and farming families: the unsung heroes of the South, from those
who never left to those who returned home to rebuild a place they could never live without.
'Wonderful writing. This is his best work of non-fiction. If acted upon, it may prove to be his
most important.' Sunday Herald
'Engrossing. Reminds us that despite poverty everyone has a story to tell and it's the writer's job
to bear such testimony.' Financial Times
'The preeminent American travel writer of the last half-century. Deep South works because
Theroux is a master of his craft, but also because he has just the right amount of road-weary
wisdom to counter centuries of mythmaking. He does all this with clarity and
charm.' Washington Post

When British television chef and restaurateur Rick Stein was told he could choose to go
anywhere in the world to write a travel article for English newspaper the Daily Mail, he chose
Fleurs Place in Moeraki, New Zealand.
The restaurant, run by the inimitable Fleur Sullivan, was 'Just one of those places that keeps
cropping up in conversations' whenever there was a gathering of 'foodies', he said. Set in the
sleepy little fishing village of Moeraki on the Otago coast, Fleurs Place has an unbeatable
setting. There's water on three sides, fishing boats bobbing in the harbour, the famous Moeraki
boulders across the bay and, to the north, the open sea. Fleur uses only the freshest of local
ingredients - indeed, fishing boats land their catches right into her restaurant.
This book combines recipes supplied by Fleur herself with photographs of the spectacular
scenery of coastal Otago and the Moeraki area. Side-bar text includes information on Fleur, the
restaurant, local suppliers and the Moeraki area.

The Australian cartoonist Stanley Cross once said: 'To create a joke, you first have to have a
good laugh and then think backwards.' He must have been talking about Australians when he
said this.
This highly dangerous book could permanently damage trans-Tasman relations, but let's face it,
who really cares? A healthy contempt is the main feature of the New Zealand-Australia
relationship, and no one seriously wants that to change.

Book 1 in Juliet Jacka's addictive new Frankie Potts series for readers ages 7–10.
Meet Frankie Potts, the village of Tring's number one girl detective. She has flaming red hair, a
questioning mind and an addiction to gobstoppers. And she is REALLY good at solving
mysteries.
When Frankie is adopted by a dog at the window of her favourite sweetshop, there's detecting
to be done.
The dog, Sparkplug, is adorable. Even Frankie's formidable Grandma M goes all soft and goopy
in his presence. Sparkplug can ride a skateboard like a pro, high-five, dance on his hind legs
and sniff out a mystery two houses away. He's the ideal dog for a detective. Sparkplug wants to
stay with Frankie and Frankie would dearly love to keep him — but where is he from?
There are other mysteries to solve, and they all seem to be linked: trails of ants; Grandma M's
odd behaviour; her secret tattoo . . . What? When and WHY did cardy-wearing Grandma get a
tattoo?
A circus has just arrived in the village — it seems a good place to start looking for clues. But
first, Frankie will have to get Sparkplug past Tring Dog Control and her archenemy, Ralph
Peter-McGee.

to contend with a new boy from Borneo, whose tales are taller and wilder than his wild black
hair; the meanest school office lady in Tring; archenemy Ralph Peter-McGee's equally brutish
ginger tomcat; and helping her Grandma M train a troupe of greyhounds.
Meanwhile, Tring is on high alert — a burglar is on the loose. Random pink items, most
notably a bikini belonging to Frankie's teacher, are disappearing from houses all over the
village. An exhibition of bejewelled items is just about to open, with a pink, diamond-encrusted
bikini as its showpiece. The temptation will be too great for any self-respecting burglar to stay
away.
And self-respecting solver of mysteries Frankie is determined to catch the burglar in the act . . .
but in her efforts to tidy up her mystery list single-handed, is Frankie ignoring some very
important clues?

An exceptionally moving story of triumph against all odds, set during World War Two.
Nine-year-old Ada has never left her one-room flat. Her mother is too humiliated by Ada's
twisted foot to let her outside. So when her little brother Jamie is shipped out of London to
escape the war, Ada doesn't waste a minute—she sneaks out to join him.
So begins a new adventure for Ada, and for Miss Susan Smith, the woman who is forced to take
in the two children. As Ada teaches herself to ride a pony, learns to read, and watches for
German spies, she begins to trust Susan—and Susan begins to love Ada and Jamie. But in the
end, will their bond be enough to hold them together through wartime? Or will Ada and her
brother fall back into the cruel hands of their mother?
This masterful work of historical fiction is equal parts adventure and a moving tale of family
and identity—a classic in the making.
Praise for The War that Saved My Life:
'Achingly lovely...Nuanced and emotionally acute, this vivid tale from the wartime home front
will have readers ages 10-14 wincing at Ada's stumbles and rejoicing to the point of tears in her
victories.' Wall Street Journal
'Ada's voice is brisk and honest; her dawning realizations are made all the more poignant for
their simplicity... Things come to an explosive head, metaphorically and literally. Ignorance and
abuse are brought to light, as are the healing powers of care, respect and love. Set against a
backdrop of war and sacrifice, Ada's personal fight for freedom and ultimate triumph are cause
for celebration.' Kirkus, starred review
'Proving that her courage and compassion carry far more power than her disability, Ada earns
self-respect, emerges a hero, and learns the meaning of home.' Publishers Weekly, starred

'I had sent my heroine straight down a rabbit-hole . . . without the least idea what was to happen
afterwards,' wrote Charles Dodgson, describing how Alice was conjured up one 'golden
afternoon' in 1862 to entertain his child-friend Alice Liddell. His dream worlds of nonsensical
Wonderland and the back-to-front Looking-Glass kingdom depict order turned upside-down: a
baby turns into a pig, time is abandoned at a disordered tea-party and a chaotic game of chess
makes a seven-year-old girl a Queen. But amongst the anarchic humour and sparkling word
play, puzzles, paradoxes and riddles, are poignant moments of elegiac nostalgia for lost
childhood. Startlingly original and experimental, the Alice books provide readers with a double
window on both child and adult worlds.
This is the most comprehensively annotated edition available and includes the manuscript
version of Alice's Adventures Underground and Carroll's essay '"Alice" on the Stage' written for
the under Ground Theatre in 1887.

That's what Katherine Bateson's father told her, and that's what she's trying to do: when her
father goes off to the war, when her mother sends Kat and her brother and sister away from
London to escape the incessant bombing, even when the children arrive at Rookskill Castle, an
ancient, crumbling manor on the misty Scottish highlands.
But it's hard to keep calm in the strange castle that seems haunted by ghosts or worse. What's
making those terrifying screeches and groans at night? Why do the castle's walls seem to have
a mind of their own? And why do people seem to mysteriously appear and disappear?
Kat believes she knows the answer: Lady Eleanor, who rules Rookskill Castle, is harboring a
Nazi spy. But when her classmates begin to vanish, one by one, Kat must uncover the truth
about what the castle actually harbors—and who Lady Eleanor really is—before it's too late.
