Beware the novelist . . . intimate and indiscreet . . . pompous, prophetic airs . . . here is the
fact of fiction . . . an American tale where, naturally, evil conquers good, and none live
happily ever after, for the complicated pangs of the empty experiences of flesh-and-blood
human figures are the reason why nothing can ever be enough. To read a book is to let a
root sink down. List of the lost is the reality of what is true battling against what is
permitted to be true.' Morrissey
Penguin Books is delighted to announce the forthcoming publication of List of the Lost,
Morrissey's extraordinary novel, on 24 September. High-octane, ferociously lyrical, List of
the Lost shows a side of Morrissey never seen before.

'Stars, hide your fires, Let not light see my black and deep desires'
Promised a golden future as ruler of Scotland by supernatural forces, Macbeth, spurred on
by his wife, murders the king to ensure his ambitions come true. But he soon learns the
meaning of terror - killing once, he must kill again and again, while the dead return to haunt
him. A blood-soaked drama of murder, madness and the uncanny, Macbeth is an anatomy
of fear and a bleak portrayal of what some will do to achieve their desires.

Featuring a new foreword by Jason Matthews
With the Cold War at its height, the capture and trial of Colonel Abel, the Soviets' most
capable and effective spy, revealed the chilling depths of the KGB's penetration of the
West.
But when an American U-2 spy plane was shot down over Russia and its CIA pilot, Gary
Powers, captured, both men's fates hung in the balance.
With East and West staring each other down across the Iron Curtain the stakes couldn't
have been higher. And at the heart of it all, from Abel's arrest to his exchange with Powers
on Berlin's infamous 'Bridge of Spies', was James B. Donovan.
Strangers on the Bridge is the only inside account of the greatest spy story of the era and a
real-life espionage classic.

At the start of it all, Jonathan Pine is merely the night manager at a luxury hotel. But when
a single attempt to pass on information to the British authorities - about an international
businessman at the hotel with suspicious dealings - backfires terribly, and people close to
Pine begin to die, he commits himself to a battle against powerful forces he cannot begin
to imagine.
In a chilling tale of corrupt intelligence agencies, billion-dollar price tags and the truth of
the brutal arms trade, John le Carre creates a claustrophobic world in which no one can be
trusted.

Juan Cabrillo and his motley crew aboard the clandestine spy ship Oregon have made a
very comfortable and very dangerous living from working for high-powered Western
interests. But their newest clients have come from the east-the Far East-to ask for Cabrillo's
special brand of assistance.
They are a consortium of Japanese shipping magnates, and their fortunes are being
threatened by brutal pirates trawling the waters of Southeast Asia. Normally, such attacks
on the high seas are limited to smaller ships and foreign-owned yachts-easy targets on the
open ocean. Now, however, giant commercial freighters are disappearing. Cabrillo suspects
that the pirates have joined forces to take down the bigger ships. But when
the Oregon confronts the enemy, he learns that the pirates' predations hide a deadly
international conspiracy-a scheme of death and slavery that Juan Cabrillo is going to blow
out of the water . . .

Failed Shakespearean actor and would-be private investigator Will Power's unique
detective skills are, once again, in demand. The Japanese army is rampaging through the
islands of the South Pacific, and Australia's front line of defence is a top-secret, crack
division of men embedded deep in the tropical wilderness of northern Australia. But
something is threatening their vital, covert mission: one of this elite corps is a murderer,
preying on his comrades, one by one.
With a case too sensitive to be trusted to the police, military intelligence turn to the one
man whose singular combination of abilities make him capable of infiltrating the
clandestine military operation and rooting out the killer.
William Power goes into deep cover, posing as a cheap, vaudeville entertainer on tour to
relieve the troops. Enlisting the help of his brother, whose latent skills for female
impersonation rise to the occasion, Will soon finds himself in the far-northern outback
trying to raise the morale of a group of desperate young soldiers lying in wait for the arrival
of Tojo's army — knowing all the while that one of them is the killer.

It's 1942, and war is raging in Europe and in the Pacific. The Japanese army is on
Australia's doorstep, and the small coastal Queensland town of Maryborough is on full war
footing. What they are not prepared for is the arrival in the town of a troupe of incompetent
actors whose unjustifiably self-confident leader, William Power, is determined to bring his
daring production of Titus Andronicus to the barbarians of rural Australia.
Unfortunately for the Power Players, the only gift William Power has is a capacity for
being in the wrong place at the wrong time. When a young woman goes missing and is
found floating dead in the town's water supply, Power becomes the prime suspect in her
murder. With every misplaced step he takes, he becomes more and more embroiled in a
series of crimes which baffle the police and horrify the locals. Having no confidence in the
constabulary, Power decides that his only option is to solve the crimes himself.
His acting skills are not good; his detection skills are worse. As he stumbles towards a
solution and as his injuries mount up, he never wavers in his belief that he alone can bring
the killer to justice. But, with every day that passes, he tightens the noose around his own
neck until, on the night of a violent storm, everything changes. And not for the better.

The fatally over-confident hero of Good Murder returns to pit his meagre detective skills
against military intelligence, belligerent in-laws, a town full of G.I.s, and a creepy
conspiracy to bring on an Australian sectarian nightmare.
Failed Shakespearean actor and would-be private detective William Power returns to
Melbourne in disgrace after his disastrous brush with theatre and murder in Maryborough.
Bloodied, broken, but somehow unbowed, he arrives in a town struggling under war
rationing and full of cocky American soldiers, and lands squarely in the bosom of his
childhood home in Carlton — a home now dominated by his sister-in-law, the odious
Darlene. But even Will's contempt is tempered when, in the early hours of the morning,
Darlene is kidnapped, and Will finds his mother's kitchen splattered with blood and
scattered with broken crockery.
Needing to escape the maternal home and the growing police investigation, Power rents a
room in the spacious, Parkville home of wealthy, charismatic, and obsessively neat Paul
Clutterbuck and is introduced to his strange society of bohemians, black marketeers, and
neanderthal henchmen. Will Power is fascinated but, before he can begin to enjoy his new
home, a savage murder is discovered. Just when modesty and good sense threaten to
intervene, Will realises that only he can solve the murder and the mystery of his kidnapped
sister-in-law, and save the nation from impending catastrophe.
A Thing of Blood is a brilliant, wry sequel which perfectly recreates the tension and fear of
wartime Australia.

The Ballard of Sir Benfro Book Four
The war across the Twin Kingdoms rages on.
Captured by the travelling circus, Sir Benfro is unable to shake a control more powerful
than Magog's malign influence. Queen Beulah has killed one sister and ordered the
assassination of another. The Inquisitor Melyn journeys though the northlands of
Llanwennog in a merciless bid to overthrow her bitter opponent, King Ballah. Now in
possession of Brynceri's ring, Melyn's power seems indestructible. Nothing can stop the
invasion.
But one voice can be heard in the darkness. Errol Ramsbottom, left for dead, follows the
trail of his friend's captors. For only Benfro holds the key to Errol's beloved Martha's
whereabouts. And when the ancient spell that split Gwlad begins to unravel, Benfro and
Errol find that it may be safer to travel to Gog's terrifying world than remain in their own.
Both sides are set on a path of destruction. Unlikely alliances form. As dragon is pitted
against dragon, king against queen, man against man, what will happen when the barrier
between the two worlds finally falls?

L. Frank Baum's The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus was first published in 1902, two
years after hisWonderful Wizard of Oz. Drawing on the attributes of Santa Claus from
Clement Moore's 1822 poem 'A Visit from St. Nicholas' ('The Night Before Christmas'),
Baum chronicles Santa's life from his childhood in an enchanted forest—the same forest
that is the source of all magic in the land of Oz—to his destiny of sharing gifts and
spreading love to his fellow man. Along the way we witness him making his first toys,
learn the origins of the Christmas tree and Christmas stockings, and discover the stories
behind many Christmas secrets, like why Santa slides down chimneys, how he picks his
reindeer, and how he delivers all his toys in one night. Later adapted into multiple animated
films, and published here with the original illustrations from the first edition, The Life and
Adventures of Santa Claus evinces the charm, warmth, and fantasy that made L. Frank
Baum's Oz stories American classics.
Penguin Christmas Classics
Give the gift of literature this Christmas.
Penguin Christmas Classics honor the power of literature to keep on giving through the
ages. The six volumes in the series are not only our most beloved Christmas tales, they also
have given us much of what we love about the holiday itself. A Christmas Carol revived in
Victorian England such Christmas hallmarks as the Christmas tree, holiday cards, and
caroling. The Yuletide yarns of Anthony Trollope popularized throughout the British
Empire and around the world the trappings of Christmas in London. The Life and
Adventures of Santa Clauscreated the origin story for the presiding spirit of Christmas as
we know it. The holiday tales of Louisa May Alcott shaped the ideal of an American
Christmas. The Night Before Christmas brought forth some of our earliest Christmas
traditions as passed down through folk tales. And The Nutcracker inspired the most famous
ballet in history, one seen by millions in the twilight of every year.
Beautifully designed—with foil-stamped jackets, decorative endpapers, and nameplates for
personalization—and printed in a small trim size that makes them perfect stocking stuffers,
Penguin Christmas Classics embody the spirit of giving that is at the heart of our most
time-honored stories about the holiday.

Beautiful, clever, rich—and single—Emma Woodhouse is perfectly content with her life
and sees no need for either love or marriage. Nothing, however, delights her more than
interfering in the romantic lives of others. But when she ignores the warnings of her good
friend Mr. Knightley and attempts to arrange a suitable match for her protégée, Harriet
Smith, her carefully laid plans soon unravel and have consequences that she never
expected. With its imperfect but charming heroine and its witty and subtle exploration of
relationships, Emma is often seen as Jane Austen's most flawless work.
This Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition celebrates two hundred years of Austen's beloved
novel. With a beautiful cover designed by illustrator Dadu Shin and comprehensive notes
drawing specially from the Jane Austen Collection at Goucher College, this is an edition to
be treasured by students and collectors alike.

Though endlessly reinterpreted, reinvented, and imitated, the Sherlock Holmes stories have
never been surpassed. Sporting his signature billowing coat and pipe in hand, the genius
investigator Holmes captivates readers with his alluring melancholy and superhuman
intuition, while his partner, Dr. Watson, remains ever the perfect foil, a classic Victorian
gentleman with brilliant intellect. Collected here are all four Holmes novels—A Study in
Scarlet, The Sign of Four, The Hound of the Baskervilles, and The Valley of Fear—tracing
the origins of the pair up through showdowns with their greatest archenemies, including the
infamous Professor Moriarty. Set in the seductive shadow world of Victorian London, the
stories of Holmes and Watson live on, as immediate and original in our time as in their
own.

Why are books so very powerful?
What do the books we've read over our lives - our own personal libraries - make of us?
What does the unravelling of our tradition of public libraries, so hard-won but now in
jeopardy, say about us?
The stories in Ali Smith's new collection are about what we do with books and what they
do with us: how they travel with us; how they shock us, change us, challenge us, banish
time while making us older, wiser and ageless all at once; how they remind us to pay
attention to the world we make.

Freeman, John

18 November 2015 9780143128304
In a city where the top one percent earns more than a half-million dollars per year while
twenty-five thousand children are homeless, public discourse about our entrenched and
worsening wealth gap has never been more sorely needed. This remarkable anthology is the
literary world's response, with leading lights including Zadie Smith, Junot Díaz, and Lydia
Davis bearing witness to the experience of ordinary New Yorkers in extraordinarily
unequal circumstances. Through fiction and reportage, these writers convey the indignities
and heartbreak, the callousness and solidarities, of living side by side with people of starkly
different means. They shed light on the subterranean lives of homeless people who must
find a bed in the city's tunnels; the stresses that gentrification can bring to neighbors in a
Brooklyn apartment block; the shenanigans of seriously alienated night-shift paralegals; the
trials of a housing defendant standing up for tenants' rights; and the humanity that survives
in the midst of a deeply divided city. Tales of Two Cities is a brilliant, moving, and
ultimately galvanizing clarion call for a city—and a nation—in crisis.

'Hark, villains, I will grind your bones to dust, And with your blood and it I'll make a paste'
An embittered Roman general returns from war, having captured the Queen of the Goths
and her three sons. Sacrificing the eldest, in memory of his own sons killed in battle, he
provokes the queen's unending hatred. And when she gains power by her marriage to the
new emperor of Rome, she quickly begins to plot a murderous revenge of barely
conceivable cruelty, in Shakespeare's first and most savagely bloody tragedy.

When I began writing this book, I went home to find what my mum might have kept of my
stuff. What I found was that she hadn't kept some of it. She had kept all of it - every bus
ticket, postcard, school report - from the moment I was born to the moment I finally had the
confidence to turn round and say 'why is our house full of this shit?'
Sadly, a recycling 'incident' destroyed the bulk of this archive. This has meant two things:
firstly, Dear Reader, you will never get to see countless drawings of wizards, read a poem
about corn on the cob, or marvel at the kilos of brown flowers I so lovingly pressed as a
child. Secondly, it's left me with no choice but to actually writethis thing myself.
This, my first ever book, will answer questions such as 'Is Mary Berry real?', 'Is it true you
wear a surgical truss?' 'Does orchestral conducting simply involve waving your arms
around?' and 'is a non-spherically symmetric gravitational pull from outside the observable
Universe responsible for some of the observed motion of large objects such as galactic
clusters in the universe?

'There was no possibility of taking a walk that day . . .'
With these words Charlotte Brontë began Jane Eyre and changed English literature
irrevocably.
Now, on the 200th anniversary of Charlotte's birth, Claire Harman's landmark biography
provides a bold new view of one of Britain's best loved writers, revealing that her life
possessed all the drama and tragedy of a Gothic tale.
Like her heroine Jane, Charlotte was raised motherless on remote Yorkshire moors and sent
to a brutal boarding school. As she grew up, her five beloved siblings sickened and died
until, at the end of her short life, she was the only surviving child of the Brontë clan.
Heartbreakingly, she was also haunted by a great unrequited love - one that inspired her
most powerful and moving novels.??
Harman shows how the new kinds of heroines Charlotte created - fiercely intelligent
women blazing with hidden passions - came out of her own frustrations and experiences.
She also reveals what it was like to be part of this astonishingly creative family, whose
early works were produced in total secrecy. Finally, we learn the truth behind Charlotte's
early death - a double tragedy as it should have been a joyous new chapter in her life.
Charlotte Brontë was a woman years ahead of her time: she changed the landscape of
British culture forever. But beyond her fame as an author, she should be remembered as
someone who lived an extraordinarily rich and adventurous inner life, experiencing the
furthest extremes of human emotion.

New York is a walker's city. You can walk for hours. The streets slip by. There is so much
to look at, so much to take in. I walk a lot. Especially when I am not writing . . .
Lily Brett's love affair with New York began as an outsider in her late teens when she was
posted on assignment there as a young Australian rock journalist. In her early forties she
returned, together with her soul mate and three children, to start a new life, and for the best
part of three decades she has called New York home.
This witty, candid and moving collection of short pieces celebrates the city that's now part
of her heartbeat. A compulsive walker, Brett takes us to her favourite places and introduces
us to the characters of the city that has nurtured, perplexed and inspired her. She brings to
life the delights of Chinatown, the majesty of Grand Central Station, the lure of spandex
and sequins in the Garment District, and the peculiarity of canine couture. And she muses
on the miracle of love in the Lodz Ghetto, the possibility of loneliness amidst skyscrapers,
and the joy and redemption in a child's curiosity.
Full of wisdom, humour and grace, Only in New York is a human portrait of a city much
loved – and of a woman in step with herself.
'Pithy, entertaining and personal . . . the natural, light quality of Brett's writing is a pleasure
akin to a conversation with a friend . . . Brett leavens her observations with dry
humour.' Weekend Australian
'New York is a city of character and characters and anyone thinking of visiting should use
this as a guide to its flavour - and also as an insight into where to eat.' Herald Sun
'Charm[ing] . . . Her snippets are short and sharp as they portray the essence of New
York.' West Australian
'A charming and unique narrative on the city. [Brett] achieves a perfect combination of wit
and naivety, creating a memoir that acknowledges the existence of good and bad
experiences, awkward quirks and love affairs with buildings . . . Brett's words have the
ability to transport you to the city from the comfort of your own back yard: you may even
find it unnecessary to fly to New York after reading [it]. Readings
The Ottoman Endgame: War, Revolution and the Making of the

McMeekin, Sean
$75.00 (Royal H/B 230x152mm) Allen Lane 576pp
18 November 2015 9781846147050
The Ottoman Endgame is the first, and definitive, single-volume history of the Ottoman
empire's agonising war for survival. Beginning with Italy's invasion of Ottoman Tripoli in
September 1911, the Empire was in a permanent state of emergency, with hardly a frontier
not under direct threat. Assailed by enemies on all sides, the Empire-which had for
generations been assumed to be a rotten shell-proved to be strikingly resilient, beating off
major attacks at Gallipoli and in Mesopotamia before finally being brought down in the
general ruin of the Central Powers in 1918.
As the Europeans planned to partition all its lands between them and with even Istanbul
seemingly helpless in the face of the triumphant Entente, an absolutely unexpected entity
emerged: modern Turkey. Under the startling genius of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, a
powerful new state emerged from the Empire's fragments.
This is the first time an author has woven the entire epic together from start to finish - and it
will cause many readers to fundamentally re-evaluate their understanding of the
conflict. The consequences, well into the 21st century, could not have been more
momentous - with countries as various as Serbia, Greece, Libya, Armenia, Iraq and Syria
still living with them.

to life. Mesmerising in its extraordinary storytelling, and beautifully illustrated, The Face of
Britain will change the way we see our past - and ourselves.

Kershaw, Ian
$75.00 (Royal H/B 230x152mm) Allen Lane 592pp
18 November 2015 9780713990898
The first of two volumes, To Hell and Back is a monumental new history of modern Europe
over a century, and one of Ian Kershaw's greatest achievements.
In the summer of 1914 most of Europe plunged into a war so catastrophic that it took
generations to recover from. The disaster terrified its survivors, shocked that a civilization
they had blandly assumed to be a model for the rest of the world had collapsed into
savagery. In 1939 Europeans would initiate a second conflict that managed to be even
worse - a war in which the killing of civilians was central, and in whose aftermath the
violence continued, shaping the divided continent that emerged.
Ian Kershaw tells this story with humanity, flair and originality. He gives a compelling
narrative of events, but he also wrestles with the most difficult issues that the events raise with what it meant for the Europeans who initiated and lived through such fearful times and what this means for us.

For generations, marketers, industrialists and politicians have tried to limit the consumer's
choice by telling them what they should buy, use and want.
In We Are All Weird, Seth Godin throws conformity's rules out the window and explains
that marketers must offer people more choices and interests, giving them more authority to
operate in ways that reflect their own unique values. By enabling choice we allow people to
survive and thrive.
Noted: A Journal to Explore How We Shape, Create, and

Adam Turnbull started documenting his creative ideas on any piece of paper that inspired
him: a photograph, a postcard, an envelope . . . When he began binding these pieces in
small books, he discovered that the 'canvas' he originally used helped shape more concepts.
And so Noted came to life: an interactive journal that features an array of images of things
on which to record ideas, from letterhead or a guest check to the palm of the hand, a
napkin, or a matchbook.
Along with striking images of common items, Noted encourages interaction with subtle,
open-ended, and random prompts, facts, and quotes. The results will be as unique as your
own experiences . . . A blank matchbook may become the canvas for a restaurant logo. A
brick wall could elicit a rendering of street art, a piece of fiction about the Berlin Wall, or a
political message for the masses.
Draw, write, doodle, collage . . . Noted encourages you to use the medium to express
yourself in a way that is distinctly yours.

of pop culture history, and a crucial insight into the struggle for women's rights in the
twentieth century and the troubled place of feminism today.
Sound Man: A Life Recording Hits with The Rolling Stones, The
Who, Led Zeppelin, the Eagles , Eric Clapton, the Faces...
Johns, Glyn
$32.00 (Misc P/B) Plume 336pp
18 November 2015 9780147516572
Born just outside London in 1942, Glyn Johns was sixteen years old at the dawn of rock
and roll. His big break as a producer came on the Steve Miller Band's debut
album, Children of the Future, and he went on to engineer or produce iconic albums for the
best in the business: Abbey Road with the Beatles, Led Zeppelin's and the Eagles'
debuts, Who's Next by the Who, and many others. Even more impressive, Johns was
perhaps the only person on a given day in the studio who was entirely sober, and so he is
one of the most reliable and clear-eyed insiders to tell these stories today.
In this entertaining and observant memoir, Johns takes us on a tour of his world during the
heady years of the sixties, with beguiling stories that will delight music fans the world over:
he remembers helping to get the Steve Miller Band released from jail shortly after their
arrival in London, he recalls his impressions of John and Yoko during the Let It
Be sessions, and he recounts running into Bob Dylan at JFK and being asked to work on a
collaborative album with him, the Stones, and the Beatles, which never came to pass. Johns
was there during some of the most iconic moments in rock history, including the Stones'
first European tour, Jimi Hendrix's appearance at Albert Hall in London, and the Beatles'
final performance on the roof of their Savile Row recording studio.
Johns's career has been long and prolific, and he's still at it—over the last two decades he
has worked with Crosby, Stills & Nash; Emmylou Harris; Linda Ronstadt; Band of Horses;
and, most recently, Ryan Adams. Sound Man provides a firsthand glimpse into the art of
making music and reveals how the industry—like musicians themselves—has changed
since those freewheeling first years of rock and roll.
'Glyn Johns was there. He was there at some of the most important recording sessions in
Rock and Roll. Reading his book, you are standing beside him as he sets up the studio in
readiness for the arrival of groups like Led Zeppelin, The Beatles and The Rolling Stones.
For me it is a fantastic romp through the pages of Rock and Roll history.' Sir Paul
McCartney
'Glyn Johns has been a very important person in my recording life (and also his brother
Andy). Glyn was the first recording engineer who helped me to understand recording and
through that he was very supportive in introducing me to a lot of sessions with important
people such as Ben Sidren, Leon Russell, Ronnie Lane, Pete Townshend and Howling
Wolf. This together, of course, with many of the great recordings he did with us. He is one
of the best.' Charlie Watts
'Sound Man will make readers aware of the many sides of Glyn Johns, a giant of a man and
one of my best friends from the moment we met in 1963 to present day. Apart from his
genius behind the faders and success as the producer of myriad hits, his humor comes
through here, together with his unfailing desire to do the very best work he could in the
face of some frighteningly egotistical artists.' Bill Wyman
'If you remember the sixties then you probably weren't there, unless of course your name is
Glyn Johns. Sound Man is an intimate, humorous journey through the corridors of the
music industry, as told by one of the greatest record producers of all time. I'm proud to be
mentioned here and there, and to have worked with Johns on so many memorable
occasions. A great read!' Eric Clapton
'Glyn Johns was the most sought after sound engineer at the time when the recording
industry was just exploding in the early 60s in London. He soon became the first choice of
the artists who wrote their own songs and wanted a producer who could create for them a
great sound for their recordings. He was always a strong and direct influence on the talent
he worked with, and his records sounded brilliant! He soon became one of the very few
truly great record producers and remained so over the last fifty years. Reading Sound
Manreminded me of just how many incredible people he worked with and how many great
iconic records he made. It's fantastic reading.' Chris Blackwell, founder of Island
Records
'Sound Man opens with a declaration: A record producer has to have an opinion and the ego
to express it more convincingly than anyone else. So Glyn Johns has stood his ground with
a few big-headed rock stars? I must be the exception. I've only had transcendental moments
in the studio with Johns. Returning to the control room after a studio take I often felt like
running: the joy of hearing what Johns had created out of the glue-and-string that was The
Who was like a drug. He is an artist himself of supreme talent and experience.' Pete
Townshend
'Sound Man is filled with remarkable stories that only Johns can tell: vouching for the Steve
Miller band in London after a hash-filled fruitcake was found in their luggage; nervously
going through customs with the Rolling Stones knowing Brian Jones was carrying Mick
Jagger's stash . . . the detail with which he recounts his life's work is incredible.' Los

Swooning: A Classical Music Guide to Life, Love, Lust and
Other Follies
Lawrence, Christopher
$35.00 (B+ 210x138mm Demy 8vo) Nero 256pp
18 November 2015 9781863957502
The history of classical music is littered with murder, sado-masochism, adultery, bigamy,
fraud, riches, poverty, nervous breakdowns, bizarre habits, gluttony and terrible, terrible
toilet humour (Mozart was the prime exponent of the latter). Classical music – nice? Not at
all. It's the most immediate expression of mental and emotional extremes: often deceptive,
sometimes dangerous and frequently a discomforting revelation.
Just as the unsuspecting listener makes the connections between classical music and certain
states of mind, so Swooning documents the all too human flaws in the lives of the great
composers by loosely following the sequence of emotions as experienced in a love affair –
one that doesn't work out, of course.
In this fully revised and updated 14th anniversary edition, Christopher Lawrence leads us
through the listening experience, from anger and Beethoven to sadness and Tchaikovsky,
triumph and Wagner and freedom and Mozart – it's all here in this whimsical guide to the
conduct of a romance, with some handy hints on how to make it more, well, harmonious.

Mietta's Italian Family Recipes

9 November 2015 9781863957885
'Who were the subtle Europeans who showed a raw young Australia how to eat well and
enjoy the food the land produced? How did they perform that exuberant labour of kitchen
love, the Italians who began arriving in Melbourne three or four generations ago? Mietta's
Italian Family Recipes interweaves a loving story of Mietta's own family and friends with a
clear and practical exposition of all the good Italian sense she learned in the kitchen at
home – the secrets Mietta drew on as one of Australia's most celebrated restaurateurs. The
social history is fascinating, the kitchen wisdom beyond praise, and Mietta's family snaps
are a delight.' PETER ROBB
Mietta's Italian Family Recipes presents over 185 recipes, covering antipasto, soups,
risotto, pasta, fish, meat, pizza and desserts. Together they demonstrate the ways in which
original Italian recipes can be re-interpreted to suit modern Australian life, ingredients and
equipment. This new edition includes forewords by Mietta's sister, Patricia O'Donnell, and
by her partner, Tony Knox, as well as a publisher's note and a selection of new
photographs.
'I remember the Sunday nights with jazz and the memorable singing of Peaches la Crème,
and the energy that Tony and Mietta displayed in their dancing. The hospitality at such
evenings was the stuff of legend.' STEPHANIE ALEXANDER
'In the early eighties Mietta's was the home of good food and culture. There you could
spend hours meeting people, arguing, listening to writers or music, eating and drinking. For
Mietta and her partner, Tony Knox, ideas were central, and together we created the event
'Readings at Mietta's', inviting writers to read and talk about their works. Mietta treated
them like very special guests; for the writers it was a unique and affirming experience. I
have many wonderful memories of Mietta, and Mietta's Family Recipes is a wonderful
reflection of her ideas and philosophies about food and life.' MARK RUBBO
'Mietta gave me the reassurance to trust my instincts, and more importantly the confidence
to believe in my culinary ideas and claim them as my own.' ANDREW McCONNELL
'When you went to Mietta's it was like being on a beautiful ship steered by Mietta. With a
secret hand signal or a raised eyebrow she attended to every detail, creating elegance I have
rarely experienced.' ANNA FUNDER

Stuffocation: Living More With Less
Wallman, James
$28.00 (B Fmt 198x129 Mm / /lge Crown 8vo) Penguin Press 368pp
18 November 2015 9780241971543
We're all stuffocated. We have more stuff than we could ever need - clothes we don't wear,
kit we don't use, toys we don't play with.
But having everything isn't making us happier. It's bad for the planet. It's cluttering up our
homes. It's making us stressed - and it might even be killing us.
In this groundbreaking book, trend forecaster James Wallman finds that a rising number of
people are turning their backs on all-you-can-get consumption, from the telecoms exec
who's sold almost everything he owns, to the well-off family who have moved into a
remote mountain cabin.
Wallman's solution to our stuffocation crisis is less extreme, but equally fundamental. We
have to transform what we value. We have to focus less on possessions and more
on experiences. Rather than a new watch, or another pair of socks or shoes, we should
invest in shared experiences like holidays, festivals and time with friends.
Stuffocation is a manifesto for a vital change in how we live. It's the one important book
you won't be able to live without.

E-Squared could best be described as a lab manual with simple experiments to prove once
and for all that reality is malleable, consciousness trumps matter, and that you shape your
life with your mind. Yes, you read that right. It says prove.
The nine experiments, each of which can be conducted with absolutely no money and very
little time expenditure, demonstrate that spiritual principles are as dependable as gravity, as
consistent as Newton's laws of motion.
Rather than take it on faith, E-Squared invites you to prove the following principles:




There is an invisible energy force or field of infinite possibilities.
You impact the field and draw from it according to your beliefs and expectations.
Your connection to the field provides accurate and unlimited guidance.
Your universe is limitless, abundant, and strangely accommodating.

Memories of Heaven

Poet William Wordsworth expressed the idea that we gradually lose our intimate
knowledge of heaven as we grow up, observing that 'our birth is but a sleep and a
forgetting' of our previous existence in Spirit.
Dr. Wayne W. Dyer and co-author Dee Garnes had often talked about how the ones who
know the most about God are those who have just recently been wrapped in the arms of the
Divine: our infants and toddlers. In fact, Dee had an interaction with her own young son
that convinced her of his acquaintance with our Source if being. Curious about this
phenomenon, Wayne and Dee decided to issue an invitation to parents all over the globe to
share their experiences. The overwhelming response they received prompted them to put
together this book, which includes the most interesting and illuminating of these stories in
which boys and girls speak about their remembrances from the time before they were born.
Children share their dialogues with God, talk about long-deceased family members they
knew while in the dimension of spirit, verify past-life recollections, give evidence that they
themselves had a hand in picking their own parents and the timing of their sojourn to Earth,
and speak eloquently and accurately of a kind of Divine love that exists beyond this
physical realm.
This fascinating book encourages all of us, not just parents, to take a much more active role
in communicating with our planet's new arrivals . . . and to realise that there is far more to
this earthly experience than what we perceive with our five senses.

His Holiness the Dalai Lama is celebrated as Buddhism's preeminent spiritual master and
teacher, embodying the highest aspirations of this rich tradition that is more than 2,500
years old. With both profundity and simplicity, he has carried the nuanced teachings of the
Buddha to the far corners of the globe, and in the process has touched and transformed
millions of lives. Like the Buddha himself, the Dalai Lama, with his ever-smiling face,
reaches out to people in ways that connect to their individual mental dispositions, abilities,
and everyday realities. Buddhism, which never seeks to proselytise, has been made
accessible by the Dalai Lama to both non-Buddhists and Buddhists alike so that we may all
learn from one of the most valuable strands of our shared heritage.
This fascinating book brings together extracts from some of His Holiness's most powerful
writings and talks. As he explains the elements of the Buddha's teachings and the basic
practices of meditation, he also engages and reconciles the innovations of modern science
with Buddhist perspectives. Ultimately, His Holiness calls for the celebration of diversity
and the recognition of interdependence that breeds a sense of Universal Responsibility—
which must govern all of our relationships in this increasingly fragmented world.
Serving as the perfect introduction to the Dalai Lama's philosophy, both Buddhist and
secular, In My Own Words is just the book for gleaning insights into the mind of one of the
world's greatest spiritual icons.
Dearest Margarita: An Edwardian Love Story in Postcards

Dearest Margarita (use the lettering for the cover of the box)
Forty years ago, I came across two beautiful leather albums tucked away in a cubbyhole in
my grandparent's house on the south coast of England. These albums, wrapped in muslin,
had belonged to my grandmother. In them were over two hundred postcards, a little
yellowed with time, from the early 1900s. I already knew of the secret love affair between
my grandparents, but here in front of me was their relationship brought alive. Cards from
Charles, the man she loved; cards from her family and friends scattered all over the world together they told of an incredible love story spanning years and continents.
Margarita was a beautiful Cuban girl, nineteen years old when in 1899 she first met Charles
on board an ocean liner leaving Havana for Europe. She came from a rich, Catholic
background; he from a poor Protestant family who had earlier emigrated from England to
America. Manuel Johnson, Margarita's stern and domineering father, was a successful
businessman who travelled between Havana, Paris and Berlin. He adored Margarita and
had plans for her to join him in his business when she finished school, after which she
would marry a rich Catholic Cuban. Her love affair with a 'penniless foreigner' sent him
into a fury. The only way he could stop it was to prevent any further correspondence
reaching Margarita; unbeknownst to her, countless letters and postcards were intercepted
and destroyed. She believed Charles had forgotten her.
Three years later an extraordinary coincidence brought Charles and Margarita back together
when, escaping the rain, they met in a tiny shop in Berlin. From then on they rekindled
their love and successfully outwitted her father, marrying in secret in 1906 in London.
These postcards offer a glimpse of a timeless love affair set against the extraordinary
backdrop of the belle époque. I hope you enjoy them.
The Man Who Made Things Out of Trees
Penn, Robert

18 November 2015 9781846148422
'Trees, it seems to me, summon us to witness nature; they are closest to its heart.'
Out of all the trees in the world, the ash is the most closely bound up with who we are: the
tree we have made the greatest and most varied use of over the course of human history.
This is the story of how Robert Penn cut down an ash tree to see how many things could be
made from it. Journeying from Wales across England and Ireland to the USA in his quest,
Robert finds that the ancient traditions, skills and knowledge of the properties of ash,
developed over millennia making wheels and arrows, tools and bowls, furniture and
baseball bats, are far from dead. He reveals how the people working with this wood every
day have a particular and intimate understanding of the physical world, preserving unique
expertise handed down through generations.
This exuberant tale of nature, human ingenuity and the pleasure of making things by hand
chronicles how our urge to understand and appreciate trees still runs through us all like
grain through wood.

Rovelli explains Einstein's theory of general relativity, quantum mechanics, black holes, the
complex architecture of the universe, elementary particles, gravity, and the nature of the
mind. In under one hundred pages, readers will understand the most transformative
scientific discoveries of the twentieth century. Not since Richard Feynman's celebrated
best-seller Six Easy Pieces has physics been so vividly, intelligently and entertainingly
revealed.
Carlo Rovelli is an eminent physicist with an extraordinary ability to write about complex
topics in a lucid, clear prose. His book was top of the bestseller charts in Italy for months
and has sold over 200,000 copies since publication in November. He is the head of

Voices in the Ocean: a journey into the wild and haunting world
of dolphins
Casey, Susan
$37.00 (B+ 210x138mm Demy 8vo) Scribe Publications 320pp
15 October 2015 9781925321104
From a New York Times bestselling author comes a breathtaking journey into the
extraordinary world of dolphins.
Since the dawn of history, humans have felt a kinship with dolphins, whose playfulness,
sociability, and intelligence seem an aquatic mirror of humankind. But dolphins are
mysterious: scientists still don't completely understand their sophisticated navigation and
communication abilities, or their immensely complicated brains.
In 2010, after her father's death, Susan Casey had a singular experience with a pod of
spinner dolphins while swimming off the coast of Maui. It inspired her on a two-year
global adventure to explore these remarkable animals and their relationship to humans.
Casey examines the work of John Lilly, a scientist whose interest in dolphins led him down
some very strange paths; visits a Hawaiian community who believes dolphins are key to
enlightenment; travels to Ireland, where 'the world's most loyal animal' has delighted
tourists for decades; and explores the ancient Minoans' interdependence on dolphins in
Crete. She finds that dolphins can call themselves by name, recognise their reflections,
count, grieve, infer, seduce, form cliques, conduct rescue operations, and even throw
tantrums.
Yet there is a dark side to our relationship with these beautiful animals. Dolphins are the
stars of a global, multibillion-dollar captivity industry — a sinister, lucrative trade in which
animals are captured and kept in brutal conditions. Casey's reportage takes her to the trade's
harrowing epicentre in the Solomon Islands, and to the Japanese town of Taiji, made
infamous by the Oscar–winning documentary The Cove, where she chronicles protests
against the annual slaughter and sale of dolphins.
In the tradition of Susan Orlean and Donovan Hohn, Voices in the Ocean is a thrilling,
compassionate, imperative, and wonderfully lyrical account of the other intelligent life on
the planet.

'I've been to hell and I'm back. If you're in that same place, then I understand what
you're going through.'
John Kirwan was one of the most devastating wingers New Zealand, and world, rugby had
ever seen. A prominent and revered figure at the dawn of the professional age of rugby, he
seemed to live a charmed life.
But nobody knew, though, that behind closed doors 'JK' was living a life of torment.
Afflicted with depression for many years – including those as a high-profile sportsman –
Kirwan was able to survive by reaching out, seeking help from those closest to him.
All Blacks Don't Cry is John Kirwan's story of hope, of working through the pain and living
a full life. It is a poignant, inspirational and helpful example for anybody battling
depression.
At my worst moments, I lost all sense of hope for the future. As I began to slowly get
better, I began to be able to say to myself, 'This will pass, you'll get through this. Hang
on to hope.'
Also available as an eBook and an enhanced eBook with audio from John Kirwan.

I'm a dad and I'm scared.
When I say I'm a dad and I'm scared, I really mean: I'm a dad and I'm looking for
answers – from the professionals, kids, mums, dads and other caregivers who have been
there, holding each other's hands to hell and back.
Stand by me. Let's take the journey together.
Charting John Kirwan's personal experiences as a father, and featuring the real voices of
young people today, Stand By Me investigates issues around teenage mental health, with a
focus on depression and anxiety.
With clinical psychologists Dr Elliot Bell and Kirsty Louden-Bell, JK confronts the big
questions facing parents and teens, highlighting key messages and offering best approaches.
Stand By Me also draws on the perspectives of teenagers who have been diagnosed with
mental health issues and the families who have journeyed with them. In their own words,
the young people reflect on their darkest days and recovery, and consider how these
experiences have shaped them as they face forward into their adult lives.

Where is Taffy? Annie looks and looks, but she can't find her marmalade cat anywhere.
When Taffy doesn't come home, Annie is lonely, so she puts a corn cake at the edge of the
woods. Maybe a small furry creature will come for a nibble and become her pet.
Instead, a giant moose finds the corn cake. But he's much too big for a pet. So are the
other animals – a grumpy bear, a snarling wildcat, and others – who show up to eat Annie's
cakes until there are none left. The wild animals roar for more. What will Annie do now?
Exquisite snowy landscapes filled with raucous wild animals are framed in lively borders
that hint at what Taffy is up to all the way through to the end, when she brings home the
best surprise Annie could have hoped for.
A favorite book that young readers will want to listen to and look at over and over again.
Praise for Annie and the Wild Animals

A summer romance filled with danger and lies.
Jane is ready for a fantastic summer. In fact, she's pretty sure the universe owes her
one. This past winter, Jane was held at knifepoint during an armed robbery and the specter
of that night still haunts her. A summer romance with one of the town bad boys—sexy
Handel Davies, who takes her breath away and makes her feel like a bolder version of
herself—seems like the universe's way of paying her back.
But bad boys always have secrets, and Handel's secret just might shatter Jane completely.
This suspense novel marries psychological thriller with summer romance and is perfect for
teen fans of Gillian Flynn's Gone Girl.

hot summer days depicted.' Kirkus Reviews

between Jane and Handel . . . For a summer romance with a twist, Freitas
delivers.' Publishers Weekly

At a family meeting, Ror declares her purpose:
I am an artist.
But she doesn't really know what that means. Raised on a commune, she's never attended a
day of school, and has seen little of the outside world. What she knows best is drawing. To
her, it's like breathing; it's how she makes sense of the world.
When her father torches the commune—and himself—Ror's life changes. She, her mother
and her sister end up in Manhattan, in a residence for the homeless, where she runs into
trouble—and love—with Trey, the leader of Noise Ink, a graffiti crew.
On the city's streets, and in its museums and galleries, Ror finds herself pulled in different
directions. Her father wanted her to make classic art. Noise Ink insists she stay within their
lines. Her art teacher urges her to go to college. What does she want?
What kind of artist am I?
Ror's journey is a seamless blend of words and pictures, cinematic in its scope–a sharpedged, indelible work of art that will live inside your head.
'This bold book wakes us up to an urban tribe that operates in the margins. The powerful,
primal art feels so organic to the text, it's hard to imagine one without the other.' Nikki
Grimes, award-winning author of Bronix Masquerade
'Shimmers with authenticity and the actual dynamics of the volatile world of street art and
the insular nature of high art. Ron English, street artist and culture jammer

When you were 17, what did you think your life would be like when you hit 27?
At 17, Rachel Hill was the girl most likely to succeed. At 27, with an Honours degree and a
career as a travel writer, she thinks that marriage is the only thing missing from this perfect
trifecta. Her American boyfriend is smart and gorgeous, just the guy everyone thought she'd
find.
But one rash decision changes everything. Suddenly Rachel finds herself living back at
home in her childhood bedroom, nannying a surly six-year-old and watching Mary Tyler
Moore re-runs. Her friends worry she's having a 'quarter-life' crisis – but the real story is far
more bizarre. As she confronts her idea of perfection, she finds that happiness is living the
life you want to live, rather than the one you're expected to.

Boston, 1891. Sophia Tims comes from a family of explorers and cartologers who, for
generations, have been traveling and mapping the New World—a world changed by the
Great Disruption of 1799, when all the continents were flung into different time
periods. Eight years ago, her parents left her with her uncle Shadrack, the foremost
cartologer in Boston, and went on an urgent mission. They never returned. Life with her
brilliant, absent-minded, adored uncle has taught Sophia to take care of herself.
Then Shadrack is kidnapped. And Sophia, who has rarely been outside of Boston, is the
only one who can search for him. Together with Theo, a refugee from the West, she travels
over rough terrain and uncharted ocean, encounters pirates and traders, and relies on a
combination of Shadrack's maps, common sense, and her own slantwise powers of
observation. But even as Sophia and Theo try to save Shadrack's life, they are in danger of
losing their own.
The Glass Sentence plunges readers into a time and place they will not want to leave, and
introduces them to a heroine and hero they will take to their hearts.

Courage is tested, myths come to life, and long-held secrets are revealed.
Lilith Bennette runs at midnight. She scales walls in the dark and climbs without a harness.
She hopes that if she follows exactly in the steps of her strong air force pilot mother, she'll
somehow figure out the mystery of her mother's death—and the reason why her necklace of
Greek symbols has been missing ever since.
So when Lil is invited to Crete for a Future Leaders International conference, the same
conference her mom attended years ago, she jumps at the chance to find some answers. But
things in Melios Manor are not what they seem. Lil finds herself ensnared in an adventure
of mythological proportions that leads her and her friends through the very labyrinth in
which the real Minotaur was imprisoned. And they're not in there alone. What secrets does
the labyrinth hold, and will they help Lil find the truth about her mother?
This book is perfect for older fans of Percy Jackson and the Olympians and the Heroes of
Olympus–and anyone who wants to find out the true story behind the magic of the Greek
gods.
Praise for Keepers of the Labyrinth:
'Secret societies, mythology, and puzzles worthy of a Dan Brown novel all figure
prominently in this thriller….There is much to recommend this book: all the protagonists
are empowered female characters, it explores the idea that behind the stories of classical
Greek mythology is a history of real people, and it is filled with exciting action.' VOYA
'Secret societies, Greek mythology, and a group of strong female characters are all wrapped
up in a mystery which will hit the mark with readers who have finished Rick Riordan's
'Percy Jackson' series.' School Library Journal

An insightful book that is inspiring, uplifting, motivating and really funny! Packed with
common sense tools to get through those tricky teenage years.
Sarah Murdoch
The little black book of information that every teenage girl should read.
Everybody knows high school can be tough. There are days when your favourite teacher
tells you off. When the person you have a crush on fails to notice you even exist. When
your best friend behaves more like your worst enemy. And when even the C-grade netball
team thinks you'd be a dead weight and have the defending skills of a stapler. So how do
you get through it? Glad you asked. From the author of The Girl Most Likely comes Find
Your Tribe (and 9 other things I wish I'd known in high school), a practical, humorous,
guide for girls to help them negotiate their teen years and beyond.
Laugh along with Rebecca as she reveals a few of her own less-than-shining-high-schoolmoments (like the time she accidentally set fire to her fake finger nails) but know that
whether it's finding your tribe, your classroom or your confidence, this little black book
will be an invaluable guide.
