Seventeen-year-old Tessa, dubbed a 'Black-Eyed Susan' by the media, became famous for being the only victim to
survive the vicious attack of a serial killer. Her testimony helped to put a dangerous criminal behind bars - or so she
thought.
Now, decades later the black-eyed susans planted outside Tessa's bedroom window seem to be a message from a
killer who should be safely in prison.
Haunted by fragmented memories of the night she was attacked and terrified for her own teenage daughter's
safety, can Tessa uncover the truth about the killer before it's too late?

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

Paul Tarrant, Elinor Brooke and Kit Neville first met in 1914 at the Slade School of Art, before their generation lost
hope, faith and much else besides on the battlefields of Ypres and the Somme. Now it is 1940, they are middleaged, and another war has begun. London is a haunted city. Some have even turned to séances in an attempt to
contact lost loved ones.
As the bombs fall and Elinor and the others struggle to survive, old temptations and obsessions return, and all of
them are forced to make choices about what they really want . . .

Toby has always protected his sister, Elinor, their bond closer than they can acknowledge. Then comes war, and in
1917 on a French battlefield Toby is reported 'Missing, Believed Killed'. Elinor, an artist now involved in helping
surgeons reconstruct the faces of injured soldiers, is determined to find out what happened and writes to the
horrifically wounded Kit Neville, the last man to see Toby alive. But Neville is in hospital, himself damaged beyond
recognition, and he will not talk - until Elinor asks fellow soldier and her former lover Paul Tarrant for help. But are
some truths better left concealed?

Pat Barker's award-winning Regeneration Trilogy - comprising Regeneration, The Eye in the Door and The Ghost
Road - is the heart-rending story of the last two years of the First World War seen through the eyes of army
psychologist William Rivers and damaged soldier Billy Prior.
As Rivers struggles with the responsibility of helping the men in his charge - including the traumatized poets
Siegfried Sassoon and Wilfred Owen - only to see them returned to the front, we see how an entire generation of
young men was brutalized by the horrors of the trenches.

reverberating in the lives of Lucy and her mother, Rose, now?
As the passions of the past trickle down the years, three generations of one family pull together. Each must learn in

Miriam hasn't left her house in three years, and cannot raise her voice above a whisper. But today she has had
enough, and is finally ready to rejoin the outside world. Meanwhile, Ralph has made the mistake of opening a closet
door, only to discover with a shock that his wife Sadie doesn't love him, and never has. And so he decides to run
away. Miriam and Ralph's chance meeting in a wood during stormy weather marks the beginning of an amusing,
restorative friendship, while Sadie takes a break from Twitter to embark on an intriguing adventure of her own.
As their collective story unfolds, each of them seeks to better understand the objects of their affection, and their
own hearts, timidly refusing to stand still and accept the chaos life throws at them. Filled with wit and sparkling
prose, Whispers Through a Megaphone explores our attempts to meaningfully connect with ourselves and others, in
an often deafening world – when sometimes all we need is a bit of silence.
'In an over-connected world, a crisp, beguiling voice observes chaos – and conjures miracles. Elliott is an inspired

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

Grey. Cursed with royal blood, her young sisters Katherine and Mary must now face the perils of the Tudor court
alone.

The second Leone Scarmacio thriller.
As autumn sets in, the queues outside the soup kitchens of Rome are lengthening and the people are taking to the
piazzas, increasingly frustrated by the deepening economic crisis.
Detective Leone Scamarcio is called to an apparent suicide on the Ponte Sant Angelo, a stone's throw from Vatican
City. A man is hanging from the bridge, his expensive suit suggesting yet another businessman fallen on hard times.
But Scamarcio is immediately troubled by similarities with the 1982 murder of Roberto Calvi, dubbed 'God's Banker'
because of his work for the Vatican Bank.
Scamarcio's instincts are soon proved correct when a cardinal with links to the bank is killed. And when US
Intelligence warn Scamarcio to drop his investigation, he knows that the stakes are far higher than he first realised.
Ignoring their threats, Scarmarcio pushes on, but his progress is being monitored by some of the world's most
powerful men, who will stop at nothing to make sure their dirty work stays under cover. In breathtaking
developments that link 9/11, America's dirty wars, Vatican corruption, the Mafia, and Italy's violence against it own
people, Scarmacio has to deal with responsibilities far above his pay grade.

From Egypt's most popular novelist – an absorbing, exuberant and powerfully moving story of a family swept up by
social unrest in post-World War II Cairo.
Abd el-Aziz Gaafar, formerly a well-respected landowner now in the grip of penury, moved his family to Cairo and
took on menial work at the Automobile Club – a place of refuge and luxury for its European members, a place
where Egyptians may appear only as servants. Alku, the lifelong Nubian servant of Egypt's corrupt king, runs the
show in all but name. The servants, a squabbling, humorous, and deeply human group, live in a perpetual state of
fear: beaten for their mistakes, their wages dependent on Alku's whims. When Abd el-Aziz's pride gets the better of
him and he stands up for himself, his death – as much from shame as from his injuries after Alku has him beaten –
leaves his widow further impoverished, and two of his sons obliged to work in the Club. As the family is drawn into
the turbulent politics – public and private – both servants and masters are subsumed by Egypt's social upheaval.
Soon the Egyptians of the Automobile Club face a stark choice: to live safely but without dignity as servants, or to
fight for their rights and risk everything.
'Al Aswany is a world writer, making Egyptian concerns into human ones and beautifully illuminating our always
extraordinary and sometimes sad and baffling world.' The Times (London)

The English-language debut of Indonesia's rising literary star.
Compulsively readable, Beauty Is a Wound combines history, satire, family tragedy, legend, humour, and romance
in an astonishing epic novel, in which the beautiful Indo prostitute Dewi Ayu and her four daughters are beset by
every monstrosity.
Kurniawan's gleefully grotesque hyperbole is a scathing critique of his young nation's troubled past: the rapacious
offhand greed of colonialism; the chaotic struggle for independence; the 1965 mass murders, followed by three
decades of Suharto's despotic rule. Drawing on local sources—folk tales and the all-night shadow puppet plays, with
their bawdy wit—and inspired by Melville and Gogol, Beauty is a Wound is passionate and ironic, exuberant and
confronting. Hailed as 'the next Pramoedya', Eka Kurniawan is an exciting new voice in contemporary literature.

'For nearly five years I have wanted to write something about the surrealist painter Emil Bafdescu: about his
paintings, one of which hangs in a little restaurant in Melbourne, and about his disappearance, which is still a
mystery. But this is probably not going to be the book I imagined. Nothing has quite worked out the way I planned.'
With the inheritance he received upon his father's death, Miles has come to Europe on the trail of the Romanian
surrealist, who disappeared into a forest in 1967. But in trying to unravel the mystery of Bafdescu's secret life, Miles
must also reckon with his own.
Faced with a language and a landscape that remain stubbornly out of reach, and condemned to wait for someone
who may never arrive, Miles is haunted by thoughts of his ex-girlfriend, Alice, and the trip they took to Venice that
ended their relationship.
Uncanny, occasionally absurd, and utterly original, Fever of Animals is a beautifully written meditation on art and
grief.

Lucien, a professional writer, fleeing the exactions and the censorship, finds refuge in the city thanks to Requiem, a
youth friend. Requiem lives mainly on theft and on swindle while Lucien only thinks of writing and living honestly.
Around them gravitate gangsters and young girls, retired or runaway men, profit-seeking tourists and federal agents
of a non-existent State.
Tram 83 plunges the reader into the atmosphere of a gold rush as cynical as, sometimes, comic and colorfully
exotic. It's an observation of human relationships in a world that has become a global village. It could be described
as an African-rap or rhapsody novel or puzzle-novel hammered by rhythms of jazz.

A paying guest seems like a win-win proposition to the Joshi family. He's ready with the rent, he's willing to lend a
hand when he can and he's happy to listen to Mrs Joshi on the imminent collapse of our culture.
But he's also a man of mystery. He has no last name. He has no family, no friends, no history and no plans for the
future.
The siblings Tanay and Anuja are smitten by him. He overturns their lives. And when he vanishes, he breaks their
hearts.
Elegantly wrought and exquisitely spare, Colbalt Blue is a tale of rapturous love and fierce heartbreak told with
tenderness and unsparing clarity.

'Tell me about home, please. Tell me about the weather. About the heat or dust or still-ness. Anything. And tell me
about you. I keep your photo on the side without the gun. For balance.'
This is a love story that spans fifty years, three lives, two continents and an ocean. It tells of school teacher Etta,
who settles in the Canadian prairies during the Great Depression and of the two pupils who fall in love with her:
Russell, a city boy who takes to farming despite his twisted leg, and Otto, who struggles in school but always tries
hard - even when he's sent to fight a war in a distant land. It is a story of love and joy, pain and passion, memory
and forgetting - and one incredible journey. It is the story of Etta and Otto and Russell and James.

In print for the first time ever, author and philosopher Ayn Rand's novel Ideal.
Originally conceived as a novel but then transformed into a play by Ayn Rand, Ideal is the story of beautiful but
tormented actress Kay Gonda. Accused of murder, she is on the run, and she turns for help to six fans who have
written letters to her, each telling her that she represents their ideal—a respectable family man, a far-left activist, a
cynical artist, an evangelist, a playboy, and a lost soul. Each reacts to her plight in his own way, their reactions a
glimpse into their secret selves and their true values. In the end their responses to her pleas give Kay the answers
she has been seeking.
Ideal was written in 1934 as a novel, but Ayn Rand thought the theme of the piece would be better realized as a
play and put the novel aside. Now, both versions of Ideal are available for the first time ever to the millions of Ayn
Rand fans around the world, giving them a unique opportunity to explore the creative process of Rand as she wrote
first a book, then a play, and the differences between the two.

I was always the calm one, the perfect foil to his freewheeling wild spirit. But since his death shortly after his 27th

I knew it was time to face my destiny, and I was ready to yield. But then I met Nate, Zachary's best friend. Only he

Thomas Malthus's provocative and prescient 1798 work on the dangers of population growth attracted support and
violent criticism in equal measure, and has been praised, misinterpreted and remade ever since. Malthus argued,
with clarity and logic, that the rate of population growth will always outstrip food production, and that social
betterment comes from population control - a perennially relevant argument amid today's concerns over global
resources. This new edition of the Essay also includes other writings and diary extracts that show Malthus's
intellectual development after his landmark treatise.

'You common cry of curs, whose breath I hate As reek o'th'rotten fens, whose loves I prize As the dead carcasses of
unburied men That do corrupt my air - I banish you'
Coriolanus, a famed warrior turned politician, is driven from Rome as a traitor when he arrogantly speaks out
against popular rule and loses the good will of the starving people. Banished and embittered, he allies himself with
his former enemies and begins to plot a merciless revenge on Rome. Shakespeare's politically ambiguous late
tragedy of a great soldier who fails to be a great leader questions the notion of heroism and what power really
means.

'We few, we happy few, we band of brothers'
Young King Henry wages war on France. Tainted by his family's past crimes and with enemies among his own men,
he must face the difficult responsibilities of kingship, unite his country and rouse his troops to battle at Agincourt. A
heroic coming-of-age story and a work of stirring patriotic oratory, Henry V also has darker undercurrents that
ultimately question the price of military victory.

'Off with the crown; and, with the crown, his head; And, whilst we breathe, take time to do him dead'
The battle-stained soldiers of the House of York, triumphant over their enemies, throw a decapitated head on to the
floor of parliament and see their chance to seize power from King Henry. The Queen is so angered by her husband's
weakness that she declares war. As violent conflict rages throughout England, political and family ties break down,
and, amidst the chaos, the hunchback Richard becomes a growing menace. Shakespeare's third drama of the Wars
of the Roses plays out the bloody cycle of civil war and its tragic consequences.

J. M. Coetzee—winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature, twice winner of the Man Booker Prize—is one of the
world's most celebrated and intriguing authors. Yet the heart of his fiction remains elusive.
In J. M. Coetzee and the Life of Writing, David Attwell explores the extraordinary creative processes behind
Coetzee's novels, from Dusklands to The Childhood of Jesus. Through a close examination of Coetzee's manuscripts,
notebooks and research papers, Attwell reveals the strong autobiographical thread that runs through his work,
convincingly demonstrating that Coetzee's writing proceeds with never-ending self-reflection.
A preeminent Coetzee scholar, Attwell offers fascinating insight into one of the most important and opaque literary
figures of our time.
Citizen: An American Lyric
Rankine, Claudia
$28.00 (Misc P/B) Penguin (General Uk) 192pp
26 August 2015 9780141981772 Carton
Qty: 1
In this moving, critical and fiercely intelligent collection of prose poems, Claudia Rankine examines the experience of
race and racism in Western society through sharp vignettes of everyday discrimination and prejudice, and longer
meditations on the violence - whether linguistic or physical - which has impacted the lives of Serena Williams,
Zinedine Zidane, Mark Duggan and others.
Awarded the National Book Critics Circle Award for Poetry in America after becoming the first book in the prize's
history to be a finalist in both the poetry and criticism categories, Citizen weaves essays, images and poetry
together to form a powerful testament to the individual and collective effects of racism in our ostensibly 'post-race'
society.
'Everywhere were flashes, a siren sounding and a stretched-out roar. Get on the ground. Get on the ground now.
Then I just knew. And you are not the guy and still you fit the description because there is only one guy who is always
the guy fitting the description.'
'Wonderfully capacious and innovative. In her riffs on the demotic, in her layering of incident, Rankine finds a new
way of writing about race in America.' Nick Laird, New York Review of Books
'Citizen feels raw . . . this documentary-style look at America has catapulted Rankine into the spotlight . . . She
speaks to the vastly different ways racism and injustice are perpetuated across class lines in America today.' Smitha
Khorana, Guardian
'Rankine brilliantly pushes poetry's forms . . . one is left with a mix of emotions that linger and wend themselves into
the subconscious.' Holly Bass, The New York Times
'Requires us to think of poetry anew.' David L. Ulin, Los Angeles Times

'There are few situations in life which are more difficult to cope with than an adolescent son or daughter during the
attempt to liberate themselves'
Anna Freud was one of the most creative and innovative thinkers in the history of psychoanalysis, whose pioneering
work in child analysis and development revolutionized the treatment of the young.
This essential anthology of her writings includes extracts from her classic The Ego and the Mechanisms of Defence,
as well as papers on normal and pathological child development, on adolescence, trauma, aggression and analytical
technique. Together they offer a definitive overview of her entire career, displaying the richness, variety and
originality of her thinking.
'An achievement of the first importance . . . underlines the clarity and cogency of Anna Freud's thinking, [and]
makes it accessible to a wide audience.' Clifford Yorke, former Medical Director, the Anna Freud Centre, London

World so wide, world so large, my heart's even larger'
Modernist, misfit, everyman and master of the sublime, Carlos Drummond de Andrade is perhaps Brazil's greatest
poet. This newly translated selection, spanning his sixty year career, reveals his compelling humour, pathos and
sensitivity. From the sparse, quiet lyricism of 'Childhood', recalling his youth in Brazil's rural interior, to the wry
advice offered to would-be poets by 'In Search of Poetry', and the bold metaphysical yearning of 'Eternal', these
poems express a vast sprawl of experience and feeling, from one of twentieth-century literature's most vital voices.

26 August 2015 9780141194202 Carton
Qty: 1
Devastatingly witty, offensive and wonderfully irreverent: this new selection of Kingsley Amis's brilliant journalism
and assorted non-fiction reveals him at his most cantankerous and astute.
This hugely entertaining collection is vintage Amis. All of his best non-fiction pieces have been gathered together to
reveal him at his most typically robust and incisive: cutting a swathe through such subjects as writers and writing,
'Abroad', eating and drinking, music, language and education. Ridden hard and fast are such Amis hobby-horses as
arts subsidies, literary prizes, and jazz; and among the writers discussed at length are Evelyn Waugh, Anthony
Powell, Anthony Burgess and Ian Fleming, as well as Amis's beloved Philip Larkin.
In these pages we can eat out at some of Amis's favourite (and unfavourite) restaurants, we can sample the Amis
hangover cure, and we can wince at the horrible truth of Sod the Public: A Consumer's Guide.

Remembering Christchurch
Parr, Alison
$45.00 (Flexicover) Penguin 256pp
26 August 2015 9780143573371 Carton
Qty: 1
What remains when a city vanishes?
Remembering Christchurch captures the human heritage that survives the devastation of the Canterbury
earthquakes. In evocative interviews, older citizens share their precious memories, bringing Christchurch back to life
— from familiar streets, shops and churches to pubs, tearooms and dance halls; from movie theatres and pie carts
in the Square to milkshakes at the Dainty Inn on High Street. There are tales of cherished homes in red-zoned
suburbs such as Dallington, and of earlier trips through the tunnel to the port of Lyttelton.
Woven through these stories, a social history of Christchurch emerges, exposing shifting attitudes to class, race,
religion, sex and the place of women.
Vivid and revealing, these rich memories create a lasting legacy for a much-loved city.
Kupapa: The Bitter Legacy of Maori Alliances with the Crown
Crosby, Ron
$65.00 (Miscell H/B) Penguin 464pp
26 August 2015 9780143573111 Carton
Qty: 1
Kupapa has been variously defined as being neutral (in a quarrel), being loyal, being an ally, or being a traitor. The
word itself has come to be as hotly contested as its history.
The Treaty of Waitangi struck a bargain between two parties: the Crown and Maori. Its promises of security,
however, were followed from 1845 to 1872 by a series of volatile and bloody conflicts commonly known as the New
Zealand Wars.
Many people today believe that these wars were fought solely between the Crown and Maori, when the reality is
that Maori aligned with both sides — resulting in three participants with differing viewpoints.
It is rarely recognised, for instance, that Te Wherowhero, later the first Maori King, was originally a strong supporter
of the Crown; or that the numbers of Maori who aligned with the Crown or were neutral probably exceeded those
who fought against it. Or that the frontline combat over the final two years was fought almost exclusively between
opposing Maori forces.
***
Captivating, comprehensive and thought-provoking, Kupapa addresses those realities, the complex Treaty-related
reasons for them, and the cynical use of Maori by the Crown for its own purposes.
In the vein of Belich, Binney and Salmond, author Ron Crosby, a lawyer and recent member of the Waitangi
Tribunal, provides an unstinting examination that — for the first time ever — focuses on a critical component of
what Maori might consider New Zealand's very own civil wars.
An important work that gives voice to an unspoken chapter of New Zealand history.

Ten years after his internationally bestselling The Weather Makers, acclaimed author and scientist Tim Flannery
argues that Earth's climate system is approaching a crisis. Catastrophe is not inevitable, but time is fast running out.
In the lead-up to the United Nations Climate Change Summit to be held in Paris in December 2015, Atmosphere of
Hope provides both a snapshot of the trouble we are in and an up-to-the-minute analysis of some of the new
possibilities for mitigating climate change that are emerging now.
From atmospheric carbon capture through extensive seaweed farming, CO2 snow production in Antarctica and the
manufacture of carbon-rich biochar to reflecting the sun's rays by releasing sulphur into the atmosphere and
painting landscapes and cities white, Flannery outlines an array of innovative technologies that give cause for hope.

What does climate change mean?
How will global warming affect our lives?
Is it the cause of wilder storms and more frequent droughts?
Are these events inevitable?
Tim Flannery makes this urgent issue completely accessible. He tells the fascinating story of climate change over
millions of years to help us understand the predicament we face. By burning fossil fuels we are increasing the levels
of greenhouse gases in our atmosphere, causing our planet to become warmer.
Every nation is affected differently by these changes but we have one thing in common-we are now the weather
makers, and the new climate we are creating threatens the future of our civilisation.
Tim Flannery shows how we can all help to combat these problems. You may be surprised at how much you can do.
The Weather Makers will change your life.

In Deep South he turns his gaze to a region much closer to his home. Travelling through North and South Carolina,
Georgia, Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama and Arkansas he writes of the stunning landscapes he discovers - the

Decades before the term 'safe sex' was coined, Ettie Rout flouted official directives and fought to protect World
War One soldiers from venereal disease.
In Paris, she ran a sexual welfare service for the Anzacs — collecting them from the station, guiding them to
Madame Yvonne's brothel, which she regularly inspected, looking after the sick and running a counselling service.
Her prophylactic kit was eventually — and controversially — adopted by both the New Zealand and Australian
governments.
Armed with a wicked sense of humour, an intolerance of hypocrisy and boundless energy, Ettie Rout championed
socialism and sexual freedom.
Ettie Rout: New Zealand's safe-sex pioneer celebrates an unlikely — and largely unsung — heroine in the New
Zealand World War One story. A woman ahead of her time.

26 August 2015 9781925106756 Carton
Qty: 1
A candid, insightful memoir by one of Australia's foremost editors, who worked with many of the country's finest
writers.
It started in 1971, when Craig Munro was a young editor at the University of Queensland Press, with just a
typewriter and a thumbed copy of the Chicago Manual of Style on his desk. Over the next two decades, Munro
became involved in an invigoration of Australian writing and publishing, with University of Queensland Press at its
centre.
After spotting Peter Carey's work in an indie magazine, Munro edited Carey's debut, The Fat Man in History. He
went on to publish several of Carey's award-winning novels, edited David Malouf's classic work, Johnno, and helped
to bring about UQP's Indigenous publishing list. Munro championed Olga Masters and Barbara Hanrahan, edited a
young Murray Bail, and became firm friends with Top of the Lake scriptwriters Gerard Lee and Jane Campion. Over
his long career, he also encountered an irascible Xavier Herbert, hardworking journalist Hugh Lunn, raconteur Herb
Wharton, master storyteller Elizabeth Jolley, and then-emerging talent Kate Grenville. Just as importantly, Munro
mentored and trained passionate editors who are today well-known agents, editors, and publishers.
With humour, insight, and warmth, Munro recounts arguably the most daring, innovative, and well-funded period
that Australian publishing has ever witnessed. Like Other People's Words by Hilary McPhee, Under Cover is essential
reading for all those who love books and cherish Australia's unique literary culture.

Qty: 1
A ground-breaking counter-history of Penguin Books – both amusing and moving, and with a strong new Australian
aspect.
How did the three Lane brothers enter publishing and build Penguin into a global powerhouse? As this new book
shows, their innovation and the creative opposition among them would prove to be the company's secret weapon.
The Lane boys did their best thinking together in bathroom board-meetings, where at least one director would
always be 'mother naked'. The war, though, brought tragedy for the family. John Lane's 1942 death in action during
the North African landings shattered the brothers' intimate partnership.
Richard went on to share with Allen the leadership of one of the first global media businesses. The Lanes built a firm
and a brand that became synonymous not only with paperbacks but also with a certain kind of publishing: switchedon, progressive, engaging. With its low-price, mass-distribution model, Penguin became a vast 'poor man's
university', a proto-internet made from paper and ink.
Australia featured prominently in the lives of the Lanes. Richard came to the country as a young man, and later
helped establish and lead Penguin Australia, which was so successful that it enabled its UK parent to stave off
bankruptcy in the 1960s and 1970s.
Relying on unprecedented access to Lane family sources, including Richard's diaries and other papers, Penguin and
the Lane Brothers sheds new light on the relationship between Allen, Richard and John, so crucial as a driver of
Penguin's spirit and success. It restores the younger Lane brothers to their rightful place in the fascinating story of
this unlikely publishing triumph.

'I felt I had come of age. I was a soldier and I'd just tried to kill some of our enemies'
On 1 August 1944 15-year-old Andrew Boroweic, a volunteer in the Resistance, lobbed a grenade at German
soldiers patrolling in Warsaw - and began his war. This account of the 63-day Warsaw Uprising - written in a POW
camp soon after - tells of Boroweic's brutal rite of passage from child to veteran soldier in one of the bloodiest and
most ruthless episodes of the Second World War.
'Terribly moving. Borowiec recalls every moment of his fighting - throwing grenades from an apartment block, firing
his rifle from a pile of rubble.' Daily Telegraph
'Both harrowing and full of human and even humorous touches. An important addition to our understanding of
what was happening in Poland during the war.' Tablet
'Engaging, striking. Borowiec is excellent at honestly recreating the often surprising attitudes and points of view of a
child.' Literary Review
'The best-ever account of what it was like to be young and fighting the Warsaw Uprising.' Sunday Herald

Hit the Target: Eight Men who Led The Eighth Air Force to Victory over the Luftwaffe

Less than a month after the attack on Pearl Harbor, the U.S. Army formed its first air force designated to operate
overseas, the Eighth. Within four months, they had set up base in England. Three months later, they were bombing
German targets in occupied Europe.
The Eighth was the first bomber command on either side to commit to strategic daylight bombing. It was a major
change in tactics—and the men of the Eighth paid the price in both lives and blood. But it was that very sacrifice
that led the Allies to victory.
Hit the Target introduces readers to those who made the Eighth Air Force the formidable juggernaut it soon
became. Men of all ranks, from General Tooey Spaatz, the hard-driving founding commander, to Colonel Jimmy
Doolittle, the hero who led the first air raid on Japan, to Maynard 'Snuffy' Smith, the irascible first airman in Europe
to be awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor, and Robert 'Rosie' Rosenthal, who survived his time with the
'Bloody Hundredth,' which lost airmen at a horrifying rate, and who went on to serve as a prosecutor at the
Nuremberg Trials.
The story of the Mighty Eighth is told through these men, whose careers paralleled the early history of aviation and
who helped to revolutionize airborne warfare and win World War II.

Praise for Aces High
'This is the greatest flying story of all time . . . If there was ever an aviation tale that had all the elements of an old

looking for.' Dan Roam, Author of The Back of the Napkin: Solving Problems and Selling Ideas

ambitions. The notion of a new currency, maintained by the computers of users around the world, has been the
butt of many jokes, but that has not stopped it from growing into a technology worth billions of dollars, supported
by the hordes of followers who have come to view it as the most important new idea since the creation of the
Internet. Believers from Beijing to Buenos Aires see the potential for a financial system free from banks and
governments, and a new global money for the digital age.
An unusual tale of group invention, Digital Gold tells the story of the colorful characters who have built Bitcoin,
including a Finnish college student; an Argentinian millionaire; a Chinese entrepreneur; Tyler and Cameron
Winklevoss; Satoshi Nakamoto, Bitcoin's elusive creator; and Ross Ulbricht, the founder of the Silk Road online drug
market.
With Digital Gold, the New York Times reporter Nathaniel Popper offers a brilliant and engrossing account of this
new technology-one filled with dramatic booms and busts that have led to untold riches for some and prison terms
for others. But at each turn, Bitcoin has provided one of the most fascinating tests of how money works, who
benefits from it, and what it may look like in the future.
Restless Continent: Wealth, rivalry and Asia's new geopolitics

An essential road-map for a region in transition.
The world has never seen economic development of the speed and scale of Asia's during recent decades. Home to
three-fifths of humanity, this restless continent will soon produce more than half of the world's economic output
and consume more energy than the rest of the world combined.
Surprisingly little hard thinking has been done about the future of Asia, despite its clear centrality to the trajectory
of the twenty-first century. All but three of the planet's current and nascent nuclear powers are Asian, and the
growth in weapons spending across that continent outstrips that of any other region.
Restless Continent is the first book to examine the economic, social, political and strategic trends across the
continent and present a road map for thinking about Asia's future – and the world's.
It looks at the psychology of countries becoming newly rich and powerful. It explores the 'corridors of blood' – the
geography and politics of conflict. And it makes a case about how to avert a plunge into dispute, even war.
Restless Continent is an agenda-shaping book about the shape of international affairs in the twenty-first century.
Superpower: Three Choices for America's Role in the World

America will remain the world's only superpower for the foreseeable future. What role should it play in the world?
Bestselling author and strategist Ian Bremmer argues that Washington's directionless foreign policy has become
expensive and dangerous. Since the end of the Cold War, the US has stumbled from crisis to crisis in Afghanistan,
Iraq, Iran, Libya, Syria and Ukraine with no clear strategy.
In Superpower, Bremmer urges us to think more deeply about what sort of country America should be and how it
should use its superpower status. He explores three options for US foreign policy:



Independent America: America should no longer take responsibility for solving other people's problems.
Instead, Americans should lead by example.
Moneyball America: Washington can't meet every international challenge. The priorities must be to focus
on opportunities and to defend US interests where they're threatened.
Indispensable America: Only America can defend the values on which global stability increasingly depends.
We will never live in a stable world while others are denied their most basic freedoms.
As the 2016 presidential election approaches, America can no longer afford to be complacent about its role in the
world. It's time to make a choice.
'A must read for all those concerned with the twenty-first-century geopolitical landscape.'

The Battle for Lone Pine

Most Australian have heard of Lone Pine. Too few know why.
Over four days in August 1915, Australians and Turks were thrown into some of the fiercest fighting of the war, on a
small plateau in Gallipoli known as Lone Pine. Thousands of lives were lost. Seven of Australia's nine Gallipoli VCs
were earned during brutal hand-to-hand combat in dark tunnels and in trenches just metres apart, bombarded by
terrifying volleys of grenades.
The Battle for Lone Pine is the first book devoted to this cornerstone of the Anzac legend, drawing on unforgettable
first-hand accounts scratched into diaries and letters home. The stories of the diggers, as well as the engineers,
nurses, sappers, commanders and more, provide an invaluable record of the battle and serve as moving testimony
to their courage in appalling conditions.
Today, pine trees are planted in remembrance around Australia. In Gallipoli, the Lone Pine Cemetery and Memorial
attracts large crowds to commemorate Anzac Day. David W. Cameron's absorbing history reveals the fate of those
who fought on the ground where they gather.

Common Sense: and The American Crisis I

Thomas Paine's Common Sense may well be the most influential polemic in all of American history. Published
anonymously in 1776, six months before the Declaration of Independence, this incendiary call for Americans to
revolt against British rule converted millions to the cause of independence and set out a vision of a just society
liberated from the yoke of the crown. Paine's pamphlet was the first to speak directly to a mass audience—and his
assertive and often caustic style embodied the democratic spirit he advocated.
This expanded edition also features Paine's The American Crisis I, the first in a series of pamphlets aimed at
bolstering American morale during the Revolution. An introduction by preeminent constitutional expert Richard
Beeman traces Paine's origins and illuminates the significance of these writings.
'No writer has exceeded Paine in ease and familiarity of style; in perspicuity of expression, happiness of elucidation,
and in simple unassuming language.' Thomas Jefferson

America in 1775 was on the verge of revolution—or, more likely, disastrous defeat. After England's King George
sent hundreds of ships to bottle up American harbors and prey on American shipping, John Adams of Massachusetts
proposed a bold solution: The Continental Congress should raise a navy.
The idea was mad. The Royal Navy was the mightiest floating arsenal in history, and the British were confident that
His Majesty's warships would quickly bring the rebellious Colonials to their knees. But they were wrong. America's
sailors became formidable warriors, matching their wits, skills, and courage against the best of the British fleet.
Victories led by captains such as John Barry, Nicholas Biddle, and James Nicholson gave the patriots hope, while,
along the British coastline, daring raids by John Paul Jones and the 'Dunkirk Pirate,' Gustavus Conyngham, sent fear
throughout England. In the end, the adventures of men on both sides of the struggle contributed greatly to
American independence.
Meticulously researched and masterfully told, Give Me a Fast Ship is a rousing, epic tale of war on the high seas—
and the definitive history of the American Navy during the Revolutionary War.

A Banquet of Consequences

A Banquet of Consequences is a lively exploration by financial expert Satyajit Das on why, following the global credit
crunch, the world is entering a period of prolonged economic stagnation, and what that means for all of us.
The factors that caused the Global Financial Crisis of 2008 have not been addressed, notes Satyajit Das in this
brilliantly clear-eyed account of the state of the world economy. Global debt today is higher than it was before the
crisis. The big banks, bailed out by taxpayers at the height of the GFC, are now bigger than ever, by an astonishing
40 per cent. The problem of unfunded and unsustainable welfare entitlements remains unresolved. In most
developed countries, economic growth, employment, income and investment are still struggling to return to precrisis levels. Meanwhile the developing countries have not become the new drivers of global prosperity they were
expected to be.
The crux of the issue, argues Das, is that economic growth cannot continue indefinitely. The reasons for this include
demographic changes, lower rates of innovation, slower improvements in productivity, the increasing scarcity of
natural resources, the impact of global warming, the reversal of globalisation, and the rising inequality within and
between nations. The strategies deployed by governments to promote growth have failed. What's really needed is
unpopular structural change, which will result in a reduction in wealth and living standards. World leaders know
what to do, they just don 't know how to get re-elected after they 've done it. People don 't want to hear that their
time of plenty has reached the end.
Starting with the long period of expansion that followed the end of World War II, A Banquet of Consequences traces
the cycle of booms and busts that culminated in the GFC, working through to the present day and outlining a future
without growth. It looks at the ill-advised policies implemented by governments that have left jobs, investment and
living standards stagnant while driving prices of shares, property and financial investment ever higher, creating the
conditions for a financial crash on a scale even larger than the last crisis.
The end of growth has vast consequences for us all, among them the increasing difficulty of finding a secure job
with an adequate wage, buying a house and saving for retirement, a loss of trust in banks and political processes,
and, perhaps most importantly, the impact on future generations, who will be forced to bear the cost of the
problems.
Satyajit Das is well known as a commentator and author, having anticipated the 2008 crisis and much of what has
happened subsequently. He has penned both reference works and two international bestsellers, Traders, Guns &
Money and Extreme Money. Written for the lay reader, A Banquet of Consequences is peppered with witty
anecdotes and cultural references both traditional and popular. Satyajit Das is perhaps the only finance writer who
can simultaneously make you outraged and chuckle as you read, and the experience is a delight.
'Fascinating reading . . . explaining not only the high-minded theory behind the business and its various products but
the sometimes sordid reality of the industry.' Financial Times, London, on Traders, Guns & Money

The Energy- Freedom Home: how to wipe out electricity and gas bills in nine steps

The average Australian household spends over $2,000 a year on gas and electricity bills. Now, not only can you reduce
those bills, but you can even wipe them out, while making your home more comfortable.
There are simple, practical ways to reduce our demand for energy and to change where we get it from. There is
already a quiet revolution under way as renewable energy and energy efficiency transform the way we generate
and use electricity and gas. Over 1.4 million households in Australia now have rooftop solar — and, as a result, the
costs of solar energy have plummeted, making it more accessible for the average home-owner. Yet there is much
more that can be done to reduce our reliance on the electricity grid, and some significant improvements that can be
made with relatively little effort.
The Energy-Freedom Home explains nine steps that can be taken — in any order — to become more energy
efficient:
• replace old lights with LEDs
• stop draughts
• improve insulation
• upgrade windows
• use energy-efficient appliances
• install reverse-cycle systems
• use solar or heat-pump systems to heat your water
• monitor and control your energy use
• switch to solar.
Containing detailed, easy-to-follow descriptions of practical problems and solutions, plus over 120 colour
photographs and diagrams, The Energy-Freedom Home is the perfect guide to help home-owners liberate
themselves from costly and non-renewable sources of energy

The real revolution in the arts first took place not, as is commonly supposed, in the 1920s to the accompaniment of
the Charleston, black jazz and mint juleps, but more quietly and intimately, in the shadow of the windmills - artificial
and real - and in the cafés and cabarets of Montmartre during the first decade of the century. The cross-fertilization
of painting, writing, music and dance produced a panorama of activity characterized by the early works of Picasso,
Braque, Matisse, Derain, Vlaminck and Modigliani, the appearance of the Ballet Russe and the salons of Gertrude
Stein.
In In Montmartre, Sue Roe vividly brings to life the bohemian world of art in Paris between 1900-1910.

One of the first surfaces on which early humans chose to express themselves creatively, clay remains a hugely
prominent material in both fine and decorative art today. Pottery and ceramics show a unique juxtaposition being
equally congruous in both the gallery to the everyday. In The Pot Book meticulously hand-created masterpieces
share space with factory-made multiples of thousands.
As an instigator of extensive industry from Stoke-on-Trent to Dingzhou, the ceramics on show represent not only
the artists' work but also the society for which they were intended. Including works from unknown makers as
diverse as Abydos in Ancient Egypt and Colima in pre-classic Mexico, to more recently the works of Grayson Perry,
the Bauhaus and Cindy Sherman, The Pot Book represents multiple cultures and time periods and illustrates the
extensive variety of this ancient medium.
The loud colour-blocking of Clarice Cliff is juxtaposed with the pared down aesthetic of Hans Coper, while the rustic
naturalism of Abydos contrasts with the floral intricacies of Famille Rose. The interrelationships of ceramics with
other art forms are apparent in the Fauvist decorations of André Derain and the architectural forms of Russel
Wright. Similarly influences across the globe are inadvertently explored when the detailed uniformity of the trim in
a Josiah Wedgewood collection is reflected in the highly stylized patterning of Exekias over two millennia earlier.
The democratic format of allowing equal space to each maker creates a wealth of comparisons and an extensive trip
through both time periods and geographical locations giving an unparalleled vision of the history of ceramics and
their place in the creative world today.
Japan Style
Calza, Gian Carlo
$55.00 (Misc P/B) Phaidon 304pp
26 August 2015 9780714870557 Carton
Qty: 1
This book describes and defines what 'Japan style' is. It explores specific achievements in Japanese art and
architecture, but also offers an in-depth analysis of the whole of Japanese culture, its vision of the world and of
humankind. 'Japan style' is something recognizable to everyone: a beautifully arranged flower, an elegant piece of
calligraphy or a simple rock garden, but it is also something that is very difficult to define.
This book gives the reader the tools to fully understand Japanese art and culture. As Gian Carlo Calza says, the path
to understanding and appreciating Japanese culture is slow and long, and in order to develop the right sensibility on
the journey, it is imperative that the reader acquires the necessary means. With this in mind, the author reveals and
shares his experience in and knowledge of Japanese culture, defining the essence of Japanese style.
The book is divided into three main sections. In the first one ('Irregular Beauty'), the author delineates the different
aspects of Japanese culture and draws interesting connections between art, architecture, religion, philosophy and
mythology. For example, he explains the aesthetics of the tea ceremony and its relationship to Zen philosophy as
well as other subjects such as the function of the void in mythology, Buddhism and the arts.
The second part of the book ('A Feeling of Nature') follows a chronological path from ancient times to the present
explaining more specifically how to interpret the different forms of Japanese art (literature, painting, sculpture,
etc.).
The third part of the book ('Art Masters') contains short monographs on Japanese masters in the history of Japanese
art and culture: Zeami Moto, the creator of No theatre; Hokusai, the master of woodblock printing; Yasunai
Kawabata and Mishima Yukio, the writers; and the graphic designer, Tanaka Ikko.
Calza's groundbreaking and insightful text is accompanied by 150 colour images of a great variety of examples from
Japanese art and culture.

In 1967 Danny Lyon spent 14 months embedded within six different Texas penitentiaries. With the backdrop of the
Vietnam war, and the civil rights movement a few years previously, Lyon was a active proponent of liberal ideals.
Having just finished his groundbreaking work, 'The Bikeriders', he was very socio-politically engaged and wanted to
give a voice to the 'dregs' of society. Having persuaded the Texas prison authorities he was an avid supporter of
their system, he was given unprecedented unlimited access to the facilities and the inmates, under the full
cooperation of the authorities. Inside the walls of the prisons, he developed close relationships and friendships with
several inmates, who opened up to him as a confidante. The photographs he took and the ephemera he collected
(letters, official documents and drawings and writings by Billy McCune) during this time are assembled together in
this influential photobook that reveals Lyon's compassionate and uncompromising view of the brutality of the US
judicial system.
The original version of the book, in 1969, appeared as a small unfinished portfolio printed in the print shop of one of
the prisons, 'Walls', and was entitled, Born to Lose. It was supervised by a convict called Smiley (James Renton), who
was also one of its featured subjects (and subject of Lyon's nonfiction book, Like a Thief's Dream). It was first
published as a hardback in 1971 by Holt, Rinehart and Winson.
Having been out of print for over 40 years, Phaidon is now republishing this extraordinary inside view of Texas state
prison, which Martin Parr and Gerry Badger acknowledge 'remains as powerful and as relevant as ever'. Its
publication precedes an retrospective exhibition of Danny Lyon's work at the Whitney Museum of American Art,
New York in Summer 2016, which will travel to the De Young Museum, San Francisco in Fall 2016 and then to
another American institution (TBC).
The physical book itself will be a facsimile edition of the 1971 hardback original. The book will be updated with a
new afterword by Danny Lyon describing what has happened to the inmates since the book was first published.

In a French Kitchen: Tales and Traditions of Everyday Home Cooking in France

A delightful celebration of French life and the cooks who turn even the simplest meals into an occasion.
Even before Susan Herrmann Loomis wrote her now-classic memoir, On Rue Tatin, American readers have been
compelled by books about the French's ease with cooking. With In a French Kitchen, Loomis—an expat who long
ago traded her American grocery store for a bustling French farmer's market—demystifies in lively prose the
seemingly effortless je ne sais quoi behind a simple French meal.
One by one, readers are invited to meet the busy people of Louviers and surrounding villages and towns of Loomis's
adopted home, from runway-chic Edith, who has zero passion for cooking—but a love of food that inspires her to
whip up an array of mouthwatering dishes—to Nathalie, who becomes misty-eyed as she talks about her mother's
Breton cooking, then goes on to reproduce it. Through friends and neighbors like these, Loomis learns that
delicious, even decadent meals don't have to be complicated.
Are French cooks better organized when planning and shopping? Do they have a greater ability to improvise with
whatever they have on hand when unexpected guests arrive? The answer to both is: Yes. But they also have an
innate understanding of food and cooking, are instinctively knowledgeable about seasonal produce, and understand
what combination of simple ingredients will bring out the best of their gardens or local markets.
Thankfully for American readers, In a French Kitchen shares the everyday French tips, secrets, and eighty-five
recipes that allow them to turn every meal into a sumptuous occasion.

Renowned Lombardian chef Alessandro Pavoni believes that cooking and eating are social events, and he celebrates
this each day in his three Sydney restaurants, the two-hatted Ormeggio at the Spit, Chiosco by Ormeggio, and Via
Alta in Willoughby, which specialises in the food of Lombardy. In this beautifully illustrated cookbook, Alessandro
shares the treasured family recipes of his homeland and youth. Located in the north of Italy, Lombardy boasts a
diverse landscape, from snow-covered Italian Alps and lakes, to the plains of the River Po, from where risotto rice
hails. This geographic diversity is reflected in the food – cave-aged cheeses and cured meats, polenta, tender meat
cooked over a wood-fired spit and, of course, risotto. Lombardy is home to some of Italy's most famous dishes,
including osso bucco, bollito misto with salsa verde and mustard fruits and panettone, and Alessandro parts with his
versions of these classics here, along with over 100 more of his treasured recipes, such as Ricotta and Spinach
Gnocchi, Buckwheat Polenta with Sausage and Gorgonzola, Risotto Milanese and Pappardelle with Elsa's Wild Boar
Ragu.

The groundbreaking Fair Food: Inspiring People to Change the World tells the new story of food – the story of how
food and farming in Australia are dramatically transforming at the grassroots to match the transition of our times:
towards reconnection, towards healing – of the land, of each other. It offers a compelling and coherent vision of
how our future can be different from our present and our past, and how each of us can make a difference.
Told through the eyes and lives of several of the leading figures in the unfolding action that is Australia's 'fair food'
movement, this book tells the stories of innovation, from local food hubs and the GE-free movements to opensource software code, community-shared and urban agriculture, radical transparency, ethics of scale, backyard
food-forests and regenerative agriculture.
In a time of bullying corporations, supermarket monopolies and environmental degradation, Fair Food offers
compelling and inspiring stories of personal transformation from 'ordinary' people, showing us that we too can be
powerful agents of change in this time of need.

Grain of Truth: The Real Case For and Against Wheat and Gluten

$55.00 (Royal H/B 230x152mm) Avery 304pp
26 August 2015 9781594632495 Carton
Qty: 32
A Pollan-esque look at the truth about wheat: meal or menace?
No topic in nutrition is more controversial than wheat. While mega-sellers like Grain Brain and Wheat Bellysuggest
that wheat may be the new asbestos, Stephen Yafa finds that it has been wrongly demonized. His revealing book
sets the record straight, breaking down the botany of the wheat plant we've hijacked for our own use, the science
of nutrition and digestion, the effects of mass production on our health, and questions about gluten and fiber— all
to point us towards a better, richer diet.
Wheat may be the most important food in human history, reaching from ancient times to General Mills. Yafa tours
commercial factories where the needs of mass production trump the primacy of nutrition, and reports on the
artisan grain revolution. From a Woodstock-like Kneading Conference to nutrition labs to a boutique bakery and
pasta maker's workshop in Brooklyn, he also finds that there may in fact be a perfect source of wheat-based
nutrition. Its name is sourdough.
For readers of Salt Sugar Fat and The Omnivore's Dilemma, Grain of Truth smoothly blends science, history, biology,
economics, and nutrition to give us back our daily bread.
Before I Forget: How I Survived a Diagnosis of Younger-Onset Dementia

'Some days all I want to do is give up the constant, exhausting struggle and stop trying to be normal. But I can't. It's
not in me to walk away from a fight. I'll keep fighting and telling my story. Before I forget.'
When she was just 46, Christine Bryden – science advisor to the prime minister and single mother of three
daughters – was diagnosed with younger-onset dementia. Doctors told her to get her affairs in order as she would
soon be incapable of doing so. Twenty years later she is still thriving, still working hard to rewire her brain even as it
loses its function.
The unusually slow progress of her condition puts Christine in a unique position to describe the lived experience of
dementia, a condition affecting tens of millions of people worldwide. In this revealing memoir, she looks back on
her life in an effort to understand how her brain – once her greatest asset, now her greatest challenge – works now.
She shares what it's like to start grasping for words that used to come easily. To be exhausted from visiting a new
place. To suddenly realise you don't remember how to drive. To challenge, every day, the stereotype of the 'empty
shell'. Brave and inspiring, this is Christine's legacy for people with dementia and those who care about them.
'Christine teaches us that we are more than what our brains are capable of remembering, that while we can still
breathe and love, we all have something important to contribute to this world.' Lisa Genova, author of bestseller

26 August 2015 9781401938697 Carton
Qty: 1
This 10th-anniversary edition of Bruce Lipton's best-selling book The Biology of Belief will be updated to bolster the
book's central premise with the latest scientific discoveries—and there have been a lot in the last decade.
The Biology of Belief is a groundbreaking work in the field of new biology. Former medical school professor and
research scientist Bruce H. Lipton, Ph.D., presents his experiments, and those of other leading-edge scientists,
which examine in great detail the mechanisms by which cells receive and process information. The implications of
this research radically change our understanding of life, showing that genes and DNA do not control our biology;
instead, DNA is controlled by signals from outside the cell, including the energetic messages emanating from our
positive and negative thoughts. This profoundly hopeful synthesis of the latest and best research in cell biology and
quantum physics has been hailed as a major breakthrough, showing that our bodies can be changed as we retrain
our thinking.
How to love yourself (and sometimes other people): Spiritual Advice for Modern

Qty: 1
How to Love Yourself (and Sometimes Other People) is a smart, hip guide for spiritual seekers who want to
experience more love and stability in all forms of relationships. Told from the unique vantage points of authors
Meggan Watterson and Lodro Rinzler, this book explores staying anchored in the foundation of self-love as you
navigate the natural (and often stormy) cycle of a relationship. Their dual perspectives as teachers and scholars of
Christian mysticism and Buddhism make for a rich and fascinating dialogue that covers everything from sex, selfworth, falling in (and out of) love, deep friendships, to breakups—and how to maintain an open heart through it all.
At its core, this book is about learning to love yourself no matter what. Meggan and Lodro suggest that you are
worthy of love, both self-love and the love of others. They aren't experts on how to get that man or lady to fall in
love with you, nor are they experts on how to have 'the perfect relationship.' They are spiritual teachers who know
that relationships have a life of their own, and can speak to the human element of what it means to experience
them fully. In the process, they share deeply personal, revealing, honest anecdotes and spiritual practices to assist
you with the inevitable ebbs and flow of love in all its manifestations.

It's pernicious . . . it's diabolical . . . it creeps into every moment of our lives. It influences our relationships, impacts

to handle any type of stress that life throws at you. Just as he demystified the practice of meditation in his awardwinning book Secrets of Meditation, here he will teach you proactive tools to breathe more easily, master your
emotions, communicate more effectively, cultivate more nourishing relationships, and perform at a higher level.
With his trademark easy-to-understand and entertaining writing style, davidji will transform your understanding of
stress using time-tested techniques; cutting-edge science; real-world, practical applications; and in-the-moment
stress busters.
How you respond to the world around you determines the fabric of your life—and one read of destressifying will
enhance your performance at work, at home, and in the face of daily surprises. This book will allow you to
determine the speed at which life comes at you and guide you to deeper fulfillment, greater empowerment, and

From Brisbane to Vienna and around the globe, Dr Louise Mahler has given voice a good name. She combines the
skills gained from 15 years of an international opera-singing career, with insider knowledge of the corporate world
and academic study, to help people from all walks of life express themselves through voice — to find their true, full
voice and use it!
In Resonate Louise explains that your mind, body and voice are inextricably linked. Put simply: your state of mind
determines the way you hold your body and thus your feelings resonate through your voice. If you understand how
you react to nerves or excitement, and how people react to your voice and gestures, then you can learn how to
communicate more powerfully.
Have you ever heard yourself saying 'I'm terrified of public speaking' or 'I don't have a powerful voice'? Whether
you're struggling to make your point in a work meeting or a P&C gathering, whether you're going for the next big
job or trying to improve your performance in the one you have, and even if you just want better ways to
communicate with your friends and the people you love, this book will show you how to tune into your own vocal
psyche, identify the physical and mental blocks that are holding you back, and let you take back ownership of your
authentic voice. With its practical exercises, inspiring real-life stories and insightful tips, this book will unlock your
confidence and teach you how to make your message resonate.
I Know How She Does It: How Successful Women Make the Most of their Time

Qty: 1
Balancing work and family life is a constant struggle, especially for women with children and ambitious career goals.
It's been the subject of countless books, articles, blog posts and tweets in the last few years, and passions run high
in all directions.
Now Laura Vanderkam, the acclaimed time management expert, comes at the 'having it all' debate by asking a very
practical question. Given that we all have the same 168 hours every week, how do women with thriving careers and
families use those hours? When you study how such women fit together the pieces of their lives, like tiles in a
mosaic, the results are surprising.
If you work 40 hours and sleep 56 (i.e. 8 times 7) that leaves 72 hours for everything else. Vanderkam explains how
her subjects use those 'everything else' hours; why we work less and have more free time than we think; why it's a
myth that successful women get too little sleep; and how women can have demanding jobs, spouses, and kids, and
still enjoy a healthy amount of downtime.
She shares the time-logs from 1001 days in the lives of women who make at least $100,000 a year and still make
time for their families and friends, for sleep and exercise, and for leisure activities they love. Based on what she
learned from the patterns in those time-logs, she provides a framework for anyone who wants to thrive at both
work and life.

A Beautiful Question: In Pursuit of the Hidden Logic of the Universe

$70.00 (Royal H/B 230x152mm) Allen Lane 256pp

Qty: 1
Is the world a work of art?
Artists and scientists throughout human history have pondered this age-old 'beautiful question', and in this
scientific tour de force, Nobel Prize-winning physicist Frank Wilczek argues that beauty is the fundamental
organizing principle of the entire universe. As he reveals in A Beautiful Question, the universe embodies beautiful
forms - forms whose hallmarks are symmetry, harmony, balance and proportion - and the quest for beauty has
always been at the heart of scientific pursuit.
In a book that stretches from the ancient Greeks to the deep waters of twentieth century physics to the present
day, Wilczek explores just how intertwined our ideas about beauty and art are with our scientific understanding of
the cosmos, from the infinitesimal to the infinite. In the process, he traces the bright lines of thought connecting
Pythagoras's triangles to Plato's solids and Newton's classical equations to Einstein's spooky ones. As he shows us,
the equations for atoms and light are almost literally the same equations that govern musical instruments and
sound; the subatomic particles that are responsible for most of our mass are determined by simple geometric
symmetries.
Gorgeously illustrated, A Beautiful Question is a mind-shifting book that braids the age-old quest for beauty and the
age-old quest for truth into a thrilling synthesis - the universe wants to be beautiful.

Bestselling author David Levithan (co-author of Will Grayson, Will Grayson with John Green) tells Rhiannon's side of
the story as she seeks to discover the truth about love and how it can change you.
Every day is the same for Rhiannon. She has accepted her life, convinced herself that she deserves her distant,
temperamental boyfriend, Justin. She's even established guidelines by which to live: Don't be too needy. Avoid
upsetting him. Never get your hopes up.
But one morning everything changes. Justin wants to be with her for the first time, and they share a perfect day—a
perfect day Justin doesn't remember the next morning.
Confused, depressed and desperate for another great day, Rhiannon starts questioning everything. Until a stranger
tells her that the Justin she spent that day with—the one who made her feel like a real person—wasn't Justin at all.

Every day a different body.
Every day a different life.
Every day in love with the same girl.
Every morning, A wakes in a different person's body, a different person's life. There's never any warning about
where it will be or who it will be. A has made peace with that, even established guidelines by which to live: Never
get too attached. Avoid being noticed. Do not interfere.
And then A wakes up in the body of Justin and meets Justin's girlfriend, Rhiannon. From that moment, the rules by
which A has been living no longer apply. Because A has found someone he wants to be with—day in, day out, day
after day.
Can you love someone who is destined to change each day?
YA superstar author David Levithan brings all his trademark insight to a novel that is edgy, romantic and pageturning. Every Day has a touch of the paranormal and a grounding in the real world.
'Is it too unmanly to say that this breathless book made me cry? It is? OK, well then I'll just say this book is terrific,

Baby's bedtime is more cuddly than ever!
Tired little eyes,
ready now for bed,
Tired little everything,
precious sleepyhead.
By the end of a busy day, little knees are tired from crawling, little arms are tired from stretching—even little lips
are tired from blowing kisses. But with the help of gentle verse, and art as sweet as a bedtime lullaby, tired little
eyes will quickly give way to sleep.
Shhh . . .
'McPike's rhyming tale flows as smoothly as a lullaby, describing a child's body parts, from ' tired little toes' to 'tired
little everything' as a variety of 'precious little sleepyheads' are prepared for bed . . . Barton's illustrations show a
variety of babies, siblings, and caregivers. . . . An excellent choice for bedtime-themed programs or one-on-one
nighttime routines.' School Library Journal
'Try holding still while reading 'Tired little arms, stretching up so high, Tired little hands, waving bye, bye, bye.'
Acting out these lines and, additionally, 'Tired little toes, wiggling one to ten,' for example, will promote language
development and prove great fun for babies and young toddlers to mimic . . . In the crowded field of bedtime
books, this is a very sweet nighttime send-off for the littlest yawners.' Kirkus Reviews

Chelsea is the hardest worker in her gymnastics club and she's determined to make the Nationals team, and then

issues to worry about and her school friends are acting weird.

island across the creek where he can escape his troublesome family.The only way to reach Terabithia is by ropeswing where Jess and Leslie become King and Queen, defeating giants, sharing stories and dreams, and plotting
against their enemies. They are invincible - until tragedy strikes. It is more dreadful than anything Jess had ever
dreamed of, but as he struggles to cope with his grief and anger, he finds that his family value him more than he'd
thought and that, still King, he could even save Terabithia for the future.

This is the story of a cat, a broomstick and an ordinary schoolgirl called Rosemary. She bought them both in the
market, quite cheaply. Of course, neither the cat nor the broomstick were just what they seemed, and they turned
up just when Rosemary badly needed something nice to happen to her. A good cat is apt to be independent, so she
did not have things all her own way, and as Carbonel proved to be a Royal cat in a very special sense, that was
understandable. Between the cat and the broomstick, Rosemary picked up some useful spells and magic, and the
adventures they brought about turned a dull-looking holiday into one long to be remembered for its unexpected
excitements and rewards.

Genetically engineered identical twins Kyle and Connor McAdams were born two years apart. Their parents figured
it was safer that way, to increase their odds of survival. Connor was born first, paving an impossibly perfect path for
Kyle to follow. He was the best at everything—valedictorian, star quarterback etc. Kyle never thought he'd be able
to live up, so he didn't even try.
But when Connor, 18, suddenly drops dead of a heart attack, and Kyle learns of other genetically modified kids
who've also died on their eighteenth birthdays, he's suddenly motivated—to save his own life. Like Connor and all
the rest, Kyle was conceived at the Genesis Innovations Laboratory, where the mysterious Dr. Mueller conducted
experiments on them. The clock's ticking as Kyle searches for answers: who was Dr. Mueller really, and what did he
do to cause their hearts to stop at eighteen? He must unravel the clues quickly, before, he too, becomes another
perfect, blue-eyed corpse.
