The new draft pick, the tired has-been, the up-and-comer, the might-have-been. The talent scout, the coach on the edge, the
beleaguered umpire, the concerned medic. The number-one fan, the lifetime members, the desperate gamblers. The footballers' mums,
the WAGs, the groupies. The tags, the rivals, the sledging. The pressure. Mick Reece and Jake Dooley, best mates since childhood, begin
their firstnprofessional season playing AFL with little notion of what they're getting into: the complexity of the beast that the game must
feed. In Game Day, Miriam Sved brings this beast into the light over the course of one season of Aussie Rules. What unfolds is a deeply
insightful novel about the pathology of an AFL club, its players and its fans. Revelling in their battles, their victories and their relentless
interdependence, Game Day asks whether what unites the true believers is stronger than what divides them, and if love of the game
can transcend our flaws and imperfections to result in something beautiful. Sved's debut novel is a poignant and clear-eyed exploration
of what sport means for Australians, and the intensity with which we pursue and cherish it.

Their unlikely friendship intensifies through a secret language where they share confidences about their unusual mothers, first loves, and
growing up in the small coastal town of Juniper Bay. Their lives become as entwined as Annabelle's initials engraved beneath the de
Longland kitchen table.
But the euphoria of youth rarely lasts, and the implosion that destroys their friendship leaves lasting scars and a legacy of self-doubt
that haunts Lulu into adulthood.
Years later, Lulu is presented with a choice: remain the perpetual good girl who misses out, or finally step out from the shadows and do
something extraordinary. And possibly unforgiveable.
It's not how far you fall, but how high you bounce.

over the years, as the world around it has moved on at an ever more dizzying rate, the hotel has struggled to keep pace. Graham, the
Alpha's concierge, has been behind the front desk since the day the hotel opened and has witnessed every stage of its history. Chaz,
Howard's blind adopted son, has almost never ventured outside its walls. Both of them view the Alpha as their sanctuary, the place that
gives them everything they need. But both of them must now accept that the Alpha no longer offers them the life they most want, and
that Howard's vision has been built on secrets as well as dreams . . .

Fifteen thousand years after the War of the Gods and their corpses now lie scattered across the world, slowly dying as men and women
awake with strange powers that are derived from their bodies. While some see these powers as a gift - most call them a curse. When
Ayae, a young cartographer's apprentice in the city of Mireea, is trapped in a burning building she is terrified as this dormant power
comes to life within her. The flames destroy everything around her but she remains unscathed - fire cannot touch her. This curse makes
her a target for the army marching on her home - an army determined to reclaim the corpse of the God Ger, who lies dying beneath the
city, and harness his power for themselves. Zaifyr, a man adorned in the ancient charms, also arrives in Mireea. His arrival draws the
attention of two of the 'children of the gods', Fo and Bau, powerful, centuries old beings who consider themselves immortal. All three will
offer different visions for Ayae's powers - and whatever choice she makes will result in new enemies.

the bars of a county jail cell. John Gload, so brutally adept at his craft that only now, at the age of 71, has he faced the prospect of longterm incarceration; and Valentine Millimaki, low man in the Copper County sheriff's department, who draws the overnight shift after
Gload's arrest, tasked with getting the killer to talk about a string of unsolved murders. With a disintegrating marriage now further
collapsing under the strain of his night duty, and his safety threatened from within his own department, Millimaki finds himself seeking
counsel from a remorseless criminal. The strange intimacy of their connection takes a startling turn with a brazen act of violence, a
manhunt, and a stunning revelation that leave Gload's past and Millimaki's future forever entwined.

"In a voice that evokes the great contemporary Western landscape, Kim Zupan's debut novel The Ploughmen weaves a gripping
tale both personal and epic. This is a story of two men, a deputy and his prisoner, and the uncommon bond forged between them.
A stunning work from the first pages to the last, this is a book that will not let down." Claire Davis, author of Winter Range and
Labors of the Heart
"The Ploughmen is simply splendid; lyrical, surprising, authoritative and starkly honest in its rendering of the human soul. The
relationships between Mr. Zupan's complex and heartbreaking characters gripped me from the first page and have left me
wondering still at the grace that affords us moments of generosity and compassion." Mark Spragg, author of An Unfinished Life

Tripoli, 1960s. During the years in which post-colonial Libya fell prey to the sprawling greed of the West, Michele Balistreri suffered a
succession of blows that would scar him for life. The death of his mother; the unspeakable horror that befell his best friend's family; his
father's role in Gaddafi's ascent to power; and the innocent blood pact that would corrupt the course of his future. Rome, 1982. In the
wake of a ruinous blunder, a ground-down Commissario Balistreri escapes his regrets through sex, alcohol and gambling. His sole
responsibilities are now a stilted investigation into the death of a South American student, and a tiresome obligation - as a gratitude to
the man who saved his career - to a rising television starlet needing protection from the pitfalls of fame. As the risks to this girl, Claudia
Teodori, begin to rise along with her reputation, the sorrows of Balistreri's past also start to push back into his present. Both of their
fates are inextricably linked - and this driven, obsessive young woman must help this damaged detective fight a foe that follows her and
refuses to forget him.

Everyone in Painters Mill knows the abandoned Hochstetler farm is haunted. But only a handful of the residents remember the terrible
secrets lost in the muted/hushed whispers of time-and now death is stalking them, seemingly from the grave. On a late-night shift, Chief
of Police Kate Burkholder is called to the scene of an apparent suicide-an old man found hanging from the rafters in his dilapidated barn.
But evidence quickly points to murder and Kate finds herself chasing a singularly difficult and elusive trail of evidence that somehow
points back to the tragedy of that long ago incident. Meanwhile, Kate has moved in with state agent John Tomasetti and for the first time
in so long, they're both happy; a bliss quickly shattered when one of the men responsible for the murders of Tomasetti's family four
years ago is found not guilty, and walks away a free man. Will Tomasetti be pulled back to his own haunted past? When a second man is
found dead - also seemingly by his own hand-Kate discovers a link in the case that sends the investigation in a direction no one could
imagine and revealing the horrifying truth of what really happened that terrible night thirty-five years ago, when an Amish father and his
four children perished-and his young wife disappeared without a trace. And, as Kate knows-the past never truly dies . . . in The Dead
Will Tell by Linda Castillo . . .

Isabel Montgomery had an unusual upbringing. It started conventionally enough: she was the daughter of an actress and a lawyer, living
in small-town America. But this was all shattered when, as a seven-year-old, she was abandoned by her father in a New York hotel room
and everything she knew fell apart. Her father, it turned out, wasn't the man he said he was, but was actually one of America's most
wanted fugitives, owing to his involvement in a notorious bank robbery. You're A Big Girl Now picks up the story some years later.
Isabel is now a 27 year-old tech-savvy, freelance investigative journalist, one of the USA's best, despite some self-medication problems.
She decides to turn her skills on her own family in the hope of finally understanding the truth about her grandfather, her father and
everything that's happened to her. A smart, page-turning, emotional and political thriller with a fantastic female protagonist, You're A
Big Girl Now will see the launch of Neil Gordon's writing in the UK.

There's nothing so terrifying as money. . . Two friends, Alex Glass and Oliver Peterkinney, look for work and for escape from their lives
spent growing up in Glasgow's most desperate fringes. Soon they will become involved in one of the city's darkest and most dangerous

and Billy Patterson, brutal newcomer - vie for prominence. And now Peterkinney, young and darkly ambitious, is beginning to make
himself known . . . Before long, violence will spill out onto the streets, as those at the top make deadly attempts to out-manoeuvre one
another for a bigger share of the spoils. Peterkinney and Glass will find themselves at the very centre of this war; and as the pressure
builds, each will find their actions - and inactions - coming back to haunt them. But it is those they love who will suffer most . . . From

beyond the grave is her son. The son whom she'd only spoken to an hour before. Then the body of a young man is found inside a
neolithic stone circle high above the city of Glasgow and forensic scientist Rhona Macleod is soon on the case. The hands have been
severed and there is a stone in the victim's mouth with the number five scratched on it. DI Michael McNab is certain it's a gangland

on masterminding a gruesome Druidic game that everyone will be forced to play .. .

Danny North knew from early childhood that his family was different, and that he was different from them. While his cousins were
learning how to create the things that commoners called fairies, ghosts, golems, trolls, werewolves, and other such miracles that were
the heritage of the North family, Danny worried that he would never show a talent, never form an outself. He grew up in the rambling
old house, filled with dozens of cousins, and aunts and uncles, all ruled by his father. Their home was isolated in the mountains of
western Virginia, far from town, far from schools, far from other people. There are many secrets in the House, and many rules that
Danny must follow. There is a secret library with only a few dozen books, and none of them in English - but Danny and his cousins are
expected to become fluent in the language of the books. While Danny's cousins are free to create magic whenever they like, they must
never do it where outsiders might see. Unfortunately, there are some secrets kept from Danny as well. And that will lead to disaster for
the North family.

Marie Dunwoody has all the trappings of the successful modern woman: a lovely husband, three wonderful children, a detached house
and a professional career. Except, she can’t bake for toffee. Her cupcakes are crap. Her meringues are all runny, her sponges flat, her
biscuits rock-hard. But that’s precisely why Waitrose was invented, right? But Marie can’t ignore the disappointed looks from her family
any more, or continue to be shamed by neighbour and nemesis, Lucy Gray. Lucy, ever the domestic goddess, whips up perfect
profiteroles and luscious layer cakes with one hand, while ironing her bed sheets with the other. Marie’s had enough: this is the year she
kicks baking butt. And she’s not alone for long: husband Robert has clocked that his boss can be swayed by a good shortbread or two
and so takes up the pinny and roling pin himself, seeing as serious redundancies are on the horizon. Twins Rose and Iris are happy to
eat all the half-baked mistakes that come their way as things heat up in the kitchen, but big brother Angus is more distant than usual, as
if something is troubling him. And there is no one more nosey than nine-year-old girls… With family life as jumbled as a Rocky Road
slice, will Marie banish her baking demons? Can Robert save the wobbling soufflé that is his career? And is there more to Lucy’s sugarcoated life than meets the eye? This is a laugh-out loud novel, perfect for fans of Jenny Colgan and Allison Pearson. *** This is a work of
fiction, in no way endorsed by Mary Berry, and where neither Mary Berry herself nor her recipes feature. ***
Author Biography
Claire Sandy lives in Surrey with a husband and a daughter and loves lots of things, such as baking, reading, writing, eating, chatting
about matters of global importance with her nine year old, dressing up her dog and inventing new things to do with gin. She's worked at
many things - advertising, radio jingles, a wool shop - and thanks her lucky stars that writing What Would Mary Berry Do? involved
every single item on her list of loved things.

"Montalbano opened the door to step out. But Gallo held him back, putting one hand on his arm. 'What's in there, Chief?' 'If it's what I
think, it's something so horrific that it'll haunt your dreams for the rest of your life . . .'" When a crazed elderly man and his sister begin
firing bullets from their balcony down onto the Vigata street below, Inspector Montalbano finds himself a reluctant television hero. A few
days later, when a letter arrives containing a mysterious riddle, the Inspector becomes drawn into a perplexing treasure hunt set by an
anonymous challenger. As the hunt intensifies, Montalbano is relieved to be offered the assistance of Arturo Pennisi, a young man eager
to witness the detective's investigative skills first hand. Fending off meddling commissioners and his irate girlfriend, Livia, the inspector
will follow the treasure hunt's clues and travel from Vigata's teeming streets to its deserted outskirts: where an abandoned house
overlooks a seemingly bottomless lake. But when a horrifying crime is committed, the game must surely be laid aside. And it isn't long
before Montalbano himself will be in terrible danger . . .

Bavaria, Germany, 1947. At the end of the war, Afra Zauner returns to her parents' cottage on the edge of Mauther Forest. Unmarried,
and pregnant. As she struggles to raise her child, her father's shame, her mother's fury and the loud whispers of the neighbours begin to
weigh upon her. She doesn't believe in her sin. But everyone else does. And someone brings judgement down upon her. Many years
later, Hermann Müller is throwing a drunk out of his tavern. A traveller, who won't stop ranting about a murder left unsolved, about
police who never investigated. Out of curiousity, the file is reopened. And in the cold light of hindsight, a chilling realisation creeps upon
the community. No-one ever atoned for Afra's death. But her story is waiting to be told. Andrea Maria Schenkel returns to the form of
her groundbreaking The Murder Farm, narrating through suspects, victims and investigators to lead the reader to their own awful
understanding.

Four families live in a beautiful stretch of English countryside in magnificent listed houses, built for the old aristocracy. They are the new
aristocracy and the elite of their village: financiers, business tycoons, lawyers, doctors, magistrates. They leave their rural idyll only to
commute first-class to London for meetings, deals and theatre outings or Heathrow flights to winter sun or half-term skiing. They and
their children are protected by investments, pensions and expensive security systems. But the money is running out in Britain, and as
tensions and relationships develop within the group of friends, finally, deep in the English winter, an unthinkable act of violence destroys
these dream lives and demonstrates that the biggest threat may come from unexpected places. This horrific act happens on the first
pages but Lawson provides dramatic twists and false turns and it is only by the end of the book that we discover who the victims are and
who committed the crime.

The Red Thread
A Chinese Tale of Love and Fate in 1830s Singapore (Vol.1 in The Straits
Quartet)
Dawn Farnham
Description
Like Chinese silk, The Red Thread is, by turns, gentle and strong, exploring a love that breaks through the divide of race and culture, a
love that is both deeply physical and a marriage of souls. Set against the backdrop of 1830s Singapore where piracy, crime, triads and
tigers are commonplace, this cultural romance follows the struggle of two lovers: Zhen, once the lowliest of Chinese coolies and triad
member, later chosen to marry into a Peranakan family of Baba Chinese merchants; and Charlotte, an 18-year-old Scots girl and sister
of Singapore's Chief of Police. Two cultures bound together by the invisible threads of fate yet separated by cultural diversity.

The Hills of Singapore
A Landscape of Loss, Longing and Love (Vol.3 in The Straits Quartet)
Dawn Farnham
Description
In Volume 3 of The Straits Quartet, young, beautiful and wealthy widow Charlotte Macleod leaves Batavia in the 1850s and returns to
Singapore for the English education of her two young sons. She is determined not to be drawn back into a secret affair with Zhen, the
married Chinese merchant, triad-member and man she loves who is, unbeknownst to him, the father of her eldest son, Alex. Charlotte is
convinced she can find happiness in a respectable marriage with the attractive but reticent Captain Maitland. But when murder and death
strike, Singapore erupts in the violence of triad wars and Zhen's growing affection for Alex gives cause for alarm, she must make some
hard decisions, for her children and herself. Drawing on the real-life historical personalities of the time, Dawn Farnham mixes fact and
fiction to paint a rich portrait of mid-nineteenth-century Singapore and the realm of the White Rajah of Sarawak, at a time when triads,
piracy and crime were rife and life in colonial Southeast Asia was anything but safe.

The English Concubine
Passion and Power in 1860s Singapore (Vol.4 in The Straits Quartet)
Dawn Farnham
Description
In the fourth and final volume of the The Straits Quartet, Charlotte Macleod is the English concubine. Her love affair with Zhen,
wealthy Chinese merchant, is an open scandal to both the English and the Chinese communities. Singapore in 1860 is a vice-ridden town
filled 'with the dregs of humanity from two continents'. Opium makes up half of the British Empire's trade in the East and, from
Singapore, the Chinese triads control the vast distribution of chandu, the refined opium, which is spread through the south seas. Turf
wars are fought on the high seas and on the streets of Chinatown to control the mighty profits of this trade. The colonial government,
impoverished and ineffectual, can do nothing about it. Only the Chinese godfather, the Lord of the Kongsi, has that power through his
control of the coolie, prostitute and opium trade.

She felt Ramón come awake and spring from the bed, naked and lithe as a jungle cat. She heard the metallic snicker of a firearm as he
snatched the pistol from the holster. In the darkness a yellow flower of gun-flamed bloomed, and a single bullet whiplashed across
twenty yards of open ground... In the searing heat of a divided Africa two decades of bitter dynastic conflict explode with terrifying
ferocity. To Gary and Sean Courtney it is a struggle to the end; brother pitted against brother as they are dragged unwittingly into the
lair of an international terrorist. Only Isabella Courtney stands between them and the mutual destruction they have willed for so long.
Beautiful, headstrong Isabella; the link to 'Golden Fox' - a man whose alias hides a sinister and deadly secret . . . Traversing a vast
panorama, from the heart of London society to the grandeur of Spain, from parched Ethiopia to war-torn Angola and on to the blazing
hunting grounds of South Africa and Zimbabwe, Golden Fox is masterful storytelling from the arena of war; an adventure of stirring,
irresistible intensity.

On Wings of Eagles is the account of an incredible rescue by a Green Beret colonel and a group of corporate executives hastily trained
into a fighting team. When Ross Perot, millionaire head of the Dallas-based company EDS, discovered that two of his key men in Iran
had been jailed, he turned to the one man in America who could help. Colonel 'Bull' Simons, famed World War II and Vietnam
commando, agreed to do what the US government could not - go in and get the men out. This is the stuff of Follett's fiction - a secret
penetration into a dangerous territory; a dramatic jailbreak; a harrowing overland escape to the Turkish border - and all the more
extraordinary because it is fact.

On the night Brian Bishop murdered his wife he was sixty miles away, asleep in bed at the time. At least that's the way it looks to
Detective Superintendent Roy Grace, who is called in to investigate the kinky slaying of beautiful socialite, Katie Bishop. Grace soon
starts coming to the conclusion that Bishop has performed the apparently impossible feat of being in two places at once. Has someone
stolen his identity or is he simply a very clever liar? As Grace digs deeper behind the façade of the Bishops' outwardly respectable lives,
it becomes clear that everything is not at all as it first seemed. Then he digs just a little too far, and suddenly the fragile stability of his
own troubled, private world is facing destruction...

Life would seem to have gone well for George Mason. His days as a criminal defence lawyer are long behind him. At fifty-nine, he has sat
as a judge on the Court of Appeals in Kindle County for nearly a decade. Yet, when a disturbing rape case is brought before him, the
judge begins to question the very nature of the law and his role within it. What is troubling George Mason so deeply? Is it his wife's
recent diagnosis? Or the strange and threatening emails he has started to receive? And what is it about this horrific case of sexual
assault, now on trial in his courtroom, that has led him to question his fitness to judge? In Limitations, Scott Turow, the master of the
legal thriller, returns to Kindle County with a page-turning entertainment that asks the biggest questions of all. Ingeniously, and with
great economy of style, Turow probes the limitations not only of the law, but of human understanding itself.

The way we nurture our babies, from their earliest moments, has a lifelong effect on their health and happiness. What many of us have
known instinctively is now a matter of science. Study after study proves that how we hold, feed, play with and settle our babies is a
major factor in their long-term wellbeing. Dr Howard Chilton has been a neonatologist (a babies' physician) for over thirty years. He has
seen numerous baby-care fads come and go, but has always held to the philosophy now proved by science: you can't give your baby too
much love. In Your Cherished Baby, Dr Chilton introduces mothers to a complete approach for settling, feeding and engaging their 0-2
infants. He explains the neurological processes of both baby and mother in this early bonding period. He debunks the myth of baby
routines, provides a compelling explanation for colic and excessive crying, and argues for the introduction of varied foods to aid the
development of a child's palette and to guard against obesity later in life. Most prevalent to many a sleep-deprived parent, Dr Chilton
presents a practical alternative to controlled crying, a currently popular sleep settling technique that he regards as inhumane. Accessible,
compassionate and occasionally controversial, Your Cherished Baby is the essential guide to giving babies the best possible start in
life.

As we know, parenting books have huge potential. Baby Love has sold around 170,000 copies; Save our Sleep, 92,000 copies.
Parents are desperate for advice on sleep and settling techniques; Chilton provides a clear alternative to and takes issue with
controlled crying, a technique made popular by Tizzie Hall in Save our Sleep.
Neurological research is fast becoming a mainstream interest (note the success of books like The Brain that Changes Itself and
The Whole Child Brain). Chilton's medical and science training means he knows how to access the neurological research on infant
development, while his hospital and clinic work give him insight into how to make that research accessible to a general audience.
Dr Chilton's first book, Baby on Board, has sold 4,200 copies (and 2,000 copies direct); this was a generic baby guide so
struggled against heavy hitters in the trade. By comparison, Your Cherished Baby focuses on Chilton's areas of specific interest
and expertise and in terms of its message and philosophy, provides a clear alternative to other titles.

A revealing memoir from Mark Donaldson: the first Australian since 1969 to be decorated with the Victoria Cross.

On 2 September 2008, in a valley in eastern Afghanistan, Trooper Mark Donaldson made a split-second decision that would change his

The Jail Busters: The Secret Story of MI6
Robert Lyman
Description
In February 1944, the French Resistance in the Amiens area was in turmoil. Its strength had been decimated by German aggression and
the work of a number of traitors in their midst, and hundreds of its members languished in the city's formidable jail, awaiting an almost
certain death at the hands of their captors. When two Allied intelligence officers were incarcerated alongside them it became clear that
immediate action was imperative. What followed was a precision air attack on the prison, of hitherto unrivalled daring, carried out by the
RAF's elite 2nd Tactical Air Force. These pilots' bravery and skill created a breach in the prison's walls that allowed the Nazi's captives to
break free. Whilst many were recaptured, and controversy over the true reasons for the raid's authorisation rages to this day, Operation
Jericho remains one of the most audacious and innovative missions ever flown.

In The Assassination of the Archduke, Greg King and Sue Woolmans offer readers a vivid account of the lives - and cruel deaths - of
Franz Ferdinand and his beloved Sophie. Combining royal biography, romance, and political assassination, the story unfolds against a
backdrop of glittering privilege and an Imperial Court consumed with hatred, taking readers from Bohemian castles to the horrors of Nazi
concentration camps in a compelling, fascinating human drama. As moving as the fabled romance of Nicholas and Alexandra, as dramatic
as Mayerling, Sarajevo resonates with love and loss, triumph and tragedy in a vibrant and powerful narrative. It lays bare the lethal
circumstances surrounding that fateful Sunday morning in 1914, examining not only the Serbian conspiracy that killed Franz and Sophie
but also insinuations about the hidden powers in Vienna that may well have sent them to their deaths. With a Foreword from the
Archduke's great-granddaughter, Princess Sophie von Hohenberg, and drawing on a wide variety of unpublished sources and with unique
access to previously restricted Hungarian and Czech archives, including Sophie's diaries and family papers, King and Woolmans have
written the most comprehensive account of this momentous event available in English. In doing so, they offer readers an intriguing and
startlingly revisionist look at this most famous of Archdukes, his family, and their momentous collision with destiny in 1914.
Author Biography
Greg King is the author of eleven previously published books, including the bestselling The Duchess of Windsor and the internationally

Grand Duchess's memoirs, 25 Chapters of My Life. She lives in London.

They were hardened criminals, fresh out of jail or on the run from the law, or fleeing family responsibilities or debts.
Once in uniform, some became persistent deserters, fleeing the training depots before embarkation. Those who did make it overseas
spent much of the time going AWL to avoid being sent to the front.
There were some who showed great courage and endeavour while under fire, and were awarded medals and citations. In most cases,
however, the encouragement failed to distract them from their misbehaviour.

Others used their military training to expand their unlawful enterprises overseas, joining gangs of like-minded desperate diggers. And

From aitch to amazeballs, from mondegreens to man boobs, there is no topic too controversial or complex for Australia's most influential
editor, Susan Butler. Sue, long-time editor of the Macquarie Dictionary, takes you on an insightful, often hilarious exploration of the
words you think you know and a few you've never heard. She looks at why we keep changing our pronunciation of Beijing, when to use a
hyphen, why we really should just take a stand and ban the apostrophe, and why saying 'Haitch' once meant social death in certain
circles.
This beautifully designed, quirky gift book is sure to delight word lovers and language aficionados from Melbourne to Mooloolaba.

Eat, Shoots and Leaves by Lyn Truss?
Susan Butler is Australia's best known and most respected language expert. As Editor of the Macquarie Dictionary she has
engaged in a long conversation, through letters, emails and the odd irate phone call about 'what is happening to the English

When did making babies get to be so hard? Infertility is on the rise globally, affecting as many as one in six couples. But instead of
considering diet and lifestyle factors, doctors pump their patients full of expensive and invasive fertility treatments. Once pregnant,
women just accept that carrying a baby will be the gassy, swollen, irritable, sleepless nightmare that has become the new normal-and
then assume that new motherhood will be just as challenging, from breastfeeding woes to screaming fits. It doesn't have to be that way.
In The Kind Mama, Alicia Silverstone has created a comprehensive and practical guide empowering women to take charge of their
fertility, pregnancy, and first 6 months with baby. Drawing on her own experience, as well as that of obstetricians, midwives,
nutritionists, holistic health counselors, and others, Silverstone offers advice on getting one's "baby house" in order through nutrientrocking foods that heal and nourish, and, once pregnant, gentle ways to boost comfort, energy, and health during each trimester. She
helps readers navigate everything from prenatal testing and birth plans to successful breastfeeding and creating a supportive "baby
nest." The result is an authoritative, one-stop guide that empowers women to trust their instincts during this vital milestone, while
helping them embark on a healthy and more vibrant path to motherhood.

Forty years ago, a flashy new rugby league competition, the 'Amco Cup', was launched. Played under lights, televised live on Wednesday
nights with commentary by a young Ray Warren, it was supposed to be won by one of the rich Sydney clubs. Instead, the trophy went to
Western Division, a team from western NSW that included a timber cutter, a slaughterman, a greyhound trainer, a policeman, a brickie,
miners and farmers. One player, a balding back-rower nicknamed 'TV Ted' Ellery, became an instant celebrity. Along the way, TV Ted
and his mates fought a match against Great Britain that might have been the most violent football game ever played. Three players were
sent off and the referee needed a police escort to get not just out of the ground but out of town. Ian Heads has in effect written two
books in one: describing in vivid detail a memorable season highlighted by an implausible triumph ... and revisiting the players to
discover what has become of them. Their stories are mostly joyful, occasionally sad, full of character. The tale told by the referee of the
Great Britain encounter, a family secret until Heads came upon it in the course of his research, is one of the most revealing and
controversial ever published. The Night the Music Died is the classic story of the underdog winning against all odds. It could be the
sporting book of the year.

league coach Wayne Bennett (published in 2002), has sold more than 150,000 copies.
The events of the book, and 'TV Ted', will be recalled by most sports-loving men aged 45 or more. That is, fathers and
grandfathers.
The story of the 'most violent game ever played' and the referee's account of the match, unpublished until now, will cause great
controversy.
The book has the full support of the NRL, the NSW Rugby League and the Country Rugby League.
Publicity support is expected from (among others) News Limited, Channel Nine, 2GB, Fairfax Radio, ABC Radio (including ABC

As A SEAL and combat medic, Mark served his country with valorous distinction for almost twenty-five years and survived some of the
most dangerous combat actions imaginable. From the rigors of BUD/S training to the horrors of the battlefield, Battle Ready
dramatically immerses the reader in the unique life of the elite warrior-medic who advances into combat with life-saving equipment in
one hand and life-taking weapons in the other. It is also an uplifting human story that reveals how a young Hispanic American
bootstrapped himself out of a life that promised a dead-end future by enlisting in the military. That new life begins with the Marines and
includes his heroic achievements on the battlefield and the operating table, and finally, of his inspirational triumph over the demons
caused by Post Traumatic Stress Disorder that threatened to destroy him and his family.

This is the story of one woman who could be any woman: she could be you or your wife or your
sister or your mother. She is given one diagnosis, one choice - until the realisation sinks in: there are untold options, unlimited potential.
At 52 Ariena feels there is a lot in her life to be thankful for: her loving husband and family, her beautiful grandson her good health,
until... overnight all this changes. A lump in her breast is diagnosed as a highly aggressive form of breast cancer and she is given six
months to live. After the initial shock, Ariena questions the logic of the choices the medical profession is offering her and decides to take
matters into her own hands. She makes radical changes to her lifestyle that lead to her being completely 'cured'. Raw Can Cure Cancer
is not a text book, not a how-to manual, not a recipe book. It is, however, a highly thought provoking, inspirational story, revealing the
recipe for life and living, and encouraging us to make choices born of a simple conscious thought.

For many young women, the 1920s felt like a promise of liberty. It was a period when they dared to shorten their skirts and shingle their
hair, to smoke, drink, take drugs and to claim sexual freedoms. In an era of soaring stock markets, consumer expansion, urbanization
and fast travel, women were reimagining both the small detail and the large ambitions of their lives. In Flappers, acclaimed biographer
Judith Mackrell follows a group of six women – Diana Cooper, Nancy Cunard, Tallulah Bankhead, Zelda Fitzgerald, Josephine Baker and
Tamara de Lempicka – who, between them, exemplified the range and daring of that generation’s spirit. For them, the pursuit of
experience was not just about dancing the Charleston and wearing fashionable clothes. They made themselves prominent among the
artists, icons, and heroines of their age, pursuing experience in ways that their mothers could never have imagined, seeking to define
what it was to be young and a woman in an age where the smashing of old certainties had thrown the world wide open. Talented,
reckless and wilful, with personalities that transcended their class and background, they re-wrote their destinies in remarkable,
entertaining and sometimes tragic ways. And between them they blazed the trail of the New Woman around the world.
Author Biography
Judith Mackrell is a celebrated dance critic, writing first for the Independent and now for the Guardian. Her biography of the Russian
ballerina Lydia Lopokova, Bloomsbury Ballerina, was shortlisted for the Costa Biography Award. She has also appeared on television
and radio, as well as writing on dance, co-authoring The Oxford Dictionary of Dance. She lives in London with her family.

"I took hold of the fence and pressed my face into the wire, asking myself what I had done to be made a prisoner?" On the Indonesian
island of Java, eight-year-old Lise enjoys a happy childhood, thousands of miles away from the war raging in Europe. Then, one day in
1942, her friends and neighbours start to disappear. For two years, Lise and her family were imprisoned in POW camps, surviving
starvation, illness and brutal treatment at the hands of their Japanese captors - but they never gave up hope. This is the remarkable true
story of a little girl who, even in the darkest depths of war, was able to look beyond the barbed wire, to a time when she would be free.

They were branded as cowards and accused of being the British Special Forces Squadron that
ran away from the Iraqis. But nothing could be further from the truth. Ten years on, the story of
these sixty men can finally be told. In March 2003 M Squadron - an SBS unit with SAS embeds - was sent 1,000 kilometres behind
enemy lines on a true mission impossible, to take the surrender of the 100,000-strong Iraqi Army 5th Corps. From the very start their
tasking earned the nickname 'Operation No Return'. Caught in a ferocious ambush by thousands of die-hard fanatics from Saddam
Hussein's Fedayeen, plus the awesome firepower of the 5th Corps' heavy armour, and with eight of their vehicles bogged in Iraqi
swamps, M Squadron launched a desperate bid to escape, inflicting massive damage on their enemies. Running low on fuel and
ammunition, outnumbered,
outmanoeuvred and outgunned, the elite operators destroyed sensitive kit and prepared for death or capture as the Iraqis closed their
deadly trap. Zero Six Bravo recounts in vivid and compelling detail the most desperate battle fought by British and allied Special Forces
trapped behind enemy lines since World War Two. It is a classic account of elite soldiering that ranks with Bravo Two Zero and the very
greatest Special Forces missions of our time.

One L, Scott Turow's journal of his first year at law school introduces and a best-seller when it was first published in 1977, has gone on
to become a virtual bible for prospective law students. Not only does it introduce with remarkable clarity the ideas and issues that are
the stuff of legal education; it brings alive the anxiety and competiveness--with others and, even more, with oneself--that set the tone in
this crucible of character building. Turow's multidimensional delving into his protagonists' psyches and his marvelous gift for suspense
prefigure the achievements of his celebrated first novel, Presumed Innocent, one of the best-selling and most talked about books of
1987. Each September, a new crop of students enter Harvard Law School to begin an intense, often gruelling, sometimes harrowing year
of introduction to the law. Turow's group of One Ls are fresh, bright, ambitious, and more than a little daunting. Even more impressive
are the faculty: Perini, the dazzling, combative professor of contracts, who presents himself as the students' antagonist in their struggle
to master his subject; Zechman, the reserved professor of torts who seems so indecisive the students fear he cannot teach; and Nicky
Morris, a young, appealing man who stressed the humanistic aspects of law. Will the One Ls survive? Will they excel? Will they make the
Law Review, the outward and visible sign of success in this ultra-conservative microcosm? With remarkable insight into both his fellows
and himself, Turow leads us through the ups and downs, the small triumphs and tragedies of the year, in an absorbing and throughtprovoking narrative that teaches the reader not only about law school and the law but about the human beings who make them what
they are.
Author Biography
Scott Turow is a writer and attorney. He is the author of nine bestselling works of fiction, including his first novel, Presumed Innocent
(1987) and his most recent, Innocent. Mr Turow has been a partner in the Chicago office of Sonnenschein Nath and Rosenthal, a

In the tough, adrenaline-fueled world of Australian Football, Dustin Fletcher is a legend. In 2014, the 39-year-old Essendon Bomber runs
out for his 22nd season not only as the oldest man in the game, but also one of the best-loved by sports fans, commentators, coaches
and fellow players alike. Fletch tells Fletcher's incredible true story in his own words: from his beginnings growing up as the son of
Essendon legend Ken Fletcher to his prodigal son debut aged just 17, and his meteoric rise with premiership-winning dream team "The
Baby Bombers" led by iconic coach Kevin Sheedy and star teammate James Hird. Fletcher's up-close-and-personal insights into the latter
during the biggest scandal to ever rock the game, the ASADA drugs-in-sport investigation that rocked Essendon in 2013, make for
riveting reading and offer, for the first time, an insider's view of this ongoing saga. It's just one of many revelations in this remarkable
autobiography which takes us behind the scenes of a famous footballing life with all its on-field action, off-field controversies and
personal dramas. Honest, explosive, poignant and entertaining, Fletch reads as 'Fletch' kicks - straight, strong, true.

Mark Latham joined the Labor Party in the late 1970s hoping to improve people's lives through parliamentary service. Twenty-five years
later the Opposition Leader ended up as disillusioned as the rest of us. The scorching honesty of The Latham Diaries ensured he'd
burned his political bridges, but ostracism from the Canberra Club has its advantages.
ANZ
In The Political Bubble Mark Latham is free to explore how parliamentary democracy on both sides of the house has lost touch with the
people it's supposed to represent. As with most institutions at risk, politics has become more tribal, with left- and right-wing fanatics
dominating formerly robust, mainstream parties.
Can our parliamentary system realign itself with the community's expectations or are we on an endless race to the bottom?

Macquarie Dictionary
Description
This edition of the Macquarie Little Dictionary is based on the acclaimed Fifth Edition of the full Macquarie Dictionary. With over 30,000
definitions, it offers a completely up-to-date coverage of the core vocabulary of Australian English in a very handy format. Many new
words and meanings have been added, reflecting the ever-changing nature of our language. A few examples are: chia, cloud computing,
precycle and pocket-dial. The Macquarie Little Dictionary offers valuable usage notes on words which can cause problems for writers of
Australian English. For example, there is a note pointing out the common confusion between allusion (a reference to something) and
illusion (something that is not real). Notes also suggest more common words for rather formal words, and give information to clarify
other usage dilemmas. For clarity and ease of access, these usage notes are highlighted with shading. Appendixes listing prefixes and
suffixes are a handy addition to an essential portable language resource, the Macquarie Little Dictionary Fifth Edition.

bundled inside the house, dripping wet, cold and in her underwear. Not cool. As she and Caspar shiver in the kitchen, it starts to rain.
They turn on the radio to hear panicked voices - 'It's in the rain . . . it's in the rain . . . ' That was two weeks ago, and now Ruby is
totally alone. People weren't prepared for the rain, got caught out in it, didn't realize that you couldn't drink water from the taps either.
Even a drip of rain would infect your blood, and eat you from the inside out. Ruby knows she has to get to London to find her dad, but
she just doesn't know where to start . . . After rescuing all the neighbourhood dogs, Ruby sets off on a journey that will take her the
length of the country - surviving in the only way she knows how.

Secrets in the Shadows: Guardians of the Night 2
Jenna Black
Description
Secrets in the Shadows is the second installment in acclaimed author Jenna Black's Guardians of the Night paranormal romance
series. Jules Gerard has always thought the vampire who betrayed and turned him was dead. But when he discovers that Ian Squires
may still be alive and killing in Baltimore, Jules's long-dormant thirst for vengeance is reawakened. After Hannah Moore's fateful
encounter with the Broad Street Banger, the petite PI has vowed to keep as far away from the Guardians of the Night as possible. But
when her best friend and former business partner asks her to help save Jules from himself, Hannah reluctantly agrees to track Jules
down and convince him to return to the Guardians. Jules doesn't want help from anybody, much less a stubborn, bossy mortal who
doesn't seem to realize how much danger they're really in. Unfortunately, he soon discovers that Ian is far too powerful to take on alone.
Caught in a deadly game that quickly spirals beyond his control, Jules must choose: Vengeance or love? Damnation or redemption?

Little Mouse has found a new book, and this time it's full of scary creatures. Undaunted, he bravely sets about removing or altering all

the bear! Full of flaps, jokes and Emily Gravett's trademark wit, with a brilliantly satisfying ending, this is a worthy successor to Little
Mouse's Big Book of Fears.

My Yiddish Vacation
Ione Skye (Illustrated By Scott Menchin)
Description
Whenever Ruth and Sammy visit their grandparents, they get to brush up on their Yiddish. This Jewish language, a blend of German and
Hebrew, is full of words that are fun to say: words like shvitz (sweat), feh! ("It stinks!"), and schmaltz (fat). Ruth and Sammy look
forward to spending time with relatives. As Ruth would say, until they arrive at their grandparent's house, they are on shpilkes (pins and
needles)! Actress Ione Skye drew upon her childhood experiences in this story of family ties, cultural exploration, and adventures under
the sunshine.

"My name is Lottie Biggs and in three weeks time, I will be fifteen years old. At school, most people call me Lottie Not-Very-Biggs. I've
never found this particularly funny . . . My current hair colour is Melody Deep Plum which is not as nice as Melody Forest Flame but
definitely better than the dodgy custard colour I tried last week . . ." And this is my book - it's about important things like boys and
shoes and polo- neck knickers and rescuing giraffes and NOT fancying Gareth Stingecombe (even though he has manly thighs) and
hanging-out with your best friend having A BLATANTLY FUNNY TIME. It is definitely not about sitting in wardrobes or having a mental
disturbance of any kind! Painfully honest and laugh-so-hard-you-forget-to-breathe funny.

Lottie Biggs is (Not) Desperate: Book 2
Hayley Long
Description
Lottie Biggs is recovering from her mental disorder of a reasonably significant nature with the help of her counsellor, who rather helpfully
looks like Johnny Depp. Things are looking up - her hair is an excellent shade of black, she has a Saturday job in a hairdresser and
Gareth Stingecombe and his manly thighs are still the love of her life. When Gareth undoes his trousers to show Lottie a fetching bruise
on one of the aforementioned thighs, she comes to the realisation that, unlike everyone else she knows, she is A TOTAL UTTER VIRGIN.
But how can she get any sort of experience when her boyfriend is doggedly, stubbornly and infuriatingly determined to preserve his
energies for the rugby field?

It's hard enough being one half of the world's least identical twins, without both of you falling for the same guy. Jolene's turned flirting

Tor Freeman was the recipient of the prestigious Maurice Sendak fellowship 2012. She was born and educated in London and is an
illustration graduate from Kingston University. Although most of her life has been spent in London, time spent living in California and her
mother's home in South Africa have influenced her work today. Memories of beachcombing, evenings outside and local animals and
insects come back to her whenever she picks up a pencil. Tor's titles for Macmillan include Ambrose Goes For Gold, Showtime for
Billie Coco and The Toucan Brothers.
