Foreword by Gus Worland:

Gus Worland co-created and starred in An Aussie Goes series with Hugh Jackman and has spent ten years on Triple M breakfast radio as well as ABC shows such as Man Up. In 2017 he founded the Gotcha4Life Mental Health charity which has facilitated access for over one hundred thousand people to mental health sessions.

Human beings have succeeded as the most dominant species on earth in large part due to our ability to connect and cooperate, and to innovate through collabora�on and specialisa�on. This has fine-tuned our unconscious percep�on of faces, facial expressions, body language and touch.

This unconscious drive to connect can draw us together, but it also emphasizes the differences between groups. And it is ge�ng worse, as overcrowding, technology, and the media o�en focus us on our differences. We become more and more divided into groups as a result.

Mark shows us how to recapture the drive for connec�on to help us look past our differences and reconnect, even with those we perceive to be outside our groups.

He starts by discussing the human brain’s specialisa�on for connec�on and how it evolved. He focuses on how connec�on works in prac�ce, then explores the nega�ve consequences of our drive for connec�on.

He ends with a posi�ve perspec�ve by examining how we can use our drive for connec�on to expand our in-group and extend mul�cultural socie�es for the good of our planet.

The Passion for Aussie-Built Cars

By Steve Reid

The motor industry in Australia is more diverse than many of us realise. Even the Bri�sh Motor Corpora�on (BMC) had a brief crack at breaking into the Aussie market. This book looks at 50-odd individual cars that have been carefully restored and maintained here in Australia, covering a wide range of types and models. They are not all purely 100% Australian born, but they are all models or varia�ons that were only originally available in the Aussie and New Zealand markets. Sadly, the Australian motor industry is no more, with no cars being assembled in any shape or form. This book takes us back in �me to when cars and commercial vehicles were being successfully produced in Australia - and some�mes assembled in New Zealand.

5 Traits of a Healthy Family

By Gary Chapman

Is your family all that it could be?

Many feel bombarded by images and experiences of broken families, but this is not how God intended families to be!

So o�en we examine the traits of unhealthy families, but Gary Chapman paints a biblical portrait of what a loving, stable family looks like.

He details five �meless characteris�cs that create a healthy family environment:

* A heart for service,

* Husbands and wives who relate in�mately,

* Parents who guide their children,

* Children who obey and honour their parents,

* Husbands who love and lead

In Dr. Chapmans own words, "What happens to your family does make a difference not only to you and your children, but to the thousands of young observers who are in search of a func�onal family."

This book is not merely for reading, but for living. Experience Gods design for family.

Author Bio:

Rod Nicholson is a mul�-award-winning racing writer and one of Australia’s leading sports writers. In 2000 he was awarded the Australian Sports Medal by The Queen and the Australian Government for his contribu�on to sports journalism. Rob Nicholson has been a regular at Caulfield racecourse for more than three decades and was the trackwork clocker at the club for the final 10 years of training at the track. He is the vicepresident of the Victoria Racing Media Associa�on, and a member of the Thoroughbred Club of Victoria.

The Melbourne Racing Club has evolved from a swampland into the most progressive and richest racing establishment in the na�on. The club has weathered wars, fires, financial woes, and other setbacks to become a goliath of the racing industry. However, the fabric of the club’s history revolves around those who have contributed to the core business of racing: the horses, trainers, jockeys, and administrators.

Add the colour of the bookmakers, the skill of the starters and handicappers, the flamboyance of race broadcasters and the dedica�on of the stewards and the club clearly has been fortunate to have had a wide mixture of talented professionals. This book pays tribute to all the Heroes of the Heath.

It Ain't Over Til the Bisexual Speaks

An Anthology of Bisexual Voices

By Lois Shearing, Vaneet Mehta

'Bisexuality allows for so many ways to desire and to express that desire. Plurality is at the heart of bisexuality' The bisexual experience is, by necessity, incredibly diverse - we are likely to be atracted to different genders, form part of mul�ple marginalised groups, and be perceived (depending on the gender of our partner) in wildly different ways. This anthology is a radical and ambi�ous atempt to capture the incredible mul�plicity of bisexual iden��es. With essays that unpack the intersec�onality and conflict of bisexuality with history, language, sexual violence, class iden�ty, religion, polyamory, gender cri�cal ideology, fatness, trans ac�vism, the asylum system, literature, and anarchy - this collec�on of bi voices demands to be heard. With contribu�ons from Shiri Eisner, Hafsa Qreshi, Zachary Zane, Heron Greenesmith, and many, many more...

This Monstrous Obsession

Hard Lessons Learned about Addic�on

By James Baker

The insidious opioid epidemic has ravaged American homes and communi�es for far too long. Three million American families have a loved one addicted to opioids, and fatal drug overdose is the number one cause of death for all Americans aged eighteen to forty-four. Though we are deeply familiar with the tragedy and severity of this public health crisis, almost everything we hear about it in the media or online is outdated, irrelevant, driven by profit over pa�ent care, or just plain wrong. What's worse is that many doctors don't understand this crisis, either, because no doctor is required to learn anything about addic�on treatment unless they select it as their medical specialty. Both the public and physicians are highly prejudiced against people with addic�on and s�ll see addic�on as a moral failure or choice rather than a sickness that needs medical aten�on.

Mastery

How Learning Transforms Our Brains, Minds, and Bodies

By Arturo E. Hernandez

To the outsider, an expert seems as if they are doing everything effortlessly. A master chess player, an expert golfer, and a prolific writer seem to be able to quickly home in on what needs to be done and execute flawlessly repeatedly. How do we master new skills? How do our brains and bodies transform performance from novice to expert?

In Mastery, Arturo E. Hernandez shows that new skills are not built but rather bloom from the combina�on and recombina�on of small parts that come to represent a new whole. The process by which smaller things are blended repeatedly is one that is not just restricted to high-level experts. Uni�ng the latest research findings from a cross sec�on of disciplines and case studies with compelling storytelling, Mastery shows readers how the blooming of abili�es can work in their favour and lead them to achieve much more than they thought was possible. Whether mastering a new language, learning to play a musical instrument, improving your tennis serve, or sharpening your memory, Hernandez teaches readers how to take advantage of our adaptability and open our minds to their fullest poten�al. Rather than hyperfocus and overspecializa�on, moving our focus from rigid perfec�on to a form of flexible adapta�on can lead to unexpected improvement. For anyone looking to learn a new skill, teach someone else to do the same, or to beter understand how our brains evolve and excel, this fascina�ng tour of cogni�on will reveal the path to surprising poten�al.

What Do Bees Think About?

By Mathieu Lihoreau, Alison Duncan

Explore the mind of a bee and learn what drives its behavior. Have you ever observed a bee up close and wondered what was going on inside its head? Like ours, insects' brains take up most of the space in their heads, but their brains are smaller than a grain of rice, only 0.0002% as large as ours. But what purpose does the insect brain serve, and how does that drive their crea�vity, morality, and emo�ons? Bees in par�cular exhibit unexpected and fascina�ng cogni�ve skills. In What Do Bees Think About? animal cogni�on researcher Mathieu Lihoreau examines a century of research into insect evolu�on and behavior. He explains recent scien�fic discoveries, recounts researchers' anecdotes, and reflects on the cogni�on of these fascina�ng creatures. Lihoreau's and others scien�st's research on insects reinforces the importance of protec�ng and preserving insects such as bees.

I Don't Want to Talk About It

A biography of AIDS warrior Tony Carden

By Lesley Saddington

The direc�on of Tony Cardens short life was determined by two pandemics: Child Sexual Abuse and HIV/AIDS. Unlike the compassion extended to vic�ms of the recent COVID 19 pandemic, vilifica�on was the burden borne by those who contracted AIDS and silence the lot of Child Sexual Abuse sufferers. On both occasions Tonys only response to his anxious mother was: ‘I don’t want to talk about it.’ Even a�er a failed suicide atempt at eleven, his response remained the same. He resolved instead to deal with his problem his way. At eleven this brave young boy became a warrior. Several years later, despite having won NIDAs Young Actor of the Year Award, he fled his tormentors for New York City to study ac�ng at the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Ins�tute and to apply for American ci�zenship.

Traces of Madness

A Graphic Memoir

By Fernando Balius, Mario Pellejer Ruiz

"I'm a grown man, but I don't feel it." Fernando Balius was a perfectly ordinary, self-absorbed, and misunderstood teenager. But before he turned twenty, he started hearing voices. A�er a few misdiagnoses, he was told he had schizophrenia. In Traces of Madness, Balius describes in excrucia�ng detail what it feels like, both mentally and physically, to lose your grip on reality. His life spins out of control as his auditory hallucina�ons, depicted in the narra�ve as a monster, work to destroy his self-esteem and, worse, try to convince him to hurt himself. A�er consul�ng with psychiatrists in the Spanish state medical system and taking medica�ons that ul�mately do him more harm than good, Balius educates himself about his illness and works to build a strong support network.

The War on Prices

How Popular Misconcep�ons about Infla�on, Prices, and Value

Create Bad Policy

By Ryan Bourne

Was infla�on's recent spike exacerbated by corporate greed? Do rent controls really help the needy? Are U.S. health care prices set in a wild west marketplace? Do women get paid less than men for the same work, and pay more than men for the same products? The War on Prices is an eye-opening book that peels back the curtain on all these burning ques�ons and more, as top economists debunk popular misconcep�ons about infla�on, prices, and value. Market prices are under siege. The war on prices is waged most obviously with damaging government price controls and the harmful effects of central bank monetary mismanagement. Yet these bad policies are propped up by widespread, misguided beliefs about infla�on's causes, price controls' effects, and the morality of market prices among the public.

Flow Engineering

Using Value Stream Mapping to Achieve Clarity, Value, and Flow

By Steve Pereira, Andrew Davis

A world of accelera�ng change demands a new genera�on of management with the skills to drive decisive ac�on and elevate performance. Managers tasked with delivering results collide with peers whose conflic�ng goals, perspec�ves, and incen�ves freeze progress and create a glacial pace of change.

New thinking and prac�ces are needed to act in alignment. You can't copy-and-paste a solu�on, and you can't do it alone. To collaborate effec�vely, you need to create a shared map of the territory; you need to pick your batles; you need Value Stream Clarity.

Readers will discover profound yet prac�cal applica�ons of systems thinking, psychology, and organiza�onal design in this new book by value stream experts Andrew Davis and Steve Pereira. With a step-by-step guide to visualizing the outcomes, processes, and dependencies, Davis and Pereira use case studies from across industries to show readers how to unlock innova�on and op�mal performance.

Learn how to co-create value stream maps of the hidden rela�ons and interac�ons that constrain your teams, maps that everyone can align with and act on. Reach across the whitespace in your organiza�on and replace fric�on with flow using Value Stream Clarity.

Kind Business

Values create value

By Dr. David Cooke

Key Sales Points:

* This is a book for our �mes. It is a �mely response to the call for higher standards of honesty and transparency in business. It is a contemporary book laced with examples right up un�l early 2024.

Imagine a corporate world where people and planet are at the heart of leadership decisions and businesses can s�ll find longterm profitability and improved shareholder returns. In ‘Kind Business’ Dr David Cooke shows us that world.

Kind Business is divided into three parts. Part 1 looks at tradi�onal business where business behaving badly is highlighted with short-term profit seeking domina�ng decision making with litle regard for nega�ve impacts. In part 2 David introduces the concept of Kind Business, where the corporate world is reimagined as a place where leaders with courage and high emo�onal intelligence, ones who understand the interconnectedness of all stakeholders, make decisions based around their customers and the planet.

And lastly, in part 3, David provides a case study of at an Australian tech-sector organisa�on that highlights evidence of the power of the philosophy of profit and purpose nourishing each other to show that when a business does good then that business will do well and that values create value.

Author Bio:

world touring musician (s�ll) human being ocean enthusiast author Ziggy Alberts, an Australian singer-songwriter and author, has cap�vated audiences worldwide with his authen�c wri�ng, folk-pop melodies and an upbeat energy that shines in his soloact, live performances. Alberts’ narra�ve unfolds on his terms, reflected in his latest musical records and debut poetry release, Brainwaves. Differen�a�ng from his lyrical work, readers of Brainwaves, and now through Sun Memos, can discover some of Alberts most personal realisa�ons from life at home and on the road within his prose. Ziggy Alberts con�nues to earn cri�cal acclaim with Laps Around the Sun proudly ARIA Double Pla�num Cer�fied, while Gone, Runaway, ‘Heaven’, ‘Stronger’, Love Me Now, ‘Simple Things’, ‘Days In The Sun’ and ‘EP Four Feet In The Forest’ have achieved ARIA Pla�num Cer�fica�on.

* Planned digital marke�ng spend for the announcement of the book.

* Signing book tour booked for 27th May - 31st May 2024 for Sunshine Coast, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, and Adelaide.

* Ziggy will be promo�ng his new poetry book to his fans across the globe during his New Love World Tour 2024 that commences 16th June 2024.

A poe�c outpour by Australian independent singer-songwriter, Ziggy Alberts. sun memos is the second self-published poetry book by Alberts which differen�ates from his lyrical work as an introspec�ve look behind the mind of the musician on the road and at home.

Featuring his signature environmental metaphors, sun memos, like his debut book, brainwaves (9780648705710), is split into four parts and allows readers to join him on a journey of personal realisa�ons and acts as an invita�on to enter a vulnerable rela�onship between the writer and the reader within the pages of his prose.

sun memos were brought to life amongst the rela�ve chaos of Ziggy Alberts’ extensive touring the world.

As Ziggy said “it was almost lost in the years between, and I can breathe a sigh of relief now these sun memos are bundled into these pages. Wri�ng poetry has nothing to do with publishing it. Wri�ng poetry is what music has been for me since the very beginning: an outpour. Minimal planning, maximum emo�on. Like my first book, brainwaves, this is another though�ully independent project made possible by my family & friends at Commonfolk Publishing. Looking forward to connec�ng with you all for the second �me, and again. X, zig”

My Mama, Cass A Memoir

By Owen Elliot-Kugell

A long-awaited, myth-bus�ng, and deeply affec�ng memoir by the daughter of legendary rock star "Mama Cass" Elliot.

Mama Cass, a member of the Mama & the Papas, was an independently minded, outspoken woman with a keen intellect and sharp wit who reached the heights of success in a maledominated business and broke the mould of what it meant to be a "rock star"; a forward-thinking feminist, and, as readers learn in this deeply moving and candid memoir, a single parent who embraced motherhood from the moment Owen entered the world.

Born six weeks before the Monterey Pop Fes�val in 1967, Owen was seven when her mom died suddenly.

Growing up with her aunt and uncle in Los Angeles, she met husband Jack Kugell at 19.

They reside in the San Fernando Valley area with daughter Zoe, 22 and son Noah, 19.

“My Mama, Cass is a daughter’s search for the mother she lost. In these pages, Owen Elliot-Kugell reconstructs who Ellen Naomi Cohen really was, which is not an easy task, as the woman who became Cass Elliot was a very complex person: unimaginably talented, independent, loving, warm, and completely dedicated to her one and only child. She brings her mother back to life for herself and for Cass’s millions of fans. The spotlight is back on my friend, and it’s great to see her again.” ― Michelle Phillips of The Mamas and the Papas

Bowie Odyssey 74

By Simon Goddard

Darkness looms in 1974. It could be the winter energy crisis. It could be The Exorcist. Or it could be the shock that Britain’s biggest pop star, David Bowie, is about to leave its shores for good. Bidding the corpse of glam, Ziggy’s haircut and loyal ‘Bowietania’ farewell, the plan is to storm America with his highly theatrical Diamond Dogs tour. But by opening night he’s already wishing he was Barry White instead. Then there’s that nasty sniff he can’t get rid of. And that fly in his milk. And the suspicion that, much like every other teen idol named David, fame is driving him completely out of his mind … Simon Goddard’s electric ride through Bowie’s greatest decade reaches the halfway mark with this fi�h instalment. Wickedly funny and shockingly tragic, Bowie Odyssey 74 is the story of one man trying to find his soul in a world that’s gone to the devil.

James Bond and the Six�es Spy Craze

By Thom Shubilla

James Bond and the 60s Spy Craze will explore James Bond films and the number of movies and television shows of the 1960s inspired by Ian Fleming's character. The book also delves into the produc�on, cas�ng, merchandise, and music that helped to make James Bond a household name and a cultural touchstone. The 1960s spy craze lasted seven years, ostensibly from 1962-1969 peaking in 1966-1967. However, in that �me many secret agent films flooded theaters and drive-ins and television shows filled sta�on line-ups in the United States throughout the 1960s. All of which were directly inspired by the first James Bond adventure to hit the big screen, Dr. No (1962). This is the story, from a historical perspec�ve, of those films and how they became a part of American pop culture. The book explores the various other top agents of the �me, Mat Helm, Dereck Flint, and Harry Palmer.

Towards Another Architecture

New Visions for the 21st Century

By Owen Hopkins

Published 100 years ago, Le Corbusier's Vers une Architecture was conceived as a way of making sense architecturally of a moment of profound social and technological change. Today, we live at another pivotal moment for architecture and for the wider world. The climate emergency alone requires us to rethink everything we have previously taken for granted about how we conceive and construct buildings. One of the great ironies of Le Corbusier's messianic vision is that the very thing he so celebrated - unbridled industry - has led us to the climate emergency. Yet, moments of crisis and transforma�on are also opportuni�es for overturning conven�ons, facing uncomfortable truths, and forcing disciplinary and societal 'reset'.

History of American Anima�on from Ger�e to Pixar and Beyond

By Darl Larsen

A deep dive into the history of cinema�c anima�on in the United States. Animated films started with simple sequen�al drawings photographed one at a �me litle bits of comedic fluff to make amateur �tle scenes or surreal escapist sequences. Today, anima�on is a worldwide industry valued at nearly $300 billion and s�ll growing in scope and popularity. In Moving Pictures, Darl Larsen playfully lays out the history of American anima�on as it transi�oned from vaudeville subfeature to cra�sman-like ar�stry to industrial diversion and, ul�mately, to theatrical regulars on par with blockbusters. Larsen iden�fies and discusses the major figures, movements, and studios across the nearly 120 years of anima�on in the United States.

Listening to the Music the Machines Make

Inven�ng Electronic Pop 1978-1983

By Richard Evans

Listening to the Music the Machines Make is the revolu�onary story of electronic pop from 1978 to 1983, a true golden age of Bri�sh music. This defini�ve account explores how krautrock, disco, glam rock, and punk inspired a new genera�on to rip up the rulebook and venture toward a new fron�er of electronic music – one that laid the founda�ons for Hip-Hop, house, techno and beyond. Including an extensive collec�on of archive images throughout, Richard Evans’s kaleidoscopic narra�ve draws on years of research, a plethora of archive press materials and the input of key figures, including Vince Clarke (Depeche Mode, Yazoo, Erasure), Martyn Ware (The Human League, B.E.F., Heaven 17) and Daniel Miller (The Normal, Mute Records).

Long Time Gone

The Perfect Harmony and Imperfect Lives of the Everly Brothers

By Mark Ribowsky

The Everly Brothers-aka Don and Phil to fans with an in�mate apprecia�on for them-seemed to exist almost as an appari�on. Emerging within the forma�ve era for young Baby Boomer during the blandly regimented '50s, they were a ubiquitous presence, clad in snug suits and skinny �es, hair neatly Brylcreemed, never raising their voices when they sang. The two prim-looking country boys with dark, curiously penetra�ng eyes and perfectly merged, honey-dipped harmonies, were oddly but comfortably setled as sen�mental, soothing, some�mes lovelorn voices of a s�ll-uncharted cultural turf.

Magnificent as the duo was, they have un�l now never received a defini�ve biography. In Long Time Gone: The Perfect Harmony and Imperfect Lives Of the Everly Brothers, the details, small and great, roll along on the mighty "Mississippi," in near novel-like fashion, revealing facts drawn from exhaus�ve research and first-hand interviews that trace the character and influences of these hardy but flawed men who grew from teenagers to old men before our eyes. Mark Ribowsky's authorita�ve book serves as a fi�ng companion to an unforgetable collec�on of songs-heard on countless albums, and covered literally thousands of �mes-whose recording was a long �me gone but that will never to be forgoten.
