Napoleon

Life of an Emperor

By Mike Lepine

From childhood dreams of joining the Bri�sh Royal Navy to a dotage spent riding on a seesaw to improve his health, the true story of Napoleon Bonaparte is every bit as bizarre and fascina�ng as it is controversial.

Napoleon rose up out of the chaos and horror of the French Revolu�on to offer a shatered na�on dream of future glory, honour, and a place once more at the forefront of Europe.

A�er he seized power through a mixture of propaganda and rigged elec�ons, Napoleon's armies waged a seemingly neverending war throughout Europe, from Portugal to Imperial Russia.

Many hundreds of thousands died in batle, or of disease and starva�on. France itself would lose 50,000 soldiers on average during every year under Napoleon's control.

Author Bio: Mike Lepine is a Sunday Times No1 best-selling author. He has writen thirty-five books and has been published throughout the world. He has also worked extensively in television in programming as diverse as the arts, consumer rights and comedy. For many years the editor of the Avia�on & Military Video Club, Mike was instrumental with DD Home Entertainment in bringing much rare archival film footage to the public for the very first �me.

Napoleon claimed to be furthering the libertarian values of the Revolu�on to free the con�nent, but then he had himself crowned Emperor, began moves to reinstate a hereditary monarchy and had slavery reintroduced throughout the French Empire.

Extensively illustrated, this new biography by bestselling author Mike Lepine offers a fresh and unforgetable portrait of a true military legend.

In 1855 talented astronomer and scien�st Charles Todd had a dream to build a telegraph line across Australia to connect it to the world. This dream was a bold one and he would have to wait for technological advances to catch up with his ideas.

By 1870, however, Singapore and Indonesia were joined to the world's growing telegraph network, and it was Australia's turn.

Todd and his men would have to erect thousands of telegraph poles across the en�re expanse of the country, from Adelaide to the northern coast - one pole every 80 metres - across land that was relentlessly inhospitable and largely unknown to them.

They overcame every obstacle and, as well as reducing the transmission of informa�on to the country from months to hours, revealed the splendour of the con�nent's interior to its rapidly growing popula�on.

Author Bio: This is their story, now in paperback.

George Best Down Under

By Lucas Gillard, Jason Goldsmith

Key Sales Points: * This book goes beyond the headlines and the media reports to talk with people who knew him and travelled with him. * The world’s most famous footballer in his day and s�ll regarded as one of the top 5 football players of all �me. * Reveals a litle-known history of his four tours to Australia.

Publicity: * Nermin Bajric, Waterson PR.

George Best is widely regarded as a brilliant footballer - one of the best in the world - with a troubled life. A European Cup and Ballon d’Or winner with Manchester United, the Northern Ireland interna�onal had all the skills and panache to be at the top of the game.

Best visited Australia four �mes between 1967 and 1990, the first �me with Manchester United ahead of their European Cup win as the biggest football star in the universe, the last �me as a supernova.

As early as Bests second visit in 1983, journalist Andrew Detre wrote that Bests visit to Australia "must surely...be considered rock botom" for a man of his talents.

Author Bio: Lucas Gillard is a writer from Melbourne who has a background in marke�ng and has published long-form football pieces for The Roar and The Football Pink. His love of football was forged in the Great Depression of 1997 and was only further inflamed while si�ng in the Gardiner Stand at Princes Park to watch Carlton Soccer Club. Lucas collects jerseys, programs, and other bric-a-brac from football clubs around the world, including diving into every op shop he can find looking for NPL jerseys. He ac�vely supports footballs agency for social change, by providing content for Football v Homophobia, and watching pre-dawn Forest Green Rovers matches. Lucas also has a dark side and has contributed work on AFL for The Roar and the Carlton Football Club website.

Jason Goldsmith lives in the inner north of Melbourne. A father of two, he is heavily involved in community sport and a big fan of Australian footballers and the na�onal teams. He loves nothing more than watching the progress of the Socceroos and Ma�ldas at World and Asian Cups. He has previous writen Green and Golden Boots (2023) following Surfing for England (2019) and Be My Guest – Football Superstars in Australia (2021) which was co-writen with Lucas Gillard.

Despite the popular view that Bests tours down under were all about drinking and women, Lucas Gillard and Jason Goldsmith go behind-the-scenes to talk with people who knew him, who played with him, and who knew there was much more nuance, complexity, and back story to the man than the archetypal celebrity footballer the media preferred to present.

Author Bio: Jill has spent twenty years working in communica�ons and PR storytelling for large, global organisa�ons. Now, she’s telling a different story in her debut fic�on novel High Heels & Low Blows. Before corporate life, Jill worked in a mul�tude of fun jobs including singing, roller-staking waitress at Disneyland Paris and Kris�n Scot Thomas’ au-pair. She studied French and Spanish at university in London and completed a communica�on management master's degree in Sydney. Born in Scotland, Jill moved to England at ten. She has lived and worked in London, Paris, New York, and Los Angeles. In 2000, she arrived in Sydney with her backpack and never le�. She now lives on the Northern Beaches with her husband, two boys and dog, Alfie.

When their worlds intertwine, the trio forge a pact to support one another. But as their dilemmas intensify, there is one looming ques�on: can they throw the knockout punch and bring down the scheming, controlling men in their lives?

High Heels and Low Blows is Jill Valen�ne's debut novel which also delves into themes of self-worth, iden�ty, and friendship.

With unforgetable characters, drama�c twists, and sassy comedy, it is a story that is highly relatable to the modern woman and will leave you asking — which of these fabulous females do I admire the most?

Mien Ruys

The Mother of Modernist Gardens

By Julia Crawford

From 1923 un�l 1980, Mien Ruys created over 3,000 gardens and landscapes. While most of these are in her na�ve Netherlands, the influence of her designs and approaches spread far wider: many of us will have a litle bit of Mien in our gardens, be it a railway sleeper, a diagonal line, a Phlomis russeliana or a water ball. Her work was extraordinary in combining two excep�onal elements. Firstly, Mien was one of the leading proponents of modernist design: having trained and collaborated with architects such as Ben Merkelbach, Charles Karsten, Aldo van Eyck, Jan Piet Kloos, Hein Salomonson and Gerrit Rietveld, she introduced clean lines, geometric shapes and innova�ve materials into garden and landscape design. One of the few women members of CIAM, she was also one of the first to call for architects and landscape architects to collaborate fully from ini�al design onwards. She did so regularly, o�en on much needed social housing schemes, but also on schools, hospitals, and nursing homes.

Author Bio: Julia Crawford has a BA (Hons) in Interior Design and has been a designer for over 20 years, working in the Netherlands and the UK, first as an interior designer and then moving into garden design. She first gained a Masters in Sustainable Architecture from the University of East London before comple�ng a Diploma in Garden Design at the KLC School of Design.

All her projects shared a desire to offer users a beter quality of life. One of her most well-known collabora�ons was with Gerrit Rietveld in Bergeijk on the Ploeg factory and Park, which has since been listed as a historic monument. Uniquely, she combined this modernist design approach with an extensive knowledge of plants and plan�ng, which she learnt from a very early age in her father's Royal Moerheim Nursery in Dedemsvaart. Her father had close links with interna�onal gardeners, such as Gertrude Jekyll, who greatly influenced Mien as she developed her own loose, natural style of plan�ng. Her book on perennials, published in 1950, was interna�onally influen�al and, in seeking deeper understanding about plants and plan�ng, Mien created more than 20 experimental gardens at Dedemsvaart, many of which are now also historic monuments. The book includes a foreword which sets Mien's work within the wider context, as well as interviews with gardening experts and landscape architects who knew Mien or were deeply influenced by her work, which offer rich insight into Mien's character and the �meless lessons which can s�ll be learnt from her work.

Abraham Lincoln

When Fragments Make a Whole

A Life

A Personal Journey through Healing Stories in the Bible

By Michael Burlingame, Jonathan W. White

By Lory Widmer Hess

Hailed as the defini�ve portrait of the sixteenth president, Lincoln scholar Michael Burlingames impressive two-volume biography has been masterfully abridged and revised. Sixteenth president of the United States, the Great Emancipator, and a surpassingly eloquent champion of na�onal unity, freedom, and democracy, Abraham Lincoln is arguably the most studied and admired of all Americans. Michael Burlingames astonishing Abraham Lincoln: A Life, an updated, condensed version of the 2,000-page two-volume set that The Atlan�c hailed as one of the five best books of 2009, offers fresh interpreta�ons of this endlessly fascina�ng American leader.

Based on deep research in unpublished sources as well as newly digi�zed sources, this work reveals how Lincolns character and personality were the Norths secret weapon in the Civil War, the key variables that spelled the difference between victory and defeat. This abridgement delivers Burlingames signature insight into Lincoln as a young man, a father, and a poli�cian. Few have achieved his historical importance, but many can profit from his personal example, encouraged by the knowledge that despite a life�me of troubles, he became a model of psychological maturity, moral clarity, and unimpeachable integrity.

In this candid and courageous book, Lory Widmer Hess describes her experience of inner transforma�on through her explora�on of the healing stories in the gospels.

In a unique blend of poetry, commentary, and autobiography, she describes how she engaged with and drew inspira�on from these stories. Her approach will inspire readers on their own journey of spiritual growth.

During a difficult �me in her life, Lory turned to the accounts of Jesuss work on earth for comfort and inspira�on. She wrote poems about the lives of the people who had been touched by Christ and, over several years, added personal reflec�ons that explored the difficul�es she was facing in her marriage, the challenges of raising a family, and setbacks in her career.

Gradually she learned forgiveness and self-acceptance.

This powerful book shows how we can connect our experiences to the gospel stories in a crea�ve way that allows us to draw strength from them.

Footprints of Schizophrenia

The Evolu�onary Roots of Mental Illness

By Steven Lesk Of all the mental illnesses, schizophrenia eludes us the most. No mater the strides scien�sts have made in neurological research nor doctors have made in psychiatric treatment, schizophrenia remains misunderstood, almost complacently mythologized. Without a reason for the illness, pa�ents feel even more alienated than they already do, families are le� hopeless, and doctors struggle to provide accurate care. Steven Lesk, though, a�er a medical career dedicated to those affected by schizophrenia and a determina�on to find the answer to its existence, presents a groundbreaking theory that will forever change the lives of the mentally ill.

The Illustrated Mark Twain and the Buffalo Express 10 Stories and over a Century of Sketches

By Thomas J. Reigstad, Laura Skandera Trombley Ph.D Coming to Buffalo as a young man with a background as an i�nerant printer's appren�ce, newspaper reporter, and popular lecturer, Twain began his brief but impac�ul tenure at the Buffalo Express in 1869.

One of his first decisions as managing editor was to accompany each of his Saturday feature stories with an illustra�on. But the sketches didn't stop there. For more than a century, illustrators have kept coming back to Twain's original Express stories to add their own drawings to the humorist's legacy. The Illustrated Mark Twain and the Buffalo Express collects ten feature stories published by Twain in the Buffalo Express during his year-long tenure at the publica�on, accompanied by illustra�ons drawn by five ar�sts over a span of nearly 115 years alongside insigh�ul analysis from author and Twain scholar Thomas J.

What is This Childhood?

Finding the Spirit of Early Childhood in Language and Crea�ve Living with Our Families

By Carole Toole, Eva Hosington This book explores the consciousness of the young child through language development, o�en in their own words. The child’s early uterances reveal a unity of word and experience and of experience and meaning. Children live more fully in percep�on than concep�on.

Yet, speech as it unfolds eventually leads the child to abstrac�on, selfconsciousness, and cri�cal thinking. This journey into childhood will deepen the quality of our aten�on and presence in each moment, enlivening our speech and interac�ons and thereby preserving our children’s sense of wonder and spiritual connec�on.

Excitedly Poppy joins them for an adventure in the Snow Queen's wintry kingdom where she visits a shimmering ice castle and dances at the Princess's birthday celebra�ons un�l it is �me for her to go home.

Sibylle von Olfers' vintage stories of nature children have been loved by genera�ons. The whimsical tales are accompanied by beau�ful art nouveau illustra�ons of characterful creatures, cheerful plants and flowers and magical litle folk.

Author Bio: Sibylle von Olfers (1881-1916) was a German children's author and illustrator. Well-known for her blend of natural observa�on and simple design in the art nouveau style, her work has been likened to Kate Greenaway and Elsa Beskow.

Encouraged by her aunt, writer and painter Marie von Olfers, Sibylle studied at art college in Berlin. At aged 25 she took the name Sister Maria Aloysia and published her first picture book, The Story of the Root Children. She created six more picture books in the following decade before her un�mely death. Her legacy is a collec�on of beloved children's books including The Story of the Buterfly Children and The Story of the Wind Children.

This wonderful new edi�on of The Story of the Snow Children faithfully reproduces Olfers' classic illustra�ons in a collectable picture book featuring a hand-cra�ed design, premium-quality paper and a luxurious cloth spine.

The Sibylle von Olfers library also includes mini gi� edi�ons and board books for very young children.

Adop�on Unfiltered

Revela�ons from Adoptees, Birth Parents, Adop�ve Parents, and Allies

By Sara Easterly, Kelsey Vander Vliet Ranyard, Lori Holden

Making Sense of Your Senses Sensory Solu�ons Workbook

By Monique Thoonsen, Ruud Bijman

Adoption Unfiltered authors Sara Easterly (adoptee), Kelsey Vander Vliet Ranyard (birth parent), and Lori Holden (adop�ve parent) interview more than 30 adoptees, 20 birth parents, a dozen adop�ve parents, and several industry professionals-all sharing candidly about the challenges in adop�on. While finding common ground in the some�mes-conten�ous space of adop�on may seem like a lo�y goal, it reveals the authors' op�mis�c aim: working together with truth and transparency to move toward healing. Flipping the typical script, in which adop�ve parents take the lion's share of the narra�ve, this book leads with adoptee stories then moves on to stories of challenges and perspec�ves of birth parents-so o�en marginalized and silent. We also hear from adop�on professionals, who share the challenges of opera�ng ethically amid rampant unethical prac�ces in the unregulated world of finding infants and children for homes. Finally, we hear from ac�vists and adop�on-competent therapists, offering their ideas to make adop�on policies and prac�ces beter for all involved.

Adop�on is a beau�ful experience but has challenges just like any other rela�onship or family system.

Do you ever feel like your classroom is just too loud? Maybe it has too many noisy kids in it?! Or maybe you wish there were more colours on the walls? There is a reason you feel this way and it's all because of your eight (yes eight!) senses. In this workbook you will get to know all about your senses and a number of friendly animals along the way. Fun ac�vi�es will help you pin down what sorts of smells, sounds, textures, tastes and movements you like, which you don't like and how much of these is too much.
