Much

A Maximalist's Guide To A Creative Home

By Evie Kemp

Key Sales Points:

*Evie has won awards for Interior design, and illustration A Dog Like That, as well as design awards for Homecooked and Kai which she illustrated the cover and interior pages. *Featured in interior magazines internationally, on sites such as Apartment Therapy, work with brands locally and internationally. *Artwork sold in Urban Outfitters, and numerous TV and event presenting gigs.

Much is an inspirational guide to maximalist decor, that encourages the reader to tap into their inner-creative and encourage them to develop their own unique style. Artist, designer and interior stylist Evie Kemp has found increasingly over the years that people want to create a home they love but are frozen and at times intimidated by rules and trends -generally feeling that they don’t possess the skills or confidence to truly express themselves within their own spaces.

Evie’s wish, through the pages of this inspiring, vibrant book is to allow everyone to explore their own sense of ‘home’ and to find confidence to create the space they’ve always desired. Her opinion is that all homes should tell a story, and Much reminds us of the stories we all have to tell - it provides advice, inspiration and guidance to encourage us to create our own story. Alongside an abundance of self-discovery is practical advice for how to create a layered and maximalist home in your own space.

From installing a fool-proof gallery wall, to tips for sourcing second-hand, a masterclass on pattern mixing, paint picking, room layout and more. Much is not a ‘how-to’ guide for a prescriptive style, instead it’s filled to the brim with Evie’s own take on maximalism and illustrates her way of helping you discover your own unique style to create a home that is entirely for you.

HARD - Rugby League In The 70's

By Graeme Hughes, Tony Loxley, Peter Peters

The decade of the 70s in rugby league is today acknowledged as one of the toughest eras of the game - tough, hardened men playing a game that never let up for eighty solid minutes.

Most who played rugby league in first grade within the NSWRL competition worked five days a week and did their best to get to training on time three times a week, a scenario now long lost in the game.

But that’s how it was: the time spent playing the game was HARD to say the least -at its worst, it was brutal beyond all comprehension.

Canterbury Bankstown Bulldogs rugby league great Graeme Hughes, who played throughout this era, along with Tony Loxley, Will Evans and Tony Adams, have accumulated former players memories, anecdotes and mountains of images and memorabilia that tells the tale of the 70s in rugby league exactly as it was.

Souls of Byron Bay

By Ken Duncan

Where Jesus Walked is much more than a modern travel story. It traces the footprints of a man like no other – Jesus Christ, the carpenter from Galilee. Even after 2000 years, the impact of Jesus’ life and teachings continue to inspire and confront. Today we measure time as years before or after the birth of Jesus Christ. BC refers to the time Before Christ and the years after Christ’s birth are referred to as AD - Anno Domini - meaning in the year of our Lord. Who is this man, that time is measured by His birth? What was His mission? And what insights can we gain today by following the path of Jesus through the Holy Land? This was the challenge presented to Ken Duncan (stills photographer for Mel Gibson’s epic movie The Passion of the Christ). Travelling through Israel, the Palestinian Territories, Egypt, Lebanon and Jordan, Ken retraced the age-old steps of Jesus, as outlined in the Gospels. Along the way, he uncovered many layers of colourful history and local traditions. It was a pilgrimage through twenty centuries of faith and memory, encompassing a multitude of spectacular sites from Galilee, the Jordan River, Jerusalem and Bethlehem, to Egypt and beyond. The result is a magnificent collection of photographs, leaving readers with an overwhelming sense of Jesus’ historical authenticity and wonderful uniqueness. For Ken, the journey was like a forensic investigation into the reality of Jesus. There is no doubt about Jesus’ existence, so hopefully this book will help you understand more about His supernatural life and His mission on earth.

Slade were the most iconic group of the 1970s glam rock era. Although the original quartet - Dave Hill, Noddy Holder, Jim Lea and Don Powellceased working as a unit in the nineties, memories of the group remain strong, thanks mainly to their remarkable, enduring, festive single, 'Merry Xmas Everybody'.

It details the complete story of this singular band, as well as the personal histories of the four individuals who combined to turn Slade into a genuine phenomenon.

After all that, when the reader would doubt any recovery was possible, the letters describe a renewed but now illicit love affair of former marriage partners.

Marianne North

A Victorian Painter for the 21st Century

By Lynne Howarth-Gladston

This lavishly illustrated book re-assesses the work of the nineteenth-century botanical painter Marianne North (18301890) and the purpose-built gallery that houses her paintings at the Royal Botanical Gardens, Kew. Lynne Howarth-Gladston, a trained botanical illustrator and scholar, re-examines Norths working methods, which extend beyond those of conventional botanical illustration, and discusses Norths painterly techniques, in addition to her use of photography as a possible aid to her extraordinarily prolific output.

Marianne North: A Victorian Botanical Painter for the 21st Century situates North both as an unconventional botanical painter and as a technically progressive artist who melded differing stylistic approaches, techniques and media from both scientific and aesthetic perspectives. The study presents North as a progressive, multi-faceted individual who was rooted in the complex circumstances of her own time.

Yet it also reveals how her legacy continues to resonate with the concerns of the present day, such as contemporary intersections between art and science, artistic uses of multi-media, feminism, and climate change. Drawing on Norths travel writing as well as her visual record, the book offers a unique view of one of the most intriguing figures in the history of botanical art.

Exploring Emily Young’s carved works from the 1980s to the present, Jon Wood’s thoughtful survey places her sculpture within its resonant contexts, both art historical and more broadly cultural.

In doing so, it draws attention to the richness of her sculptural imagination and the issues that charge it, from ecology and environmentalism to poetry and philosophy.

The inclusion of Youngs early paintings also draws out her longstanding preoccupation with narrative.

Probing the relationship between the artists sculpture and the material life of things, Youngs original way of thinking, seeing and feeling is skilfully presented, so enriching our understanding of this important contemporary figure.

Everyday Rituals

The Liberating Power of Our Routines

By Pearl Katz

When we are in painfully difficult or confusing life situations, especially amidst ever-uncertain times, our minds grapple for structure: a funeral ceremony definitively lays the dead to rest; the exaggerated choreography of a surgical room confirms its sterility; and a daily schedule gives prisoners a sense of normalcy. These practices, these rituals, give us peace. Though it might seem contradictory, ordered rituals actually bring us freedom, creativity, and mental well-being. Rituals aren’t a thing of history or belonging to elaborate ceremonies, and they aren’t even confined to the most painful or confusing of times. Rituals can be at a family dinner table or in a morning bathroom routine. In Everyday Rituals, Pearl Katz shows us just how transformative rituals are, no matter what kind.

Soul Murmurings

Living with Grace, Humility and Integrity

By Andrew Kennely

Key Sales Points:

*Offers a new interpretation of spirituality: personal, inclusive, expansive. The book goes beyond religion and doctrine and places spirituality firmly in the soul of each individual.

*Encourages readers to explore their internal life by listening and attending to the whispers of their soul both in solitude, and in their interaction with the wider world.

*The book appeals in equal yet different measures to those from a faith-based background and those who have never and will never be connected to any form of religion.

When was the last time you felt totally alive, connected, and in awe of the beauty and mystery of life? What words do you put around that event? Did the experience take you beyond yourself? In Soul Murmurings – Living with Grace, Humility and Integrity, Andrew Kennelly uses these experiences and questions to explore the meaning of spirituality. Through personal stories, musings, quotations and questions, he invites readers on a personal journey of discovery.

The book invites you to explore:

How and where you find stillness in your life, how you can listen to your soul murmurings, how to identify what is an authentic spirituality and how your spirituality impacts on sexuality, life at work, parenting, and social interaction.

Written in a personal, engaging and conversational style, Soul Murmurings will call you to live a life grounded in your truth.

How to Talk to Your Dog

By Con Slobodchikoff

As any dog owner learns, dogs can talk. But not in English nor any other human language. They talk to each other using body language, barks, snuffles, growls, and whines. They also talk to us this way too. But we are very bad at understanding dog language. We consistently misinterpret their growls as aggression, when they want to play. We consistently misinterpret their slow tail wagging as friendliness, when they mean, "I am about to bite you" instead. We consistently misinterpret a whole host of signals that dogs send to us, thinking all the while that we understand what our dog is trying to tell us.

Most of the time, we don't. We desperately want to have a great relationship with our dogs, but much of the time we don't know how to make that happen. Many of us don't know how to read the signals that dogs send us, and we don't know how to respond so that dogs will understand what we are trying to tell them. How to Talk to Your Dog teaches what dog signals mean, and how we can communicate with our dogs so that we do, indeed, have great relationships with them.

Scattered Snows, to the North

By Carl Phillips

Carl Phillips's Scattered Snows, to the North is a collection about distortion and revelation, about knowing and the unreliability of a knowing that's based on human memory. If the poet's last few books have concerned power, this one focuses on vulnerability: the usefulness of embracing it and of releasing ourselves from the need to understand our past. If we remember a thing, did it happen? If we believe it didn't, does that make our belief true?

And why does the voice of Yves Montand sing 'Les Feuilles Mortes' surge from the horn of an antiquated phonograph in an otherwise silent villa in Sils Maria? This is the most enigmatic - and melodramatic - of Gabriel Josipovici's novels to date. It is as though one of Magritte's paintings had come to life to the rhythms of a Bach Partita.

Christianity is not Religion, it is Relationship

By Dan Murphy

Does the Universe have an end? Scientists have posed this question for many years and are still in debate over this subject. If it does not have an end, then how do we understand the infinite? How do we explain the Big Bang Theory? Does it have an end? If so, what is beyond that end? The scientific world and man can only provide us with human theories that are beyond that comprehension. This book provides us with the Divine Biblical evidence that can only come from THE GOD that made the universe to show the workings of THE INFINITE DIVINE CREATOR.

The One, Child of the Universe

Human Transformation Through Cosmic Realities

By Anna Lups

You are more than you think you are. Dr. Anna Lups begins with a practical study of alchemical principles through her examination of a young child’s colorful drawings. As a Waldorf school physician, she began to realize that a “star child” had artistically conveyed a message worth investigating. Two decades later, she revisited those drawings and realized that this child had been able to convey his reservoir of past memories from deep consciousness. Throughout these pages, the author expands on the child’s drawings alongside a key work of Hermes Trismegistus, the Emerald Tablet, and his terse observation, “As above so below,” a guiding principle for pursuing self-knowledge and one’s true purpose on Earth.

The Language of the Cosmos

Cosmic Influences and the Spiritual Task of Northern Europe

By Rudolf Steiner, Agnes Schneeberg-de Steur

11 lectures in various cities, Nov. 24–Dec. 31, 1921 (CW 209). This previously untranslated volume in The Collected Works of Rudolf Steiner comprises eleven lectures given to members of the Anthroposophical Society in Norway, Germany, and Switzerland in November and December of 1921. In Rudolf Steiner’s biography, 1921 was a year of many trials. These lectures stand between the earthshattering years of the First World War and the tragic destruction of the First Goetheanum. Indeed, precisely one year after the final lecture published in this volume, the Goetheanum the house of the Word to which Steiner devoted all his forces burned to the ground through an act of arson.

The Silent Language of Life

Research into Formative Forces in Water Drops

By Inge Just-Nastansky, Konstanze Kuhla

The research published here   conducted over the course of fifteen years by Inge Just-Nastansky   reveals, through extensive illustrations, a side of nature that otherwise remains hidden to us. The water drops  that small, transparent vessel   leaves behind remarkable structures after drying, structures in which its “experiences” are imprinted. Salt, minerals, gemstones, and plant organs   such as roots, stems, fruits, and seeds   are submerged in water for weeks or months. At regular intervals, samples are taken and dripped onto a microscope slide. After drying, characteristic and reproducible images of astounding harmony and beauty appear through the microscope. The variety of forms seems inexhaustible. We encounter in the phenomena under the microscope a language of images which in its lawfulness expresses another level of nature’s reality.

The Edge of the Silver Sea

By Alex Mullarky

"A hundred miles from the mainland, half in the sea, half out of it. The rules are different here?" All 13-year-old Blair Zielinski wants is a way off the remote Scottish island her parents have dragged her to. Roscoe is home to thousands of deer, a couple of hundred people, a complete lack of phone signal, and some unusual violet-eyed creatures

Blair is miserable, until an otherworldly woman with antlers, one of the island's darkly magical fey folk, offers her an irresistible deal: complete three tasks and Blair's wish will be granted. As she unravels the island's secrets, Blair soon discovers that a fey bargain cannot be broken, and her wish has put everyone on Roscoe at risk. Can Blair find a way to save her family, and the place at the edge of the silver sea that she has come to call home?

From the author of The Sky Beneath the Stone, this wildly magical upper middle-grade fantasy explores family and friendship, the balance between humans and nature, and the people and places we embrace as our own. The Edge of the Silver Sea deftly weaves Celtic mythology and folklore from kelpies and selkies, to will-o'-the-wisps and river spirits with themes of environmentalism, in Alex Mullarky's trademark captivating style.

Looking Out and Beyond

By Toby Hammerschlag, Kjetil Skaug, Deborah Brown

Key Sales Points:

*This novel is aimed at an early high school readership and for advanced English readers in year 6.

*The novel is an intriguing combination of a fictitious story set during Apartheid in rural South Africa in the 1950’s with a subplot of the Second World War that becomes interlinked in the final chapter.

*The novel is historical fiction and will appeal to readers who enjoy fiction

*Themes in the novel of Apartheid, Second World War and the treatment of Indigenous soldiers are in the High School History syllabus of NSW (perhaps in other States too). It would be a good book to be used in schools in English and History classes, giving students insights into their future study of these topics. It could also be used as a tool for integrative teaching.

Set in the early 1950s during the dark Apartheid era, in a small rural town in South Africa, it has flashbacks to the battle fields of the Second World War in North Africa. Two girls constantly encounter each other on the farm: Ada, the only daughter of the farm owner, Jonah Courtnay and his war time bride Johelia. Nicky is a young girl of mixed descent, and daughter of the help on the farm. The harshness of those times tests this relationship further, when the homestead is raided by the brutal, vengeful policeman, Koos. At the centre of the novel is the Courtnay farm, where Jonah and his war bride Johelia, live with their only daughter Ada and her resentful grandmother.

Includes a note to parents and caregivers by psychologist and author Dawn Huebner, PhD.

From the Note to Parents and Caregivers:

Author Bio:

Dawn Huebner, PhD, is a clinical psychologist in Exeter, New Hampshire, specializing in the treatment of children and their parents. She is the author of several books for children, including What to Do When Bad Habits Take Hold: A Kid's Guide to Overcoming Nail Biting and More and What to Do When Your Temper Flares: A Kid's Guide to Overcoming Problems With Anger.

She lives in Southern Germany.

If you are the parent or caregiver of an anxious child, you know what it's like to be held captive by fear. So does your child. Children who worry too much go to great lengths to avoid frightening situations, unable to shake the fear of what might happen. Unfortunately, the more children capitulate to anxiety, the more powerful it becomes. You have undoubtedly seen this pattern and done your best to reverse it, reassuring, distracting, accommodating, and/or encouraging your child, but it doesn't work. None of it. At least, not in the long run. Anxiety can be neither forced nor jollied away. But there is hope.

What to Do When You Worry Too Much, Second Edition teaches a new way of thinking about and managing anxiety, one that addresses fear where it begins: in the brain. This book is part of the Magination Press What-to-Do Guides for Kids (R) series and includes a "Note to Parents and Caregivers." What-to-Guides for Kids (R) are interactive self-help books designed to guide 6–12year-olds and their parents through the cognitive-behavioral techniques most often used in the treatment of various psychological concerns. Engaging, encouraging, and easy to follow, these books educate, motivate, and empower children to work towards change.

An LGBTQIA-Inclusive Guide to Respecting Boundaries, Bodies, and Beyond

With a glossary and further discussion questions - this is the perfect book for young people and their families to explore together.

Sensational Animal Senses

Living in a Noisy, Smelly, Tasty, Slimy, Tipsy, Colorful World

By Leanne Boucher Gill, Gareth Williams

The Sensational Animal Senses explores the world of senses and perception in both human and non-human animals. Readers will delight in the wonders of our six senses-vision, hearing, touch, taste, smell, and balance, plus exotic senses that some nonhuman animals have like heat vision, magnetic senses, and bioelectricity.

Have you ever wondered why our world is bright, loud, delicious, and very smelly? How in the world do we see color, feel tickles, and know which way is up? How do we determine what is a good smell from stinky stuff? Or how we distinguish yummy treats from disgusting food? And... what if a tree falls in the woods and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?

To answer these questions, peek inside Sensational Animal Senses: The Stimulating Science of Sensation and Perception

This book explores and compares human and non-human animal sensory processes and perception. You'll hear how each of our six senses-vision, hearing, taste, smell, touch, and balance -allows us to feel our way through the world around us and gather information; how scientists research the wonderful, colourful, loud, delicious, and smelly world we inhabit; and how our brains and nervous system process that sensory information and what we learn from those experiences. And you'll see just how important brains are to make sense of your senses!
