The three authors of the yearbooks: Glenn Dawes, Peter Northfield and Ken Wallace backgrounds stem from a long love affair with the night sky dating back to the 60s & 70s. This amateur interest led to them becoming long term members of the Astronomical Society of NSW (ASNSW). This association not only fostered their interest in all aspects of amateur astronomy but lead to developing skills in communicating through the various public field nights and the society publications. This experience with the public, and the exploring of their needs, formed the platform on which the yearbook concept emerged in the late 80s. Their first yearbook was produced for 1991 and they have produced the book every year since.

Author Bio:
Pip Williams captures the intangible and conveys the connections between the living and the landscape. Based in Toowoomba, Queensland, her images are drawn from a decadelong career as a family photographer. In that time, she’s gained access to the lives of countless rural people - visiting their homes, meeting their pets, sharing a beer with them - and in the process, witnessed their love for each other. Phoebe Hartley is a writer, journalist and audio producer from Victoria’s Macedon Ranges. She’s a regular contributor to Bush Journal magazine and writes for the ABC and an array of online arts and culture publications.
In Love, Out Bush
By Pip Williams, Phoebe Hartley
Key Sales Points:
* Stunning cloth-bound keepsake.
* Authentic photography from rural Australia.
* Heartfelt quotes examining the complexity of love. Publicity:
* Featured in local and national press.
* Social media influencer campaign underway (16K+ followers).
* Launch planned in June 2024.
Love faces unique challenges in rural Australia - from the harsh climate that batters the landscape to vast distances and patchy internet that keeps its inhabitants isolated. Despite this, it thrives between young and old couples; mothers and children; men and the land they all live on.
This powerful emotion is the subject of a book from acclaimed photographer Pip Williams.
Drawn from her decade-long career, In Love, Out Bush features portraits and interviews with more than 100 rural and regional Australians that give intimate insight into who and what they care about.
For Casey Zell, from Wee Waa in New South Wales, it’s keeping her husband’s memory alive after he died in a farm accident. “The two most important people in my life now are my children,” she says. “I always tell Willow, even though we can’t see Dad, he’s still with us. And she says ‘Oh, he’s our angel’.” Condamine grazier Bryce Moore finds connection in the land that calms and challenges him. “I spent my whole apprenticeship dreaming of being back on the land,” he says. “And the day I got my certificate, in the other hand I had a resignation letter.”
Writer Phoebe Hartley spent months interviewing Pip’s subjects, selecting short but incisive quotations that reveal bonds defined by trust, practicality, and working towards a common goal - while hinting at the tests they face.

Senna began his motorsport career in karting, moved up to openwheel racing in 1981, and won the 1983 British Formula Three Championship. In 1988, he joined Frenchman Alain Prost at McLaren-Honda.
Between them, they won all but one of the 16 Grands Prix that year, and Senna claimed his first World Championship. Prost claimed the championship in 1989, and Senna his second and third championships in 1990 and 1991.

Senna has often been voted as the best and most influential Formula One driver of all time in various motorsport polls. He was also acclaimed for his wet weather performances, such as the 1984 Monaco Grand Prix, the 1985 Portuguese Grand Prix, and the 1993 European Grand Prix.
He holds a record six victories at the Monaco Grand Prix and is the fifth-most successful driver of all time in terms of race wins. Senna courted controversy throughout his career, particularly during his turbulent rivalry with Prost.

A New Day Yesterday
UK Progressive Rock and the 1970s
By Mike Barnes
An entertaining, definitive and in-depth study of prog rock, with a new cover and a foreword by Steve Hackett (Genesis). Progressive rock, a genre formed out of a creative surge in the late Sixties and throughout the Seventies. Made by young musicians for a young audience, prog music looked towards new horizons by synthesising rock, jazz, folk, classical and other styles.
While prog has always divided critical opinion, in its heyday it had a large and devoted fanbase, and the era's biggest acts from Pink Floyd to Genesis went on to enjoy long-lasting international and commercial success. Although the scene fragmented in the late Seventies, new generations of young listeners continue to discover the unique sounds of prog today.
Examining the myths and misconceptions surrounding the genre, music journalist Mike Barnes paints a vivid, colourful picture of the Seventies based on his own interviews with the musicians, music business insiders, journalists and DJs, and the personal testimonies of fans of that extraordinary decade. Offering something new for even the keenest of prog enthusiasts, A New Day Yesterday is an entertaining and indepth study of both the music itself and the cultural conditions and attitudes that fed into, and were affected by, this remarkable musical phenomenon.

Ladies First by Ashley Morrison is a compelling account of the remarkable journey undertaken by the Australian women’s hockey team at the 1988 Seoul Olympic Games. These 16 women not only secured Australia’s first Olympic Gold Medal in Hockey but also clinched the nation’s first Gold Medal for a team sport. Morrison delves into the intriguing question of why this team, despite their groundbreaking success, has been largely overlooked by history. Set against the backdrop of one of the last amateur Games, the story raises questions about the shifting landscape of sports and the challenges faced by female athletes in gaining recognition for their accomplishments. Through heartfelt storytelling, Ladies First shines a light on these trailblazing women who etched their names into Australia’s sporting history, and who were the pioneers for the team we now know as the Hockeyroos, ensuring that their legacy is not forgotten.

Rippa - Joey Rippa. This 19-year-old high school drop-out wants to be on the waves or smoking pot and strumming his guitar in his small Western Australian beach town, instead of being on a football pitch. But the round-ball game is where his real talent lies and when he has the match of his life for the State team against a travelling West Ham United side in a glamour friendly, he’s offered a pro contract with the English First Division side. With the bills mounting in his father’s bar, his beloved uncle facing homelessness, and his band needing a new recording, he reluctantly signs and heads over to the UK.

His new club won the domestic treble in his first season, but Charyls transition to his new environment was not without its arduous challenges, both on and off the pitch. His perseverance in the face of adversity is a testament to his character.

What a Bee Knows
Exploring the Thoughts, Memories, and Personalities of Bees
By Stephen L. Buchmann
For many of us, the buzzing of a bee elicits panic. But the next time you hear that low droning sound, look closer: the bee has navigated to this spot for a reason using a fascinating set of tools. She may be using her sensitive olfactory organs, which provide a 3D scent map of her surroundings. She may be following visual landmarks or instructions relayed by a hivemate. She may even be tracking electrostatic traces left on flowers by other bees. What a Bee Knows: Exploring the Thoughts, Memories, and Personalities of Bees invites us to follow bees' mysterious paths and experience their alien world. Although their brains are incredibly small just one million neurons compared to humans' 100 billion bees have remarkable abilities to navigate, learn, communicate, and remember. In What a Bee Knows, entomologist Stephen Buchmann explores a bee's way of seeing the world and introduces the scientists who make the journey possible. We travel into the field and to the laboratories of noted bee biologists who have spent their careers digging into the questions most of us never thought to ask (for example: Do bees dream? And if so, why?). With each discovery, Buchmann's insatiable curiosity and sense of wonder is infectious. What a Bee Knows will challenge your idea of a bee's place in the world-and perhaps our own. This lively journey into a bee's mind reminds us that the world is more complex than our senses can tell us.

Climate Action for Busy People
By Cate Mingoya-Lafortune
As unprecedented heat waves, storms of the century, and devastating fires impact cities, the time to create climate resilient communities is now. While large-scale innovations in policy and technology are necessary to preserve the planet, the wisest and most lasting adaptation solutions originate at the local level. However, with something as large as the climate crisis, it can be hard to know where to begin.
Climate Action for Busy People is a hopeful and realistic roadmap for individuals and groups who want to boost climate preparedness and move the needle towards environmental justice. Drawing from her professional and personal success in climate adaptation and community organising, Cate MingoyaLaFortune begins with a brief history of why our communities look the way they do (spoiler, it's not an accident!) and how that affects how vulnerable we are to climate risks. Each chapter will help readers scale up their actions, from identifying climate solutions that an individual or small group can pull off in a handful of weekends, like tree plantings or depraving parties, to advocating for change at the municipal level through coalitionbuilding and data collection. It's not too late for people of all ages and skill levels to create climate safe neighbourhoods Climate Action for Busy People is an invaluable guide for anyone who wants to make lasting and equitable improvements that will make their communities climate resilient.

Water Management
Prioritizing Justice and Sustainability
By Shimon C Anisfeld
Flooding in California. Drought and famine in the Horn of Africa. Massive fish kills in Texas and Australia. "Forever chemicals" in US drinking water. Similar headlines are sure to dominate the news in the years ahead. What is sometimes missing from the headlines, though, is an understanding that these diverse problems are related: manifestations of serious underlying stresses on our water systems. These stresses require sustained attention from water managers, scientists, policymakers, and the public, even after the headlines have faded. That attention, in turn, requires a shared understanding of how water systems function, the problems facing them, and the tools available to increase their resilience.
Bicycle City
Riding the Bike Boom to a Brighter Future
By Dan Piatkowski
Drawing on research and case studies from around the world, Bicycle City offers a compelling case of a car-free urban future by harnessing the post-pandemic bike boom-perfect for professionals and advocates It took an oil crisis in the 1970s for the Dutch to realize that they simply couldn´t afford to live without bicycles, and today the Dutch lead the world in urban cycling. Fifty years later, another crisis, the pandemic, has led to a boom in bicycling and a radical rethinking of the future of urban mobility, demonstrating the possibility of a car-free urban future. The pandemic “bikeboom” is one of the very few bright spots in an otherwise terrible time – and an opportunity we cannot waste. The climate crisis is all too real, the inequities in our cities too severe, to allow the US to backslide to the status quo of cardependence.
Killed by a Traffic Engineer
Shattering the Delusion That Science Underlies Our Transportation System
By Wes Marshall
Thoroughly researched and compellingly written, Killed by a Traffic Engineer is the first book to uncover the lack of science behind traffic engineering, leaving readers inspired to act and demand streets engineered for the safety of people In the US we are nearing four million road deaths since we began counting them in 1899. The numbers are getting worse in recent years, yet we continue to accept these deaths as part of doing business. There has been no examination of why we engineer roads that are literally killing us. Fixing the carnage on our roadways requires a change in mindset and a dramatic transformation of transportation. This goes for traffic engineers because they are still the ones in charge of our streets.

General Turchin
Where the Blacksmith Settles
By Alexander Borshchagovsky
This historical novel looks at the life of only Russian officer who became a General during the American Civil War. Ivan Vasilyevich Turchaninov… better known by his Anglicised name of John Basil Turchin, was a Union Army Brigadier General in the American Civil War. He led two critical charges that saved the day at Chickamauga and was among the first to lead soldiers up Missionary Ridge. He was courtmartialled for allowing his men to perpetrate the "Sack of Athens," and found guilty of all charges, but President Abraham Lincoln promoted him to Brigadier General, which invalidated the verdict, as an officer could only be tried by those of equal or greater rank. Translated into English from the Russian for the first time by John Mandelberg.

Written in the shadow of the climate crisis and the pandemic years, the poems work hard to find some points of hope and unity against a shared background of disruption and collapse, a background to which we are often wilfully blind.

Farthest North
The Greatest Arctic Adventure Story
By Fridtjof Nansen, Fergus Fleming
Like a modern Viking 32-year-old Nansen set sail from Norway in 1893 to reach the North Pole. Experts warned him that his voyage was tantamount to suicide.
Compact and nimble, his ship the Fram had been specially built to withstand the relentless, devastating pressure of the polar ice cap.
At the right moment, he intended to strike out into the polar desert and finish the final leg by sledge. Nansen's vivid memoir became an international phenomenon when, having been given up for dead, he emerged three years later.
His epic struggle against snowdrifts, ice floes, polar bears, scurvy, gnawing hunger and the loneliness of the polar night would inspire young explorers such as Scott and Amundsen a generation later to make new conquests.
This first unabridged edition since 1897 includes photographs not previously published.

The Ascent of the Matterhorn And the Forgotten Photographs
By Theresa May, Edward Whymper
Few thoughts of travelling to the Alps until John Ruskin extolled their rugged beauty in 1842. More than anyone, it was 25-yearold Edward Whymper who imbued them once again with a sense of alarming mystery after his Alpine memoir and first ascent of the Matterhorn.
Inspiring the birth of mountain climbing, his book is still as fresh as when he wrote it as a love letter to the unique Alpine world and the fierceness of nature he discovered. Armed with a pickaxe, he climbed in tweeds and leather shoes, alone or with local hunters and craftsmen who carried the ropes, stores, tents and hacked steps in the ice.
Even today, the mountain is treacherous and has recorded over 500 deaths since Whymper reached its peak. As an engraver, Edward Whymper enthusiastically embraced the rapidly advancing art of photography. In 1874, he took a portable camera and plates up the Matterhorn-a first-to turn photographs into engravings for a new edition of his book, and, in 1883, to include as lantern slides with talks.

Under the Radar
An essential guide to autism and girls
By Emilia Misheva
What is the first thing that comes to your mind when you think of autism? Often, it’s a boy who struggles with friendships, but who loves trains and is great at maths. While this may reflect the experiences of some autistic people, in recent years research and first-hand accounts have shown that many others don’t conform to this image. The historical perception of autism as a "male condition" as well as simplistic stereotypes have led to an under-identification of autism in some girls and womenand, indeed, in all people, regardless of gender, who do not fit this mould.
This straightforward, one-stop guide introduces you to the differing presentations of autism that are common in girls, but also explores why referring to male and female autism is too reductive.
Describing why some autistic girls’ needs are identified late or not at all, looking at friendships and relationships, education, mental health and puberty, this concise, easy-to-understand and informative book draws on both lived experience and research to offer a popular science overview of this important topic.

My Child Is Trans, Now What? A Joy-Centered Approach to Support
By Benjamin Greene
As a full-time public speaker specializing in spreading awareness and understanding of the transgender community, what Ben Greene hears most from parents and loved ones is the phrase “I’m sorry.” They’re sorry for using the wrong word, sorry for asking an offensive question, sorry for not knowing this already, sorry for asking a question at all. The combination of exhaustion from trans people who have become their community’s designated educator and the growing trend of “cancelling ” anyone who says anything wrong has created a culture where people who have good hearts and minimal access to information are so afraid to make a mistake they don’t even try. In My Child is Trans, Now What? A Joy-Centered Approach to Support, Greene breaks the mold by offering a judgement-free guide to people across generations, from millennial parents to members of older generations who may not have had previous positive exposure to the trans community. Greene focuses on providing two key resources in this book: information and emotional support. He explains what to expect, what systems exist to support trans youth, and what loved ones can do to help. Using a combination of personal stories and experiences, definitions, and additional resources, My Child is Trans, Now What? is an essential guide for anyone looking to help trans youth thrive.
