Greg Chappell was cricket’s incomparable artist, a batsman of infinite skill, charm, polish and focus. Hailing from Australian cricket’s most iconic cricket family – three captained and four played for Australia – he was the outstanding batsman of his era, the finest since Don Bradman. He was captain in 48 of his 87 Test matches. He also played in 10 Supertests in the era of Kerry Packer and World Series Cricket. He now is a full-time columnist. Author, commentator, master storyteller and Greg’s friend Ken Piesse is Australia’s most published sportswriter and author, having written, edited or published 91 books. Ken has an unequalled energy, expertise and verve for producing quality sports books. He has won an array of multi-media awards for his compelling writing, commentary and TV interviews and presentations. Almost every Australian who love sports books will have at least one of Ken’s books on their bookshelves. Ken’s books are anecdote-laden and entertaining, making him a first-choice sports presenter for Carnival cruise lines among many outlets.

As a Beatle, Harrison underwent a bewilderingly compressed early adulthood, buffeted by unprecedented levels of fame and success.
After Beatlemania left him unsettled and unfulfilled, his became a quest for deeper meaning which travelled far beyond the parameters of his former band and indeed music itself.
This elegant, in-depth biography tracks him assiduously through his many changes and conflicts, from schoolboy guitarist to global superstar, God seeker to independent filmmaker, Formula One enthusiast to UNICEF Fundraiser, and marks the perennial struggle of a man attempting to walk a spiritual path lined with temptation.
Drawing on scores of interviews with close friends and collaborators, rigorous research and critical insight, George Harrison: Behind The Locked Door is an intimate character study, illustrating the eternal yin and yang of Harrisons nature; the definitive account of a compelling, contradictory life.

Deanna Durbin, Judy Garland, and the Golden Age of Hollywood
By Melanie Gall
The 1930s was a magical age in Hollywood, with Shirley Temple and Mickey Rooney, Bette Davis and Clark Gable lighting up the silver screen. But Deanna Durbin's fame surpassed them all. Born in Canada, Deanna was "discovered" by starmaker Eddie Cantor, producer Joe Pasternak and director Henry Koster, and she quickly became the world's most celebrated star. She saved Universal Studios from ruin, she was a favourite of Winston Churchill and Anne Frank, and she became the highest-paid woman in America.
From the start, Deanna's life was irrevocably connected with that of another young ingenue, Judy Garland. Deanna and Judy were wildly talented, ambitious, and strong-willed young women who followed vastly different paths to stardom. While fame was thrust upon Deanna, Judy spent years struggling for success and their early friendship soon turned into a lifelong rivalry.
Despite her tragic life, Judy Garland is remembered as an entertainment icon, beloved by millions. However, Deanna Durbin-who turned her back on Hollywood at the age of twentyeight to pursue love and happiness-has been largely forgotten. But Deanna's legacy endures, and this first-ever biography tells of how her gorgeous voice and winning charm vaulted her to worldwide fame and how a thirteen-year-old girl transformed moviemaking and influenced a generation of fans as the first teenage superstar.

Threatened
A Clear Perspective on World Anxiety & Alarm
By Chris Mcleod
Key Sales Points:
*Threatened is a clear and concise perspective from a trusted Australian journalist on growing global threats–extremism, antisemitism, radicalisation and terror–using real-world examples. * Author Chris McLeod skillfully breaks down some of the most complex social issues in both a comprehensive and accessible way. Threatened is a ‘ready reckoner’ or a ‘go to resource’ for any reader seeking to understand and be informed. * Includes practical steps on raising civic awareness, reinforcing the importance of vigilance, social responsibility and community and individual action. * Topics explored include: * Recent surge in antisemitism across the globe * What you should know about radical extremism and what action someone concerned about radicalisation should take * Inciting hatred: are hate speech laws tough enough? Do they go too far and impinge on people’s rights? Where is the right balance?
Threatened sets out the types of extremism the world has seen in recent times and the alarm that has been raised about what might happen in the future. Case studies from Australia and around the world illustrate the level of extremism that is prevalent from antisemitism to terrorism with actions taken by authorities in Australia and around the world are highlighted. In this book, questions are answered about how citizens can identify extremism, radicalisation and subversive behaviour and what to do about it.

Edited by Lamda Literary award finalist Lexie Bean, and replete with moments of grief, longing, anger, and satisfaction, this urgent and raw collection is a testimony of continued queer and trans existence and a powerful imagined landscape of rendezvous and reconciliation with places that have been lost.

When Upon Life's Billows
By Sara Powter, Joseph Lycett
When Upon Life's Billows. Sydney 1795-1821 - Governor John Hunter. John Hunter loves his life at sea. The wind blows where no man knows, and John finds himself caught in a storm. His ship, the HMS Sirius, gets wrecked in 1790. Five years later, he becomes the second governor of the rough and filthy penal settlement of New South Wales. From a place he once loved, he now seems to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, trusting the wrong people. Helena Rosedale is not your typical female convict. She fiercely battles to prevent the men from abusing her, earning her the nickname "Helena the Hellcat." Crispin Milroy, who is alone in the world, serves on the new governor’s security detail. Can he win the fair lady’s heart? Life in 1795 in Sydney Cove is harsh at best. Food is scarce, and disease often ravages the settlement. Life throws everything except death at these three, yet somehow, they manage to survive.
The Saddler's Song

When disease strikes his family, he is left alone and hurting, seeking a new life for himself.

His cherished violin is his most treasured possession, and his gift for creating beautiful music is kept hidden from all but a select few. Ben Parker is a saddler, like George; he is also alone in the world. Ben also sells up to move to the new colony. The two young men meet and combine their skills to start afresh in a new world. During the journey out, George’s skill as a violinist is revealed. On arrival, they find accommodation with a family with many lovely daughters.
By Fawzia Muradali Kane
This book traces the poets ancestral Indo-Caribbean legacy, following the history of the cane sugar industry, and growing up in an oil refinery small town in south Trinidad. The Guaracara opening section contains snapshot recollections of a childhood that witnessed the effect and damage caused by the refinery to land and workers. These memories of loss of people and place are woven into reflections as an adult who has moved to a new life, thousands of miles away, across the Atlantic. The central long sequence Let us mourn the death of King Sugar, written in Trini Creole – the poets first language – consists of 13 Stations/poems where King Sugar charms then admonishes, and at times mocks, then falsely comforts cane field workers over three centuries.

Bunting's Honey
By Moya Cannon
This is a book of wonderings and wanderings. Many of the wanderings are on familiar territory explored on foot, the hills of Wicklow and of the Burren in Co. Clare, the shorelines of Dublin Bay, of Northwest Donegal, of Galway, Achill and the Aran Islands. Other poems bring us farther afield, to a French village on the banks of the Saône, to the Venetian Island of Torcello, to a sacred mountain lake in China. In these poems there is an alertness to the palimpsest of lives, human and non-human, lived in these places and the mystery of each individual life. The poems bear witness to our primal kinship with the natural world, a source of nourishment, joy and solace, but also to our disastrous, onrushing human conquest of that same earth and seas.

Seeds of Victory
Defeat, Triumph, and the American Way of War
By James Ellman
Like all armed forces, the United States military-often celebrated for its victories-has been defeated on the battlefield throughout its long history. Unlike some others, the United States has shown a remarkable ability to bounce back from defeat: to learn from the loss, recover, and turn it into victory. In this book James Ellman, who has established a reputation for his reconsiderations of military history, takes a close look at nine such pivot points on the ground, in the air, and at sea, from the American Revolution through the Korean War: Long Island (1776) to Saratoga (1777), Charleston (1780) to Cowpens and Guilford Court House (1781), Invasion of Canada (1812) to Battle of Lake Erie (1813), First Bull Run (1861) to Antietam (1862), Pearl Harbor (1941) to Midway (1942), Luzon (1942) to Buna-Gona (1943), Kasserine Pass (1943)

Military history is often seen through the lens of a small group of military commanders who have become enshrined in the collective consciousness of the American people, leaders like Eisenhower, Patton, MacArthur, and Nimitz who became the faces of their wars. But many influential, innovative, and successful commanders have shaped the course of American conflicts in the decades since World War II - but they remain in the shadow cast by the pantheon of military giants. Taking Command celebrates some of these soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines, and through them crafts a compelling military history of the United States from the Cold War through the War on Terror. Among those covered are one Air Force general, known as "Tonnage Tunner," who led the Berlin Airlift, which landed 1.8 million tons of supplies and logged 92 million flight miles in a span of fifteen months.

Through enchanting, under-the-sea illustrations, Will and Krill tells a tale for shy and quiet kids, encouraging them to find where they belong and use their voice when it really matters.

Join Rossi as he guides you through his life with FASD. Through make-up, mayhem, and marbles (found, lost, and swallowed!), Rossi and his mum share their experiences and insights, and offer ways for other young people living with FASD to find their own Brilliant.
Hi World, I'm Dad
How Fathers Can Journey to Autism Awareness, Acceptance, and Appreciation
By James Guttman
Raising a non-verbal autistic kid is a rollercoaster - especially as a single dad. In this no-nonsense, often laugh-out-loud funny guide to parenting an autistic child, James Guttman shares everything he’s learnt about fatherhood - including reckoning with traditional masculinity and care roles; creating a unique communication style with your autistic child; navigating relationships with family and community- and moving from autism acceptance to autism appreciation. With an exploration of the specific challenges facing male carers in this space, this book will help dads, and parents of all genders, reach a point of understanding, equilibrium and joy on their parenting journey. A compelling look at parenting an autistic child, written from the perspective of a dad who has made the journey from no awareness of autism, through to actively embracing its role in his life.
My History, My Gender, Me
By Cassandra Jules Corrigan
Gender diversity isn't a new thing! People all throughout history have identified in ways we would now call trans, non-binary, or any number of other terms beyond 'male' and 'female'. From Marinos the Monk in the 5th Century, all the way through to Marsha P. Johnson and the Stonewall Uprising in 1969, this beautifully illustrated guide takes children on a journey through the history of gender-nonconforming people who changed the world. Full of inspiring stories, reflection questions and activities, this book is an invitation to explore the rich history of trans and non-binary identities.
