AUTHOR: Raphaelo Angelou - AS SEEN ON '60 Minutes' RRP: 34.99
“Why don’t you just die? Give us a body to grieve.” - These were the words spoken to 14-year-old Raphaela Angelou by her mother, just after the teenager had been admitted to a clinic. The words were slurred, because Raphaela’s mother was dosed up on prescription drugs . Some stories are so horrific they defy belief. This is one of those stories!
Raphaela Angelou was four years old when her mother started giving her some of the prescription medication she herself was taking, in order to make the four-year-old easier to manage. At fouteen, placed into a psychiatric clinic by her parents, she is raped repeatedly while staff turn a blind eye...except to give her condoms to make sure she doesn’t fall pregnant. This horror goes on and on in a story that gives Underbelly a good run for its money. Raphaela ‘dies’ so many times she has lost count.
Raphaela’s story has all the trappings of an exciting underbelly story, but this is no mere entertaining drama – it is all too real and too recent in Australia’s history. Her mind was tortured, her body broken but her fighting spirit and her faith ensured her survival.

Ben Tooki, his uncle and a friend were caught in a storm off the island of Kiribati and swept out to sea. For forty six days they were adrift with little food or water.
There's a storm shapin'up; it's been gettin'to full on all day. We hear the rumbling noise, it sounds like the music of a didgeridoo, a kind of humming sound. 'What's that noise, it's getting louder?' 'It's coming in our direction!' The wave grows into a giant bulge in the ocean, lifts us like an elevator, and then begins to roll forward, not breaking, but bent on delivering us to some kind of eternity. We're three men, goin'to certain death on the mother of all waves, three men in an elevator, riding a boiling mass of water. It lasts maybe seconds, but it feels like a lifetime, and the tinnie turrns in the air, finishing upside down, and me spinning under the sea.. more buy

Misconception and judgment is something that sex workers face every day.
Is it fair that their chosen career is so condemned by society? The social order can literally decide whether or not someone is accepted as 'normal' in the public eye.
But, who are we to judge and decide someone else’s destiny? Why should this particular group of society be censured because they chose a different career path in life, and why are their legal needs so disregarded? Why do we consider sex workers as socially inferior, yet accept their clients' needs with a shrug and, let's face it without clients there would be no sex industry. more BUY

July, 1925 - a young woman lies dead in a Carlton alley. Roused from his bed in the middle of a cold July night, Senior Constable Fess Jordan stands in a nearby cobbled lane, one of those that make up the notorious network known as The Narrows, off Elgin Street, Carlton in Melbourne. The Narrows had seen more than its share of crime. More recently, the area had become known as ‘Vendetta Country’, the place where the back-street gangs feuded with bricks and bottles. Now it had sunk to a new level of depravity - the site for the murder of an innocent young woman from a good family.
Despite his twenty years in the Force, Fess finds he has more to learn, and not just about this murder: the allure of crime for some, the twisted motives of others, the reach of corruption and, closer to home, hidden family truths. more BUY

'INNOCENCE REVISITED A TALE IN PARTS' Author: Dr. Cathy Kezelman $29.99 Softcover

"Child sex abuse is known to be one of the greatest contributors to later mental illness, substance abuse, self harm and suicide. I hope Cathy's story will encourage others to create a safer and more caring world for children." Professor Freda Briggs AO - Emeritus Professor of Child Development.
This book is not just another memoir by another victim of child sexual abuse. It is an intensely personal story which skilfully weaves a tale back and forth through time and space, capturing the confusion and despair of both the child and the adult as she searches for certainty in a world of shadows and falsehood. We journey with Cathy as she goes in search of ten lost years of her childhood, feeling her suffering acutely but also celebrating her triumphs. It is also a vivid portrayal both of the intricate psychological contortions of a child towards psychic survival and of the mental processes of the adult towards a full life.
This book is a message of hope for those staring death in the face, those who cannot see a way forward into a life of health, those who daily revisit the terror and abject cruelty of their childhoods and those who fear they are losing their minds and descending into madness. It is a landmark book, a roadmap to health for those who feel isolated, lost and terrified and a reflective guide for the health professionals who work with them. In telling her story Cathy displays how an analytical psychotherapeutic process can guide a trauma survivor from confusion through chaos to stability and understanding. more...

We humans are capable of brilliant ideas and inventions, but we have yet to learn the lessons that will prove that we deserve our place on the planet as the thinking animal. We have overpopulated our lands, overfished our oceans and overmined our resources.

What are our choices when oil runs out? How do we obtain environmental and social benefits as one fifth of the planet's population become tourists? more... BUY

FRESH CUT FLOWERS AN EXPERT GUIDE TO SELECTING AND CARING FOR FRESH CUT FLOWERS Author: Gregory Milner - Principal, Marjory Milner College of Floristry in AUSTRALIA
RRP: AU$59.99 HARDCOVER

REVIEW: - One of Amazon USA's Top 100 Reviewers
***** Five Stars PLUS'Fresh Cut Flowers' by Gregory Milner is an expert guide to selecting and caring for cut flowers. The book is so beautiful it will be a prized coffee table display in any home. The book is a most unusually helpful guide to bouquets for any occasion. Each double page has an exquisite photograph, making the book a treasure of anyone who likes flowers (and who doesn't?). Most of us have had the occasion of spending a good deal of money at a florist shop only to be dismayed that the floral display was drooping or turning yellow after only a couple of days, when the money spent should merit it lasting at least a week. This book tells what kind of flowers to buy for each occasion, from weddings to intimate dinners. And it tells in details how to keep each looking perky for much longer, thus saving the price of the book in just a few visits to the florist. The second part of the book is a complete encyclopedia of flowers suitable for cutting, with beautiful photos of each and interesting details about the history and traditional use of each, as well as how to receive the most benefit from each occasion of use. THIS BOOK IS A TREASURE FOR YEARS - more... BUY

On 16th October 1968, at the Mexico Olympic Games, the image of two black American athletes, heads bowed, black gloved fists raised into the night sky in the so called ‘Black Power Salute' rocked the Olympic Movement to its very core and also sent shockwaves throughout the world; a world already reeling from the recent assassinations of Dr. Martin Luther King and Senator Robert Kennedy, China’s Cultural Revolution, the brutal murder of hundreds of Mexican students, and anti-Vietnam War demonstrations. 'A Race to Remember' the Peter Norman Story is the biography of the white Australian who stood tall, proudly wearing, alongside his silver medal, a civil rights badge in support of the silent protest made against racial discrimination. For the first time ever, the full story of the protest is told with input from all three Olympic medallists.......more BUY |

FROM BUDDHA TO BONO SEEKING SUSTAINABILITY author: Emeritus Professor Tor Hundloe RRP: AU$34.99

This is a very special book. Until now no one has put together the full environmental and ethical story facing Planet Earth, as Tor Hudloe has done. In this book he has put squarely on the agenda the key matters which almost all - including Al Gore - are still dodging for fear of the heavy hand of the church and of conservative economists. And that is to recognise nothing less than the need to reduce our global population; the need to recognise that our market economy does not have to grow forever to retain its vitality; and above all the need to get serious about linking the global economy to the global environment

PETE THE PURPLE FLYING PIG'S FRIENDS AND ADVENTURES: more about Pete and friends...
SERIES REVIEW: "These delightful books can support learning in many ways. With several words in each title that use the same initial sound, the books are excellent tools for fostering phonological awareness and later on for teaching alliteration and other devices that writers employ when considering word choices. That said, each title succeeds on its own as an entertaining story about an endearing pig who is purple rather than pink, who is fastidious instead of dirty, and who puts to rest the notion that pigs can't fly. Pete visits many famous spots around the globe, opening the possibility for all kinds of geography lessons...Hilarious cartoon illustrations and simple but imaginative story lines will keep listeners engaged and coming back for more porcine adventures." -School Library Journal
