Author Bio:
David Griffin is a former footballer turned runner and is the current General Manager of Emerging Brands at Munro Footwear Group in Australia. With a corporate leadership background, he has held senior roles with brands such as Nike and Puma and has worked in international markets. David has produced multiple documentaries and is driven by a belief in the power of storytelling to inspire meaningful change. His creative work is grounded in a commitment to inclusion and diversity, with a particular focus on supporting First Peoples and underrepresented communities. An avid runner, lifelong learner, and passionate change-maker, David continues to be fascinated by people and the stories they tell.
That Race is a collection of biographical short stories and interviews, from a broad range of sports people. Some of the subjects are well known, others aren’t, but what it examines is the spectrum of human characteristics, emotions, passion and resilience. In uncovering the stories, we learn about Australia’s indigenous history and the quirkiness of human nature. Each non-fiction tale explores significant moments, and, unlike most sports books, the on-field action takes a back seat to the focus on life and emotion. Most of the interviews highlight what happened outside the ground, oval, ring or track. Some stories take place around Cathy Freemans win in the 1996 Stawell 400 metres, whilst others, are more metaphorical, but no less impactful.

Men were raised for one world — then found themselves in another. Lead with clarity. Live with purpose. Build real connection.

Author Bio:
Lynsey McDonnell, born in the UK to Irish parents, grew up living above a pub in the north of England before emigrating with her family to Western Australia in her teens. Her fascination by what (and who) it takes to shift from feeling untethered and uprooted to feeling ‘home’ feeds into the themes of her novels. As a chartered accountant and chief financial officer, Lynsey’s work has taken her across several industries and countries, but her passion has always been books. Lynsey lives in Perth, WA with her husband and two teenaged children.
Now: Rebecca only came to meet her biological father.
But echoes of passion, heartache, and courage from the past awaken long-buried desires — especially when it comes to a certain handsome history professor.
From Liverpool and Ireland to the sunburnt shores of Western Australia, love will find its way home.

Freddie Mercury
By the Man Who Knew Him Best
By Peter Freestone
Peter Freestone was Freddie Mercury’s personal assistant and closest confidante for the last twelve years of Mercury’s life. Freestone lived with Mercury in London, Munich and New York and was by his side when he died.
In this deeply personal book, Freestone paints a striking portrait of Mercury, revealing a sensitive, vulnerable soul hidden behind the world-conquering superstar persona.
From their first meeting at the Biba department store in the early 1970s when Queen was still relatively unknown, to global superstardom, Freestone saw it all. He witnessed the generosity, the excess, and the celebrity friends who came and went. From the famous names – including Elton John, Elizabeth Taylor and Rod Stewart – to the shadowy army of lovers, fixers and hangers-on, Freestone saw them all play their part in Mercury’s life.
Freestone’s best-selling account of a talented and extravagant star’s life and death is compelling, entertaining and ultimately, very touching.
Illustrated with many photos from personal and Freestone’s own archives. First published in 2000, Freestone’s best-selling account of his life alongside the singular icon is the closest fans will get to an autobiography of Mercury.

The Comeback
Elvis and the Story of the 68 Special
By Simon Goddard
As 1968 dawns, the once King of rock'n'roll faces cultural oblivion.
While elsewhere the Sixties are swinging, for Elvis they're sinking- in terrible films, drug addiction, paranoia, religious mania and the mercenary wiles of his psychopathic manager.
In the words of the hip young director assigned to his first TV special, Elvis' reputation was "in the toilet." However, the same director, Steve Binder, was now about to save it. Together they would embark on the biggest creative fight of Elvis' life.
The Comeback plots the incredible true story of Elvis' fall and rises from Army discharge to iconic black leather resurrection.
Simon Goddard takes the reader inside the life, music and mind of Elvis, isolated from an America unravelling in its own Sixties chaos of war, racism, riots and assassinations, until his world and theirs collide in the greatest performance of his life.
A genre-busting modernist rock'n'roll fable unlike any music biography you've ever read, The Comeback is the definitive account of how it took Elvis eight years on the big screen to lose his crown - but just one magical hour on a small one to win it back.

Bowie Odyssey 76
By Simon Goddard
Book by book, year by year, the ultimate literary trip through Bowie's greatest decade. 1976, and in England the heat is rising. Immigration protests, racist murders, the rise of the National Front and the return of David Bowie, now the Thin White Duke, crowing to the papers how Britain "could benefit from a fascist leader". But with his incorrigible best buddy Iggy Pop in tow, as he gravitates towards the divided city of Berlin, his wake-up call is coming - and with it a brave new musical direction that will cement Bowie's place as the most innovative artist of the decade. The seventh volume of Simon Goddard's critically acclaimed Bowie Odyssey series is a stark and brutal black-and-white tale of art, anger, discord and salvation.
Dear Boy
The
Life of Keith Moon
By Tony Fletcher
Keith Moon was more than just rock's greatest drummer; he was a phenomenal character and an extravagant hell raiser. In this classic biography, Tony Fletcher questions the myths, avoids the time-honoured anecdotes and talks afresh to those who were closest to Moon including Kim, his wife of eight years, and Linda, his sister and Annette Walter-Lax, his main girlfriend of the final years. Fast-paced and illuminating, Dear Boy features an all-star cast of over 100 interviewees who worked and partied with Moon, such as Oliver Reed, Alice Cooper, Dave Edmunds, Jeff Beck, John Entwistle. Full of fascinating insights into the history of The Who and the rise of post-war British pop culture, Dear Boy is an epic tale of indulgence, selfdestruction, and a life lived recklessly - and lost too soon.
Postcards From Scotland
Scottish Independent Music 1983-1995
By Graham McPhee
SCOTLAND, 1983. The key musicians of the country's first wave of postpunk had either disbanded or taken the big gold road south in search of major label deals in London. Into the vacuum came a new generation - rebellious, young musicians determined to reinvent the scene in their own image. In this compelling and dynamic oral history, Postcards from Scotland chronicles the radical transformation of Scotland's independent music scene from 1983-1995. Based on over 100 first-person interviews with the musicians, record labels, venues, promoters, and journalists who shaped the era, Grant McPhee lets the key players tell the story in their own words - including the Cocteau Twins, Shop Assistants, Teenage Fanclub, The Jesus and Mary Chain, Primal Scream, and many more. Postcards from Scotland is the definitive story of the radicals, misfits and experimentalists who made independent music what it is today.

Balenciaga: The Fashion Icons
By Alison James
The Balenciaga label was founded by Cristo bal Balenciaga in 1919 in San Sebastia n, Spain. Gaining rapid recognition, Balenciaga opened his first Paris boutique in 1937, establishing his fashion house in the heart of the fashion world.

His minimalist yet unique designs set a new standard in luxury fashion, influencing generations of designers to come.
Today, under the creative direction of Demna Gvasalia, the brand has become a symbol of avant-garde style and streetwear luxury, with oversized silhouettes, logo-centric pieces, and edgy reinterpretations of everyday garments.
Balenciaga’s signature blend of high fashion with street style has made it beloved by celebrities and fashion enthusiasts alike, with its Triple S sneakers and oversized coats becoming instantly recognisable.
This book, filled with stunning images of some of Balenciaga’s most iconic pieces, explores the brands evolution from Cristo bal Balenciaga’s Spanish roots to its current role as a pioneering force in luxury fashion.
It captures the essence of Balenciaga’s innovative spirit, from its timeless couture heritage to its present-day reinvention.

Yves Saint Laurent: The Fashion Icons
Anne Vallayer-Coster
By Kelsey Brosnan
Anne Vallayer-Coster (1744-1818) was one of just four female academicians admitted to the French Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture in the late 18th century. She made her debut at the Paris Salon only a year after joining the academy with her outstanding stilllife’s. Later, she secured Queen Marie Antoinette as a patron. This book, the first English-language publication in over 20 years dedicated to this artist, provides a fresh, feminist re-evaluation of her biography and artistic context. Exploring the wide range of objects, materials and textures which the artist depicted - from food and flowers to guns and game - this study offers a new, synaesthetic framework for experiencing the visceral qualities of Vallayer-Coster's still-life paintings as they were understood in her own time.
By Katlijne Van der Stighelen
Active in Brussels in the middle of the 17th century, Michaelina Wautier is now regarded as one of the foremost female artists of her time, although for many years her work was misattributed to her male contemporaries. Continually pushing boundaries as a female artist, Wautier exhibited an in-depth knowledge of classical mythology and was one of the first female painters to depict the male nude. Her body of work includes huge altarpieces, charming genre scenes and extraordinary flower garlands, as well as portraits and history paintings. In this book, the first illustrated monograph on the artist, leading Wautier expert Katlijne Van der Stighelen highlights Wautier's originality and the complexity of her oeuvre. Considering how Wautier navigated restricting gender norms to stake out a productive career as a painter, the author places her work in the context of other European artists, both female and male.

Collect Print Collage Printing with Nature
By Sue Brown
Sue Brown is an artist inspired by nature as much as by process. Encounters with birds, activities on the allotment and the garden are recorded through sketchbook drawings and printmaking, capturing the beauty of the natural world.
Learn how to collect items from nature and use them to print and collage a record.
This book shares many of the techniques Sue Brown uses to record the natural environment: simple printmaking, cyanotype and botanical contact prints.
Working with natural materials and processes is an excellent way to record walks, keep a journal of the development of a garden or a sketchbook marking the passing of the seasons.
In this world we yearn to slow down, find space in our lives and re connect with nature, to that end we often look to the natural world to recharge.
It is accepted that being in nature makes us feel physically and psychologically better, whether it is a long walk in the countryside, a stroll in a local park or sitting in a garden.
As part of that connection with nature, we record it through photographs, drawings or collecting leaves, feathers, stones, and shells.
We like to bring the outside into our homes with collections and reminders of our experiences of the great outdoors.

Shadows of the Republic
The Rebirth of Fascism in America and How to Defeat It for Good
By Omer Aziz
What is driving the rise of fascism and how can we stop it? In this singular investigation into the sinister realms of fascism and its many guises, Omer Aziz, author of the acclaimed Brown Boy and contributing writer for the Boston Globe, sets out to answer the question: Why are so many young people like him drifting to the ultranationalist right? Shadows of the Republic offers a haunting portrait of American fascism, how it began, and why it is now focused on immigration, technology, and the purification of society.
Fascism is not coming to America; it has been here for a long time. With astringent clarity, Aziz traces the flaring up of fascist ideas in both American history and our current moment. From the dominance of the KKK, to the Nazi rally in New York in 1939, to the alliances between U.S. elites and European fascists, Aziz examines the long shadows of fascism. Traveling across the United States and Europe, he illuminates connections between street fascists and the ones in suits, between Hitler and the country across the ocean he so admired. Using interviews with experts and his own experience, he also offers an anti-fascist playbook to reinvigorate democracy and our civic life. Fascism is a precise term, cheapened by overuse. Yet when a word describes reality, we can't afford to ignore it. From the pulsing power of an ideology of the past to its comeback among even those with the most to lose, Shadows of the Republic offers the definitive story of American fascism and what we can do to salvage democracy for years to come.

All About My Brother
A Story of Disability, Abuse and Care
By Ilana Snyder
Key Sales Points:
*A deeply moving real-life account of survival and resilience despite injustice against disabled people in care. * Explores the social, legal and institutional failures within the Order of St John of God, highlighted by findings from the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse.
According to Archbishop Mannix, boys like David Kanatopsky were the lucky ones. Having sustained an acquired brain injury at birth, Davey grew up in a loving Jewish family in Melbourne. At 16, his care was entrusted to the Hospitaller Brothers of St John of God, a Catholic order dedicated to meeting the needs of people with intellectual disabilities. But behind closed doors, and away from his family, Davey was subjected to horrific physical, psychological and sexual abuse. As the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse revealed, the Order of St John of God was deemed the worst of the worst. In All About My Brother, Ilana Snyder asks us to consider the personal, social and institutional forces that enabled and protected this perpetration of evil. She shows how survival plays out for the abused and their loved ones, navigating complex legal, financial and bureaucratic systems. In telling Davey’s story, Ilana writes for all those who care for the disabled, for those who care for justice in our society and for those who care to understand the humanity of people who cannot advocate for themselves.

ADHD Body and Mind
A Compassionate Guide to Rewilding Your Nervous System with Neuroscience, Nutrition, and Gut-Brain Health
By Dr. Miguel Toribio -Mateas, Brian Sutton
An evidence-based exploration of neuroscience, nutrition and the gut-brain connection from a clinical neuroscientist living with ADHD.
This is a book that speaks to both your biology and your belonging. It’s a unique, neurodiversity-affirmative resource that:
* Reframes ADHD as a natural neurotype, a different way of living and making sense of the world, rather than a disorder.
* Expands neuroscience beyond the brain and into the whole body. Showing how gut, microbes, breath, heart, hormones and immune system are always in conversation.
* Reimagines nutrition and gut-brain health through a non-diet lens, offering flexible, compassionate tools that nourish body and mind without rules, shame or restriction.
* Extends gentle invitations, not prescriptions, to honour your ADHD as a whole body-mind experience, rather than reducing it to symptoms to be managed.
In a nutshell, ADHD Body and Mind is a companion, offering space to breathe, reflect, and return to yourself, repeatedly
It will help you reconnect with your body’s natural rhythms, release some of the weight of shame and perfectionism, and discover a way of living with ADHD that feels not just manageable, but meaningful.

How to Save Your Own Life
A guide to recovering from an eating disorder as an autistic person
By Rachel Clark, Leanne Maskell, John Stewart
The essential guide to surviving an eating disorder as an autistic individual: how autism can aid your recovery and how treatment should be adapted.
There are a thousand books about eating disorders, taking everything from gender to age into account. But they have a habit of assuming that you’re neurotypical, and that your brain works in a very specific way.
Not exactly helpful if yours doesn’t!
In this essential self-help guide, Rachel Clark shares what she’s learned from her own experiences as an autistic and ADHD young person with anorexia, and how you can use it for your own recovery.
She explores how eating disorders can be a coping mechanism for the stress of a neurotypical world, and how autism can both create the ideal environment for an eating disorder to develop but also provide key tools to overcome it.
Practical exercises help you get to grips with your ED in a way that suits your brain, and advice from direct experience supports you in advocating for yourself and creating an environment where you can save your own life on your own terms.

Enchanting Borneo 3/e
By David Bowden
Enchanting Borneo describes the treasure house of natural beauty and biodiversity to be found in the Malaysian states of Sabah and Sarawak, the independent Sultanate of Brunei and the Indonesian state of Kalimantan. Described by Charles Darwin as one great luxuriant hothouse made by nature for herself, Borneo is home to a rich profusion of flora and fauna, including 673 bird species; a diversity of mammals including the Proboscis Monkey, the Bornean Pygmy Elephant and the Orang-Utan; and an immense variety of marine life, invertebrates, amphibians and reptiles. From the spectacular peak of Mount Kinabalu, one of the tallest mountains in Southeast Asia, to the depths of one of the world’s largest caves in Sarawaks Mulu National Park.
An Illustrated History of Indonesia
By Jose Raymund Canoy
An Illustrated History of Indonesia describes the history of Indonesia from prehistoric times up to the present day. The narrative is an amalgam of Indonesia's own original traditions, most of Asia's great faiths and civilisations and 450-odd years of Western colonialism. Its turbulent passage since independence has produced a country with enormous potential for the future. Ray Canoy examines how today's reasonably strong state has emerged from this history to mediate between an extremely diverse array of cultures, ethnic groups and socioeconomic actors across the world's largest archipelago. The first chapters follow Indonesians from the prehistoric Austronesian-speaking population waves that settled the islands, on to the Hindu-Buddhist high cultures that gave its early political centres a lasting heritage.
The Weekender Madrid
By Charlotte Bergan Cioli
Discover Madrid through the eyes of Charlotte Bergan Cioli as she rediscovers it for herself. Her home for two years, she invites you to join her on a journey through the places and spaces that have made her welcome and proud to call the city home. Move from Thursday to Sunday through bookshops, markets, and museums; from morning coffee on a rooftop terrace to tapas in a taverna; from waterlilies in the park to fine art in the Museo National Thyssen. Madrid is full of life and invites you to share in it. The Weekender Madrid is a book dedicated to rediscovering the city through the eyes of an adopted local. Charlotte Bergan Cioli moved to Madrid two years ago and is effusive about its finer points in the way of all converts. The trajectory of the book over a long weekend is her love letter to the city, checking back into a hotel as if a tourist and exploring the places that she has returned to again, with a fresh eye and the lens of her camera.

Sticky Dogs and Stardust - The Third Innings
When the Legends Played in the Leagues
By Scott Oliver
The latest instalment of the award-winning Sticky Dogs and Stardust series, ‘The Third innings’ is another cache of fascinating and – in many cases – previously untold stories documenting the experiences of superstar cricketers playing for recreational cricket teams.
Unlike other sports, cricket – and especially the club cricket of England and the British Isles – allows weekend players to rub shoulders with international stars and even superstars in a fully competitive context, resulting in memorable experiences (both on and off the field) for pros and amateurs alike.
These magical stories are unique to cricket, yet no one has collected them in one place. Until now.
Tirelessly researched and written with flair, wit and a deep understanding of amateur cricket, this third instalment of Sticky Dogs and Stardust is (like its predecessors) a must-read for every cricket-lover and will also appeal to those interested in the sporting and social history of the UK.
Players featured include Allan Border, Sourav Ganguly, Javed Miandad, Justin Langer, Carl Hooper, Martin Crowe, Andy Flower, Mushtaq Ahmed, Merv Hughes, SF Barnes, Patrick Patterson and more.

How Parents Can Empower Kids to Build Their Own Worlds
By Kate Allen Fox, Gennie Gorback M.Ed.
Why the best thing for your kids is also the most fun! We live in a society that undervalues play. Increasingly, children lead regimented lives that include commuting, school, and extracurriculars, with little time for the play and exploration that allow them to develop emotionally, socially, and believe it or not, academically. Among many other benefits, open-ended play, more than any other activity, has been shown to improve children's confidence, agency, literacy development, social and emotional skills, and problem-solving abilities. Play quite literally changes the structure of the brain and is a key building block for children's social and emotional well-being. And it's fun! When our children build their own worlds through play, they develop their brains, learn new skills, and increase emotional regulation. Our kids are already primed to play and learn.

Why One-Child Families Matter
By Amy Brown
Around 45% of families in the UK are now one-child families, increasingly by choice but also due to factors outside parents' control, such as the cost of living, infertility, relationship breakdown and birth trauma. Whatever their circumstances, parents are often told that their child will struggle with friendships, be lonely, or be spoiled, and they may frequently be asked if they are having more children, which can be intrusive and upsetting. Why One-Child Families Matter looks at the evidence surrounding one-child families, showing how childhood experiences and outcomes are complex and shaped by much more than the number of siblings a child has. With strategies to support only children, and contributions from hundreds of one-child families, it reveals the ways that one-child families can thrive.
