Australian Theatres and Cinemas showcases the countrys prime examples of these places, where, without exception, the show must goon.

Restoring Your Body, Mind and Energy Through a 3Minute Nervous System Reset
By Kusal Goonewardena
You are not broken. That is the first thing Kusal Goonewardena wants you to understand. After nearly thirty years of clinical practice and close to 100,000 patient sessions, he has heard one version of the same story thousands of times: the persistent back pain, the exhaustion that sleep does not resolve, the tightness that no treatment seems to fix. And almost every time, the person sitting across from him believes their body has failed them.
It has not. Drawing on neuroscience, clinical experience and emerging research into the nervous system and vagus nerve, Your Body Is Not Broken explains why pain, tension and fatigue are often protective responses rather than signs of damage.
Featuring a simple three-minute daily reset built around breathing, movement and recovery, this is not a book about doing more. It is a book about finally understanding what your body has been trying to tell you, and giving it the conditions it needs to do what it has always beendesigned to do.

By Effy Alexakis, Leonard Janiszewski NSW
The history of Greek culture, life, and family in Australia are inseparable from long hours of work and laughter in Greek-owned cafes scattered across our cities and countryside. Greek cafes and milk bars weren't just a vogue, but a landscape that replicated evolving Greek experiences of life overseas, and a strong commitment to making it work by any means necessary.
In this volume, documentary photographer Effy Alexakis and historian Leonard Janiszewski delve deeper into the relationship of people and place, adding more depth, more unforgettable photos, and more meaning to those that made the first book such a hit.
'People and Place' examines events aligned with Australian history, and the Greek's navigation of migration, settlement, innovation, racism, war, and community and family life. Touching testimonies accompanied by phenomenal photography exemplify generational truths, encounters and dreams of the Greek cafes and milk bars of Australia.

John Bell AO OBE FRSN, co-founder of Nimrod Theatre Company and founder of the Bell Shakespeare Company, is a preeminent Australian thespian, Shakespearean scholar, and Australian National Living Treasure. Over his 60-plus year career on the stage, he has influenced the shape of Australian theatre and walked alongside Shakespeare as the Bard's plays are imagined and reimagined on stages the world over.
ByJohn Bell
Shakespeare's plays bring us face to face with the reality of evil, the magic of the natural world, the convolution of moral behaviour, and the brevity and preciousness of our existence. As founder of Australia's Bell Shakespeare Company, renowned actor and director John Bell has spent his life in the company of these stories, and knows perhaps better than anyone what it takes to put these complexities on stage.
In these pages, Bell draws on his lifetime of personal and professional experience as he speaks on Shakespeare's most absorbing stories, questions and characters-from the complexities of casting Hamlet to an examination of the Bard's malleable relationship with time.
Peppered with passages, recommendations and anecdotes from on and off the stage, Living Shakespeare is the perfect mix of academic and personal, drawing from a lifetime of study, fellowship and performance to bring together a guided exploration of Shakespeare's work through Bell's eyes, perfect for enjoyers of theatre, literature, acting and, of course, Shakespeare.

After nearly four years apart, the biggest boy band in the world is back. In just over a decade the BTS boys - RM, Suga, J-Hope, Jin, Jimin, V and Jungkook - have built on their success in their South Korean homeland to storm the charts around the world. They have chalked up sales of more than 50 million albums, made number one on iTunes charts in more than 100 countries, and become the first and only group to surpass 37 billion streams on Spotify. They are the first South Korean group to have performed at, and been nominated for, a US Grammy Award, earning five nominations between 2021 and 2023.
BTS has won 26 Guinness World Records and made Time magazine's list of Most Influential People in 2019. Between 2022 and 2025, BTS achieved something unprecedented: they remained the world's biggest group even while fulfilling mandatory South Korean military service. Not only did they complete their duty, but they also used the time to release successful solo albums and prove themselves as individual artists. In January 2026, with all members reunited, BTS announced their triumphant return with a new album and a historic 82-date world tour across five continents.

From extractive capitalism to regenerative returns
By Dr. Richard Stockdale
For centuries, nature has been the most underpriced asset on the planet - but that is finally beginning to change. Rewilding Wealth argues that natural capital is emerging as one of the most important asset classes of our time. Drawing on experience building the UK's leading natural capital business, this book explores the market mechanisms, business models, and cultural shifts aligning financial returns with ecological restoration. Provocative yet grounded, it challenges investors, business leaders, and financial professionals to rethink where long-term value is created - and asks whether they are ready to seize the opportunity.
Using powerful technology in a deeply human way
By Daniel Sih, Paul Matthews
Al promised to save us time. Instead, most professionals are working faster, thinking less, and wondering where the day went. Wise Al goes deeper than the usual productivity advice. It asks a question that most books on technology never ask: why does time-saving technology so rarely save us time? The answer has less to do with the tools themselves and more to do with how human beings respond to new-found capacity. We fill it. Tasks multiply, expectations rise, the pace increases, and the work that actually matters, the deep thinking, the considered judgement, the real human connection, gets squeezed out. Daniel Sih and Paul Matthews have spent years working with professionals across Australia and beyond.

Thisselection of Middleton's lettersoffersanew beginningpoint for readers of this dazzling, many-talented writer. The first letter here dates from 1936, the last from 2015, and this selection charts a life lived to the full as the poet reports on his work, his writing life and his continuous transatlantic engagement with the poets and critics of his generation. Enthusiastic, discursive and slyly humorous, Christopher Middleton (1926-2015) was an electrifying correspondent. This selection of his letters spans his entire literary career, illuminating his own practice and the modernist poetic project more broadly. He is represented here as poet, translator, teacher, reader: perhaps most of all, voracious noticer.

Pier52
JaneDuran
By Jane Duran
In the summer of 1975, the artist Gordon Matta-Clark broke into Pier 52, an abandoned warehouse on the HudsonRiver in Lower Manhattan. He described the pier as 'an intact nineteenth century industrial relic of steel and corrugated tin looking like an enormous Christian basilica whose dim interior was barely lit by the clerestory windows fifty feet overhead.' Using hand-held tools, he and his helpers removed some heavy floor beams so the river below was exposed. They made cuts into the walls and roof of the warehouse. In this way movement and light entered the vast space so it became 'a sun and water celebration'. He named this project 'Day's Passing', and then 'Day'sEnd'.

ATTH£ FREKCH SALONS
By Tom Thompson NSW
From 1872 to 1939, a significant number of Australian and New Zealand artists were chosen for exhibition at the annual French Salons. The imprimatur of the Salons bestowed prestige, publicity and visibility, and increased an artist's saleability, both at home and abroad. But the character of the Salons fragmented over time and selection became coloured by the nature of the Salon and the values it represented. Tradition, rebellion, innovation and unique interests became arbiters and by the close of these years, France had lost its position as the centre of the art world.

Each bird longs to bring a gift to the newborn baby in the manger. Nightingale sings a sweet song; Rooster caws a special call; Stork plucks her feathers to make a pillow."I have nothing to give," thinks little Robin.

Jeff O'Lantern
By Charlie Greenwald, Illustrated by Jelke Van Antwerpen
You all know Jack O'Lantern, with his wild eyes and crooked teeth. He's the best on the block at keeping the trick-or-treaters on Irving Street from taking more than one piece of Halloween candy. But have you met his little brother, Jeff? Jeff O'Lantern has kind eyes and a friendly smile, and he's a little shy. Unlike his big brother, he's not very good at scaring away overeager trickor-treaters. Even his boo sounds sweet rather than spooky. But he's going to keep trying to live up to the O'Lantern name and make his brother proud.

Author Bio:
Author: After years in the corporate world, Katina now writes picture books for children that explore the messy, marvellous reality of neurodiversity, but without labels. Her stories share tales of characters with big feelings, misunderstood behaviours, and the beauty of embracing who you are. Katina's stories are inspired by lived experience, advocacy for neurodiversity, and a belief that every child deserves to feel seen and celebrated. Through heartfelt storytelling, Katina reframes the traits often viewed as "challenges" into strengths waiting to be understood. Her characters offer comfort, connection, and reassurance, reminding young readers that who they are is enough.
