Kathy Mexted's book of Australian women of the air has a stellar cast: Helicopter pilot Alida Soemawinata ascends over Kata Tjua. Paramotor pilot Sacha Dench follows migrating swans from the Arctic tundra to the English countryside. Birdwoman Stef Walter wing walks. Hot air balloonist Donna Tasker glides over Bristol, Myanmar and much of Australia. Gomeroi astrophysicist Krystal De Napoli studies the Seven Sisters in the dark night sky. Aerobatic pilot Emma McDonald debuts her solo routine at an airshow high above the glittering Gold Coast.
Elizabeth Fortescue captures the 'many lives' of one of Australia's most celebrated contemporary artists.
From her time as a war artist and her involvement with refugees and people who've been in gaol, through to her family, which includes a number of Ukrainian psychics, there is a lot to know about what informed Wendy.
The book is enriched by essays from five leading curators, journalists and writers.
Confronting, confounding and hard to the core, this is Jay Malkoun in his own words – a compelling narrative of violence, contradiction and redemption.
Jay's story is both an unprecedented tour of the underworld and a compelling exploration of a man who has lived a hundred lifetimes in one and is now ready to tell his story.
‘Stop screaming, I’m scared too!’ is not what you’d expect to see on the back of a loadmaster’s helmet in a Chinook helicopter flying over southern Afghanistan, but for Rod Henderson it sums up his 22 years of service as a soldier in the Australian Army.
This is not the story of a general or a Special Forces hero. It is the extraordinary memoir of a regular Australian soldier. Like so many others who have served their country with honour and distinction, the little-known stories of ordinary soldiers deserve to be told.
Scott Ryder's Forged in Fire takes us inside the secretive world of the commandos. Ryder shares battlefield stories from his tours to Afghanistan, where his regiment saw some of the heaviest fighting Australian forces have experienced since the Vietnam War.
After being seriously injured in a shocking Black Hawk helicopter crash in Kandahar, he was the only survivor to return to active service.
Alyssa Huynh says ‘I’ve played the role of the quiet and embarrassed Asian girl who shyly laughs along more than I should have in my lifetime. Enough is enough.’
Growing up, Alyssa heard stories from her family about their journey from Vietnam to Australia following the fall of Saigon and the racism they experienced upon arrival. While the discrimination she faced was different, she never quite felt like she belonged either. This is a book for anyone who believes that racism has no place in Australia’s future and is ready to take action.
Tess Scholfield-Peters tells the story of her grandfather, Harry Peters, formerly Hermann Ludwig Pollnow – known to his family as Mutzi. Born in Berlin in 1920, as a teenager he fled Nazi Germany and landed in rural Australia. Harry's parents, Max and Edith, stayed and perished in Nazi camps. This is a story, of forced migration, assimilation, loss, resilience and determination despite the odds.
Grantlee Kieza tells the inspiring story of the nursing hero, Sister Viv, who survived a wartime massacre and dedicated her life to saving others.
Australian Army nurse Vivian Bullwinkel was just twenty-six when Japanese soldiers marched her and her fellow nurses into the shallow waters of a remote beach to be executed.
