MOTHER'S DAY SPECIALS! SHOW ME MORE
Several years ago, Jane Rawson packed up her beloved inner-city home and moved to the bush. Scared about what climate change would do to the big city, and keen to meet more animals, she found a new home in a cottage in the Huon Valley. But in a place where nature never really leaves you alone, she had to confront her uncomfortable relationship with the outdoors.
Lottie Dalziel’s (founder of Banish and BRAD) book seeks to answer the questions that we all have – how to live well but with less impact on the planet, while saving money at the same time …
Murriyang is, in part, Stan Grant’s response to the Voice referendum but it eschews politics for love.
In this gorgeous, grace-filled book, he zooms out to reflect on the biggest questions, ranging across the history, literature, theology, music and art that has shaped him. Setting aside anger for kindness, he reaches past the secular to the sacred and transcendent.
John Safran, always thought-provoking, digs into many facets of being Jewish and the stereotypes and generalisations that play out across the media landscape.
Discovering Kanye West is praising Adolf Hitler, he heads to America to find out what's up.
Kanye proves elusive, one thing tumbles into another, and John ultimately ends up squatting in one of Kanye's uninhabited mansions in the rolling hills of Los Angeles, using it as a 'writers' retreat', to write this book!
Cameron Daddo, in both memoir and conversations with others, writes about confidence: how we nurture it, how we lose it and how we can get it back again. Perhaps surprisingly, Daddo grew up lacking confidence. He was a stutterer as a kid, then a restless student and uni dropout, before going on to build a life in showbiz. Daddo discusses all of this with Keith Urban, Marcia Hines, Michael O'Loughlin, Ryan 'Fitzy' Fitzgerald, Indira Naidoo and Alyssa Healy in revealing conversations.
Eric Beecher, Crikey owner and ex-News Corp and Fairfax editor, lifts the lid on the abuse of power by media moguls – from Hearst to Musk – and on his own unique experience of working for (and being sued by) the Murdochs.
Johann Hari, author of Lost Connections and Stolen Focus, takes a revelatory look at the new drugs transforming weight loss as we know it – sharing his personal experience on Ozempic and examining our ability to heal society’s dysfunctional relationship with food, weight and our bodies.
Saul Perlmutter co-authors a definitive guide to thinking clearly in a world full of overwhelming information. In our deluge of information, it's getting harder and harder to distinguish the revelatory from the contradictory. How do we make health decisions in the face of conflicting medical advice? How can we navigate the next uncomfortable discussion with family members, who follow completely different experts on climate?
ABBEY'S BOOKSELLER PICK ----- In certain circles and places, Arnold Dix is known. The people of Monbulk where he has lived for decades know him as a sunflower grower, sometime truck delivery guy, bit of a handyman. There are lawyers who know of his work in scientific and environmental cases. Consultants who know him as a top authority on fire safety. Geologists and engineers who know him as the president of the International Tunnelling and Underground Space Association. Thousands of workers from third world countries who know him as the man who saved them from a form of slavery. And millions of Indians who regard him as a hero, because in December 2023 he made a promise he somehow miraculously kept – that 41 men trapped in a collapsed tunnel would come home, safe and sound.
How this working class publican's son has become all this – and more! – is related in this highly engaging account of a self-confessed eccentric whose overriding philosophy is being kind and helping others. I thoroughly enjoyed this! Lindy
