In this updated edition, join award-winning author Chris Hammer on a journey through Australia's largest river system, the Murray-Darling Basin.
His travels during the crippling millennium drought take us through riverland communities; sharing the laughter, the sadness surroundng a river that is collapsing and reflections of the people he meets along the way.
Journalist Nathan Dunne was living the life of his dreams in London until, one evening, he jumped into a lake for a swim. When he emerged, his identity was simply gone. He felt completely lost and in acute, inexplicable pain. He knew who he was supposed to be but had no connection to the person named Nathan. His memories were distant and separate, not his. Everything was unfamiliar. All he felt was terror.
This was the beginning of his experience with depersonalisation, a little-understood and on-the-rise mystery mental illness that causes a person to dissociate from their body and thoughts
Criminal defence lawyer, Jahan Kalantar has helped people in their most desperate hour, from hardened jailbirds to accidental offenders, disadvantaged delinquents to undeserving scapegoats.
Along the way, Jahan has learned that it’s not always the smartest person in the room who wins the day. There are other, more important skills: like being able to ask for help, stick to your values, listen without judgement, know when to be sceptical, and apologise like you mean it.
Jahan shares his insights through laugh-out-loud funny stories of his own triumphs and blunders, as well as those of his clients.
'Being stuck' can look and feel different to different people – trapped, powerless, hopeless, frozen, frustrated, numb, disconnected, anxious, overwhelmed. Getting stuck is part of being human. But staying stuck for too long robs us of our vitality. It costs us healthy relationships, meaningful pursuits and, most importantly, the life we want to live.
Dr Emily Musgrove, resident psychologist on the popular podcast The Imperfects, shares the key psychological processes and practical skills we need to know for transformative and lasting change.
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 …
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!
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.
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.
Pocket sized but powerful, In the National Interest is a new series in the Monash University Publishing list that is focused on the challenges Australia confronts. The series informs, influences and inspires public discourse. Showcasing experts both from within Monash and beyond, these short, thought-provoking and accessible books will address the major issues of our times, from public policy to governance and government. Perfect for the thoughtful commuter or an intellectual lunch break.
