SURF LIKE A WOMAN

Pauline Menczer tells of becoming world champion surfer when women weren't welcome on the waves.

In the '80s and '90s, surf culture was toxic, especially towards women. But Pauline Menczer – a dirt-poor, chronically ill, freckle-faced teen from Bondi – defied insults and intimidation to ride the waves. The reason: she simply loved to surf.

SOCCEROOS: A WORLD CUP ODYSSEY

John Maynard, Emeritus Professor of History, brings us two magnificent volumes on the Socceroos' journey through World Cup qualifying campaigns.

This is an in-depth look at the team's history with commentary on every qualifying match, the role and decisions of governing bodies such as FIFA and Football Australia, media coverage, and the reception afforded to players and coaches.

It is a significant history of the game: simultaneously viewed through the expert eyes of an eminent historian, and written by a passionate, lifelong fan.
