Unveiling cricket's greatest entertainer! The first Australian cricketer to play 100 internationals across all three levels (Tests, ODIs and T20s), David Warner is a champion of his generation; fabulous but flawed. No Australian opener in history has surpassed his rapid-fire strike rate in excess of 70 runs per 100 balls. Only one other has surpassed his aggregate of 45 centuries across all levels. Feisty, flamboyant, verbose and villainous, few have been as entertaining or as polarizing as the great David Warner. The Bull is the first full-scale biography of one of Australian cricket's champions of the generation. It features the yarns, the stats and all the fun of cricket's greatest entertainer. Includes a David Warner's Who's Who with all the stats and records of his games, a detailed timeline of his career and things you may not have known about Warner including his suspensions, back-to-back rebounds during the Ashes contest with 500-plus runs in South Africa that led to an Australian victory, the 2022-23 season in India that led to former team member Mitchell Johnson calling for him to be dropped, and so much more.

Fighting the culture wars has never been so enjoyable.

" There is no climate emergency," says CLINTEL, the independent foundation representing over 1,100 scientists from all over the world. Revealing the IPCC's dishonest launch 33 years ago, Climate Alarm Reality Check shows how the political agenda behind the scenario of AWG (anthropological global warming) corrupted any scientific quest that was imagined. Masquerading as ' the science', public dissemination of false statements about extreme weather events and a fiery end to the planet have brought children to tears - needlessly. The author asks: Why were the exaggerated and alarmist claims of the IPCC and misguided activists not scrutinized by either mainstream media or policy makers? A number of unfilled predictions of doom resemble medieval fears of revenge of the gods.

The name Buddy is synonymous with Lance Franklin. Every Australian rules footy fanatic knows the name Buddy with the names reverence in Australia akin to Pele in Brazil or Magic Johnson in the States. A reclusive celebrity who loves nothing more than staying far away from the limelight, Buddys brightness shines on the field. Since he passed the magical 100-goal mark in 2008, only two forwards have been able to kick 80 goals or more in the home and away season and the fact that hes also kicked 84 behinds. In modern Australian Rules Footy, with a full team defence, zoning, and intercept defenders, the one hundred threshold has become practically impossible. Will Buddy be the Last Centurion? One may also ask, is Buddy the greatest forward the game has ever seen?

68 days, 12 hours, 49 minutes. In 2018 Michelle Lee became the first Australian woman to row solo across the Atlantic Ocean. It took two years of preparation for the 68-day, 5,000km journey--Solo details this extraordinary adventure from her perspective. Crossing the Atlantic Ocean is never an easy undertaking, but people have been making the journey for hundreds of years. The very first crossings were made to discover and explore new lands. Today, most crossings are made by huge cargo ships exporting essential commodities across the ocean. But some daring people choose to cross the Atlantic to test the limit of their physical and mental strength--to achieve something unthinkable. Each year in December, waiting for an end to the hurricane season, rowers depart from La Gomera, Spain and arrive in Antigua, in the Caribbean. No motor, no sails--a journey powered only by rowing. It was from this port that Michelle sailed into the history books, achieving what few have before her and marking the start of a new chapter in her life encouraging others to live without regret and not die wondering.

The story of five young Australian sailors seeking adventure in a far off war who fell foul of British Imperial authority and sparked one of the most controversial events in the annals of the RAN. Mutineers explores the use and abuse of power by our military and political leaders at a critical time in our nation's history and reveals how leaders missed an opportunity to take control of our national destiny. Five young sailors, including a decorated war hero, were ringleaders of the most controversial mutiny in the annals of the Royal Australian Navy in Fremantle Harbour on 1 June 1919. Severe gaol sentences handed out by a naval court martial sparked a political furore several months before a Federal election. The two most senior naval officers in the RAN threatened to resign when the Hughes Government pressured the Admiralty in London to allow the sailors to be released early in time for Christmas. Three of the sailors went on to serve again in World War Two in the Middle East, Malaya and New Guinea. One became a prisoner of war of the Japanese in Changi and another served with the US Small Boat Service.All but one lived long and happy lives.

The Forgotten explores an often-overlooked part of Australia's rich and diverse history - the service and sacrifice of the Chinese Labour Corps who worked under the British and French on the Western Front during the First World War. It puts the story of the Chinese Labour Corps into the broader history of China's encounters with western European nations since the 1700s. A part of that story includes the large numbers of Chinese people who immigrated to Australia during this period. It was the sons, grandsons, and great-grandsons of these Chinese settlers who volunteered to fight for Australia during the First World War. Those men are the Chinese Anzacs. The Forgotten celebrates the shared history between China and Australia and the combined efforts to promote peace.

A dark secret lurked aboard HMAS Australia, the flagship of the Royal Australian Navy. In 1942, with a Japanese invasion looming, those aboard the ship were shocked and completely unprepared to deal with the brutal murder of a young sailor by two shipmates who were allegedly part of a homosexual group on the flagship. A swift military investigation and court martial were conducted. The officers faced a difficult, almost impossible task. How were they to prove the guilt of sailors accused of murdering a shipmate without exposing the motive for the crime, which would unleash embarrassing propaganda onto the world for the enemy to exploit? This would prove to be one of the most controversial events in the history of the Royal Australian Navy and trigger unprecedented legal and political events. But the real victim in this tragic story was the young sailor who was stabbed to death on the deck of Australia. He was a faceless victim, lost to the pages of history after he was buried at sea.

Exposing the grave mistakes in Australia's not-so-trustworthy criminal justice system, film critic turned activist journalist Andrew L. Urban recounts how his life is changed when he is drawn into the field of wrongful convictions after reviewing a documentary about the case of Hobart grandmother, Sue Neill-Fraser, convicted of murder -- without evidence. As he probes further, he comes across other cases and finds police investigations marred by tunnel vision; lawyers flouting the rule of law chasing convictions; courts admitting inadmissible (and false) forensic evidence; the Crown withholding exculpatory evidence; and worst of all, prosecutors making up murder scenarios. Driven by disturbing discoveries over five years of research and writing -- covering five extraordinary cases: Sue Neill-Fraser, Gordon Wood, Henry Keogh, David Szach, and Gary Nye -- Andrew interviews specialist legal academic Dr Bob Moles and others as he charts the damning list of errors. Bringing together his writings and interviews on the subject as well as his correspondence with legal academics and politicians, including Attorneys General, Andrew lists action points that if implemented would help reduce the incidence of wrongful convictions.
