A Future in Flames
Danielle Clode
This well-informed and deeply person-
al account analyzes bushfires from
various angles and examines the possi-
bility of limiting their disastrous
effects. With fires being a constant and
ongoing part of Australian history,
ecology, and culture, this study shows
that, despite repeated disasters
throughout the last two centuries, sur-
viving bushfires today has become no
easier than during the first European settlements. With rigorous
factual research, this record outlines Australia’s significant fires
and discusses the aftermath of each.

New Stories from the Mabinogion series

Drawing from two medieval Welsh manuscripts with roots dating back many centuries earlier, this series of 11 stories sheds light
on Celtic mythology and Arthurian romance while providing a new perspective on Great Britain itself. From enchantment and
shapeshifting to the age-old dichotomies of conflict versus peacemaking and love versus betrayal, all of these tales are uniquely
reinvented, creating fresh, contemporary narratives that portray the real world as much as they depict the past.

Where Seagulls Fly

Edwin Page
Set in western Cornwall, this historic
novel is the evocative story of a social
outcast seeking refuge with the
monks of St. Michael’s Mount.
Arriving in the year 1274, the out-
sider hopes to escape the cruel life he
has known by forming a close friend-
ship with one of the monks. But the
outsider’s horrifying presence causes
fear among the other monks in the
monastery. He holds many secrets that whisper tentatively from
the folds of his cloak, but what exactly is he hiding? Steeped in
historical detail, this novel adds fantasy elements, rendering it a
compelling read.
Edwin Page is a novelist, a photographer, a filmmaker, and the
author of Gothic Fantasy: The Films of Tim Burton, Horribly
Awkward: The New Funny Bone, and Quintessential Tarantino.

including constructed, intimate, and natural ones, in addition to
the flora and fauna of the region, some of which has taken on
iconic significance. This collection gives true insight into both the
Caribbean landscape and its corresponding mindscape.

What Were
They Thinking
150 Years of Political
Thinking in Australia
James Walter
Challenging conventional ways of
thinking about politics, this ambitious
history of 20th-century Australian
political thought explains how several
of the most well-established Australian
political ideas, such as franchise and
the welfare state, came to be. By examining the impact of these
ideas and the ways they have inspired individuals and move-
ments from before the first prime minister, Edmund Barton, all
the way to current incumbent Kevin Rudd, this robust study
makes what often seems arcane or abstract come to life.
James Walter is professor of political science at Monash University.

Water & Its

Spiritual Significance
Edited by Virginia Gray Henry-
Blakemore and Elena Lloyd-Sidle
Exploring man’s ecological, spiritual,
and symbolic relationship with water,
this volume is a useful tool for reli-
gious practitioners of all faiths to
understand more deeply the connec-
tion between their religious life and the
earth. Based on the idea that water is
the original, primordial mirror, the examination details how a
community’s values are now reflected in its water, asking ques-
tions such as What are our polluted rivers and streams saying
about us? With input from many traditions, the collection fea-
tures Thomas Merton, Henry David Thoreau, and others.
Virginia Gray Henry-Blakemore is the director of the interfaith

author journeys back to this former
Soviet enclave looking for a link to his
grandfather—something greater than
their shared receding hairline and sense
of humor. What he finds on this wild road trip is a place where pre-
mium vodka is cheaper than water, spa treatments are more than a
little invasive, and that Stalin theme parks are just the beginning of
the odd charms of this beguiling nation. Through it all, David
Smiedt takes all that is irreverent about modern-day Molvania and
delivers a charming narrative on his ancestral homeland.

Who Cracked the Mafia
Colin McLaren
A compelling narrative written by a for-
mer undercover police operative, this
memoir offers personal insight into the
inner workings of the Mafia and some
of the most notorious crimes in
Australian history. Posing as a dodgy art
dealer, Colin McLaren eventually
maneuvered his way into Godfather Antonio Romeo’s band of
mafiosi and immersed himself within their world. This account of
that period details the listening devices, wire taps, drug deals, and
the delicate balance between staying sane and staying alive.
Chronicling two of the bloodiest decades in organized crime, the
record is a fascinating view of the blurring identities, conflicting
loyalties, and family strain that is all part of undercover work.
Colin McLaren is a former taskforce detective.
