First Victory by Mike Carlton

Posted on December 9th, 2013 by in War

First Victory by Mike Carlton is about HMAS Sydney and hunt for the German raider Emden whose trail of destruction in the first months of the war was a disaster

Mike Carlton has had a life-long passion for naval history.

This one small ship and her skilled and gallant captain wrought havoc on the maritime trade of the British Empire, capturing and sinking ships at will and he wanted to tell the story from an Australian perspective.

Australia, sending wool, wheat and gold across the Indian Ocean to sustain the Mother Country and dispatching tens of thousands of young men to join the fight, had a vital interest in bringing Emden to her end. The battle, when it came, was short and bloody, an emphatic First Victoryat sea for the newborn Royal Australian Navy. It remains to this day a celebrated epic of naval warfare.In the century since, many writers have been there before Mike Carlton. Most were German, some of them survivors of the battle, others later historians, and they have generally told the story well.
British accounts vary in quality, from good to nonsense, and there have been some patchwork American attempts as well. Curiously, there was very little written from an Australian point of view before Mike Carlton’s book.
So it is – in part – an attempt to remedy that, with new facts and perspectives brought into the light of day.
An excerpt

“On the morning of October 4, 1913, Sydney Harbour was lined with thousands of Australians eager to catch their first glimpse of the Royal Australian Navy. As the battlecruiser HMAS Australia, cruisers Melbourne, Sydney and Encounter, and destroyers Warrego, Parramatta and Yarra sailed into the Harbour for the first time, it marked a key moment in Australian defence history. The Royal Australian Navy, long years in the making, had arrived to make its mark.

Less than a year later the First World War broke out, and thousands of men were sent away to fight for their country. The RAN was ready to defend Australia’s long coastline and overseas trade from a powerful German enemy. The Kaiser’s cruiser SMS Emden,a lone raider already at sea on the outbreak of war, was poised to strike. For four months she captured and sank Allied ships, crippling trade and earning a reputation as the most hunted ship on the seas.

On November 9, 1914, the cruiser HMAS Sydney came across the Emden in the Indian Ocean. In a short, bloody battle, she pounded the German ship to pieces. It was a triumphant first victory for the Australian Royal Navy, celebrated to this day’

Sir Henry Parkes: The Australian Colossus by Stephen Dando-Collins

Posted on December 9th, 2013 by in Australia, Biography, Celebrity, Cultural Studies, Culture, History, Non-Fiction, Politics, Reference

Sir Henry Parkes: The Australian Colossus by Stephen Dando-Collins is about the Father of Federation Premier of NSW a Visionary Political Leader Poet & Humanist

May 27, 2015 brings the 200th anniversary of the birth of Sir Henry Parkes an Australian giant and all around good fellow.
After he died, the London Times described him as ‘a colonial colossus.’Henry Parkes received little schooling and worked on a rope-walk, breaking stones, as an ivory and bone turner, ironmonger, labourer and on the wharves before trying business life and ultimately politics. He and his first wife travelled to Australia on an assisted passage. Parkes steadily educated himself, reading voraciously and widely, including all the great poets.There has never been anyone else like Sir Henry Parkes in Australian public life. Not only was he the father of federation. His friends included Thomas Carlyle, fellow poet Lord Tennyson and British Prime Minister Gladstone. He convinced Florence Nightingale to send trained nurses to Australia.He conceived the international rabbit competition which led to the Pasteur affair and put Australia at the forefront of microbiology. He encouraged talented men to enter politics. Yet he shunned the limelight, rarely attending social functions.

Whenever he received begging letters, (which he did, daily), Parkes always wrote back enclosing money. No wonder he went bankrupt three times! Yet he was Premier of NSW 5 times, leaving its finances well in the black every time. He married three times, the last time to a 23-year-old beauty.

Clearly, Parkes loved women, and they loved him. He encouraged women to attend political meetings, even though they didn’t have the vote. NSW Parliament House dining room was managed by a husband and wife; when the husband died, Parliament wanted to fire his widow, but Parkes stood up for her, saying she was perfectly capable of managing the dining room on her own, which she did for years to come.
But not everyone loved Sir Henry; he had a long-running feud with poet Henry Lawson’s mother after Parkes wouldn’t give young Lawson the help she demanded. He constantly wrestled with political aspirants chasing his seat.
About the Author
Stephen Dando-Collins is the author of the acclaimed Captain Bligh’s Other Mutiny. Pasteur’s Gambit was shortlisted for the science prize in the Victorian Premier’s Literary Awards and won the Queensland Premier’s Science Award. Crack Hardy, his most personal history, received wide acclaim. Mistaken Identity tells another episode of previously undiscovered Australian history. Sir Henry Parkes: The Australian Colossus is a biography of Australia’s Father of Federation. He also writes about American and ancient Greek history, and his series about the legions of ancient Rome has found considerable success in the US, UK and Australia and been translated into numerous foreign languages. Stephen has also written several books for children including the Caesar the War Dog series and Chance in a Million. Stephen and his wife, Louise, live and write in a former nunnery in Tasmania’s Tamar Valley. – See more at: http://www.randomhouse.com.au/books/stephen-dando-collins/sir-henry-parkes-the-australian-colossus-9781742757971.aspx#sthash.VHiNOQeK.dpuf

The Forgotten Rebels of Eureka by Clare Wright

Posted on December 9th, 2013 by in Adventure, Australia, Cultural Studies, History, Literature, Reference, Society, Young Adults

The Forgotten Rebels of Eureka by Clare Wright is the uncut story of the day the Australian people found their voice.

The story is one of Australia’s foundation legends, but until now it has been told as though only half the participants were there.

What if the hot-tempered, free-wheeling gold miners we learnt about in school were actually husbands and fathers, brothers and sons? And what if there were women and children inside the Eureka Stockade, defending their rights while defending themselves against a barrage of bullets? As Clare Wright reveals, there were thousands of women on the goldfields and many of them were active in pivotal roles.

The stories of how they arrived there, why they came and how they sustained themselves make for fascinating reading in their own right.

But it is in the rebellion itself that the unbiddable women of Ballarat come into their own.

Groundbreaking, absorbing, crucially important, this is a novel perfect for everyone’s Christmas Giving Hit List.

Dreaming Too Loud: Reflections on a Race Apart by Geoffrey Robertson

Posted on December 7th, 2013 by in Australia, Cultural Studies, Culture, Humour, Inspirational, Motivational

Dreaming Too Loud: Reflections on a Race Apart by Geoffrey Robertson is delivered with the author’s renowned trademark intelligence, humour and humanity.

“Here is a broad and liberal mind at work on some of the big questions of our time: a powerhouse display of insight and good humour’ says Mike Carlton.

Robertson’s expatriate (but not ex-patriot) vision picks the real winners and losers in the Australian race.

Geoffrey Robertson has been described as ‘the greatest living Australian’. The  satirical magazine Private Eye calls him ‘an Australian who has had a vowel transplant’. Just before he was to cross-examine Princess Diana, the London Timescomplained that he was ‘anti-establishment, republican and Australian’ – in ascending order of horror.Internationally recognised as one of the world’s leading human rights lawyers and as an intellectual inspiration for the global justice movement, he regularly boomerangs back from leading Europe’s largest civil liberties practice to the land of his birth and his youth.
Just as his Hypotheticals dazzled television audiences, so the speeches and essays collected in this book provoke, disturb and entertain.

Here you will find new heroes in our history, such as the schoolteacher who stopped Ned Kelly’s planned terrorist atrocity at Glenrowan, and the squadron leader who led ‘the few’ – the airmen who held the Japanese at bay after the fall of Singapore.

There are insights into Australian education, the story of wrongly jailed Aboriginal mother Nancy Young, encounters with Vaclav Havel, Rupert Murdoch, Michael Kirby, John Mortimer and Julian Assange, the transcript of a previously banned Hypothetical, reflections on worldwide problems such as torture, terrorism and the Catholic church, and much else besides.

About the Author
Geoffrey Robertson QC is a leading human rights lawyer and a UN war-crimes judge. He has been counsel in many notable Old Bailey trials, has defended hundreds of men facing death sentences in the Caribbean, and has won landmark rulings on civil liberty from the highest courts in Britain, Europe and the Commonwealth. He was involved in cases against General Pinochet and Hastings Banda, and in the training of judges who tried Saddam Hussein. His book Crimes against Humanity has been an inspiration for the global justice movement, and he is the author of an acclaimed memoir, The Justice Game, and the textbook Media Law. He is married to Kathy Lette. Mr Robertson is Head of Doughty Street Chambers, a Master of the Middle Temple, a Recorder and visiting professor at Queen Mary College, University of London.

On the Noodle Road by Jen Lin-Liu

Posted on December 3rd, 2013 by in Celebrity, Cooking, Culture, Food

On the Noodle Road by Jen Lin-Liu is an appetite-whetting journalistic encounter with the delights and pleasures of the table via the humble noodle

Feasting her way through an Italian honeymoon, Jen Lin-Liu was struck by culinary echoes of the delicacies she ate and cooked back in China, where she’d lived for more than a decade.

Who really invented the noodle? she wondered, like many before her.

With her new husband’s blessing, she set out along the ancient trading route of the Silk Road to discover the connections, both historical and personal, eating a path through western China and on into Central Asia, Iran, Turkey, and across the Mediterranean.

Her fascinating journey takes Lin-Liu into the private kitchens where the head scarves come off and women not only knead and simmer but also confess and confide.

The thin rounds of dough stuffed with meat that are dumplings in Beijing evolve into manti in Turkey – their tiny size the measure of a bride’s worth – and end as tortellini in Italy.

And as she stirs and tastes, listening to the women talk about their lives and longings, Lin-Liu gains a new appreciation of her own marriage, learning to savour the sweetness of love freely chosen.

‘Some writers follow the money; Jen Lin-Liu follows the noodle.’ – Barbara Demick, author of Nothing to Envy: Ordinary Lives in North Korea

About the Author

JEN LIN-LIU was born in California but has lived in China for more than half of her adult life. The founder of Black Sesame Kitchen, a Beijing cooking school, she is the author of a previous book, Serve the People: A Stir-Fried Journey through China. She has written about food, culture, and travel for The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Saveur, Newsweek, Travel + Leisure, and others.

The Spinning Heart by Donal Ryan

Posted on December 2nd, 2013 by in Fiction

The Spinning Heart by Donal Ryan is a stunning debut novel that has won major acclaim, the Irish Book Awards 2012 and, longlisted for the Man Booker Prize 2013

My father still lives back the road past the weir in the cottage I was reared in. I go there every day to see is he dead and every day he lets me down. He hasn’t yet missed a day of letting me down.” In the aftermath of Ireland’s financial collapse, dangerous tensions surface in an Irish town. As violence flares, the characters face a battle between public persona and inner desires. Through a chorus of unique voices, each struggling to tell their own kind of truth, a single authentic tale unfolds.

The Spinning Heart speaks for contemporary Ireland like no other novel. Wry, vulnerable, all-too human, it captures the language and spirit of rural Ireland and with uncanny perception articulates the words and thoughts of a generation. Technically daring and evocative of Patrick McCabe and J.M. Synge, this novel of small-town life is witty, dark and sweetly poignant.

Donal Ryan’s brilliantly realized debut announces a stunning new voice in literary fiction.

Peas & Queues: The Minefield of Modern Manners by Sandi Toksvig

Posted on November 30th, 2013 by in Advice, Celebrity, Communication, Cultural Studies, Culture, Education, Fashion, Health & Wellbeing, Humour, Inspirational, Motivational, Reference, Society, Style, Young Adults

Peas & Queues: The Minefield of Modern Manners by Sandi Toksvig who delivers an entertaining and down-to-earth guide to what to do and why to do it in the confusing world of modern manners

How do you get rid of unwanted guests? What do you do if there’s a racket in the quiet carriage? How to behave, like how to punctuate, is an aspect of life that many are no longer taught ? and getting it wrong is the stuff of comedy at best and humiliation at worst. Thankfully, Sandi Toksvig has come to the rescue with her entertaining guide to modern manners,with tips on what to do whether you’re talking to a bore, or forgot their name in the first place. (Just call them ‘darling’.)

The award-winning Radio 4 broadcaster and writer offers guidance on the social pitfalls of every phase of life, from christenings to condolence letters – and has uncovered fascinating details about how our manners have changed across time, from the earliest etiquettes (little cards to remind courtiers how to behave) to the changing nature of spoons. With characteristic wit and perceptiveness, and revealing the trickiest of her encounters along the way, she highlights decency rather than convention and provides an essential guide to twenty-first century behaviour.

About the Author

Sandi Toksvig is a well known broadcaster for both television and radio. She has written more than twenty books including fiction and non-fiction for both adults and children, is a regular columnist for Good Housekeeping magazine and in September 2012 her latest play ‘Bully Boy’ was the opening production for London’s first new theatre in thirty years, the St James. Sandi is the new Chancellor of Portsmouth University.

Sins of the Flesh by Colleen McCullough

Posted on November 25th, 2013 by in Adventure, Crime, Fiction

Sins of the Flesh by Colleen McCullough is her finest mystery yet, her hero involved in plot that turns on the sort of science McCullough herself knows so well

It’s August 1969 in the sleepy college town of Holloman, Connecticut, and police Captain Carmine Delmonico is away on vacation. Back at home, first one, then two anonymous male corpses turn up-emaciated and emasculated. After connecting the victims to four other bodies, Sergeant Delia Carstairs and Lieutenant Abe Goldberg realize that Holloman has a psychopathic killer on the loose. Luckily, Carmine decides to come back from vacation early.

Carmine’s team begins to circle a trio of eccentrics, who readily admit to knowing all the victims, but their stories keep changing. They share family ties, painful memories, and a dark past. One of them is a new friend of Carmine’s invaluable sergeant, Delia Carstairs, as is the respected head of the mental hospital, who has been doing groundbreaking work rehabilitating one very difficult patient who is now her trusted assistant. When another vicious murder rocks Holloman, Carmine faces the revelation that two killers are at large with completely different modus operandi even as he barely escapes being next in the body count. Suddenly the summer isn’t so sleepy anymore.

A riveting mystery series by an author of astounding range and skill, Colleen McCullough’s Carmine Delmonico books take you back to an age of classic police work, before DNA analysis and computers.
