Book Description
Traitor or saviour? Tony Windsor has been called both in his 22-year political career, but never more often than when he supported Julia Gillard's government in 2010. And now he's back. After three years in retirement, Tony Windsor refuses to stand by and watch regional Australia relegated to being taken for granted. In the forthcoming election he will go head to head with the leader of the National Party, Barnaby Joyce in the seat of New England. Windsor's Way reveals Tony's courageous political path—as a young branch member he moved a no-confidence motion against the National Party leader. He conducted a rigorous 17-day assessment period of Tony Abbott and Julia Gillard's promises following the indecisive 2010 election and then seized the opportunities of the subsequent hung parliament. By staying true to his values and beliefs in difficult and challenging times, Tony Windsor has become an emblem of integrity and decency in Australian politics.

Book Description
From Indian vultures to Chinese bees, Nature provides the 'natural services' that keep the economy going. From the recycling miracles in the soil; an army of predators ridding us of unwanted pests; an abundance of life creating a genetic codebook that underpins our food, pharmaceutical industries and much more, it has been estimated that these and other services are each year worth about double global GDP. Yet we take most of Nature's services for granted, imagining them free and limitless ... until they suddenly switch off. This is a book full of immediate, impactful stories, containing both warnings (such as in the tale of India's vultures, killed off by drugs given to cattle, leading to an epidemic of rabies) but also the positive (how birds protect fruit harvests, coral reefs protect coasts from storms and how the rainforests absorb billions of tonnes of carbon released from cars and power stations). Tony Juniper's book will change whole way you think about life, the planet and the economy

Book Description
"You see, with Dad there was very little warning, if any at all. As I have said countless times before, while Dad was serving in Korea, he must have also trained as a Ninja warrior. He could take his belt off, whoop us and have his belt back on and buckled before we had a chance to cry. Just scant seconds before Dad pounced on me like a bobcat on a mule carcass; I threw up the white flag. At that moment I would have been willing to get up from the table and walk the seven miles to the barber. Without striking a single blow Dad made his point and got his desired results. Now, that is talent." A compilation of witty short stories written by Tony Windsor as they appear in his weekly newspaper column. Tony's son, Aaron Windsor, decided to pull together over 90 of his father's columns and develop this book. In what might be considered "Wonder Years" meets "The Waltons," Tony has chronicled moments in his life that everyone can identify with and feel an intricate part of. More than a "walk down memory lane," this book will transport people of any age back to a time in their own lives that will be sure to result in a smile, giggle, or out and out laughter. Each story stands on its own and provides short, but extremely detailed accounts of events that are sometimes hilarious, sometimes sobering, but always extraordinarily entertaining. Read it to yourself, read it out loud, just read it and enjoy!

Book Description
Reporting from the backrooms and corridors of Parliament House in Canberra to the streets of post-industrial Burnie in Tasmania, the struggling rural communities of Gippsland and the Queensland heartland, Royce Kurmelovs captures with perceptive, real-time analysis the rise of Australian populism. The people and places he profiles tell the story of those independent political figures who have tried to take power from the outside and those who feel abandoned by both the left and right of politics. Overshadowing it all is the controversial figure of Pauline Hanson, a woman who came back from oblivion to become a powerbroker just as the country breathlessly watched the election of Donald Trump and wondered whether the same could happen here. ROGUE NATION is essential reading for anyone who wants to know what is happening to politics in this country, and what the future might hold.

Book Description
Australia's oldest and favourite newspaper dissects the last decade of political turmoil and cultural frustrations that turned us all against each other, and how we broke down those walls of division to come together again. This is our country's coming of age story. How good. It's been a tough few years. We've had three prime ministers in four years, a scandalous ball-tampering scandal, our own #Metoo moments (Defamation laws apply*), the Murray-Darling fish kills and, worst of all, the cancellation of both the NRL and AFL footy shows. In this penetrating and incisive book, The Betoota Advocate's editors Clancy Overell and Errol Parker take us on the nation's journey through chaos and confusion, to the start of a new era. Finally, we as a nation have been gifted the rare opportunity to choose who leads our country for an entire federal term. Our cricketers now use talent and skill to win matches. The culture wars are over, and common sense prevails. With a sensible Liberal government, a charismatic PM and a united, strong and experienced cabinet of some of our nation's greatest minds in place, we are well on the road to economic stability and environmental renewal. Join Australia's most trusted newspaper from the remote but vibrant town of Betoota, as we detail the last four years in news - how bad things got, and how lucky we, as a nation, have been to survive it all.

Book Description
Once the country believed itself to be the true face of Australia: sunburnt men and capable women raising crops and children, enduring isolation and a fickle environment, carrying the nation on their sturdy backs. For almost 200 years after white settlement began, city Australia needed the country: to feed it, to earn its export income, to fill the empty land, to provide it with distinctive images of the nation being built in the great south land. But Australia no longer rides on the sheep's back, and since the 1980s, when ''economic rationalism'' became the new creed, the country has felt abandoned, its contribution to the nation dismissed, its historic purpose forgotten. In Fair Share, Judith Brett argues that our federation was built on the idea of a big country and a fair share, no matter where one lived. We also looked to the bush for our legends and we still look to it for our food. These are not things we can just abandon. In late 2010, with the country independents deciding who would form federal government, it seemed that rural and regional Australia's time had come again. But, as Murray - Darling water reform shows, the politics of dependence are complicated. The question remains: what will be the fate of the country in an era of user - pays, water cutbacks, climate change, droughts and flooding rains? What are the prospects for a new compact between country and city in Australia in the twenty - first century? ''Once the problems of the country were problems for the country as a whole. But then government stepped back … The problems of the country were seen as unfortunate for those affected but not likely to have much impact on the rest of Australia. The agents of neoliberalism cut the country loose from the city and left it to fend for itself.'' - Judith Brett, Fair Share.

Book Description
Ethical business creates social value. That’s the theme of this bold new volume, heralding and defending this rapidly-growing new conception of capitalism making its way into the mainstream. It provides clear and succinct guidelines for how to evaluate what counts as an ethical business as well as how and why ethical businesses tend to succeed better over the long term. The book is jargon-free and targeted primarily at thought leaders and academics in business and philosophy who will want to use it in their business ethics classes. Each chapter has been selected for its ability to engage a wide audience without oversimplifying the content. All twelve chapters are original and authored by leading business ethicists including William Shaw, Tony Simons, Duane Windsor, and Mark Schwartz. Each piece makes use of recent empirical evidence or ethical theory (or both) in order to present a detailed yet overarching picture of what ethical business looks like--and how to achieve it--in today’s global environment. It is thus divided into three subsections: 1. The Role of Corporate Culture 2. A New For-Profit Paradigm 3. Making the Change Happen: Voluntary and Regulatory Examples Perhaps the book’s greatest strength is its blending of cutting-edge philosophy, psychology, and management theory into a cohesive, provocative, and accessible format. Hence, it promises to launch a wide discussion of what exactly we should expect the moral duty of business to be.

Book Description
In September 1995, Brenda Kaye Robinson was a single mother living an ordinary life in rural Sussex County, Delaware. Then one night she awoke to a nightmare of unspeakable horror. The savagery that took place inside her home as her 11-year-old son lay sleeping in a nearby room, changed her life forever. "When Death Comes Knocking" chronicles Robinson's journey of faith as she struggles to deal with both the physical and emotional trauma of the vicious attack, and a decade-long search for justice. The twists and turns this case takes are a testament to the significance of forensic science. "When Death Comes Knocking" is a glimpse into the sadistic, mind-numbing and unpredictable side of justice. Kaye Robinson's story has been featured on "Forensic Files (tm)" in an episode titled "Smiley Face." In his Forward for this book, Forensic Files (tm) creator and producer, Paul Dowling, says, "Our episode about Brenda Kaye Robinson's case is one of the best we've ever produced. Why? Because her story challenges many of our long held beliefs about crime scene investigations and our criminal justice system."
