        The Believer

        Encounters with Love, Death & Faith

        by Sarah Krasnostein

        This extraordinary new book by the bestselling and multi-award-winning author Sarah Krasnostein explores the power of belief.   What do we believe? Who do we believe? Why do we believe them?   Sarah Krasnostein has been spending time with interview subjects around the world. Some of them believe in things most people don’t. Ghosts. UFOs. The literal creation of the universe in six days by an all-powerful God.   Some of them believe in things most people would like to. Living with integrity and compassion. Dying with dignity and autonomy. Facing up to our transgressions with a truthful heart.   In this intensely personal and gorgeously written new book Krasnostein, the acclaimed author of The Trauma Cleaner, talks to these believers with compassion and empathy—and finds out what happens when their beliefs crash into her own.

        A Letter to Layla

        Travels to Our Deep Past and Near Future

        by Ramona Koval

        How might the origins of our species inform the way we think about our planet? At a point of unparalleled crisis, can human ingenuity save us from ourselves?   Much-loved writer Ramona Koval travels the globe in a quest for answers, and encounters the unexpected. She talks to an eminent paleo-archaeologist about a two-million-year-old skull in the Republic of Georgia, meets the next generation of robots in Berlin, attends a festival against death in California and explores an ice-age cave in southern France, speaking with the world’s leading authority on cave art.   Between these and other adventures she returns to her ever-engaging granddaughter Layla, whose development in infancy spurs Koval to find out what makes us human, what separates us from the other apes. Full of revealing exchanges with scientists and writers whose knowledge of the past and visions for the future could hold the key to our next evolution, A Letter to Layla will surprise and delight in equal measure.

        Two Afternoons in Kabul Stadium

        A History through Clothes, Carpets and the Camera

        by Tim Bonyhady

        Two Afternoons in Kabul Stadium is an exciting history of life in the second half of the twentieth century in Afghanistan. This book offers not just a new way of seeing Afghanistan but also a new way of understanding it.   For its first thirty-five years, Kabul stadium was closed to Afghan women. That changed one afternoon in August 1959 when women from the country’s ruling elite appeared unveiled in western dress at a celebration of Afghanistan’s independence, having discarded their customary chadaris. This dramatic change in where and how women were seen was recognised almost immediately as a turning point, not only for women in Afghanistan’s cities but for the country itself, symbolising its embrace of the modern. But the Kabul stadium is now remembered very differently, as the Taliban’s prime place of public execution.   Bonyhady explores life in modern Afghanistan using dress, traditional crafts and images as a lens through which to examine this extraordinary country and the extraordinary changes it has undergone in the last six decades.

        The Climate Cure

        Solving the Climate Emergency in the Era of COVID-19

        by Tim Flannery

        In the summer of 2019–20, Australia burst into flames. More than five million hectares were ravaged by megafires so vast that they created their own weather. Major cities choked on smoke whose particles then circled the globe. As many as a billion animals perished, and thousands of properties were destroyed.   Emergencies test governments, organisations and individuals. Although Australia’s prompt, scienceled response to COVID-19 has not been perfect, it has saved tens of thousands of lives. But for decades, governments have ignored, ridiculed or understated the advice of scientists on the climate emergency.   Now, in the wake of the megafires, a time of reckoning has arrived. In The Climate Cure renowned climate scientist Tim Flannery takes aim at those responsible for the campaign of obfuscation and denial that has already cost so many Australian lives and held back action on climate change.   Flannery demands a new approach, based on the nation’s consultative response to COVID-19, that will lead to effective government policies. The Climate Cure is an action plan for our future. We face a fork in the road, and must decide now between catastrophe and survival.

        Show Me Where it Hurts

        Living with Invisible Illness

        by Kylie Maslen

        Kylie Maslen has been living with invisible illness for twenty years—more than half her life. Its impact is felt in every aspect of her day-to-day existence: from work to dating; from her fears for what the future holds to her difficulty getting out of bed some mornings.   Through pop music, art, literature, TV, film and online culture, Maslen explores the lived experience of invisible illness with sensitivity and wit, revealing a reality that many struggle—or refuse—to recognise. Show Me Where it Hurts speaks to those who have encountered the brush-off from doctors, faced endless tests and treatments, and endured chronic pain and suffering. But it is also a bridge reaching out to partners, families, friends, colleagues, doctors: all those who want to better understand what life looks like when you cannot simply show others where it hurts.
