This happens again and again when reading Emma. Description Emma takes on issues that weigh disproportionately on women - that invisible labour and unpaid organising we do for others - and gives them a comic, feminist twist. Most of us carry some form of mental load - about our work, household responsibilities, financial obligations and personal life - but what makes up that burden and how it's distributed within households and understood in offices isn't usually equal or fair. From maternity leave (it's not a holiday!) to the male gaze and the medical establishment's treatment of women during childbirth, Emma skewers our modern lives in a way that is both hilarious and deadly serious. If you're not laughing, you're probably crying in recognition. Her comics also address the everyday outrages and absurdities of immigrant rights, income inequality and police violence. About the Author Emma is a 36-year-old computer technician who lives in Paris but who says she learns 'all over the place'.

Each of the featured landscapes - from every state and territory, from outback to city - is situated on the edge of a natural frontier: rainforest, desert, bushland, river, mountain range, volcanic crater lake, coast, harbour, saltbush plains. In another sense, Australian gardens and their owners are always 'on the edge' in dealing with the endless vagaries of nature, from drought to dust, fires to flood. In telling the stories of the gardens and their owners, Christine Reid reveals the diversity and character of the Australian continent - and celebrates the imagination and resilience of those who have met the challenges of creating, reconstructing or restoring their 'vision splendid' in an ancient and often-unforgiving land. About the Author As a garden writer with a wide-ranging background in newspapers and magazines, Christine Reid's principal interest is the social and cultural history of gardens and designed landscapes, historic and contemporary. Her extensive writings on gardens appear in major lifestyle magazines both in Australia and the UK; she has been the Australian contributor to the English publication Gardens Illustrated since 1998. Christine has also been writer and consulting editor for many international garden books including The Oxford Companion to the Garden (Oxford University Press, 2006) and The Gardeners' Garden (Phaidon, 2014).

J. O'Rourke P. J. O'Rourke channels his extensive experience of making fun of terrible things in despicable places and applies it to somewhere even worse - Wall Street. Sales points • Very timely for Australia, given the intense focus and public attention being given to the Banking Commission • P.J.'s look at the 2016 US presidential election, How the Hell Did This Happen?, brought him his highest sales in years, launching him to a new generation of readers in the process • His books have sold over 2 million copies worldwide Description After decades covering war and disaster, bestselling author and acclaimed satirist P. J. O'Rourke takes on his scariest subjects yet - business, investment, finance and the political chicanery behind them. Want to get rich overnight for free in 3 easy steps with no risk? Then don't buy this book. (Actually, if you believe there's a book that can do that, you shouldn't buy any books because you probably can't read.) P.J.'s approach to business, investment, and finance is different. He takes the risks for you in his chapter 'How I Learned Economics by Watching People Try to Kill Each Other.' He proposes 'A Way to Raise Taxes That We'll All Love' - a 200% tax on celebrities. He offers a brief history of economic transitions before exploring the world of high tech innovation with a chapter on 'Unnovations', which asks, 'The Internet-whose idea was it to put all the idiots on earth in touch with each other?' He misunderstands bitcoin, which seems 'like a weird scam invented by strange geeks with weaponized slide rules in the high school Evil Math Club.' He closes with a fanciful short story about the morning that P.J. wakes up and finds that all the world's goods and services are free! Price: AU $29.99 NZ $32.99 This is P.J. at his finest, a book not to be missed. ISBN: 9781611854961 Format: Paperback - C format About the Author Dimensions: 234x156mm Extent: 240 pages P. J. O'Rourke has written eighteen books on subjects as diverse as politics and cars and etiquette and economics.

    Press release – 29 July 2021 Pernod Ricard launches its innovative new Responsible Party campaign: “Drink More…Water” Pernod Ricard is today launching an innovative new international digital campaign through its Responsible Party initiative, aimed at tackling the issue of binge drinking. Its message is simple and universal: “Drink More… Water” As our social lives gradually return to normal after 18 months of minimal human contact due to the pandemic, the Responsible Party program, which has been engaged in the prevention of alcohol misuse by young adults since 2009, remains fully committed to combatting binge drinking. The reopening of bars, clubs and restaurants after so long could lead to excessive drinking and harmful use of alcohol amongst young people. That is why Responsible Party decided to intensify its efforts, launching a bold digital campaign designed by award-winning digital agency Buzzman. The “Drink More… Water” campaign is based on the Responsible Party Program’s main drivers: to persuade young adults that there is no fun in excessive drinking and to empower them to make the right choices for themselves, thanks to a peer-to-peer approach. Water has always been one of the core elements of the program as it is one of the ways of reducing harmful drinking. The campaign aims to connect with the genZ audience by adopting their own mindset and a simple, impactful and universal message – asking them to “Drink More Water”. By not shying away from showing the unpleasant, embarrassing and harmful consequences of alcohol abuse, the campaign features snapshots of what can happen when people binge drink while encouraging them to “Drink More”, which appears contradictory.
