May 10, melissa rated it liked it. This was an easy read, and an amusing way to pass a bit of time. This story had lots of little storylines running through it, as well as the main one. Nothing rankles me more than a story with a theme, but then it has no details to support it. Like it could be set anywhere, anytime. I think it is the thought that an author puts in that makes all the difference. They hunt and train songbirds. They interact with ghosts and witches. Even the camp is located in a magical place, where seasons can last hours or days. It is obvious the author took lots of time and care crafting this story. I would recommend this book to middle grade girls, especially those who like fantasy. Apr 08, Anne rated it it was ok Shelves: juvenile , CIP: none Summary: Alicia goes to summer camp for princesses where she encounters a ghost and must solve a year old mystery. Review: This fantasy novel will enchant those who dream of being able to wear tiaras all day and engage in activities such as embroidery and teaching songbirds to sing. The result was cognitive dissonance: a highly uncomfortable state from which human beings will do almost anything to escape. There were two principal means. One — the more painful — was to question everything you held to be true. This process took me years: in fact, it has not ended. It was, at first, highly disruptive to my peace of mind and sense of self. The other, as US Republicans did during the Bush presidency, is to create your own reality. If the world does not fit your worldview, you either shore up your worldview with selectivity and denial, or if you have power you try to bend the world to fit the shape it takes in your mind. Much of the effort of conservative columnists and editors, and of certain politicians and historians, appears to be devoted to these tasks. Last year the former Republican staffer Mike Lofgren wrote something very similar about the dominant classes of the US: "the rich elites of this country have far more in common with their counterparts in London, Paris, and Tokyo than with their fellow American citizens … the rich disconnect themselves from the civic life of the nation and from any concern about its well being except as a place to extract loot. Secession from the concerns and norms of the rest of society characterises any well established elite. Our own ruling caste, schooled separately, brought up to believe in justifying fairytales, lives in a world of its own, from which it can project power without understanding or even noticing the consequences. A removal from the life of the rest of the nation is no barrier to the desire to dominate it. In fact, it appears to be associated with a powerful sense of entitlement. So if you have wondered how the current government can blithely engage in the wholesale transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich, how its frontbench can rock with laughter as it truncates the livelihoods of the poorest people of this country, why it commits troops to ever more pointless post-colonial wars, here, I think, is part of the answer. Many of those who govern us do not in their hearts belong here. They are not contradictory but complementary. This distinction is perhaps best seen in their different genealogies of Jesus. Matthew begins his book with Jesus' family tree Matthew because a person's heritage was of primary importance to Jews. It is clear that Mattew's list of Jesus' forefathers is, in fact, His stepfather Joseph's line of descent, meaning that Matthew is most interested in establishing Jesus' legal status as "the Son of David, the Son of Abraham" verse 1. In other words, He has a valid, legal claim to the throne of Israel; He meets the qualifications. Luke has a very different list Luke It is evidently Mary's genealogy, and thus Jesus' natural genealogy. Jesus, then, has both a natural and a supernatural right to be mankind's Savior and Sovereign. The story of Jesus' birth we all know well. At some point soon thereafter, she conceives through a miracle from God. When she is found to be pregnant, her betrothed husband Joseph decides to divorce her quietly, but an angel informs him in a dream that what had happened was from God Matthew The Child is to be named Jesus, and He would "save His people from their sins" verse About the time that the Baby is due, Joseph and Mary travel down to Bethlehem to comply with a Roman census, and there Jesus was born, most likely in the early autumn Luke ; Matthew To shepherds in the fields, an angel in great glory announces "good tidings of great joy which will be to all people," and the shepherds, after seeing Him for themselves Luke , spread the good news far and wide verses In accordance with the law, Jesus is circumcised on the eighth day verse 21 and after forty days presented at the Temple along with an offering verses At that time, Simeon and Anna witness to His being the promised Redeemer verses Sometime after Jesus' birth, an unknown number of wise men from the East come and worship Him, presenting Him with rich gifts: gold, frankincense, and myrrh Matthew The 4 Georges: Born 2 Rule | Horrible Histories Wiki | Fandom

Abandonment as a kid coloured much of his life, and although Coral drifted back in later years and became close to him, it never eased the sting. Give him a topic and a point to argue, and he was hard to beat, a talent which he used to great effect as a lawyer. Knows a good story and how to promote it. There is also a thorough look at wife Lucy Hughes, who was equally well-connected--the daughter of highly- regarded QC Tom Hughes, and niece of world-famous art critic Robert Hughes. Between them, they know everybody and anybody. He said he intended a political career one day, so he wanted his investments to be clear and above-board so there would be no skeletons to haunt him. And it seems he's done that. But as usual, he managed the fallout well and finally tossed his hat into the political ring.

I would have given it four stars if not for a couple of factors, 1. In th A fair and even handed, but ultimately scathing portrait of MT. In the last chapter the author goes with a pro ALP narrative that is plainly wrong in the sense that Labor did not give MT a bipartisanship on the NEG but instead held out until MT was destroyed and then, and only then, cynically adopted it as their policy, the author lets them off the hook in favour of simplistic Abbott bashing. All in all, a worthwhile read however. Overall: recommended. May 16, Peter Moy rated it really liked it. I found this book a big read with every page packed with information that required time to analyse and absorb. It was not a quick read. But the time spent was worth while. The book is well researched, well written and provides a very complete profile of Australia's current prime minister. I feel I am now a much better informed Australian voter having read it. I would definitely recommend this book to any fellow Australian. Aug 10, Jason Orthman rated it really liked it. Interesting insight into the life of before acquiring the highest office in Australia. An extremely intelligent, driven and successful man. Amazing how quickly he accrued wealth in investment banking and business, compounding an already sizeable inheritance. Aug 03, Peter Fazackerley rated it it was amazing. But who is Malcolm Turnbull, and what does he stand for? He has had careers as a journalist, a lawyer and as a businessman before being elected to the Australian Parliament. The biography was not authorised by Malcolm Turnbull, which is both an advantage and a disadvantage. An advantage in that Mr Manning could report his impressions and conclusions independently, a disadvantage in that while the records tell what has happened, motivation can sometimes only be assumed. It is also clear that he defies any neat categorisation. Malcolm Turnbull has a long list of achievements. In , Malcolm Turnbull was elected to the Australian Parliament. In , he was elected leader of the Liberal Party and of the opposition coalition. Who would have thought, then, that less than six years later Malcolm Turnbull would be Prime Minister? I found this book interesting. It provides a lot of detail about Malcolm Turnbull, and a comprehensive chronology of his life so far. Together Malcolm Turnbull and his wife Lucy make a formidable team. Will all that energy and intelligence make Malcolm Turnbull an effective prime minister? I hope so. Note: My thanks to NetGalley and Melbourne University for an opportunity to read a copy of this biography. Jennifer Cameron-Smith Nov 26, A Reader's Heaven rated it really liked it Shelves: australian , biography , net-galley , non-fiction , politics. I received a free copy of this book from Net Galley in exchange for an honest review. Turnbull's relentless energy and quest for achievement have taken him from exclusive Point Piper to Oxford University; from beating the Thatc I received a free copy of this book from Net Galley in exchange for an honest review. Turnbull's relentless energy and quest for achievement have taken him from exclusive Point Piper to Oxford University; from beating the Thatcher government in the Spycatcher trial to losing the referendum on the republic; from defending the late Kerry Packer— codenamed Goanna—in the Costigan Royal Commission to defending his own role in the failure of HIH, Australia's biggest corporate collapse. He was involved in the unravelling of the Tourang bid for Fairfax, struck it rich as co-founder of OzEmail, and fought his own hotly contested battle for Wentworth. As Opposition leader he was duped by Godwin Grech's 'Utegate' fiasco; as the most tech-savvy communications minister he oversaw a nobbled NBN scheme. I am not always a big fan of political biographies. They can be a big yawn-fest I'm talking about you, My Life! The best part about this book, however is that this isn't really about the man's politics, it is about his life and how he came to be the politician he is. I have to say that while I have always thought Turnball to be a bit of a snooty, toffee-nosed elitist, it is when you read his background and understand where he has come from that you get an idea of the man he is. From his mother's leaving at an early age, to bullying at school, he went on to be a skilled debater and Rhodes Scholar at Oxford and then a political journalist. He had a very successful career as a lawyer - at times defending Peter Wright Spycatcher and Kerry Packer - and then an even more successful career in the banking trade. His political life is covered up until now. It hasn't been a long path so far, but I am sure we will see far more of Malcolm Turnball in the years to come. Finally, one thing that really impressed me about this book was the inclusion of a lot of information about his wife, Lucy. This book, however, gave us a clear indication of the successful woman Lucy Turnball is in her own right - and why they make such a terrific team. Paul ARH Feb 05, Paul McCarthy rated it it was amazing. If you want to know more about the remarkable life of Australia's 29th Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull then this book is for you. Manning draws together an amazing amount of research into a coherent and well flowing book. Born to Rule is a great book and will no doubt stand the test of time. It is easy to read and very funny in parts. There's some amazing stories featuring many of Australia's best known business and political leaders of the past 50 years including Neville Wran, Kerry Packer, Gou If you want to know more about the remarkable life of Australia's 29th Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull then this book is for you. It's also a great personal story of triumph over adversity as we learn how a young Turnbull overcame early challenges in his school and home life to find extraordinary success at University, in the law and then later in business. As testimony to the books punch — one of the first feature-length newspaper reviews of this book by respected Morning Herald writer Paul Sheehan, who lives in Turnbull's electorate and voted against him in the last election, said that after reading Manning's biography he now intends to vote for Turnbull at the next one. Highly recommended if you are interested in Australian politics, law or business. Also recommended for those who enjoy a well-told story of an amazing and inspirational life. I found some parts of the book very interesting and some parts of the book very uninteresting. There was a chapter devoted to the 'Spycatcher' book saga, when Malcolm defended the case in court. A long chapter of the book concerning Godwin Grech was padded out, seemingly with the intent of just putting words on a page without any relevance to anything. I was looking forward to reading in detail of the leadership spill and its machinations in September However there was only one paragraph on the subject. Given the long, somewhat rambling and uninteresting Grech chapter, I would have expected more than one paragraph on the election of Malcolm Turnbull to the leadership of the Liberal Party and therefore becoming the Prime Minister. However the book does give some insight into Malcolm Turnbull and the man he is today. Jan 01, Chris rated it liked it. It became a trend because we have had so many new Prime Ministers in recent years! I have to admit that I didn't persevere with this one until the end. No disrespect to Paddy Manning and his meticulous research or his writing style. I found I became really disinterested when the book reached Malcolm's political years as they were so recent that I felt I'd lived them already via the media. I did however really enjoy reading about his child hood and early adult years. This was an unauthorised biography which is always tricky in terms of access to information and people but usually leaves the author more freedom to take an independent position unfettered by the subject's attempts at image management. I think Paddy Manning did a sterling job and would recommend his book to anyone who wants to try to understand the man behind the position. Mar 15, Ned Charles rated it really liked it Shelves: biography. If half stars were possible I would make this a 4. A good, well written, unauthorized biography. The report commences with Turnbull's parents and continues on through what was not an enviable childhood, despite the obvious opportunities. It is easy to gain an opinion that Turnball was generously guided by senior people such as Packer, his father-in-law and Wran, obviously his efforts were admirable and they continued to see something that was worth pursuing.
