This well-informed and deeply person- al account analyzes bushfires from various angles and examines the possi- bility of limiting their disastrous effects. With fires being a constant and ongoing part of Australian history, ecology, and culture, this study shows that, despite repeated disasters throughout the last two centuries, sur- viving bushfires today has become no easier than during the first European settlements. With rigorous factual research, this record outlines Australia’s significant fires and discusses the aftermath of each. Danielle Clode is the author of Voyages to the South Seas.

New Stories from the Mabinogion series

Drawing from two medieval Welsh manuscripts with roots dating back many centuries earlier, this series of 11 stories sheds light on Celtic mythology and Arthurian romance while providing a new perspective on Great Britain itself. From enchantment and shapeshifting to the age-old dichotomies of conflict versus peacemaking and love versus betrayal, all of these tales are uniquely reinvented, creating fresh, contemporary narratives that portray the real world as much as they depict the past.

From Russia The Real Wales series with Lunch “Utterly compelling ambles around the Welsh capital, full of oddball nuggets and with a terrific senses of context and place.” A Lithuanian Odyssey —Rough Guide to Wales on Real Cardiff and Real Cardiff Two David Smiedt • Part of The Real Wales series, which includes Real Cardiff (9781854113856), Real Cardiff Two (9781854113849), Real Merthyr (9781854114822), Real Eighty-two years after Moses Dibobis Swansea (9781854114846), and Real Wales (9781854114839) escaped from the Lithuanian hamlet of Birzai with nothing but a sack lunch, the author journeys back to this former Soviet enclave looking for a link to his grandfather—something greater than their shared receding hairline and sense of humor. What he finds on this wild road trip is a place where pre- mium vodka is cheaper than water, spa treatments are more than a little invasive, and that Stalin theme parks are just the beginning of the odd charms of this beguiling nation. Through it all, David Smiedt takes all that is irreverent about modern-day Molvania and delivers a charming narrative on his ancestral homeland. David Smiedt is the author of several books, including Are We There Yet?, Boom Boom, and Delivering the Male.

A compelling narrative written by a for- mer undercover police operative, this memoir offers personal insight into the inner workings of the Mafia and some of the most notorious crimes in Australian history. Posing as a dodgy art dealer, Colin McLaren eventually maneuvered his way into Godfather Antonio Romeo’s band of mafiosi and immersed himself within their world. This account of that period details the listening devices, wire taps, drug deals, and the delicate balance between staying sane and staying alive. Chronicling two of the bloodiest decades in organized crime, the record is a fascinating view of the blurring identities, conflicting loyalties, and family strain that is all part of undercover work. Colin McLaren is a former taskforce detective.
