AUGUST 2015 Surveillance Bernard Keane AUGUST 2015 Surveillance Bernard Keane They are watching you. Every move you make. Gripping fiction with an edge of terrifying truth - the brilliant and timely debut novel from Crikey's Bernard Keane. Description 'Veldtech sounded so familiar I searched the WikiLeaks Spy Files.' JULIAN ASSANGE 'They called him an info-terrorist and launched a worldwide hunt for the hacker humiliating the Australian government. But by the time they'd caught their man, there was a new superwarrior in the annals of the Cyber War . .' The government is spying on everyone. But who is spying on the government? A ruthless online activist group called Kittehsaurus Rox has hacked into top-secret Cabinet information and gone public with it, creating widespread panic and embarrassing a government that will stop at nothing to hunt down 'KSR'. Journalist and cyber-expert Kat Sharpe is chosen by KSR to break news of their operations, and overnight she becomes the media sensation she has always longed to be. But as she gets closer to KSR and its circle of supporters, she can't shake the feeling that something doesn't add up. Cybersecurity company Veldtech Industries is in line to make a fortune out of the carnage created by the hackers. But they have their own desperate secrets to protect - from the government and from each other. Surveillance is a thrilling, timely novel about the price we pay for our 'security' and the lengths companies - and governments - will go to hide the truth.

A moving portrait of the man behind the legend. Description This novel tells the story of a real-life Australian hero, photographer, explorer and adventurer Frank Hurley. It is a story told through his eyes and in his words, and it reveals a tantalising portrait of the man behind the legend he has become. Hurley's photographs and documentaries of Douglas Mawson's and Ernest Shackleton's Antarctic expeditions, and his astounding images of World War I have been so widely exhibited and reproduced that in many cases they are the principal means by which we have come to see those world-shattering events. His iconic images: of Endurance trapped in an ocean of ice, of men battling the most extreme elements in the Antarctic, and suffering under unthinkable conditions in war are imprinted on the Australian consciousness. One writer has claimed that Frank Hurley 'is the twentieth century'. Here now is the man, Hurley, telling us of his part in the two ill-fated Antarctic expeditions and recounting tales of great heroism and suffering as he fights for his life among the ice and the elements, and witnesses the worst ravages of war on the Western Front. Endurance is an extraordinary debut novel, a rollicking white-knuckle adventure story that also takes us to the very heart of heroism and sacrifice. About the Author Tim Griffiths was living in Papua New Guinea when he first came across Frank Hurley's photographs of that country, leading to a long-term interest in the Hurley story. He has had no experiences on the scale of Hurley's adventures and is yet to have an opportunity to visit Antarctica, but has travelled through Europe, Asia and America. He enjoys bushwalking, cross-country skiing, sailing, kayaking, surfing, diving and cycling. Price: $29.99 (NZ$32.99) ISBN: 9781760111540 Tim lives in Sydney with his wife and four children.

Description 'Delightful, endearing, frequently hilarious...reminds us of the truth hidden away in our hearts: loving our animals is a sure way to heal our souls.' Garth Stein, author of The Art of Racing in the Rain 'This is the best writing I've seen in years, comedy and tragedy jostling within a single sentence. Give it your undivided attention.' Country Style When Dr Cyrus Mills returned home after inheriting his estranged father's veterinary practice, The Bedside Manor for Sick Animals, the last thing he wanted was to stay in Eden Falls a moment longer than absolutely necessary. However the appealingly awkward and eccentric vet quickly found that he actually enjoyed treating animals and getting to know the eccentric residents of the tiny provincial town-especially an attractive and alluring waitress named Amy. Now Cyrus is determined to make Bedside Manor thrive. Not an easy goal, given that Healthy Paws, the national veterinary chain across town, will stop at nothing to crush its humble competitor. And the rival vet practice isn't Cyrus' only competition. A handsome stranger shows up out of nowhere who clearly has a mysterious past with Amy. To top it off, Cyrus finds himself the guardian of a very unique orphaned dog and smack in the middle of serious small town drama. This charming companion to the bestselling novel The Patron Saint of Lost Dog, is a wild and delightful ride through one jam- packed week - in which Cyrus must figure out how to outsmart his rivals, win back Amy's heart, solve several tricky veterinary mysteries, find a home for an orphaned dog and detangle himself from an absurd case of mistaken identity. Dog Gone, Back Soon brims with Nick Trout's trademark humour, charm, and captivating tales and intriguing characters, and is proof that all dogs - lost or not, on four feet or two, deserve a second chance.

Description Just after graduating college, Tristan Campbell receives a letter delivered by special courier to his apartment in San Francisco. It contains news that could change Tristan's life forever. In 1924, an English alpinist named Ashley Walsingham died attempting to summit Mt Everest, leaving his fortune to his former lover, Imogen Soames-Andersson. But the estate was never claimed. Information, recently surfaced, suggests Tristan may be the rightful heir, but unless he can find documented evidence, the fortune will be divided among charitable beneficiaries in less than two months. In a breathless race from London to the Somme battlefields to the Eastfjords of Iceland, Tristan pieces together the story of a forbidden affair set against the tumult of the First World War and the pioneer British expeditions to Mt Everest. But the more he learns about Ashley and Imogen, the stranger his journey becomes. Part love story, part historical thriller, The Steady Running of the Hour is utterly compelling, unpredictable, and heartrending. About the Author Justin Go is thirty-two, raised in California to an American mother and a Japanese father. He has studied history as an undergraduate at UC Berkeley and has received a master's degree in English from University College London.

  • Damascus Christos Tsiolkas
    AUSTRALIA NOVEMBER 2019 Damascus Christos Tsiolkas The stunningly powerful new novel from the author of The Slap. Description 'They kill us, they crucify us, they throw us to beasts in the arena, they sew our lips together and watch us starve. They bugger children in front of fathers and violate men before the eyes of their wives. The temple priests flay us openly in the streets and the Judeans stone us. We are hunted everywhere and we are hunted by everyone. We are despised, yet we grow. We are tortured and crucified and yet we flourish. We are hated and still we multiply. Why is that? You must wonder, how is it we survive?' Christos Tsiolkas' stunning new novel Damascus is a work of soaring ambition and achievement, of immense power and epic scope, taking as its subject nothing less than events surrounding the birth and establishment of the Christian church. Based around the gospels and letters of St Paul, and focusing on characters one and two generations on from the death of Christ, as well as Paul (Saul) himself, Damascus nevertheless explores the themes that have always obsessed Tsiolkas as a writer: class, religion, masculinity, patriarchy, colonisation, refugees; the ways in which nations, societies, communities, families and individuals are united and divided - it's all here, the contemporary and urgent questions, perennial concerns made vivid and visceral. In Damascus, Tsiolkas has written a masterpiece of imagination and transformation: an historical novel of immense power and an unflinching dissection of doubt and faith, tyranny and revolution, and cruelty and sacrifice.

The constitution in fact allows individuals to have all the prerequisites. However, Jews were often deprived of such free space. The world history depicts Jews as swindler. They are considered as the Dhimi members of the society. They are always sidelined and ignored in gentile society. Julian Treslove one of the central characters of The Finkler Question tried to assimilate in the Jewish society but faced anti-Semitic hostility. The study is an attempt to understand the problems of British Jews. This study will try to explore hostility against Jews. It will try to explore issues related to anti-semitic prejudice and its consequences. Key Words: Anti-Semitism, Other, Hostility. 1. INTRODUCTION: God is the creator of the world. He made all his creations as unique and one. All the creations are fulfilled with positive qualities. As every action has opposite reactions similarly, the creations of God reflect the hidden negative attributes. Forgetting the fact, that we all are the children of one creator individuals created their own groups, religions, society, customs etc. Moreover, they are in a race to prove one is superior and the others are inferior ones.

  • Book Groups @ B Lue Mou Ntain S Library the Finkler Question
    The Finkler Question Howard Jacobson Author Background • Birth— August 25, 1942 • Where—Manchester, England, UK • Education—Cambridge University • Awards—Man Booker Prize; Howard Jacobson is a British author and journalist, best known for his comic novels that often revolve around the dilemmas of British Jewish characters. Book Groups @ Blue Mountains Library Born in Manchester, Jacobson was brought up in Prestwich and was educated at Stand Grammar School in Whitefield, before going on to study English at Downing College, Cambridge under F. R. Leavis. He lectured for three years at the University of Sydney before returning to England to teach at Selwyn College, Cambridge. His later teaching posts included a stint at Wolverhampton Polytechnic in the 1970s. Although Jacobson has described himself as "a Jewish Jane Austen" (in response to being described as "the English Phillip Roth"), he also states, "I'm not by any means conventionally Jewish. I don't go to shul. What I feel is that I have a Jewish mind, I have a Jewish intelligence. I feel linked to previous Jewish minds of the past. I don't know what kind of trouble this gets somebody into, a disputatious mind. What a Jew is has been made by the experience of 5,000 years, that's what shapes the Jewish sense of humour, that's what shaped Jewish pugnacity or tenaciousness." He maintains that "comedy is a very important part of what I do." His time at Wolverhampton was to form the basis of his first novel, Coming from Behind, a campus comedy about a failing polytechnic that plans to merge facilities with a local football club.
