AUSTRALIA JULY 2019 On Eating Meat: The truth about its production and the ethics of eating it Matthew Evans
A scorching manifesto on the ethics of eating meat by the best placed person to write about it - farmer and chef Matthew Evans, aka The Gourmet Farmer.
Description 'Compelling, illuminating and often confronting, On Eating Meat is a brilliant blend of a gastronome's passion with forensic research into the sources of the meat we eat. Matthew Evans brings his unflinching honesty - and a farmer's hands-on experience - to the question of how to be an ethical carnivore.' Hugh Mackay
'Intellectually thrilling - a book that challenges both vegans and carnivores in the battle for a new ethics of eating. This book will leave you surprised, engrossed and sometimes shocked - whatever your food choices.' Richard Glover
How can 160,000 deaths in one day constitute a 'medium-sized operation'?
Think beef is killing the world? What about asparagus farms? Or golf?
Eat dairy? You'd better eat veal, too.
Going vegan might be all the rage, but the fact is the world has an ever-growing, insatiable appetite for meat - especially cheap meat. Former food critic and chef, now farmer and restaurateur Matthew Evans grapples with the thorny issues around the ways we produce and consume animals. From feedlots and abattoirs, to organic farms and animal welfare agencies, he has an intimate, expert understanding of the farming practices that take place in our name. Evans calls for less radicalisation, greater understanding, and for ethical omnivores to stand up for the welfare of animals and farmers alike. Sure to spark intense debate, On Eating Meat is an urgent read for all vegans, vegetarians and carnivores.

Pier 9 AUSTRALIA JULY 2019 The Borgias: Power and Fortune Paul Strathern
The sensational story of the rise and fall of one of the most notorious families in history, by the author of The Medici.
Description The Borgia family have become a byword for evil. Corruption, incest, ruthless megalomania, avarice and vicious cruelty - all have been associated with their name. But the story of this remarkable family is far more than a tale of sensational depravities, it also marks a decisive stage in European history.
During this crucial period when the Renaissance was coming into its own, it was the rise and fall of the Borgia dynasty which held centre stage. These were leading players at the very moment when our modern world was creating itself. By relating this influential family to their time, together with the world which enabled them to flourish, Paul Strathern tells the story of this great dynasty as never before.

What better way to understand ourselves than through the eyes of comedians - those who professionally examine our quirks on stage daily? In this touching and witty book, award-winning presenter and comic Robin Ince uses the life of the stand-up as a way of exploring some of the biggest questions we all face.

Description Financial Times' best history books of the year Sunday Times' best history books of the year
In 1839 Britain embarked on the first of its wars with China, sealing the fate of the most prosperous and powerful empire in Asia, if not the world.

Atlantic PBS AUSTRALIA JULY 2019 Map Of Another Town M.F.K. Fisher
Fisher's memoir of the French provincial capital of Aix-en-Provence is, as the author tells us, 'my picture, my map, of a place and therefore of myself,' and a vibrant and perceptive profile of the kinship between a person and a place.
Description 'I was a brash newcomer to it, and yet when I first felt the rhythm of its streets and smelled its ancient smells, I said, 'Of course,' for I was once more in my own place, an invader of what was already mine.'
M.F.K. Fisher moved to Aix-en-Provence with her daughters after the Second World War. In Map of Another Town, she traces the history of this ancient and famous town, known for its tree-lined avenues, pretty fountains and ornate facades. Beyond the tourist sights, Fisher introduces us to its inhabitants: the waiters and landladies, down-and-outs and local characters - all recovering from the affects of the war in a drastically new France. A companion piece to The Gastronomical Me, in this memoir Fisher finds herself alone, older and with two small children to care for, while at the same time discovering a sense of belonging and acceptance. This is an intimate portrait of a place, which is also a self-portrait. As Fisher writes: 'Here before me now is my picture, my map, of a place and therefore myself.'
About the Author Mary Frances Kennedy Fisher (1908-1992) was one of the greatest American food writers of the twentieth century. She is the author of 27 books of food, memoir, and travel, many of which have become classics.

Daunt Books AUSTRALIA JULY 2019 The Gastronomical Me M.F.K Fisher
A memoir of food and travel by America's 'poet of the appetites'.
Description Beginning with her first food memory - the greyish-pink fuzz of her grandmother's strawberry jam - M.F.K. Fisher takes us on a voyage of gastronomical discovery, from her childhood in America to her arrival in Dijon as a young woman, where she tasted real French cooking for the first time. As she embarks on a whole new way of eating, drinking and living in Europe, Fisher recounts memorable meals shared with an assortment of eccentric characters, set against a backdrop of mounting pre-war tensions. In exquisite prose, both convivial and confiding, Fisher shows how food unlocks memories of life's most significant moments, from family celebrations and tensions, to falling in and out of love, to great and dramatic journeys across continents. As she reveals the secret to ordering well, how to cook for those you love, and the true art of eating alone, Fisher proves that when there is food in the bowl, more often that not, there is nourishment in the head and heart.
About the Author Mary Frances Kennedy Fisher (1908-1992) is considered one of the greatest American writers of the twentieth century. In 1929, the newly married Fisher sailed to Dijon with her husband and tasted real French cooking for the first time.

Daunt Books AUSTRALIA JULY 2019 Consider The Oyster M.F.K. Fisher
'Eating an oyster is like French kissing a mermaid.' - Tom Robbins
Description The celebrated American food writer M.F.K. Fisher pays tribute to that most delicate and enigmatic of foods: the oyster. She tells of oysters found in stews and soups, roasted, baked, fried, prepared a la Rockefeller or au naturel - and of the pearls sometimes found therein. As she describes each dish, Fisher recalls her own initiation into the 'strange cold succulence' of raw oysters as a young woman in Marseille and Dijon, and explores both the bivalve's famed aphrodisiac properties and its equally notorious gut-wrenching powers.
Plumbing the 'dreadful but exciting' life of the oyster, Fisher invites readers to share in the comforts and delights that this delicate edible evokes, and enchants us along the way with her characteristically wise and witty prose.

Chartwell Crestline AUSTRALIA JULY 2019 Apollo: The Mission to Land a Man on the Moon Al Cimino
Apollo follows man's dream of walking among the stars and charts how space travel and space programs have grown since then.
Description Apollo is a survey of the Apollo missions and the impact touching the moon had on society.
This year marks 50 years since Neil Armstrong became the first man to walk on the Moon. When his famous words came crackling across the atmosphere-'That's one small step for man; one giant leap for mankind.' The first moon landing took place on July 20, 1969, during the Apollo 11 mission. Nine days earlier, on July 11, 1969, David Bowie released his iconic 'Space Oddity' song about Major Tom the astronaut. The two events resonated with people back on Earth like a match made in the heavens. The crew of Apollo 11-Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins-had been launched into space by the powerful Saturn 5, a three-stage rocket which was about as tall as a 36-story building. It was the culmination of NASA's human spaceflight program which began 1961.
This is the story of the Apollo Missions, with all of its ups and downs-in 1967, a cabin fire killed the entire crew of Apollo 1, and-after an oxygen tank exploded-the Apollo 13 crew limped back to Earth using the lunar module as 'lifeboat.' But despite Apollo's many setbacks, twelve men walked on the Moon and their place in American history was assured forever.
About the Author Al Cimino is a journalist and author who specializes in history and crime. His books include Great Record Labels, Spree Killers, War in the Pacific, Omaha Beach, Battle of Guadalcanal, and Battle of Midway.

Chartwell Crestline AUSTRALIA JULY 2019 Heavy Metal: The Story in Pictures Michael Heatley
Takes you on a stunning visual tour through the evolution of heavy metal - with 350+ photos of the genres cutting-edge bands, both on an off the stage, and timelines of major events.
Description Heavy Metal: The Story in Pictures is a colorful guide to this complex but enormously popular subject, including a look at festivals, fans, and the heavy metal lifestyle. Over 350 photographs feature heavy metal's cutting-edge bands on stage- with some candid behind-the-scenes shots, too. Each chapter starts with a detailed chronological timeline of major events-band formations and fold-ups; seminal album releases; important tours and gigs-followed by a photographic coverage of the decade.
Heavy metal developed in the late 1960s and early 1970s in the United Kingdom and the United States. With roots in blues, progressive, and psychedelic rock, heavy metal developed a thick, massive sound, characterized by highly amplified distortion, extended guitar solos, emphatic beats, and overall loudness. It did not take long before the first heavy metal bands-the blues-based Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, and Deep Purple being the leaders-attracted large audiences and significant album sales. Often critically and publicly reviled-something that is true to this day-few of these hard rock pioneers would continue on into the heavy metal genre.
By the mid-1970s, Judas Priest helped spur the genre's evolution by discarding much of its blues influence. Motörhead introduced a punk-rock sensibility and an increasing emphasis on speed. Bands such as Iron Maiden, Def Leppard, and Saxon followed in a similar vein. Before the end of the 1970s, heavy metal had attracted a huge following of headbanging fans. Behind the music ran a vein of anti-authoritarianism and-more insinuated than real-Satanism and black magic that really got the pundits talking, as did the aggression and violence implied by so many band names and song titles.
Heavy Metal: The Story in Pictures looks carefully at the ancient history-the 1960s through to the start of the 1980s-but the bulk of the book concentrates on the last 30 years that saw the splintering of the genre into a myriad forms: from the great thrash metal bands-Exodus, Metallica, Anthrax, Megadeath, Slayer and then Kreator, Sodom, and Destruction, and Brazil's Sepultura-to metalcore, that combines various elements of extreme metal and hardcore punk, by way of death Price: $35.00 $39.99 ISBN: 9780785836612 metal, black metal, power metal, doom metal, gothic metal, glam metal, alternative metal, nu metal, folk metal, Viking Format: Hard Cover metal, drone metal, sludge metal, extreme metal, and even retro-metal.

Corvus PBS AUSTRALIA JULY 2019 Home Remedies Xuan Juliana Wang
A blazing, intimate collection about a young generation of Chinese millennials, their unconventional sex lives and fantastic technologies, on a quest for every kind of freedom.
Description The twelve stories in Xuan Juliana Wang's remarkable debut collection capture the unheard voices of a new generation of Chinese youth. A generation for whom the Cultural Revolution is a distant memory, WeChat is king and life glitters with the possibility of love, travel, technology, and, above all, new identities.
Whether at home or abroad, her stories catch their characters at the threshold of bold and uncertain futures, navigating between their cultural heritage and the chaos of contemporary life. In a crowded apartment on Mott Street, an immigrant family raises its first real Americans. At the Beijing Olympics, a pair of synchronized divers stand poised at the edge of success and self-discovery. And on a snowless New York evening, a father creates an algorithm to troubleshoot the problem of raising a daughter across an ever-widening gulf of cultures and generations.
From fuerdai ('second-generation-rich' kids) and livestream stars to a glass-swallowing qigong grandmaster, these stories upend the well-worn path of the immigrant experience to reveal a new face of belonging: of young people testing the limits of who they are and who they will one day become, in a world as vast and various as their ambitions.
In dexterous, electric prose, Xuan Juliana Wang's stories reveal a dazzling imagination and announce the arrival of a beguiling new voice in American fiction.
About the Author Xuan Juliana Wang was born in Heilongjiang, China but after age seven, did most of her growing up in Los Angeles.

Description Stewart O'Nan is renowned for illuminating the unexpected grace of everyday life and the resilience of ordinary people with humour, intelligence, and compassion. In this prequel to the beloved Emily, Alone, he offers an unsentimental, moving life story of a twentieth-century everyman.

It's 1998, the American century is ending, and nothing is simple anymore. His children are distant, their unhappiness a mystery. Only his wife Emily and dog Rufus stand by him. Once so confident, as Henry's strength and memory desert him, he weighs his dreams against his regrets and is left with questions he can't answer: Is he a good man? Has he done right by the people he loves? And with time running out, what, realistically, can he hope for?
Like Emily, Alone, Henry, Himself is a wry, warmhearted portrait of an American original who believes he's reached a dead end only to discover life is full of surprises.

Pushkin AUSTRALIA JULY 2019 She Would Be King Wayetu Moore
Loosely based on a short chapter in Liberian history, She Would Be King is a fictional retelling of the country's founding.
Description Coming from the West African village of Lai, a Virginia plantation and Jamaica, three characters meet at the settlement of Monrovia, and it is through their disparate yet connected stories that Wayetu Moore crafts an astonishing new vision of the founding years of Liberia.
In 1831, Gbessa is exiled from Lai for being cursed, forced to wander alone and starving with only the spirit of the wind to guide her. June Dey is born on the Emerson plantation with superhuman strength, which he conceals until a confrontation with an overseer forces him to flee. Norman Aragon, the son of a white British colonizer and a Maroon slave, finds he has inherited his mother's power to disappear at will.
When their paths cross amid the tensions between African American settlers and indigenous tribes in Liberia, their peculiar gifts become central to the founding conflicts of this emerging state. She Would Be King is a brilliantly imagined mixture of history and magical realism from an exciting new writer.

When she discovers that Stan is leading a double-life, she runs away to make a fresh start.

Allison & Busby AUSTRALIA JULY 2019 The Trial Of Lady Chatterley's Lover Sybille Bedford
The first full-scale literary trial in Britain's history - re-counted by the ever-charming and inimitable Sybille Bedford.
Description The prosecution then read that extraordinary page about the source of life. The court sat rapt... 'The weight of a man's balls"" puritanical?' The witness: 'Yes, it is puritanical in its reverence.' 'Reverence for what?' screamed the prosecutor. 'The balls?' 'Indeed, yes,' said the witness gently.
When Penguin released a new, unexpurgated edition of DH Lawrence's Lady Chatterley's Lover in 1960 they were charged with the crime of publishing obscene material. The publisher was forced to defend the book's literary merit in a court of law -- thus beginning one of the most famous trials of the 20th century.
There to take it all in, armed with her pencil and paper, was Sybille Bedford - who wastes no time complaining about the claustrophobia of Courtroom 1 at the Old Bailey. With her trademark wit and flair, Bedford presents us with a play-by-play of the trial: from the prosecution's questioning of the novel's thirteen sexual encounters and their listing of all 66 instances of swear words, to the dozens of witnesses who testified - including the Bishop of Woolwich and E. M. Forster.
Bedford gives us a timeless and dramatic account that captures one of the most fascinating and absurd moments in both legal and publishing history, when attitudes and morals shifted forever.
About the Author Sybille Bedford (1911-2006) was born in Charlottenburg, Germany and grew up in Italy, France, and England. The account of her travels in Mexico, A Visit to Don Otavio, was her first published book in 1953, and she followed it with three novels, A Legacy (1956), A Favourite of the Gods (1963) and A Compass Error (1968). Her semi-autobiographical novel, Jigsaw, was shortlisted for the Booker Prize in 1989. Her memoir, Quicksands, was published in 2005.

An idyllic childhood spent in crumbling Roman palaces, sun-baked olive groves, at sumptuous parties and being taught by the most interesting men in Rome, is changed forever by a fatal clash of culture and an impulsive decision.

Description Fermented foods have shown to be beneficial for a number of health conditions including candida overgrowth, IBS and digestive difficulties, sugar/carb cravings, and other inflammatory disorders.

Fermented Foods for Health includes meal plans of fermented foods for addressing specific ailments and repairing the metabolism. Seventy-five delicious recipes show readers how to ferment everything from meats to vegetables, fruits, and dairy- and how to utilize each of them for specific health benefits such as balancing the body's PH, increasing enzyme production, and strengthening immunity.

Fair Winds Press AUSTRALIA JULY 2019 Fermented Foods at Every Meal Hayley Ryczek
Now it's so easy to make fermented foods part of your diet!
Description We live in a fermentation nation. Fermented foods like yogurt, sauerkraut, and kombucha are popular blog and diet staples, and rightfully so! They are loaded with nourishing probiotics, and they're downright delicious. While most people know they should be incorporating fermented foods into their diet, they're not sure how to consume them on a daily basis. Fermented Foods at Every Meal changes all that. Author Hayley Ryczek teaches the ins and outs of weaving fermented foods into breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
This book introduces readers to: Yogurt, Sauerkraut, Kombucha, Kefir, Creme Fraiche, Dried Fruit Chutney, Fermented Ketchup, Fermented Carrots, Sweet Pickled Relish, Sweet and Spicy Tomato Salsa.
Each chapter in Fermented Foods at Every Meal delves into one of these ten fermented foods and teaches readers how to make it at home. The book then guides readers through simple ways to use each live-culture powerhouse food, starting with simple recipes, such as Sweet Creme Grilled Peaches, and moving into more inventive eats that cross over with ferments from other chapters.
In Fermented Foods at Every Meal, emphasis is put on retaining the probiotic and enzymatic qualities of these foods by not overheating them. After all, anyone can blend kefir into muffin batter and call it a kefir recipe, but the oven kills the properties of kefir that help you digest the meal you're eating, which was the whole point of consuming fermented food in the first place!
This book's emphasis on informed, healthful eating, plus the range of recipes it offers, set Fermented Foods at Every Meal apart from any other book in its genre. Revolutionize your daily diet with these delicious probiotic powerhouse recipes!
