'This book demonstrates that long-term win-win collaboration approaches work. Principals and contractors don't have to end up in conflict or litigation. I would recommend these ideas be adopted by companies eager to improve productivity.' - John Mulcahy, Chairman, Mirvac

'In an industry dominated by conflict and unproductive activity, this book offers a refreshing and practical way for all parties in the building industry to achieve more from their capital and labour inputs. Stephen Hanman and Ian George have shown through application that by introducing trust, respect and meaningful communication into relationships, results improve for all stakeholders. Moreover, the investment required to do the first job carries over to future work, resulting in improved performance with each project. I applaud the efforts of the authors in both creating the environment for their clients to 'do better' in their construction businesses and for sharing their work with the wider business and labour communities. One wonders what benefits could flow to other industries should the broader principles so successfully adopted in this book be applied more widely.' - Terry Henderson, company director and businessman

'This book provides wonderful insights into the way in which economic and social relationships associated with building and construction can be transformed. The participants involved in CGA Bryson projects have experienced considerable benefits in their working and personal lives. There is also evidence of significant economic benefits for all within the project supply chains. In the context of the broader building and construction industry, this account contains lessons which offer solutions for some of the seemingly intractable problems of conflict, waste, poor quality work and alienation that bedevil this industry. We have a lot to learn from these two professionals who are writing about their direct experience in transforming a construction enterprise.' - Professor Tony Dalton, RMIT Australian Housing and Urban Research Institute Research Centre, School of Global, Urban and Social Studies, RMIT University

'In our own research, we have documented in financial terms the benefits of cross-functional, cross-firm collaboration. However, for many executives, building a culture that supports collaboration is not easy. Ian and Stephen not only report on the benefits of collaboration in an industry where such behaviour has not been the norm, but they provide guidelines for building organisations with a culture of collaboration.' - Dr Douglas M Lambert, Fisher College of Business, The Ohio State University, founder of the Supply Chain Management Institute

During the 1950s and 1960s, the British devastated the lands and the tribes of the Australian aborigines through the extensive mining of uranium and through secret nuclear tests. B. Wongar uses these shocking historical events as the starting point for this powerful novel about the destruction of a people and a culture.

According to myth, Gabo Djara, an immense green ant and the spiritual ancestor of local tribes, created the aboriginal land and the pattern of human life there. Then he retreated to the spirit world. But if the land were disturbed, he would "rise again, monstrous, to harass the intruders". And so he does, in this satiric and scathing allegory which pits culture against culture.

Gabo Djara returns, following the nuclear and mining devastations. He infiltrates the reigning circles of white man's society and creates havoc in politics and government, industry, and the church. Although he is pursued relentlessly, he is never captured. Finally, he succeeds in his quest for regeneration and the restoration of aboriginal ways.

'Gabo Djara' is the third book in B. Wongar's highly acclaimed 'nuclear trilogy'. 'Walg' and 'Karan', the first and second books, are also available, and the trilogy has since been extended with the addition of a prequel 'Manhunt', and two further books, 'Raki' and 'Didjeridu Charmer'.

Amy and Christopher, the Frequent Flyer Twins, are on their way from Singapore to Cairns, where the International Games are going to be held. But more than one lot of games are being played!

Amy and Christopher have heard that someone is smuggling steroids in on their flight. All passengers are suspects. So are the airline staff.

Something doesn't add up, but what is it? The Frequent Flyer Twins are just the people to find out.

Featuring the latest information about the murder of Des Moran, including Judy Moran's involvement, these are the gritty stories of Australia's crime world. A hive of secret activity the Australian gangland world is fraught with double-crossings, murders, theft, violence and fraud. Living by their own set of rules and regulations, which often involve crooked members of government and the police force, this is your chance to gain a real insight into how the minds and groups of these gangs really work.

Gangsters & Whores is a romp through some of the more colourful characters of Australian history.

G.S. Willmott tells their stories with his trademark mix of dramatisation and fact, embellishing them with the dialogue and vintage photos, facts, figures and a sly sense of humour. This is not Ned Kelly country - this is the stamping ground of notorious madam Tilly Devine, her violent husband Big Jim, her rival Kate Leigh and Squizzy Taylor. Around them racket the gangs of the 1920s and '30s, shooting, slashing, swearing, stealing and terrorising the locals. Feuds and vendettas, blood and sly grog - it's all here. Who got murdered in his bed during a bout of flu? Who went AWOL so often he was more out of the war than in it? Who stole a shop-load of clothing for his girlfriend? Don't know? Find out, in Gangsters & Whores.

From the turbulent times in Australia, the story moves to the US and then to Britain, piling more facts, figures and local colour onto the foundation.

More fun than a run through the gauntlet but similarly buffeting... Gangsters & Whores is an unforgettable visit to the days of yore (and a quick glimpse into the equally lively resent as the author brings us up to date.)

Arthur W. Upfield gehört zu jenen Autoren, die von den Geschöpfen ihrer dichterischen Phantasie an Popularität weit übertroffen werden. Wer weiß schon, daß er der geistige Vater des berühmten Inspektors Napoleon Bonaparte, genannt Bony, ist? Bony hingegen erfreut sich bei zahlreichen Lesern in vielen Ländern ungewöhnlicher Beliebtheit. Und das auch zu Recht, ist er doch von all den großen Detektivhelden der Kriminalliteratur vielleicht der sympathischste und liebenswerteste, bestimmt aber ist er kein furchteinflößender Superman. Als Sohn einer eingeborenen Mutter und eines weißen Vaters vereint er in sich auf glückliche Weise die altüberlieferten Fähigkeiten der australischen Ureinwohner mit dem modernen Wissen der zivilisierten Welt. So nimmt es nicht wunder, daß er bei Fällen eingesetzt wird, an denen sich andere bereits die Zähne ausgebissen haben, und er darf mit berechtigtem Stolz behaupten, daß er noch nie versagt hat. Oft muß er inkognito auftreten, um ungestört seine Nachforschungen betreiben zu können, und im buchstäblichen Sinn schwere Arbeit leisten.
Der hier vorgelegte Roman zeigt ihn als Zaunarbeiter im wüstengleichen Innern Australiens, wo er es nicht nur mit einem Amok laufenden Kamel aufnehmen muß, bevor er dem Mörder die Hand auf die Schulter legen kann. Es erübrigt sich zu erwähnen, daß Bony auch diesmal seinen Ruf als letzte Waffe der Polizei mit Glanz verteidigt

SAVE TIME AND MONEY BY TAKING CHARGE OF YOUR HEALTH!

Having treated thousands of clients over more than a decade and supervised hundreds of trained physiotherapists in one of Australia's leading health care groups, few people are better positioned to give advice on physical health and wellness than International Author and Speaker Jason Smith. Written in plain English, this unique book will change your life by combining timeproven and medically sound principles with an innovative philosophy of selfempowerment.

You will Discover:

* The secret to wellness is a lot more than being "uninjured" or pain-free

* Crucial health advice that doctors and therapists rarely have time to share with you

* The importance of physical movement to living longer and enjoying life

* Innovative strategies to reduce pain immediately and make a fast recovery

* How to assess which treatment options are best for you

* Proven approaches to achieving lasting results from each physiotherapy session, and not 'lose the benefits' over time

* How to save time and money by not becoming dependent on your practitioner

Back in Motion Health Group first emerged as a concept or desire to operate a first class physiotherapy practice which offered clients' holistic solutions, sustainable outcomes, genuine and ongoing after-care , and was altogether encapsulated in relating to people with prestige and dignity. The more traditional physiotherapy practice models observed at the time certainly did not reflect these found values or philosophies of care. Back in Motion Health Group commenced as a small practice in the home of founders, Jason and Paulina Smith, in September 1999. Their early success resulted in quick growth and by April 2000 had moved the practice from their home into more suitable commercial medical facilities. An expert and committed team soon gathered around Jason and Paulina as they focused on emerging as one of the choice physiotherapy providers and employers in our industry.

John Watson loves his husband, but he'd like Sherlock Holmes to leave this case alone.

They're supposed to be taking a break from London and from work, but when has Sherlock's brain ever taken a holiday? And honestly, the disappearance of Gloria Evans bothers them both - though for very different reasons.

 

Not every case has to be high stakes.

 

Not everything is a matter of life or death.

 

But sometimes it is.

Jessica Mackay has one dream - to be a pilot. Jessica lives on her family farm at Narromine, New South Wales, in the 1920s - the best place for a would-be pilot. Her father developed a passion for flying in Egypt during World War I, and Narromine lies close to the heart of Australia's budding aviation industry.

Even though women were among the first people to take on the challenge of the skies, Jessica's ambitions are not supported by everyone, most notably her grandfather who has firm ideas about 'a woman's place' in the world.

As a junior member of the new Narromine Aero Club, Jessica is well-placed to meet pioneer aviators such as the legendary Sir Charles Kingsford Smith, as well as take part in the first Narromine Air Shows.

Jennifer Bradley's story of a young girl's passion for flying is based firmly on actual events in the fledgling Australian aviation industry.

"Global Warming is a complex thriller with Garry Willmott's trademark mix of fact, fiction and projection. From the death of one man, pilot Ericson, the story builds to a tsunami of blackmail, terrorism, compromise and revenge... and that's before the Russian mafia gets in on the act!

If you've enjoyed Garry's other novels, you'll love Global Warming. Just hold on to your hats and watch out for AK47s."

- Sally Odgers, author.

 

"Garry Willmott's latest book Global Warming is a ripping yarn of espionage and high adventure that stretches from one side of the globe to another.

It is a David and Goliath story in every sense and highlights the vulnerability of the world's smaller more independent countries to the impacts of environmental change.

It is Mr Willmott's obsession with detail which provides so much interest and authenticity in his writings.

Not unlike the Da Vinci Code, underpinning the sometimes-frenetic pace, there are twists and turns, shocks, surprises and mishaps."

- Cenred Harmsworth, recording artist.

 

"Based on a plausible premise Garry has interspersed the drama with well-researched and poignant facts making the story quite thought provoking.

The story continues to build well with many twists and turns and a few surprises along the way.

I found the book highly entertaining the plot easy to follow and an all-round good read. This story is a must-read for any fan of the thriller/drama genre.

Although a work of fiction, this should be read by the world's major polluters (listed within the book); there is a warning here that is not entirely implausible given the current political upheavals and voter shifts seen throughout the globe."

- Martin Humphries

 

"Global Warming, a book of intrigue, thought provoking facts and ideas, with many twists and turns. For the author, Garry Willmott, this is a totally new subject matter, one which encourages much debate and thought about human tragedy.

It is exciting, thought-provoking and imaginative, with a killer ending.

I totally recommend."

- Ian Jones
