| Title: A Place to Read |
| Sub-title: Life and Books |
| By (author): Michael Cohen |
| ISBN10-13: 1922120928 : 9781922120922 |
| In this essay collection, Michael Cohen tells us about his surprise encounter with the remains of Frida Kahlo, about his father's murder, and about his son's close shave with death on the highway. His subjects can be as commonplace as golfing with close friends, amateur astronomy, birding, or learning to fly at the age of sixty. But he asks difficult questions about how we are grounded in space and time, how we are affected by our names, how a healthy person can turn into a hypochondriac, and how we might commune with the dead. And throughout he measures, compares and interprets his experiences through the lens of six decades of reading. The tools of the writer's trade fascinate him as do eateries in his small college town, male dress habits, American roads, and roadside shrines. He lives on the Blood River in Kentucky when he is not in the Tucson Mountains. |

"Michael Cohen's essays on the reading life are a treat to read. Relaxed, personal, wide-ranging, they contain fascinating nuggets of information and lively assessments of hundreds of books, as well as a whole life's worth of thoughtful rumination on time, love, travel, and family, as well as what it means to be, almost existentially, a reader." -- Christina Thompson, Editor, Harvard Review

This engaging account of Anne's battle with bipolar disorder reveals her story with imagination, sensitivity and humour. Based on her personal experience of caring for someone with a mental illness, she also offers unique insight for carers. |

| Title: Black Mcintosh to Gold |
| By (author): Lois Shepheard |
| ISBN10-13: 1922120820 : 9781922120823 |
| An exquisitely detailed portrayal of settlement Australia in the 1800s, Black McIntosh to Gold spans a century as it traces a familys migration from a fishing village in the far north of Scotland to the gold fields of New South Wales. One after another, members of the McIntosh clan are called to make the journey into unknown territory where dreams of happy families, workable land and perhaps even gold await. Steeped in research and laced with the magic of folklore and the mystery of The Sight, a gift -- or perhaps, curse -- of visions passed along the generations, Black McIntosh to Gold is a fully ripened cultural experience of the ancestors. This elegant and dramatic history offers a clear window into the birth of Australia. It gives voice to the countrys founders, to determined men, women and children who came to Australia hoping for opportunity and a better life. |
