Death, Sex & Money
What was it like being at the news desk on the evening of September 11 2001? Or when the space shuttle Columbia disintegrated on re-entry in February 2003? Or when the tsunami hit on Boxing Day 2004? Death, Sex and Money is an open window into the frenetic world of journalism, and how editors fill the pages of a newspaper every day. Veteran journalist Michael Young takes readers behind the masthead to reveal the players involved in writing, editing and producing the modern newspaper. Experience life at a chaotic news desk, and see first-hand how news is collected and the big stories covered. What emerges is the changing definition of news, and how newspapers have had to adapt to the twenty-first century in the ever-present shadow of the internet, blogs and citizen journalism, shrinking formats and falling circulation.
Oculi
Works from Australia's leading photographers Oculi Photography Group 'As a collective, we made a real point of documenting our homeland - its sensitivities, its great brutalist elements, the light that has scorched and battered this land for millennia.' - Dean Sewell. This stunning anthology of 250 photographs marks ten years since the formation of the acclaimed Oculi photographic collective.

Drought Country
Droughts have lurked behind Australia’s major nation-shaping moments from European settlement at Port Jackson to Federation. They have caused catastrophic damage to Aboriginal, colonial and modern societies and, of course, to the very land itself. Indeed, by depriving us of water, that element most fundamental to life, droughts cut to the very essence of living in Australia. Weaving historical accounts with scientific theory, Robert Godfree will take you on a journey through the most brutal Australian droughts of the past three centuries, encountering mythmaking, colonialism, smallpox, economic depression, a ‘dust bowl’, heatwaves, ecosystem collapse and the coming of the second ‘age of coal’. With analysis and insights informed by his childhood in rural Australia and career in research science, he reflects on the choices made during each of these crises and looks to the future of what is becoming a more volatile and human-dominated continent. Drought Country is a timely exploration of this continent’s harsh climate, providing useful insights for land managers, the scientific community, environmentalists and general readers.
The Bilingual Mind
If language influences the way we think, does it mean that bilinguals think differently in their respective languages? Interweaving cutting edge research, case studies and personal experience, this book will take you on a quest to unlock the mysteries of the bilingual mind.
''TEACHING DAYS''
I can do a similar version for "Teaching Days" which offers various insights into the 20 plus years I spent working for TAFE NSW, an organisation I joined in 1988. I was appointed Head Teacher of Professional Photography in1995 and held that position until I retired in August 2008. "Teaching Days" describes some of the staff and students that I encountered as well as some of the wins and losses that are inevitable in a large beaurocracy.
Fake News
The news is a public good and needs to be handled with care and integrity. Even though lies and misinformation campaigns have been around for years—maybe since the dawn of journalism—the rate at which fake news is being spread these days is both alarming and preposterous. Almost every institution—public or private—uses fake news to further its own agenda. Governments and corporate houses spread fake news either through their own agencies or by influencing the popular media. In the business sector, fake news manifests itself in the form of exaggerated company returns and false data. This book analyses the impact of fake news both on products and personalities. Foregrounded in rigorous...
