Sawkill Girls meets The Hazel Wood in this lush and eerie debut, where the boundary between reality and nightmares is as thin as the veil between the living and the dead.

Lost Waters charts the history since white settlement of one waterscape, where the Lal Lal Creek enters the West Moorabool branch of the Moorabool River near Ballarat in the central highlands of western Victoria. It is a water supply catchment area, where water has been gathered and channeled, waterways reconfigured and connections weakened. In bringing a historical rather than scientific perspective to the issue, Erica Nathan considers what is often lost in the contemporary politics of water re-allocation: what water means to people. She uncovers the knowledge, memory and experience of petitions, picnics, photos and paintings, special trees and boulders, gold diggings, water hole disputes, allocation debates, saw milling, frontage tensions, swimming and fishing that connect people to place. Lost Waters is a history of one waterscape, but with implications that extend far beyond the one locality. It shows how an understanding of the issues of water and water management must be based on the experience of people as well as debates over resource allocation.

Much of what you’ve heard about plastic pollution may be wrong. Instead of a great island of trash, the infamous Great Pacific Garbage Patch is made up of manmade debris spread over hundreds of miles of sea—more like a soup than a floating garbage dump. Recycling is more complicated than we were taught: less than nine percent of the plastic we create is reused, and the majority ends up in the ocean. And plastic pollution isn’t confined to the open ocean: it’s in much of the air we breathe and the food we eat. In Thicker Than Water: The Quest for Solutions to the Plastic Crisis, journalist Erica Cirino brings readers on a globe-hopping journey to meet the scientists and activists tell...
