Under Centauri
"Under Centauri": contains fifteen short stories about life in contemporary rural Australia. The stories are about local people encountered during extensive overland travel through remote regions. They include a story about a Greek migrant with a speech impediment who found acceptance in Darwin during the devastation of Cyclone Tracey; how a fishing boat crew encouraged a crocodile to follow their vessel in order to get rid of the refuse thrown overboard—and the consequence; how a dead child saved his mother during a major flood. They are humorous or poignant, universal in their themes, socially aware and have emotional impact.

The Employee Ownership Manual
This book is intended to meet a range of different needs and to cater for different levels of knowledge about employee ownership. If you are considering making your company employee-owned or you are advising someone going through that process, and in either case are new to the topic, you can build up your knowledge levels from Chapter 1. Alternatively, the book can be used as a reference work if you have a particular question to answer.Some parts of the book will not be relevant to every reader. For example, several chapters consider how employees can acquire shares personally: these will not be relevant to companies which intend their employee ownership only to be through an employee trust. The book is intended as practical guide rather than a highly detailed technical treatise. Its priority is to explain key issues in an accessible fashion and to raise awareness of where further exploration and advice may be important.

Reflections While Flying on Empty
I once likened composing poems to wine making. I suggested, the majority of poetry written, although palatable, is often not worthy of a gold medal. Occasionally though, a poet produces a fine vintage that lingers on our mind's palette. Just as there are numerous factors to consider in wine-making, so too in composing poetry; Jeremy Gadd, in his latest collection of poems, has mastered the processes that go to make up a memorable drop.Jeremy's poetry covers a wide range of interesting subjects, bringing his own inimitable thought-provoking points of view and unusual but appropriate phases. Space does not permit me to pick from the numerous exquisite phrases Jeremy uses, but the extent of his...
