What’s France got to do with it?
While only one book-length memoir recounting the sojourn of an Australian in France was published in the 1990s, well over 40 have been published since 2000, overwhelmingly written by women. Although we might expect a focus on travel, intercultural adjustment and communication in these texts, this is the case only in a minority of accounts. More frequently, France serves as a backdrop to a project of self-renovation in which transplantation to another country is incidental, hence the question ‘What’s France got to do with it?’ The book delves into what France represents in the various narratives, its role in the self-transformation, and the reasons for the seemingly insatiable demand among readers and publishers for these stories. It asks why these memoirs have gained such traction among Australian women at the dawn of the twenty-first century and what is at stake in the fascination with France.

Research Justice
Challenging traditional models for conducting social science research within marginalized populations, "research justice" is a strategic framework and methodological intervention that aims to transform structural inequalities in research. This book is the first to offer a close analysis of that framework and present a radical approach to socially just, community-centered research. It is built around a vision of equal political power and legitimacy for different forms of knowledge, including the cultural, spiritual, and experiential, with the goal of greater equality in public policies and laws that rely on data and research to produce social change.
The Hockey Player and the Angel
Top chef Katrina Sherrer should have left Marc Johansen out in the cold. That's where she is headed if she can't change his mind. The All-Star defenseman is determined to buy the family-owned Acadia Restaurant and Inn and tear it down. But the gods of blizzards and power outages have other ideas—they want to have fun. They strand Marc at the inn and Katrina in his room. Cognac, fireplaces, cold showers, wrong medication, and scones need to work their magic to prove that Marc can be more than Katrina's arch-enemy and business is not all about money.
World Wide Agora
The book World Wide Agora based on quotations and citations connected, from a myriad of sources, cultures, disciplines, eras and areas. A grand debate, like in a virtual Athens's Agora where old and hot issues are discussed, sometimes also in a dramatically, cynical, sarcastic and humoristic ways and from which a collage was created - a portrait of mankind. The book describes in an innovative way, myth and reality, the struggle of mankind towards progress; the mechanisms, the forces, the hurdles and dangers. Will humanity reach its goal to grasp the ultimate stage of knowledge? Or at least a stage that ensures mankind survival? Or will we collapse before that. Those questions and thoughts emerge from all those bits and pieces synthesized into one whole, taking into consideration the individualâs and societyâs points of view (in micro and macro levels.)
