Anzac and Aviator
'He was courageous. He was ambitious. He was skilled. He was visionary. He could be ruthless. He was someone born of a new nation. But he was of a time now long past. And yet in the language of a later generation it could be said he had the "right stuff" . . .

Nitrous Oxide and Climate Change
"Nitrous oxide, N2O, is the third most important (in global warming terms) of the greenhouse gases, after carbon dioxide and methane. As this book describes, although it only comprises 320 parts per billion of the earth's atmosphere, it has a so-called Global Warming Potential nearly 300 times greater than that of carbon dioxide. N2O emissions are difficult to estimate, because they are predominantly biogenic in origin. The N2O is formed in soils and oceans throughout the world, by the microbial processes of nitrification and denitrification, that utilise the reactive N compounds ammonium and nitrate, respectively. These forms of nitrogen are released during the natural biogeochemical nitrog...
I Mean You Know
"[A] play of many voices that celebrates the music of thought. Seven people by chance and circumstance inhabit the same building. During this work day walls become translucent, barriers that separate these solitary workers thin out. The characters reveal themselves through the melodies and rhythms in their speech, exposing personalities that are complex and often contradictory. I mean you know delineates the varieties of orchestrations and juxtapositions of voices within a musical score format. This visual book serves both as a book that reads silently out loud and as a script for performance"--Book jacket.
