Healing the Spirit
The authors, both senior Birrpai men, begin by describing the traditional culture, law and way of life of the Birrpai people whose lands stretched from the Hastings River district southwards to beyond the Manning River. The arrival of a large group of white men in the region in 1818, when John Oxley and his party trespassed into the Hastings Valley and followed the river to its mouth at the place Oxley named Port Macquarie, was the trigger for catastrophic impact on Birrpai society. In 1821 a penal colony was established at Port Macquarie, leading to years of complex interactions between the Birrpai, the militia and convicts; sometimes hostile, sometimes seeking forms of accommodation.

Do Stand So Close
A small-town musician from North Carolina tries his luck on the biggest stage of all: New York City. And he hits the jackpot. Mere months into his NYC gambit, guitarist Jeffrey Lee Campbell is catapulted from selling candy in Broadway theaters to touring the world with rock legend Sting. Go behind the scenes with the provincial, wide-eyed rookie as he fakes his way around the globe, shoulder-to-shoulder with his longtime musical hero. Do Stand So Close is a layered, coming-of-age memoir, recounting Jeffrey Lee Campbell's glamorous (and grueling) twenty-five country, six-continent trial by fire on Sting's "Nothing Like The Sun" World Tour. Filled with humorous anecdotes and poignant revelations, Do Stand So Close follows Jeffrey's amazing odyssey--from relocating to NYC and miraculously landing the high-profile gig, to life on the road with one of the planet's biggest rock stars, to his humbling crash-and-burn after the tour.

Writing for the Cut
"Editing is what makes a filmed script a movie. The author sets out on a quest to discover what screenwriters could learn from film editors about storytelling by consulting numerous top film editors. At the heart of this book is one key revelation from the cutting room: juxtaposition is the motor of film storytelling. When you collide images together they spark fresh ideas in the mind of the viewer. And when you do that, viewers become active partners in the storytelling - they discover the story for themselves. Writing For the Cut gives you dynamic tools to write the way editors cut films. In later chapters Writing for the Cut shows how we can bring our stories closer to the screen by writing not only with text, but also with images and sounds. At the end of the book the screenwriter is taken all the way into the edit suite to learn the secrets of the sizzle reel"--
Shock Therapy
Shock therapy is making a comeback today in the treatment of serious mental illness. Despite its reemergence as a safe and effective psychiatric tool, however, it continues to be shrouded by a longstanding negative public image, not least due to films such as the classic One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest, where the inmate of a psychiatric clinic (played by Jack Nicholson) is subjected to electro-shock to curb his rebellious behavior. Beyond its vilification in popular culture, the stereotype of convulsive therapy as a dangerous and inhumane practice is fuelled by professional posturing and public misinformation. Electroconvulsive therapy, or ECT, has in the last thirty years been considered a ...
