From Migrant to Worker
What happens when local unions begin to advocate for the rights of temporary migrant workers, asks Michele Ford in her sweeping study of seven Asian countries? Until recently unions in Hong Kong, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, and Thailand were uniformly hostile towards foreign workers, but Ford deftly shows how times and attitudes have begun to change.

Ladies First
Ladies First by Ashley Morrison is a compelling account of the remarkable journey undertaken by the Australian women's hockey team at the 1988 Seoul Olympic Games. These 16 women not only secured Australia's first Olympic Gold Medal in Hockey but also clinched the nation's first Gold Medal for a team sport. Yet, despite their incredible feat, their achievements have faded into relative obscurity over time compared with other Gold Medal winners. Morrison delves into the intriguing question of why this team, despite their groundbreaking success, has been largely overlooked by history. Set against the backdrop of one of the last 'amateur' Games, the story raises questions about the shifting landscape of sports and the challenges faced by female athletes in gaining recognition for their accomplishments. Through heartfelt storytelling, Ladies First shines a light on these trailblazing women who etched their names into Australia's sporting history, and who were the pioneers for the team we now know as the 'Hockeyroos', ensuring that their legacy is not forgotten.

Something smells off about this murder, and it's not the stinky cheese. Brianna West needs a fresh start away from the big city.

Soon, other suspects besides Dot emerge like curds from whey. Brianna sets out to prove her aunt's innocence with the help of her chatty best friend, the inflated egos of the local Gourmand Society, and a handsome local Mountie in charge of law enforcement. Brianna vows to sniff out the real murderer before she loses her aunt, her new life on the island, and her succulent, savory cheese café. Cheese is pungent. Murder stinks.
