THE CROCKETT TALES are short stories for children which emphasise the importance of kindness to people and animals and the protection of our environment. The virtues of patience, obedience, honesty, kindness and wisdom are recurring themes. There are ten entertaining short stories with lively illustrations. All convey in an interesting way a moral which even young children can understand. Children need to respect themselves, others, animals and the environment. All of us need to be less self-seeking, less money-conscious and to be more patient with relatives and friends. The Crockett tales project a new message with each story and allow the reader to think about his own way of improving society.

This book notes that stories of lesbianism invariably engage with an apartment setting, a spatial motif not typically associated with lesbian history or cultural representation. Through the formal analysis of five lesbian apartment films, Wallace demonstrates how the standard repertoire of visual techniques and spatial devices are used to scaffold female sexual visibility.
A body washes up on the banks of the Maribyrnong River in flood. Caught in the act of taking his own life, and surrounded by the bloodstained clothes of his wife, Oleg Kransky is a shoe-in for number one suspect. But he's not talking. To anyone. Oleg's former psychologist, Decca Brand, tells the police that even when Oleg was talking he wasn't telling the truth - about himself or about his wife. It's a complicated tale with more twists and turns than a box full of pretzels. How much water will it take to flush out a murderer? Flush is the third crime novel by Jane Clifton.
This bold and original book examines in detail a relatively new genre of film--the erotic thriller. Linda Ruth Williams traces the genre's exploitation of pornography and noir, discusses mainstream stars (including Michael Douglas and Sharon Stone) as well as genre-branded direct-to-video stars, charts the work of key producers and directors, and considers home videos as a distinct form of viewing pleasure. She maps the history of the genre, analyzing hundreds of movies from blockbusters such as Basic Instinct, Fatal Attraction, and In the Cut to straight-to-video film titles such as Carnal Crimes, Sins of Desire, and Night Eyes. Williams's witty and illuminating readings tell the story of this sensational genre and contribute to the analysis of mainstream screen sex--and its censorship--at the beginning of the 21st century. She shows that as the erotic thriller plays out the sexual fantasies of contemporary America, it also provides a vehicle for marketing those fantasies globally.
