Kamikaze Kangaroos!
Tony James Slater knew nothing about Australia. Except for the fact that he'd just arrived there. The stage is set for an outrageous adventure: three people, one van, on an epic, 20,000 mile road trip around Australia. What could possibly go wrong? Of course, the van - nicknamed 'Rusty' - is a crumbling wreck, held together by the world's most garish paint job. They're criss-crossing the continent through some of the most inhospitable land on the planet - the infamous Aussie Outback. And isn't there something about Australian animals being... well, you know, kind of dangerous? Unprepared, under-qualified and hopelessly inept, Tony battles gigantic pumpkins, mechanical mishaps and suicidal kangaroos, armed only with a thong and a sense of humour. His companions struggle to keep him safe whilst climbing in drag, snowboarding off cliffs, and hiking hundreds of miles through the bush. One thing's for sure; this 'adventure of a lifetime' - if they survive it - is something they're never going to forget. So, scull those stubbies! Grab your galahs! And put down that platypus. LOOK OUT, AUSTRALIA! There's an idiot coming...
Can I Kiss Her Yet?
Tony James Slater is back! This time he's got only one thing on his mind: Getting married. According to Bill Shakespeare, the path of true love never did run smooth... And this is Tony; NOTHING ever runs smoothly for him. So the path of true love is about to beat him around the head with a snow shovel. It started so well - with a proposal that left bite marks, and Tony selling his body to medical science in exchange for the wedding budget. But there were bound to be hiccups. Like his fiancé not being allowed into the country... Join in the hilarious antics, as Tony and his bride-to-be fend off randy camels, rapacious rodents, and gigantic cardboard underpants - whilst traveling to Spain, the Middle East, and all over England. This is a story of life, death, love, marriage, and everything in between. It's also the story of how not to plan a wedding. And don't get me started on the honeymoon! 'Can I Kiss Her Yet?' is the latest book following Tony's ridiculous exploits. It can be read just as easily on its own, or as part of a series starting with 'That Bear Ate My Pants!'

Deliberative Democracy
Today, deliberative democracy is the most widely discussed theory of democracy. Its proponents argue that important decisions of law and policy should ideally turn not on the force of numbers but on the force of the better argument. However, it continues to strike some as little more than wishful thinking. In this new book, Ian O’Flynn examines how the concept has developed over recent decades, the family disagreements which have emerged, and the criticisms that have been levelled at it. Grappling with the familiar charge that ordinary people lack the motivation and capacity for meaningful deliberation, O’Flynn considers the example of deliberative polls and citizens’ assemblies and critically assesses how such forums can fit within a broader democratic system. He then considers the implications of deliberative democracy for multicultural and multi-ethnic societies before turning to the prospects for the most ambitious deliberative project of all: global deliberative democracy. This book will be essential reading for students and scholars of democratic theory, as well as anyone who is curious about the prospects for more rational decision-making in an age of populist passion.
