This gloriously produced collection has been chosen as representative of the earliest works by gifted artist of the impressionist style. All of whom spent time within the environs of Heidelberg between 1880 and the early 20th century. Even the casual observer would know many of these works, as such feel very comfortable with the Australian uniqueness of colour and country life. Bernard Smith in his influential history, Australian Painting 1788‐1960, claimed that the Heidelberg School was a distinctive Australian school of painting with its beginnings between 1885 to 1890 and was due largely to the energy and vision of Tom Roberts to begin with. To this day, there remains a healthy discourse among art historians as to the definition and thus which artists to include when discussing the Heidelberg School. However, this collection of paintings has been lovingly selected not only as a representation of the leading artists from the Heidelberg School – R o b e r t s , Streeton, McCubbin, Conder and Withers ‐ but they have been chosen for their essence of a bygone era ‐ the pioneer, the shearer, the drover, the rouseabout ‐ all characters woven into Australia’s rich tapestry ‐ captured against the backdrop of ghostly gums, mountain ranges, rivers and seascapes. Long before the homestead and townships became focal points, the Impressionist movement in Europe and the great British landscape artists had inspired this group of young artists living in Australia. With the camaraderie of the artist’s camp where they lived in the open and allowed a deep emotional attachment to influence their broad quick brushstrokes, they created a rich tapestry of work which in a sense brought Australia not only to the world’s attention, but made Australians themselves re‐connect to the uniqueness and beauty of this vast southern land and their pioneering forefathers. The works of the Heidelberg School remain front and centre for us as they are reinterpreted time and again by artists and advertisers: Tom Roberts, Shearing the Rams, being the most obvious example. Many a piece of ephemera is bought and cherished because it carries some representation from the Australian Impressionists. The influence and the importance of the Heidelberg School remains one of the chief reasons for today’s visitors to art galleries.

Are human industrial carbon dioxide emissions causing dangerous global warming? If it is so then climate change surely is one of the great moral challenges of our time. But is it possible that the so‐called consensus science around anthropogenic global warming produced by lavishly funded re‐ search institutes and with its own international political lobby organization—the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)—is wrong? Could it be that the emperor has no clothes? Accessible, clearly written and illustrated with simple scientific illustrations, and accompanied by brilliantly wry and telling cartoons, Taxing Air answers — without the spin, evasions or propaganda that pollutes most official writing on climate change — every question you have about global warming but are too intimidated by the an oppressive ‘consensus’ to ask. Your essential guide to the science and politics of global warming. Taxing Air is an outstanding contribution to the growing literature that examines and calls to account the climate alarmism of the past two decades. Dr. Art Raiche, CSIRO Chief Research Scientist (retired) I could not put this book down … the authors have highlighted every facet of the worldwide scam that is Man‐Made Warming.

During Russell Newman’s 30 years of management, business coaching, consulting and board experience, executives have consistently confessed to him that, despite the great messages and research findings open to them, they find the presentation of leadership and management theory too complex and inaccessible, a factor inexorably contributing to the largely unchanged, inadequate leadership practices dominating business today! The last thing CEOs need in the face of growing complexity and uncertainty facing them and their organizations is … more complexity! Most such books just sit under‐utilized on their office or study shelves … It’s time to change all this! The New CEO in You! is the author’s solution to what he sees as a crisis. It is a practical, step‐by‐step guide to a fresh understanding and simplification of the role of the CEO, and how to enable high performance, sustainability AND satisfaction. Russell carefully examines: • traditional, often outdated models for leadership, management and structuring versus newer more relevant and supple approaches fit to meet future needs • how leaders really think and behave, the dire implications, and what to do • what the latest research tells us is needed to select, develop, motivate and retain the best people, in alignment with the CEO’s future strategies • common yet unrealized business practices that most likely cost you a fortune • how to reassess and effectively engage with your stakeholders • how you can build the essential support around you as you take on change • the huge differences and challenges that face tomorrow’s CEOs, and how to systematically embrace them. The New CEO in You! will refocus you on the few things that really make a difference to your day and your performance. Russell has proven through the book’s many case studies just how much CEOs can add to their bottom line – and their own security – by improving their leadership. And using his remarkable new formula in the exclusive Sealed Section, readers can apply their own numbers to calculate the possible recurrent savings by challenging entrenched practices and systems. Russell’s 10 Step model and other processes, and his conversational, accessible writing style, will guide – TRANSFORM – you and your organization towards what is most satisfying for you as leader and all your people. His core theme – for CEOs both current and aspiring – is to think and rethink more and differently about what they do and why, so that they can lead their organization to a vibrant future. www.dennisjones.com.au Find us on Facebook Dennis Jones & Associates

Despo is an Australian photographer visiting the island of her birth, Cyprus, a country divided by invasion since 1974. At a traditional celebration in a village in the mountains, Despo sees the slender figure of a man in white. When she glimpses his face, she remembers him. It is Stefanos, who was the boy she loved before she left the island at the age of fourteen. Stefanos is defined by the women in his life. In the 70s he was the ‘DJ Prince’, in love with Eleni, the most beautiful girl in town. And there is Katya, a young Russian dancer, who wants to marry him. Then there is Margarita, his soul mate, who adored him from the moment he was born, when she was working as a young prostitute, renting rooms at his mother’s house. And living next-door to him, there is the religious Roula, Stefanos’s playmate when they were children. As Despo and Stefanos unravel their pasts, each tries to understand the meaning of belonging, love, and loss, amidst a distant glimpse of hope for the reunification of the island.

Too Afraid to Cry is a memoir that, in bare blunt prose and piercingly lyrical verse, gives witness to the human cost of policies that created the Stolen Generations of Indigenous people in Australia. It is a narrative of good and evil, terror and happiness, despair and courage. It is the story of a people profoundly wronged, told through the frank eyes of a child, and the troubled mind of that child as an adult, whose life was irretrievably changed by being tricked away from her family and adopted into a German Lutheran family. What makes this book sing is not only Ali Cobby-Eckermann’s strong and unique narrative voice and her ability to cut to the essence of things in her poetry, but also the astounding courage with which she leads the reader through the complex account of a life in free-fall and a journey to wholeness through reconnection with her birth family and its ageless culture and wisdom. This is a brave book, written by a woman who has faced her demons, transformed her suffering into a work of art, and found her true sitting place in the world.

Taking its name from an old quote about the story‐telling power of country music, Issue 11 delves into the wide world of music and celebrates its singular ability to ‘wash away from the soul the dust of everyday life’, to quote 19th century German novelist Berthold Auerbach. Take your seats (or stand by the bar) as an orchestra of emerging and acclaimed contributors take to the stage. Megg Evans, manager of iconic Melbourne jazz club Bennetts Lane, discusses the ‘cosmology, psychology, maths and magic’ of jazz music, while folk musician and artist Kavisha Mazzella reveals how, after being scarred by an incident thirty years earlier, she has been able to pick up her brushes and paints again. Harry James Angus of The Cat Empire talks about his solo material and his development as a songwriter, and eminent Australian composer Peter Sculthorpe discusses his interests in literature and art, and the architectural nature of his music.

The life Born in Toowoomba, Queensland in 1884, Frank Riethmuller settled in Turramurra on Sydney’s North Shore in 1932. He made a lucrative career at the race track as a bookmaker’s penciller. By 1937 he had a house and garden, and by 1940 he was breeding roses. The best ones came out in his last ten years, 1955–1965. The roses Most of his roses were hybrid teas (only one has survived) but the Rosa multiflora hybrids he bred in the tradition of the German breeder Peter Lambert have mostly survived and are his main claim to continuing fame. He also bred two successful floribunda roses, including the medal‐ winning ‘Titian.’ The book Eric Timewell has written a book about Frank Riethmuller. It has 29 colour photos and six in black-and-white. Many are historical photos of Riethmuller and his world. Others are intended to show what the roses are really like. From the book: “Frank was born sick and stayed sick. His mother sold butter and eggs door to door in the town to make ends meet. He always felt himself to be a German and a foreigner, living on the margin of life. Yet in old age he brought out half a dozen of the best roses ever bred in Australia.” Eric believes bred roses are works of art and reward the methods of art history. Once we get the basic facts right (easy to say but hard to do in a country that doesn’t like to remember things), we see that Riethmuller was highly conscious of his place in both German and North Shore history. His roses respond well to being replanted in their era. They are also enduring victories for technique, flourishing from the Huon Valley to Mackay and forearmed against global warming.

In 'The Stone Garden: poems from Clare', Diane Fahey offers a vibrant engagement with key features of County Clare's natural environment. Starting in a cottage in the north‐east, with a long view of the coast, the poet journeys into the further reaches ‐ Lough Derg, Dromore Wood, and the Burren region with its stony but uncannily fertile landscapes, cliffs and shores. 'The Stone Garden' is a resonant, meditative collection of poems presenting intimate glimpses of, and larger perspectives on, the splendours of Clare. Diane Fahey is the author of ten poetry collections and a verse novel, The Mystery of Rosa Morland. The Wing Collection: New and Selected Poems was shortlisted for the 2012 John Bray Poetry Award; Sea Wall and River Light was a winner of the Judith Wright Poetry Award.

Propelled by a deep sense of connection to this country, Steven Nowakowski has managed to carve a path with large format photography, a career enabling him to remain in tune with where his heart lies. Steven's inspiration has long been drawn from true wilderness photographers, Tasmanians Peter Dombrovskis and Olegas Truchanas. Dombrovskis and Truchanas were men not only magnificently talented behind the lens but of whom also carried a quiet, yet incredibly powerful message behind their work. Similarly, their vision at the time was to utilise the printed image to highlight the immeasurable vulnerability of a region they loved dearly, places vastly unknown and unseen by most. Indeed it was the compelling Dombrovskis photograph of Rock Island Bend that touched the conscious mind of the country during the campaign to save Tasmania's Franklin River in the early 80's from being dammed. All of Steven Nowakowski's large format photography remains the work of film; to him there is nothing quite the same. Not only does the understanding of such a camera slow one down and force you to fall in tune with your surroundings, but just as importantly it is the detail, sharpness and vibrancy of the finished product that is something still unachievable by the digital camera.

Ava attempts suicide and finds herself in a mental hospital. Her therapy with her psychiatrist, Dr Bloodwood, is documented throughout and these clinical findings are interspersed with Ava’s recollections of the events which have led her to this terrible place in life. In hospital, Ava appears to discover much about herself and why she made the decisions which sent her to the brink of madness and homicidal dreams. Ava’s first relationship with the elusive ‘man in the moon’ leaves the reader guessing. Is he real or a figment of Ava’s vivid imaginings? The story of Ava, Wally and Raven, their daughter, is a familiar one in our society where people begin relationships for all of the wrong reasons and end up despising each other. The reader will be firstly puzzled, and then surprised, by the unusual twist of fate in the final chapter of the book.

Born and raised in Melbourne, Allison Veronica Garcia has a proud family background from Argentina, Spain and Italy. She intensely studied writing and editing with a focus on specialising in the crime/thriller genre since having a strong family history of direct relatives who worked in the police force and as special detectives in homicide, and in the army working on secret services. Allison felt naturally influenced to write a dark tale after listening to many of their stories of how they got the bad guy and the tedious process they endured to get there. Nothing North is her first debut novel with a supernatural twist. Allison is a passionate reader and a dedicated writer. She has been writing short stories and emotionally charged poems for more than sixteen years. She currently lives in Melbourne, Australia with her family and her beloved Dachshund, Fifi.

Human experience is indescribable. In the first play, Nurhalizah, a middle‐aged woman who has lost all her children, overcomes grief through music. In the second play, Cedric, a Mosaic Down Syndrome sufferer expresses the excruciating anguish of his humiliation through dance. In the final play, a man with a devoted wife displaces his pathological obsession for another woman through writing and painting. However, even art forms fail to describe such experiences. After all, human experience is indescribable and perhaps, inexpressible. Geraldine Song’s three plays form a mosaic as they assemble poignant scenes between deferent ‘special’ people confronting an uncaring society. In a shuttling between genres and stage techniques, a juxtaposition of musical and performative elements dramatically visualises the lead characters’ attempts to reassemble their memories, relationships, and foiled hopes, and to communicate these attempts through their art. The image of the mosaic – the title of the middle, or centre, piece – most

Just about all of us have a desire to be at the top in our job, sport or social circle. You’ve heard it before – if we want it hard enough, and follow certain techniques, we can reach the pinnacle of worldly success. The problem is, there can only be a handful of winners when it’s defined like that. Even if you achieve that sort of success, and become a wealthy winner – there must be losers. What if there were other pinnacles you could reach without standing on others? There is. You can be at the top in your relationships, happiness and quality of life and still be among friends! To get there, we have to go against our 21st Century instincts – try some ideas that aren’t always obvious or easy – to reach the top of life, not at the top of the pile. Interested? Read these thoughts!

What is an iddly widdly fiddly poo? How do you get rid of an iddly widdly fiddly poo? Who did do the iddly widdly fiddly poo?

Find the answers to all of these questions in this very smelly and amusing tale of the poo that tried to get away!

After many nights sketching, colouring, erasing, re‐sketching and editing I have created the rather silly story called 'The Iddly Widdly Fiddly Poo'.

Yes, it is about poo ‐ and then I added a rocket, a Splatterator and a cute little cat to bring it to life!

With this book I am also proud to be able to support the Royal Children's Hospital Melbourne through the Elise Foundation. I have donated 100% of my proceeds from a quantity of books that I hope will help to provide valuable funds for the hospital. I hope the book will also provide some laughs along the way!

A hitch-hiker rides a cattle-truck with a drunk, abandoning him in the dark. After a night of pain and delirium he wakes among people completely alien to him, speaking a language he doesn’t understand. Desperate to find his way back he is attacked and wounded, then rescued by those whom he fled: a woman who wakes in him a longing for what cannot be regained, an old man struggling to save his niece, a brother who is no brother fighting to recover his wife and child, an orphan betrayed and broken in an alien world. With these he embarks on a journey that astounds and horrifies him, and which precipitates him at last into the roots of our entanglement with alcohol and drugs. Set in 1980s Victoria and in southern Poland seven thousand years ago, Wayward Child chronicles the impact on people with a hunting and gathering economy of changes brought by people with an agricultural economy.

Halius is a Plainsward, a simple man tasked with a grave responsibility. Leaving his home behind in search of a cure to a disease that threatens to destroy his village, he soon learns that saving his people will be even harder than he feared. Zebala, a skilled Firemage, takes Halius under her wing—giving him no say in the matter. Through her he learns that his people have been plagued, not by disease, but by Gyanos Yostavro, a half-Demon warrior of such limitless power and savagery that he has subdued his entire homeland merely by existing in it. Yostavro is a far-off problem, as Halius and Zebala are thrust into a world intent to destroy them before they ever confront the self-proclaimed Lord of Fire. Facing dangers that the Plainsward had never dreamed existed, it is up to the pair to save the Plainswards—and the world— from burning destruction.

“This book is a cry from the far Southern hemisphere, from the city of Sydney, Australia, to the masses of people, calling to them: Let’s pause to reflect on the teachings of our religion. Are they exactly the same as the apostles and prophets have already communicated to us? Or is what happened to them what actually happened through the messenger’s companions, disciples and their followers, not only in Islam, but in Judaism and Christianity as well? We have to reconsider the teachings of our religions, purify them from the impurities, exaggeration and the preference of private interests over general interests: world altruism to the hereafter. Religion is a sense of integrity; it is a responsibility, and a heavy one. Whoever faces and shoulders the responsibility does not evade it through counterfeiting. If you are not capable of meeting its requirements, you must step down and hand the banner to those who deserve it and who are really fit to take it up. May God grant us guidance to success.” Prof. Moneer Sultan Ein Shams University Girls’ College, Egypt

But could Micky take Robyn’s place? When drug dealers enter Micky’s world uninvited someone was going to make them wish they hadn’t. When they kidnapped her son, someone was going to die.

People ask each other, “How much energy do you want to invest in that person?” I wonder how many of them know that the answer is a real one. We can literally “give ourselves away”. A lot of people feel “less than complete” and “missing something”. Most people tend to feel uncomfortable in some situations. It is possible to feel complete, calm and positive when there are no outside influences; all of the time. If you’re feeling “less than complete” or you are not completely relaced in every life situation, then you may require soul retrieval work. This booklet will guide you through the process of reclaiming soul parts that have been lost, left or stolen.

Dr Ron Farmer was for a time in the early seventies the most well-known psychologist in Australia. He rose to prominence as the spokesperson heralding the arrival of behaviour therapy and sex therapy, using a language devoid of theoretical jargon. At the peak of his career he suffered a catastrophic nervous breakdown which set him off on a search for an understanding of some of the great mysteries of life. Leaving behind the cloistered life of a university academic, Ron’s journey took him to Nimbin, Bali, the Himalayas and the ashrams of India, all the time seeking an answer to questions like, “Is there a higher purpose and antidote for irrational fear? If I strip away all of my beliefs, thoughts, feelings, physical sensations, personality and life history, who is it that remains to witness the nothingness? Is there an ‘I’ that is unchanging, deathless and impervious to fear?” These and many more are the guiding stars in this man’s sky which beckon him to dive everdeeper into the vast unknown of the Self. Rediscovering the True Self is an autobiographical saga which centres around the age-old quest for that inner sanctuary where calmness and stillness abide.

Apprentice Adults is a flippant, irreverent, quick moving read that reflects the teenage mood of the day. George Richards, a teenager himself in the fab fifties, addresses the universal causes of teenage angst – their identity crisis, sexual experimentation, drugs and alcohol, the suppressed shame of sexual assault. Today’s teen readers may be surprised to learn that the problems they face are so similar to those their oldies did in the fab fifties and sexational sixties. No mod cons back then though – no mobiles, no iPods or iPads, no social media – how did they communicate their problems to each other? By some sort of secret language? By gathering at the milk bar? By running away? And what about the characters? The scholarly nerd, the tradesmen-to-be, the office girls, all of whom strive to find an identity or their place in a grown-up society. Apprentice Adults is a good read for teens and used-to-be teens, and those who reckon today’s teens can handle it all in their strides, or whatever!
