William Morrow / HarperCollins, USA, 2013. Softcover. Very Good Condition. Film Tie-in From 1999 to 2009, U.S. Navy SEAL Chris Kyle recorded the most career sniper kills in United States military history. His fellow American warriors, whom he protected with deadly precision from rooftops and stealth positions during the Iraq War, called him "The Legend"; meanwhile, the enemy feared him so much they named him al-Shaitan ("the devil") and placed a bounty on his head. Kyle, who was tragically killed in 2013, writes honestly about the pain of war-including the deaths of two close SEAL teammates-and in moving first-person passages throughout, his wife, Taya, speaks openly about the strains of war on their family, as well as on Chris. Gripping and unforgettable, Kyle's masterful account of his extraordinary battlefield experiences ranks as one of the great war memoirs of all time. 379 pages. Item Type: Film Tie-in. Illustrated with black and white photographs. Quantity…

Branksome Books, USA, 2013. Trade Paperback. Very Good Condition. In the spring of 1943, Audrey Watson, a spirited young woman from Churchill's spy agency, set out from London on a journey that would change her life. Her destination was Chungking, a squalid but strangely romantic city on the Yangtze River and the wartime capital of China. At a tea party given by Madame Chiang Kai-shek, she met Max Oxford, an intelligence officer in the Royal Air Force, who had escaped from Hong Kong after it fell to the Japanese. In the mountains of southwest China, Max and Audrey began a lifelong love that would sustain them through good times and bad - through war, separation, loss, and Audrey's search for identity as a colonial wife in postwar Asia. 259 pages.

Hardie Grant, Australia, 2020. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good Condition/Very Good. Malcolm Turnbull, Australias 29th Prime Minister, tells the remarkable story of his life in this lively political page-turner. When Malcolm Turnbull took over the nations top job there was a sense of excitement in Australia. Sky-high opinion polls followed as the political outsider with a successful business, legal and media career took charge. The infighting that dogged politics for the best part of a decade looked to be over. But a right-wing insurgency brutally cut down Turnbulls time in office after three years, leaving many Australians asking, Why? Exceptionally candid and compelling, A Bigger Picture is the definitive narrative of Malcolm Turnbulls prime ministership. He describes how he legalised same-sex marriage, established Snowy Hydro 2.0, stood up to Donald Trump, rebooted Australias defence industry and many more achievements remarkable in their…

Finch Publishing, Sydney, 2008. Softcover. Near Fine Condition. An extraordinary depiction by an 18-year-old woman of her descent into the tortured existence of anorexia and her arduous and remarkable recovery from it.My name is Lucy. I am in recovery from anorexia nervosa and major depression, each of which almost killed me.' So begins this extraordinary depiction by an 18-year-old woman of her descent into the tortured existence of anorexia and her arduous and remarkable recovery from it. Anorexia nervosa is the most fatal of all psychiatric illnesses, and over 90 per cent of eating disorder victims are young women. While anorexia is often portrayed in the media as a phase that some young girls obsessed by their appearance go through, the realities of the illness prove that nothing could be further from the truth. As Lucy states in her powerful depiction: 'this isn't about weight, or a diet or a figure. Somewhere along the line I've come to equate fat with failure and…

Chatto & Windus, London, 1968. Second Impression. Hardcover. Good Condition/Good. A Cab at the Door, originally published in 1968, recalls his childhood in turn-of-the-century and World War I London with the urbane subtlety and wry humor that have marked his other works. For the wild and eccentric Pritchett family, life is a series of cabs waiting at the door to transport them to a succession of ten-bob-a-week lodgings, in their flight from creditors and the financial disasters of their father. It also captures the texture and color of the working class side of Edwardian England. Midnight Oil (which Wilfrid Sheed called a 'little Rolls Royce of a book' when it came out in 1972) opens in 1921: with L20 in his pocket, Pritchett arrives in Paris to commence a literary career. Gradually, his creative sensibilities emerge as he travels as a reporter to Ireland, Spain, and America. Midnight Oil provides an intimate and precise record of a writer's discovery of himself and his art. 238…

Picking up where Tender at the Bone leaves off, Comfort Me with Apples recounts Reichls transformation from chef to food writer, a process that led her through restaurants from Bangkok to Paris to Los Angeles and brought lessons in life, love, and food. It is an apprenticeship by turns delightful and daunting, one told in the most winning and engaging of voices. Reichls anecdotes from a summer lunch with M.F.K. Fisher, a mad dash through the produce market with Wolfgang Puck, and a garlic feast with Alice Waters are priceless. She is unafraid even eager to poke holes in the pretensions of food critics, making each meal a hilarious and instructive occasion for novices…

A passion that for several decades he has brought to the world through his research, his writings, his broadcasting and above all through his life and the way he lives it.One of the first and strongest influences on David Suzuki was the racism he encountered when he and his family were detained in an internment camp in Canada during World War II. His early experiences as an outsider informed his understanding and empathy with minority groups, and particularly with first nation and indigenous people around the world.As David Suzuki details his teenage years in Canada, his college and post-graduate experiences in the US and his career as a geneticist, we trace his developing interest in the environment and its myriad constituent parts. David's environmental message became synonymous with the long-running TV series The Nature of Things, which he…

Mainstream Publishing, Great Britain, 2011. Softcover. Good Condition. Jon Krakauer's international bestseller, Into Thin Air, claimed by many as the best in its genre, left the world reeling in astonishment at the worst disaster to beset climbers on the world's highest mountain: Everest. His book sold in excess of four million copies in the US alone. The IMAX film, Everest, which grossed more than $100 million in the first 24 months, covered aspects of the 10 May disaster, becoming the highest grossing non-fiction film up to that time. Several other books were published and films were made. But was the truth told? A Day to Die For reveals for the first time the true facts that led to the 1996 tragedy. As a first hand witness, Graham Ratcliffe spent the night of 10 May on Everest's South Col, at 26,000 ft, sheltering from the deadly storm that would claim eight lives. This is Graham's incredible story of high adventure and of a very moving personal journey; his quest for the truth…

HarperPerennial, Australia, 2009. Softcover. Good Condition. An extraordinary story of courage, forgiveness and reconciliation.Sabina Wolanski was just 12 years old when her home town in Poland was invaded by Nazis. In her diary, along with innocent adolescent longings, she recorded what happened next: the humiliations and terrors, the murder of her beloved family and the startling story of her own survival. Leaving Europe after the war, Sabina forged a new life in Australia, juggling a thriving design business, her family, and an unorthodox love life. But as time wore on, she began asking herself why had she survived when so many died? And what kind of justice fitted such crimes? In May 2005, when Germany opened its controversial Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe, in Berlin, Sabina was chosen to speak as the voice of the six million dead. In her speech she noted that although the Holocaust had taken everything she valued, it had also taught her that hatred and discrimination are…
