The Roy Strong Diaries - 1967-1987
"For over three decades Roy Strong has teased, tantalised, amused and sometimes enraged the British public, firstly in his capacity as the Director of two great cultural institutions, the National Portrait Gallery and Victoria and Albert Museum, and more recently as a broadcaster, writer, garden expert and historian. Provocative on the issues of running a cash-starved museum, above all the diaries are a wonderfully entertaining chronicle of an age and some of its most memorable celebrities. "Price: AU$12.00

The Privilege of Youth
"From the bestselling author of A Boy Named It comes the inspirational missing chapter in a story of triumph and hope. Being a teenager can be a traumatic time for anyone. But when you're also being pushed between a series of foster homes, families and schools, it can be nothing short of bewildering.RFor Dave Pelzer, standing on the threshold of adulthood in 1970s America, his adolescence formed a crucial bridge between the shocking abuse of his childhood and the worrying world of responsibility ahead. In The Privilege of Youth, he tells the story of those years with his unique insight and sensitivity. Whilst recounting the relentless physical and emotional attacks of the high-school bullies, he also recalls the joy of exploring a new neighbourhood and encountering true friendship for the first time. Through his adventures with his new 'brothers' and their discovery of cars, girls and themselves, Pelzer introduces a fascinating cast of characters who, each in different ways, helped shape an extraordinary life and prepared him for fresh trials to come."

The Priest and the King: An Eyewitness Account of the Iranian Revolution
"The author, a former British diplomat, was living in Tehran during the build-up to the Iranian Revolution and kept a day-to-day account of the events he witnessed, as the priest and the king - the Ayatollah Khomeini and the Shah - squared up to each other. The author's faithfully recorded responses - of hope, fear, confusion, scepticism and ultimately despair - reflect with substantial accuracy the spirit in Iran as the country swung from being a docile, Western-orientated ally to an unpredictable, brooding, revolutionary state. Harney had access to all elements of Iran's political elite, including the Shah, and was able to capture the atmsophere of Iran in revolution. This diary is, therefore, an important document: a day-to-day account kept by an outsider who was intimately familiar with Iran, a crucial contribution to our historical understanding of events."

The Paranormal World of Paul McKenna
"Is it real because you believe it, or do you believe it because it's real? Paul McKenna, television's hypnotic genius, takes us on an extraordinary tour of the paranormal. He investigates real life X Files - cases of UFOs, Extraterrestrials, Ghosts, Psychokinesis, Telepathy, Psychic Detectives and Superhumans - and redraws the boundaries of what is scientifically 'impossible.'. The phenomena explored in this book will challenge the way you think. But then, most scientific achievements also defied the conventional wisdom of their time. After all, paranormal phenomena are simply those things that science cannot explain - yet!"

The Liar's Club: A Memoir
"The Texas refinery town of Leechfield, perched on the swampy rim of the Gulf, is famous for mosquitoes and the manufacture of Agent Orange - a place where the only bookstores are religious ones and the restaurants serve only fried food. A handful of the Leechfield oil workers gather regularly at the American Legion Bar to drink salted beer and spin long, improbable tales. They're the Liars' Club. And to the girl whose father is the club's undisputed champion mythmaker, they exude a fatal glamour - one that lifts her from ordinary life. But there are other lies. Darker, more hidden. Her mother's unimaginable past threatens the family's very sanity. Mary Karr looks back through younger eyes to exorcise those demons: a mad, puritanical grandmother; a vast inheritance squandered in one year flat; endless emptied bottles; and the darknesses inflicted on an eight-year-old girl. This voice explodes with antic, wit, stripped of self-pity. Miraculously, it makes a journey into joy. Here is a ""terrific family of liars redeemed by a slow unearthing of truth."""Price: AU$12.00
