Welcome to the selected short stories from one of Australia''s newest authors in adventure fiction, written for your indulgence... This collection will first take you on a bizarre global jaunt from England to Hong Kong, Japan and Indonesia during the Great Oil Escapade. Then across the sea, to the Amazon jungles within a tale of exploration and deification. We share in the experience of four scientists researching in the farthest cold of the planet to leap from Antarctica to Jupiter and back, raising serious questions in their minds. We chase James Banock, a purloiner of British munitions across Scotland to Norway then along a voyage across the North Sea, where action becomes life threatening as Banock''s ship explodes and sinks. To conclude the excitement and thrills, we find the solitude of memory filled by photographs and tales, which describes the author''s car-trip around Australia in 1967 and a youth filled with freedom and the future uncertain. Written for readers to enjoy, without EXPECTATIONS..."A collection of adventure tales that spring from story to story without time to catch a breath...a thrill and a laugh...great collection by a talented author...thoroughly enjoyed..." William, IndieBooks reviewer.

Three emerging painters exploring the possibilities of colorTrue Colours brings together the work of three emerging artists: Helen Beard (born 1971), Sadie Laska (born 1974) and Boo Saville (born 1980). Despite using paint in very different ways, the artists all share an interest in exploring the possibilities of color. Beard uses a vivid rainbow palette to create interlocking arrangements of bright primary color, which combine to describe explicit sexual encounters. Laska creates dreamlike compositions using paint and collage, evoking a rebellious post-pop aesthetic. Saville applies over 40 layers of paint to produce extraordinary large-scale abstracts, made up of flawlessly gradating shades. This fully illustrated book is available with three different cover designs and includes interviews with the artists by Polly Borland, Rachel Howard and Lizzi Bougatsos, plus essays by Michael Bracewell, Freire Barnes and Amie Corry, exploring the artists' work within the broader context of the philosophy of color.
