Bøker av Paul Farrell

This book portrays the sacrifice of those who served in the First World War from 1914-1918. A story that honours those who forfeited everything for their king and country, My Son the Soldier is aimed at young adults and older and aims for rigorous historical accuracy. This book includes images which are integral in setting the scene, and which will captivate the attention of the reader. This book is written as if from the perspective of those captured in the pictures and seeks to understand their attempts to come to terms with what they have witnessed and endured. This book asks profound and challenging questions of the reader and, more importantly, seeks to draw out the human side, and the human cost, of the First World War. Drawing on historical scholarship, while approaching these traumatic events from a deeply human perspective, this book will both fascinate and inspire the reader.

Gladys Berejiklian was one of Australia's most popular premiers. Forging a path for New South Wales through the difficult early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, she seemed unstoppable. But it all came crashing down. In one of the most staggering falls from grace in Australian political history, Berejiklian found herself embroiled in a major corruption inquiry that had enveloped the man with whom she was in a secret relationship. That same inquiry slowly expanded to focus on the conduct of Berejiklian herself. Journalist Paul Farrell takes us behind the scenes of the corruption investigation that brought down a NSW premier. He gives us a bird' s-eye account of how a case was built against her, and the relationship that ended her political reign. He also reveals how Berejiklian's popularity was shored up by powerful allies in media and political circles, and the tactics deployed by her office to silence critics. At the centre of all this is the national importance of trust, honesty and integrity, and how much Australians are willing to tolerate when it comes to the behaviour of their leaders.

A beautifully illustrated field guide to weeds around the world, and why we should love them.

Three brother encounter a soul imprisoned in stone by the witch who lives in the woods. If they can defeat the witch and her protectors, the stone will become human again.

Standard numerical methods are of little use in solving problems involving boundary layers. This volume presents an essentially new numerical technique that gives precise results in the boundary layer regions for the problems discussed. It shows that this technique can be adapted in a natural way to a real flow problem and can also be used to construct benchmark solutions for comparison with solutions found using other numerical techniques. Written at the advanced undergraduate and research level, this book provides readers with an understanding of the underlying principles and the essential components needed to construct numerical methods for boundary layer problems.

A gorgeously detailed guide to the evolution, design, and role of tugboats, from the earliest days of steam to today's most advanced ocean-going workboats.
