Gallipoli 1915
Author: Tim Travers
ISBN: 9780752450483
Why was the Allied naval assault of February/March 1915 so unsuccessful? Did the Ottoman Turks have knowledge of the Allied landings of 25 April 1915? And did Sir Ian Hamilton, the overall commander of the Allied forces at Gallipoli, really make a mistake in his intervention at Suvla? These questions and the key issue of why the Ottoman Turks won the 1915 Gallipoli campaign, or why the Allies lost it, have never been satisfactorily answered. This new history of the Gallipoli campaign aims to answer them, while also telling the story of what actually happened through the voices of British, Australian and Turkish soldiers.

Fromelles 1916
Author: Paul Cobb
ISBN: 9780752456010
At Fromelles in July 1916 two divisions - one British and one Australian - within a few weeks of arriving in France - went into action for the first time. Their task was to prevent the Germans from moving troops to the Somme where a major British offensive was in progress but the attack on 19/20 July was a disaster with nearly 7,000 casualties in a few hours. This account explores this battle which for many epitomises the futility of the Great War. In those few hours many heroic deeds were done but the battle caused a souring of Anglo- Australian relationships and truly was a baptism of fire for these British and Australian troops. This is their history.

Geek Girls Unite!
Author: Leslie Simon
ISBN: 9780062002730
In recent years, male geeks have taken the world by storm: They've become unexpected sex symbols. (Seth Rogen and Michael Cera) They've penned pieces of literary brilliance. (Rest in peace, David Foster Wallace.) They've even reinvented the art of modern cinema. (Kudos, Coen brothers!) But what about their female counterparts? After all, fangirls are just like fanboys -- they put on their imperial stormtrooper Lycra pants one leg at a time. GIRL GEEKS UNITE is a call to arms for every girl who has ever wondered where her rebel sisters have gone. It's also a sassy, savvy celebration of all the female misfits who are busy bucking convention and making the world a smarter, better, and, yes, cooler place. Each chapter is dedicated to a cross-section of the geek elite -- fangirls, indie-rock chicks, bookworms, craft mavens, funny girls, film buffs, and others -- and looks at groundbreaking women, geek hall-of-famers, ultimate love matches, and most likely frenemies. Along with fun quizzes, illustrations, and trivia boxes, each group also gets tailored recommendations for playlists, books, movies, and websites. Fun, funny, and ultimately empowering, this is the perfect book for any woman, from teenager to grandmother, who's ever felt like she's on the outside looking in.

Life Without Limits
Author: Nick Vujicic
ISBN: 9781742375625
The life story of the amazingly gutsy Nick Vujicic, who despite being born without arms or legs has an unbelievably infectious zest for life and now travels the world as highly successful motivational speaker. LIFE WITHOUT LIMITS is the story of gutsy Nick Vujicic, an amazing 28-year-old Aussie born without arms or legs who is now an internationally successful inspirational speaker. Packed full of wisdom, testimonials of his faith and laugh-out-loud humour, Nick tells of life in his 'Chesty Bond' body, his visit to Africa at the age of 20 where he gave away $20,000 of his life savings to the poor, and raised another $20,000 for them on the side, and how he learned to surf, skateboard, dive and more. Noting that 'perfection isn't always perfect' and that 'brokenness can be a good thing', Nick shows how he learned to accept what he could not control and focus instead on what he could. He encourages everyone to find their life's purpose and, whatever their obstacles, go for it. He's already appeared in an acclaimed short film doing his own stunts, and his zest for life is unbelievably infectious.
