Summary: Formed in California's East Bay in 1987 by 15-year-old Billie Joe Armstrong and Mike Dirnt (later joined by drummer Tre Cool), Green Day has gone on to become one of the world's most popular rock bands.

1 .Not me : memoirs of a German childhood / Joachim Fest ; translated from the German by Martin Chalmers.
Fest, Joachim C., 1926-2006
London : Atlantic Books, 2012.
Summary: Few others have determined our understanding of the Third Reich as Joachim Fest. Fierce and intransigent, German born Fest was a relentless interrogator of his nation's modern history. His analysis, The Face of the Third Reich, his biographies of Adolf Hitler and Albert Speer and his descriptions of the last days in the Fuehrer's bunker have all reached a worldwide audience of millions - but how did he, the contemporary historian born in 1926 - personally experience National Socialism, the Second World War and a defeated Germany? In this autobiography of his childhood and youth, Joachim Fest chronicles his own extraordinary life, providing an intimate picture of his immediate experiences of those dark years of conflict. Whether describing his Catholic home in a Berlin suburb, his father's early working ban, his own expulsion from school - or 'Aunt Dolly's' introductions to the operatic world, the precocious wisdoms of his elder brother, his readings during his military service or his 7-day flight in a wooden box from imprisonment by the Americans - these are the long-awaited personal reflections of a born observer.

2 .Muscles : the story of Ken Rosewall, Australia's little master of the courts / Ken Rosewall as told to Richard Naughton ; foreword by John Barrett.
Naughton, Richard
Barrett, John, 1931-
Richmond, Vic. : Slattery Media Group, 2012.
Summary: "Not only was Ken Rosewall one of the top six players of all time, he was at the forefront of men's tennis through the late 1950s until the advent of Open tennis in 1968. He was still at the top when the ATP was formed in 1972. Today's players owe a lot to the likes of Ken Rosewall." --John Newcombe, winner of seven Grand Slam singles titles and member of the International Tennis Hall of Fame. Richard Naughton's second tennis title follows Ken Rosewall's ascent to glory--from early competitions and his year of glory in 1953, when we was a member of the Australian LTAA touring team--to his emergence on the pro tennis scene and eight grand slam tournament victories. Recounted in part by Rosewall himself and extensively researched by Naughton, the book provides a fascinating snapshot of the worldwide tennis scene in the 1950s, 60s and 70s, and is accompanied by photographs from Rosewall's personal collection.

3 .Raymond Chandler: A Mysterious Something in the Light [hardback]
Williams, Tom
London, UK Aurum Press 2012.
Summary: To describe a book as Chandleresque is instantly to conjure a particular world. A world of violence; of mean streets trodden by lonely, hard-drinking private detectives; of shady bars inhabited by dangerous femme fatales. It's the world of Philip Marlowe.

1 .Jamie : king of the kitchen : the biography of the man who revolutionised the way Britain eats / Stafford Hildred and Tim Ewbank.
Hildred, Stafford
Ewbank, Tim
London : John Blake, 2012.
Summary: Jamie Oliver is Britain's best-loved chef. His matey charm and down-to-earth approach to cooking - from The Naked Chef to 30-Minute Meals - have made him a household favourite the length and breadth of the country. Jamie rose from humble pastry chef to television superstar by catching the eye of producers during a documentary about the River Cafe, where he was working at the time. His on-screen charisma meant that he featured heavily in the final programme, the offers came flooding in ...and so The Naked Chef was born. The programme was a huge success, offering an initmate and fresh approach to cooking on TV. Jamie's passion shone through and a whole generation of young people were captivated by his enthusiasm. Cooking was cool! His television series and books gave Jamie fame and fortune the world over, but he always wanted to do something positive with his success. Through his Fifteen charity restaurants and campaigns to revolutionise school dinners and get Britain cooking again, Jamie had proved himself to be more than simply a celebrity chef. His desire to bring about radical change has seen him meet with top politicans and raise millions of pounds for good causes. But deep down it's all about the cooking - after the launch of his spectacularly successful 30-Minute Meals TV series and two record-breaking books n 2010 and 2011 - Jamie's 30-Minute Meals and Jamie's Great Britain, he has showed that he's still the nation's favourite chef.

1 .The abode of love : a memoir / Kate Barlow.
Barlow, Kate
Sydney : Bantam, 2006.
Summary: When Kate Barlow left post-war London with her mother and two sisters to live with her fierce grandmother in a vast, rambling gothic mansion in the country, she entered a strange and mysterious world where time seemed to have stopped still in the 1900s - and nothing was quite as it seemed. Having lived in a procession of boarding schools, six-year- old 'Kitty' revelled in the sudden freedom of a giant outdoor playground, the endless corners to explore inside the old house, and the company of the eccentric and feisty old women dressed in fashions she had only ever seen in history books. Protected by a wall of secrecy and their isolation from the outside world, it would be years before she and her sisters learned the truth: that what their formidable grandmother resided over was the remains of a bizarre religious cult founded by her grandfather which gained worldwide notoriety when he claimed to be the embodiment of the Holy Ghost. From the pulpit of the Ark of the Covenant, a church built by his adoring followers, he proclaimed that only his followers would be saved from Armageddon. Having taken her grandmother as one of the first of many 'spiritual brides' in spite of having a first wife still living within the community, this charismatic leader was a defrocked clergyman. As illegitimate children named Glory, Power and Life, Kate's mother and two uncles were shunned by the outside community and banned from attending school, a stigma that carried over to Kate and her sisters as they grew up. Interweaving the moving story of a young woman's coming of age with the fascinating tale of a man who managed to convince highly intelligent people, especially prominent women, to give up their lives and careers in his name, "The Abode of Love" is proof that truth is indeed stranger than fiction.

1 .The abode of love : a memoir / Kate Barlow.
Barlow, Kate
Sydney : Bantam, 2006.
Summary: When Kate Barlow left post-war London with her mother and two sisters to live with her fierce grandmother in a vast, rambling gothic mansion in the country, she entered a strange and mysterious world where time seemed to have stopped still in the 1900s - and nothing was quite as it seemed. Having lived in a procession of boarding schools, six-year- old 'Kitty' revelled in the sudden freedom of a giant outdoor playground, the endless corners to explore inside the old house, and the company of the eccentric and feisty old women dressed in fashions she had only ever seen in history books. Protected by a wall of secrecy and their isolation from the outside world, it would be years before she and her sisters learned the truth: that what their formidable grandmother resided over was the remains of a bizarre religious cult founded by her grandfather which gained worldwide notoriety when he claimed to be the embodiment of the Holy Ghost. From the pulpit of the Ark of the Covenant, a church built by his adoring followers, he proclaimed that only his followers would be saved from Armageddon. Having taken her grandmother as one of the first of many 'spiritual brides' in spite of having a first wife still living within the community, this charismatic leader was a defrocked clergyman. As illegitimate children named Glory, Power and Life, Kate's mother and two uncles were shunned by the outside community and banned from attending school, a stigma that carried over to Kate and her sisters as they grew up. Interweaving the moving story of a young woman's coming of age with the fascinating tale of a man who managed to convince highly intelligent people, especially prominent women, to give up their lives and careers in his name, "The Abode of Love" is proof that truth is indeed stranger than fiction.
