1 .White beech : the rainforest years / Germaine Greer.
Greer, Germaine, 1939-
London : Bloomsbury, 2014, c2013.
Summary: For years I had wandered Australia with an aching heart. Everywhere I had ever travelled across the vast expanse of the fabulous country where I was born I had seen devastation, denuded hills, eroded slopes, weeds from all over the world, feral animals, open-cut mines as big as cities, salt rivers, salt earth, abandoned townships, whole beaches made of beer cans... One bright day in December 2001, sixty-two-year-old Germaine Greer found herself confronted by an irresistible challenge in the shape of sixty hectares of dairy farm, one of many in south-east Queensland that, after a century of logging, clearing and downright devastation, had been abandoned to their fate. She didn't think for a minute that by restoring the land she was saving the world. She was in search of heart?s ease. Beyond the acres of exotic pasture grass and soft weed and the impenetrable curtains of tangled Lantana canes there were Macadamias dangling their strings of unripe nuts, and Black Beans with red and yellow pea flowers growing on their branches ... and the few remaining White Beeches, stupendous trees up to forty metres in height, logged out within forty years of the arrival of the first white settlers. To have turned down even a faint chance of bringing them back to their old haunts would have been to succumb to despair. Once the process of rehabilitation had begun, the chance proved to be a dead certainty. When the first replanting shot up to make a forest and rare caterpillars turned up to feed on the leaves of the new young trees, she knew beyond doubt that at least here biodepletion could be reversed. Greer describes herself as an old dog who succeeded in learning a load of new tricks, inspired and rejuvenated by her passionate love of Australia and of Earth, most exuberant of small planets.

1 .Eyes of silence : a life lost and found / Doug Spahn.
Spahn, Doug, author
Spahn, Doug
Neutral Bay, NSW : Equip, 2006.
Summary: Eyes of Silence is a love story. A story of deep and profound love that endures the tragedies and imperfections of our physical existence. Written with simplicity and clarity, it's a story that tries to make sense of a bewildering episode in the lives of a couple that can only be described as an emotional maelstrom. The outcome is a startling one: a momentary physical insensibility is overcome by emotional and spiritual courage. This story is an expression of love where the reader is taken on a journey of fear, uncertainty and hope. "This is one of the most moving accounts I have read of a person struggling to come to terms with terrible illness of a loved one. In this account Doug has opened his heart describing his distress and his feelings throughout what was for him and his family a terrible ordeal. Doug's account however, also has a message of hope, in that he has developed a determination to do all he can personally to help other people in a similar situation".

1 .The widow / Nola Duncan & Libby Harkness.
Duncan, Nola
Harkness, Libby
North Sydney, N.S.W. : Random House Australia, 2013.
Summary: Her husband took a terrible secret to his grave. The day Nola Duncan married the charismatic scientist Dr Michael Westfield in 1981 was the happiest day of her life. Michael, a senior academic, was Nola's perfect man - a good father; a wonderful host, cook and raconteur; a devoted husband and caring lover; a good friend and a committed Christian. Throughout their thirty-year marriage, Michael, a deeply romantic man, wrote Nola copious love notes, letters and poems. So when he died suddenly of a cardiac arrest in 2010, her grief was profound. The funeral service overflowed with people who loved and admired him; the eulogies were effusive. Heartbroken, Nola picked her way through early widowhood and on the first anniversary of his death she buried his ashes in a plot with room for hers. Then she set about clearing out his things. In a box marked research papers Nola found something that would shatter her life; 741 love letters between Michael and his lover, evidence of his passionate six-year affair with one of his doctoral students, a young married woman 23 years his junior. Nola's emotional pain and distress as she read the letters, many of them erotic and sexually explicit, was compounded on discovering one of the most meaningful poems he had written for her, he had also given his lover. The lovers believed their affair was the Great Love and their soul marriage God-sanctioned.

3 .Breaking news : sex, lies & the Murdoch succession / Paul Barry.
Barry, Paul
Crows Nest, N.S.W. : Allen & Unwin, 2013.
Summary: This is a book about the twilight of an empire. A media empire unique in the history of the English-language as it spreads its international dominance into television, film and newspapers, books and the electronic media. Ultimately all power in this mighty empire is in the hands of the man who started it - Rupert Murdoch.
Summary: At the age of 82, Rupert Murdoch is divorcing his third wife Wendi Deng and gearing up for the toughest challenge of his life: to hand his empire on to his children. But is this the end of the Murdoch dynasty? Lachlan doesn't want to succeed him. James is in disgrace. And Elisabeth is not a serious contender. His grip on the group has also been weakened by scandal. His British tabloids have been caught hacking phones and bribing officials on an industrial scale. At least twenty journalists will soon face trial for hacking and corruption and could be jailed. But Rupert thrives on crisis. He has recently split News Corp in two, doubled his fortune to 9 billion dollars US, and is bouncing around like a man in his prime. So can he win this one last battle and keep it all in the family?
