Book excerpt: This is the story of an extraordinary period in British criminal history, brought to life through unique surviving records held by the UK National Archives. For over two hundred years, tens of thousands of convicts were sentenced to be 'banished beyond the seas', mostly to Australia and to destinations which became the stuff of legend - Botany Bay, Van Diemen's Land, Norfolk Island. This book follows their epic voyages across the world's oceans, recapturing the perils and unexpected pleasures of life at sea in fresh and fascinating detail.

Book excerpt: The Ten Pound Poms is a story about more than just the small number of individuals portrayed in this book. During 1945 to 1973 over one million Britons left hte UK to start a new life on the other side of the world. Leaving family and friends behind, especially elderly parents was a major concern, knowing in all probability they may never see them again. In post-war Britain conditions were tough, and most wanted a chance to rebuild their lives away from the atrocities of war. Australia provided that opportunity. It offered hope and a new life to anyone who wanted it - a chance to escape. Ten pounds was a pittance to pay to discover if the grass really was greener on the other side. This book tells the candid story of three young brothers with nothing to lose, who in their naivety, saw the Australian Assisted Passage Scehem as a chance to see the world and an opportunity for an incredible two-year adventure. For their parents however, it brought an emptiness from which they would never recover. They left England in 1964 and the countless life experiences they endured strengthened their resolve immeasurably and the young woman who accompanied John back to the UK was an absolute joy. This book demonstrates succinctly the undeniable role that destiny can play in shaping people's lives. The Ten Pound Poms may be relics from a bygone era, but hopefully their spirit of optimism, adventure and endeavour remain just as relevant in today's society as they were all those years ago.

Book excerpt: First published in 1943, this autobiography is also a superb portrait of America's Depression years, by the folk singer, activist, and man who saw it all. Woody Guthrie was born in Oklahoma and traveled this whole country over—not by jet or motorcycle, but by boxcar, thumb, and foot. During the journey of discovery that was his life, he composed and sang words and music that have become a national heritage. His songs, however, are but part of his legacy. Behind him Woody Guthrie left a remarkable autobiography that vividly brings to life both his vibrant personality and a vision of America we cannot afford to let die. “Even readers who never heard Woody or his songs will understand the current esteem in which he’s held after reading just a few pages… Always shockingly immediate and real, as if Woody were telling it out loud… A book to make novelists and sociologists jealous.” —The Nation

Book excerpt: Ocean Bound Women is an intriguing first-hand narrative of circumnavigating the globe in the 1880s. Based on family documents stored in a seaman's chest, this book provides a scholarly account of the history of the Swedish sailing-ship Atlantic (1876-1911) and her crew.Part of the book is based upon a diary written by a Scandinavian woman, which stands as the uniting text for the years 1885-1887, connecting the reader to all events in the chronicle. Other sources consist of manuscripts, documents and accounts collected from family descendants along with oral traditions and personal memories—all hitherto unpublished.This is a touching life story of two motherless sisters who took on a ship in their teens: a book about life on the oceans and meeting with people of many different nations.

Book excerpt: WANTED FOR KIDNAPPING: a beautiful blonde with a penchant for trouble. May be armed (with bad intentions) and dangerously seductive… Kerry Sullivan is running out of time—and patience. With her brother wrongfully accused of embezzling millions, she can’t face one more humiliating hang up from the man she’s begging for help. Rafael Dawson may be one of the top electronic security experts in the country—and the only man who can prove her brother’s innocence—but his phone manners are appalling. Damn Yankee. Too bad kidnapping the man isn’t an option. Or is it? There’s nothing Kerry wouldn’t do for her brother. There are lots of things she longs to do to Rafe Dawson when he’s lying tied up and naked in Kerry’s secret hideaway. Rafe is certainly something to look at, but her brother’s life is riding on her pulling off the impossible: getting this man who’s always in control to lose it. But when the tables are turned, Kerry finds herself at Rafe’s mercy. And the only way to get her way is to let him have his way—with her… MATURE AUDIENCE
