This book takes the raw elements - the ocean, the sky, the billabongs, the Outback - and shows how relentless they can be.

Book excerpt: Notorious, numerous and varied, serial murderers from Australia have an eclectic record of crimes, methods and trademarks. Scrutinizing these murderers at length, this book aims to identify characteristics exclusive to Australian serial killers, connecting the crimes with the continent's geography, culture and social structure. Featured are murderers like the "Granny Killer" John Wayne Glover, William "The Sydney Mutilator" McDonald and "Backpacker Killer" Ivan Milat. Also covered are well-known events like the Snowtown Murders and killer couples like David and Catherine Birnie. Unique in the true crime genre, this book studies fictional Australian murderer Mick Taylor to examine how pop culture portrayals develop the distinct psychology of killers from "down under."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this sequel to the wildly successful Hey Ranger: True Tales of Humor and Misadventure from America's National Parks, former ranger Jim Burnett casts his net globally in search of the most outrageous and humorous stories of man in his eternal quest to experience the natural world. Burnett tells of campers being belted by mysterious objects falling from the sky, like potatoes and ice cream; wildlife photos that went awry, including a ground squirrel that outwits a photographer; dumb crooks in parks, such as the drunk driver who mistakenly knocked on a judge's door to report an accident; and drivers who went over the hill and into the woods instead of to Grandma's house. Burnett also assembles contenders for the strangest questions ever asked of a park ranger, lessons on how not to pick a campsite, life lessons you can learn from a canoe trip, as well as some classic bear stories. As always, Burnett's stories are meant to inform as well as entertain, and serve as cautionary tales on how not to become "a victim of your vacation." Told in Burnett's classic, conversational style, Hey Ranger 2 will not disappoint.

Book excerpt: How to make buckets of dosh, screw things up, lose the lot, shake with fear, talk your way out of it, live under a false name, behave appallingly, fall in and out of love - often with the wrong people, feel joy, shame, terror, misery, disbelief, skirt death a few times, have an endless stream of dreadful hangovers - and still be at it when I should be tucked up in bed with a nice warm drink. If the idea of that little lot interests you, here's a few snippets from my story.* Three stabbings and two near funerals: Believe it or not, I have been stabbed or partially stabbed three times. And I damn nearly lost my life twice after two of them.* Hiding from Hitler: In 1940, I trembled with fear in a bomb shelter. Was Hitler going to conquer Britain? It looked like it. Being scared like that is something hardly anyone nowadays can imagine, but I remember it vividly.* Millions made and millions lost: I never kept the millions I should have, though I did make two or three. Then through my own stupidity, lost almost all of it. Find out how to avoid my mistakes!* Trips to Ogilvy's Chateau Touffou ... How my wife took the great man for a ride ..."Have you any idea what the roof cost?" ... "I hate rabbit" ...... the lost owl ...Helena Rubinstein's bed, "That's the local mayor; he hates me." And other Ogilvy stories* She saw Daddy ***ing Granny... It's absolutely true, and it refers to my mother seeing my father doing something no father should do with his mother-in-law.* Why did she forgive him...? Nowadays, people get divorced for infinitely less than what my father did to my mother, yet she forgave him, because of what had happened to her as a child.* Even after he gave her the ****? Surely no marriage could survive what my father did to my mother. But they stayed together. What made their extraordinary marriage survive?* Knee deep in shit with David: Ever visited a sewage plant? They don't often run conducted tours, but I made an impromptu entrance when young with one of my cousins. I can almost smell the pungent results 70 years later.* My most stupid money mistake: I never would have had to work again if I'd taken the advice of my accountant back in 1967. But I didn't, so I had to struggle for decades afterwards. Let me tell you why I think this was a blessing. Confused? You May Be. But not as much as me.This book is a mongrel. That's because half is about my private life, which has been slightly unorthodox. I hope you find it entertaining. The other half is about my business life. Read that not just for entertainment, but for profit. By that I mean I will offer you an awful lot of advice, mainly based on an awful lot of mistakes and very little success.It could save you a lot of misery and quite possibly make you a great deal of money. You just have to avoid all the stupid things and copy the very few intelligent ones I did. I hope you'll find it entertaining.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I can't help it if I'm a boring conservative dag, but I love Christmas, always have and hopefully always will. Whatever brand of faith you fly under, even if you proclaim you don't have one, Christmas is a time of generosity, good citizenship and decency. It's the holiday where shopping centres become a sea of dazed shoppers bearing checklists as long as your arm, lunch is a neverending buffet of prawns and ham and your electricity bill is doubly struck by having to run the fan all day and keep those decorative lights blinking through the night. William McInnes, bestselling author of FATHERHOOD, WORSE THINGS HAPPEN AT SEA, and A MAN'S GOT TO HAVE A HOBBY tackles the silly season in a way only he can - telling stories brimming with good humour and nostalgia, to remind us what Christmas is all about: family.
