Rosas Farm
Rosa Mitchell
When Italian-born Melbourne chef Rosa Mitchell and her husband Colin bought their farm in central Victoria in the late 1980s, they acquired eight hectares of cleared land running up a volcanic hill, a few fruit trees and a dilapidated, one-room milking shed. Within weeks theyd planted grapevines, later adding Italian varietals, and soon had fruit and olive trees thriving on the property. The farm, which has expanded over the years, has always been a special haven for Rosa and her family, a place for good food and wine, and celebratory meals. In this book she shares more recipes for her favourite Italian dishes which, like those in the popular My Cousin Rosa, are simple, traditional, lovingly prepared and utterly authentic.

Rob Pegley
Man vs Life is a humorous snapshot of the typical mans life: overweight, married with children, bills to pay, on the verge of mid-life crisis. In early life, our predicted career choices were bold, physical and involved travel and conflict: everything we avoid in our careers now. How did it come to this? A sedentary job, looking at reports and spreadsheets, asking yourself why you are slogging away in a job you dont enjoy to buy things you dont need to impress people you dont like? Referencing life through middle-management jargon such as SWOT analysis, 360-degree feedback and direct lines of reportingand made up entirely of graphs, pie charts, flow charts, Venn diagrams, bullet points and tablesRob observes issues such as: the criteria you apply when considering the correct strategic fit in any spousal mergers $ value of Christmas presents received vs age the frequency of masturbation vs age ( just a straight horizontal line )
Australian Mongrel
David Darcy
Australian Mongrel is a photographic and narrative exploration of Australias relationship with this beloved icon. Renowned dog photographer David Darcy explores the lives of a diverse range of dogs from the land down under, from working dogs to suburban canines; Aboriginal camp dogs to the ordinary Aussie mongrel. Accompanying the dogs are a cross section of people who share their lives with mans best friend, and the many stories and yarns that go with them. Featuring ordinary working folk, mums and dads, Indigenous people and homeless people, their narratives are often funny, sometimes heroic, frequently heartfelt and moving, but always worth telling. Australian Mongrel is also a showcase for the Australian landscape. Dogs play the lead role, but it is the combination of canine personality, the relationship between human and animal, and location that allows a true connection with these distinctive, nostalgic and honest portraits.

Still Life
Jane Ussher,Nigel Watson
Still Lifeis a unique and hauntingly beautiful photographic study of the Antarctic huts that served as expedition bases for explorations led by Captain Robert Falcon Scott and Sir Ernest Shackleton. At the turn of the twentieth century Antarctica was the focus of one of the last great races of exploration and discovery. Known as the heroic age, from 1895 to 1917 Antarctic explorers set off from their huts in search of adventure, science and glory but some, such as Scott, were never to return. The World Wars intervened and the huts were left as time capsules of Edwardian life. Jane Ussher was invited by the Antarctic Heritage Trust to record the unusual, the hidden and minutiae of these sites. The Executive Director of the Trust, Nigel Watson, provides a fascinating introduction to the history and atmosphere of each hut.
