Hachette Australia Senior Moments
Book SynopsisHave you had a Senior Moment yet? Maybe you know someone who''s had a few? Check this list to know for sure: You can remember being told the King was dead (George, not Elvis). You still say ''colour television'', and you watch television on a television. Your home phone rings and you answer it. (And you still have a phone, not a ''landline''.) You boast about ''doing it'' three times a night and that''s just getting up to pee. You realise that your wardrobe has become ironic. You''re not back in fashion, but you''re hip. (And ironically, you now have an artificial hip).If you answered ''yes'' to one or more of the above, congratulations! You are officially a Senior and this book is here to guide you through your best years (i.e. the past). Stroll, or maybe shuffle, down Nostalgia Avenue and bask in the glory of growing old disgracefully. (If you are a Young Person, this is the easiest Senior gift idea ever. You''re welcome!)<Trade ReviewSenior Moments is the sort of book that reminds you that no matter how much you long for it, you'll never be 25 again. It's worth treating yourself to, or better still, asking for it for Christmas; the grown-up kids and grandkids will definitely think you've lost the plot as you sit in the corner chuckling after Christmas lunch * NATIONAL [PRINT] The Senior (et al.)

Hachette Australia Twelve Summers
Book SynopsisCricket fans, where were you during the disaster that was the 2013 Ashes? Adam Zwar was making a documentary about bodyline and filming a stunt that involved Brett Lee bowling bouncers to him while he wasn''t wearing a helmet. Matthew Hayden warned him not do it. But the cameras were set up. What was he going to do - say no?How about when Australia A nearly upset Australia in the 1995 World Series Cup and the players were rebelling against officials? Adam was working as a driver for an escort agency in Melbourne.Or Australia v India in 2001? That was when Adam was stuck in a hotel with AC/DC. For all the significant moments in Adam''s life, cricket was in the background - or foreground. And you don''t need to be a fan of cricket to be able to relate, because we all remember where we were when something important happened, whether that''s a cricket test, an album release or a TV show ending. Twelve Summers is hilarious, moving and thought provoking. Even i

Hachette Australia The Gospel According to Paul
Book SynopsisMy fellow irrelevant Australians. Never, in the history of our democracy, has Australian political life been in such a parlous state. There are people living in this country who have never seen true political leadership, having been governed in recent times by the dullest, most sanctimonious, hypocritical choir of patsies. This book will give them a woefully overdue idea of what a real leader looks like.Leadership is not like a can of Popeye''s spinach - you have to earn it. And earn it I did. And I am going to tell you how. In The Gospel According to Paul, writer and satirist Jonathan Biggins draws on his award-winning play to harness the eviscerating wit, wisdom and confidence of Keating, showing us the evolution of Paul John Keating, from Bankstown to the Lodge and beyond. Almost the autobiography Keating said he would never write, it is a timely reminder of the political leadership we are sorely missing.
