The Household Guide to Dying
Debra Adelaide

Augusten Burroughs
From the number one New York Times bestselling author of Running with Scissors comes an hilarious, frightening and compulsively readable new memoir.

Growing Up Asian in Australia
Alice Pung
Asian-Australians are known to each other and the outside world by many labels: Quiet Achiever. FOB. Gangster Chigger. Mainlander. Banana.

Unpredictable, honest, reflective and irreverent, this collection throws out the clichés and takes us behind the stereotypes. A young man tentatively steps toward manhood with Mariah Carey blasting in his ears, while two primary-school misfits stage a playground revolt. A white Australian woman describes mothering her adopted Asian son, and a teenage boy learns all about philandering from his visiting uncles...

Terror: From Tyrannicide to Terrorism
Brett Bowden and Michael Davis
The issues of terror and terrorism confront us every day: every time we board a flight, pick up a newspaper or watch television. Concerns about terrorism now dictate domestic and foreign policies around the world. In a very real sense, one way or another we find ourselves in the grip of terror. But what is terror? How is it described, measured and experienced? Is the current terrorist threat unprecedented? The answers to many of these questions, and the lessons therein, are to be found in history; and nowhere more so than in Europe...

Simon Critchley
