Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Edition. Very good condition. Minimal edgewear. Inscribed by author. In an old house with too many windows and women, high in the Indian hills, young Hannah lives with her older sister Gloria; her two older brothers; her mother the Magician; a colourful assortment of aunts, blow-ins and misfits; and her father the Historian. It is a world of secrets, jealousies and lies, ruled by the Historian but smoothed over by the Magician, whose kindnesses and wisdom bring homely comfort and all-enveloping love to a ramshackle building that seems destined for chaos. And then one day the Magician is gone, Gloria is gone, and the Historian has spirited Hannah and her brothers away to a new and at first bewildering life in Perth. As Hannah grows and makes her own way through Australian life, an education and friendships, she begins to penetrate to the heart of one of the old house's greatest secrets and to the meaning of her own existence.…

With deep roots in the Kimberley region, Olive Knight shares her story of growing up with the Gooniyandi and Walmatjarri peoples of north-western Australia. As the daughter of a half-caste father, she was nearly killed on the day of her birth, as was customary for half-blood children in her community. Thankfully, she was spared by an elder and would follow her own path, full of hardship as she moved from mission to mission. She eventually found love and fulfilment, following her late husband Jim's passion for Indigenous rights, becoming a respected translator and community leader. After Jim's death, Olive's singing and songwriting opened unexpected worlds of opportunity. From early days in mission gospel choirs to finding her true voice in the country-western, blues and rock n' roll music of the day, Olive's talent as a singer eventually led to collaborations with other artists and performers, many of whom sought her unique voice and ability to translate songs into her traditional language. In 2011, Olive was invited to sing as part of Hugh Jackman's Back on Broadway production.…

Prevention is the ultimate approach to reducing the burden of all kinds of disease, and the greatest potential for success lies in early life. What happens during early critical periods of life can determine our longevity and our risk of disease decades later. In other words, how well we start life will determine how well we finish it. Dr Susan Prescott, a pediatrician internationally recognised for her work in disease prevention through healthier lifestyles, takes us on a journey of health, beginning from the first moments of life, revealing how adverse conditions during the important stages of our development can have a far more profound effect on our body structures, functions and even our developing behaviours. She draws on the latest research to explain how early life conditions determine our biological reserve, our capacity to deal with life's challenges, and how many of the consequences may not appear until much later in life. Covering a broad range of topics including obesity, diabetes, heart disease, cancer, allergy, arthritis and mental health, she shows how improving conditions in early life is critical for long-term health and longevity, and in the prevention of adverse conditions.…
