Harvest of Greed Author: Michael Byrnes Harvest of Greed is a fast-paced business and politics crime novel built around the contemporary themes of corruption in the China trade, climate change, food crises, global market instability and the role of the media. It is about the stark side of people with extraordinary goals in Asia and about the offsetting target of the fantastic Australian countryside, with its bare beauty and endless wheat fields, which shimmer like a heat mirage over a search for truth in China. There is humanity and fragility in every character, in the country cop searching for truth at the end of his working life, in the city screen jockey itching to escape from a prison of office politics, in an impassioned Australian firebug puppet, even a little, but not much, in the master market manipulators from the depths of modern China. A political murder, a name change, a government award, and someone who sees through it all. Who wins? Who has the strongest power from within? Website
The Lessons in Time
Author: Giuseppe Ferrone Luca Evangelista is a thirty-five year old charismatic and very popular high school history teacher in the remote Australian city of Perth. When he is visited in his classroom by a mysterious alien who calls himself Otto, Luca’s world is turned upside down. In a volatile relationship with Isabella, the love of his life; and struggling to cope with the sudden death of his beloved father; he finds himself in a race against time to change the future of planet Earth, for the better. Luca must travel back in time, through a wormhole, and change twelve monumental events: the assassinations of Philip II of Macedonia and Julius Caesar; preventing Charlemagne from becoming Holy Roman Emperor; preventing Pope Urban II from launching the First Crusade; stopping Columbus’s voyage to the Americas; stopping the European powers from carving-up Africa; preventing the assassination of Franz Ferdinand, which triggered World War One; making sure Adolf Hitler is accepted into the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts; helping Vladimir Lenin secure Trotsky as his successor rather than Stalin; delaying the Manhattan Project for the development of an atomic bomb; stopping the assassination of John F. Kennedy; and preventing the September 11 attack on the United States. If he succeeds in all of these missions, the butterfly effect will create a much better future for the planet. If he fails in just one of these missions, the world is doomed to a catastrophic future. Joe.Ferrone@education.wa.edu.au

Big History Author: Giuseppe Ferrone Big History is our modern scientific and historical creation story which unfolds in eight increasing thresholds of complexity. Our story starts with the creation of the Universe in the Big Bang, 13.8 billion years ago. Then we proceed to the formation of the first stars and galaxies, 200 million years after the Big Bang. The third threshold is the creation of all the chemical elements in the Universe, either within the core of stars, or for those elements heavier than iron, from exploding supernovas. The diversity of chemical elements allowed for greater complexity, the formation of gas and rocky planets, including our Earth and solar system, which was formed 4.5 billion years ago. The fifth threshold examines the appearance of life on Earth 3.8 billion years ago, and the incredible explosion of species through the process of evolution. This evolution ultimately leads to the sixth threshold, humans, who first appeared in Africa around 300,000 years ago.
We then explore the history of humanity; from leaving Africa, migrating around the world as hunters and gatherers, the advent of agriculture alongside major river systems around 12,000 years ago, directly leading to great civilizations, the modern world, and our technological revolution, which we are just on the cusp of experiencing now. We examine the future of humanity, the Earth, solar system, our galaxy, and ultimately, the Universe. In this book, I argue that we are close to approaching a ninth level of increasing complexity, the singularity, when artificial intelligence will exceed human intelligence.

The History of Molise & Abruzzo Italy Author: Giuseppe Ferrone
Little known Molise and Abruzzo in central Italy was the home of my ancestors, the fearsome and proud ancient Samnites who came down from the Apennine mountains to contest the lush fertile fields of Campania against the newly established Latin Romans. After three brutal wars with Rome, the Samnites were subdued and integrated into Roman society, but their culture lived on.
The dramatic history of this region is recounted from ancient times, through the Middle Ages and into the modern world; as seen through the eyes of conquerors, monks, saints, nobles, peasants, scientists, poets, charlatans, adventurers, opportunists, witches, popes, politicians, journalists, movie actors and entertainers; who all left a cultural legacy on Molise and Abruzzo. Against the backdrop of this history, is my mother Carmelina’s personal story from her childhood in the Molise village of Montagano during the Second World War, to her migration to Australia in the 1950s in order to start a new life in a land of opportunities. This book is a journey of adventure and discovery, told through stories of the human condition reflected in hope, disappointment, faith, ambition, fear, perseverance, humbleness, hatred, wisdom and the sheer power of a mother’s unconditional love and devotion to her family.

The Buccaneer's Bell Author: Hugh Edwards In 200l an Australian expedition of seven men set out from Western Australia for the far South Atlantic, on a journey to find the final resting places of two famous exploration vessels. The French frigate Uranie, commanded by Louis de Freycinet was lost in the Falkland Islands in 1820, and William Dampier’s ship Roebuck, was wrecked at Ascension Island in 1701. Both captains, Dampier the acclaimed navigator and natural historian, controversial for his association with buccaneers, and Freycinet the smart-as-paint French officer, played important roles in exploring the Western Australian coast. They also shared the unhappy fate of being wrecked on desolate, uninhabited islands while homeward bound. What the modern Australians discovered in their search was far beyond their expectations, perhaps beyond even their imaginations. In this fascinating account of the lives of two very different captains – and the love story of Rose de Freycinet, smuggled illegally aboard her husband’s ship – Hugh Edwards skillfully places the historical context against the excitement of the successful search for the lost ships. A triumph of modern adventure. Hugh Edwards is Western Australia’s most widely published author, with twelve of his 30 books published overseas in six languages. His best known work Islands Of Angry Ghosts, about the 1629 Batavia shipwreck, was awarded the Sir Thomas White Memorial Prize.

Turn on a Light Author: Dave Goddard Nine Aboriginal children under the age of five have died in four years in Plantagenet, a small Aboriginal community on the site of a former large gold-mining town outside Kalgoorlie. Statistically, this is an horrendous mortality rate that doesn’t seem to bother anyone except the Catholic missionaries who support the community and community members themselves. Is the lack of concern just because the deaths are those of Aboriginal children or is something more sinister happening? Robbie Fairfax, a former road-train driver who has recently trained as a teacher, walks into the eye of a political storm on his first posting in 1974. He becomes involved in seeking reasons for these deaths, working with the missionaries, community members and an attractive young high school science teacher. His efforts put him at odds with heads of government agencies, regional Catholics, the local media, and his educational superiors, all of whom seek to protect their reputations as they try to destroy his. His ordeal is made more complex by past personal issues, but at least he has support from the Catholic missionaries, including a very pretty nun, his ever-supportive mother and a female psychologist who returns to his life.

Taxi 528 Author: Rowena Hopper Have you ever wondered what really happens inside a taxi? Bit of a voyeur are you? Come take a ride with me... Working as a female cabbie driving the night shift in Perth in my 20’s and 30’s I experienced many situations that gave me amazing insight into the people around me. Picking up many odd yet fascinating fares, I discovered there is no ‘normal’ in human nature. From men in tutus, girls on the game, the Commissioner of Police, the newspaper seller on the street corner, drunken louts, to near misses, they have all altered the way I see life. As a female driver I was in a unique position to gain the trust of women instantly as I was no threat and most men respected me for having the guts to do the job in the first place. Being extremely tolerant and compassionate with everyone I made friends quickly and easily; it was a fun filled seven years. I want you to feel my fury when four young people rob me, my sense of amazement when the cab is filled with water, my fear when being attacked and finally my joy at finding true love.

Blood on Borneo Author: Jack Wong Sue DCM JP At 16, Jack received a white feather (sign of cowardice), left his job, enlisted on an overseas Norwegian tanker and remained there; returned to Australia before his 18th birthday. He then applied to join the Royal Australian Navy who rejected him because his father was born in China, so he immediately joined the Royal Australian Air Forces Air Sea Rescue and served on crash boats for four months. Because of his Oriental appearance and fluency in Chinese and Malay, when asked to volunteer for service behind Japanese lines with Services Reconnaissance Department later Z Special Unit, he readily accepted. The anecdotal stories of his book, because that is what they are, written from the rough notes of a hastily scribbled war-time diary and aided by a phenomenal memory, make absorbing reading for all Australian teenagers and above, and I congratulate Jack on telling us so vividly and so interestingly about a special breed of men who played a unique and largely unsung role in the final defeat of a brutal but courageous enemy. It is a book that should be read by all Australians" Major General Michael Jeffery AC CVO MC KStJ CitWA Post-war he was involved in journalism, television and music until his pre-war and wartime diving captured his fancy and opened WAs first professional dive store.

9370 - Sooner or Later Everyone Pays the Price  Author: James Yates 9370 is James Yates’ philosophical comment on life, gleaned from his past experiences and in particular from his vivid memories of his time in the West Australian Police Service. His stories of events during his tenure as a policeman are uncompromising in his attempt to draw the reader into the reality of what ‘the thin blue line’ are confronted with day by day. The stories, funny and poignant have a certain pulling power, told in a no nonsense manner that enables the reader to sense the adrenalin rush of the chase, cheer when the offenders are apprehended and feel the frustration at the corruption of the wider judicial system and be overwhelmed at the burgeoning crime. James taps into this frustration in his book by recounting personal battles with his own demons, eventually culminating in post traumatic stress disorder. It seems to ring true that sooner or later everyone pays a price, criminals, prostitutes, bikies, and lawyers, even dedicated police officers. This book does not end in despair, rather James recounts that his emotional and mental health has been restored, to which I can testify, having known James and his family for the last ten years since leaving the police service. Hope is found by a discovery, through family, friends and a saving faith that the ‘price’ can be trumped by amazing grace. Hans Van Asselt MA Theology Senior Minister 1Church Website

After the funeral—not really a funeral, because there is no body, only a battered ski and the sad stories his mates tell at the inquest—Bette begins to wonder.

Blood on Borneo Author: Jack Wong Sue DCM JP At 16, Jack received a white feather (sign of cowardice), left his job, enlisted on an overseas Norwegian tanker and remained there; returned to Australia before his 18th birthday. He then applied to join the Royal Australian Navy who rejected him because his father was born in China, so he immediately joined the Royal Australian Air Forces Air Sea Rescue and served on crash boats for four months. Because of his Oriental appearance and fluency in Chinese and Malay, when asked to volunteer for service behind Japanese lines with Services Reconnaissance Department later Z Special Unit, he readily accepted. The anecdotal stories of his book, because that is what they are, written from the rough notes of a hastily scribbled war-time diary and aided by a phenomenal memory, make absorbing reading for all Australian teenagers and above, and I congratulate Jack on telling us so vividly and so interestingly about a special breed of men who played a unique and largely unsung role in the final defeat of a brutal but courageous enemy.

9370 - Sooner or Later Everyone Pays the Price  Author: James Yates 9370 is James Yates’ philosophical comment on life, gleaned from his past experiences and in particular from his vivid memories of his time in the West Australian Police Service. His stories of events during his tenure as a policeman are uncompromising in his attempt to draw the reader into the reality of what ‘the thin blue line’ are confronted with day by day. The stories, funny and poignant have a certain pulling power, told in a no nonsense manner that enables the reader to sense the adrenalin rush of the chase, cheer when the offenders are apprehended and feel the frustration at the corruption of the wider judicial system and be overwhelmed at the burgeoning crime. James taps into this frustration in his book by recounting personal battles with his own demons, eventually culminating in post traumatic stress disorder. It seems to ring true that sooner or later everyone pays a price, criminals, prostitutes, bikies, and lawyers, even dedicated police officers. This book does not end in despair, rather James recounts that his emotional and mental health has been restored, to which I can testify, having known James and his family for the last ten years since leaving the police service. Hope is found by a discovery, through family, friends and a saving faith that the ‘price’ can be trumped by amazing grace. Hans Van Asselt MA Theology Senior Minister 1Church Website

Harvest of Greed Author: Michael Byrnes Harvest of Greed is a fast-paced business and politics crime novel built around the contemporary themes of corruption in the China trade, climate change, food crises, global market instability and the role of the media. It is about the stark side of people with extraordinary goals in Asia and about the offsetting target of the fantastic Australian countryside, with its bare beauty and endless wheat fields, which shimmer like a heat mirage over a search for truth in China. There is humanity and fragility in every character, in the country cop searching for truth at the end of his working life, in the city screen jockey itching to escape from a prison of office politics, in an impassioned Australian firebug puppet, even a little, but not much, in the master market manipulators from the depths of modern China. A political murder, a name change, a government award, and someone who sees through it all. Who wins? Who has the strongest power from within? Website
The Lessons in Time
Author: Giuseppe Ferrone Luca Evangelista is a thirty-five year old charismatic and very popular high school history teacher in the remote Australian city of Perth. When he is visited in his classroom by a mysterious alien who calls himself Otto, Luca’s world is turned upside down. In a volatile relationship with Isabella, the love of his life; and struggling to cope with the sudden death of his beloved father; he finds himself in a race against time to change the future of planet Earth, for the better. Luca must travel back in time, through a wormhole, and change twelve monumental events: the assassinations of Philip II of Macedonia and Julius Caesar; preventing Charlemagne from becoming Holy Roman Emperor; preventing Pope Urban II from launching the First Crusade; stopping Columbus’s voyage to the Americas; stopping the European powers from carving-up Africa; preventing the assassination of Franz Ferdinand, which triggered World War One; making sure Adolf Hitler is accepted into the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts; helping Vladimir Lenin secure Trotsky as his successor rather than Stalin; delaying the Manhattan Project for the development of an atomic bomb; stopping the assassination of John F. Kennedy; and preventing the September 11 attack on the United States. If he succeeds in all of these missions, the butterfly effect will create a much better future for the planet. If he fails in just one of these missions, the world is doomed to a catastrophic future. Joe.Ferrone@education.wa.edu.au
Big History Author: Giuseppe Ferrone Big History is our modern scientific and historical creation story which unfolds in eight increasing thresholds of complexity. Our story starts with the creation of the Universe in the Big Bang, 13.8 billion years ago. Then we proceed to the formation of the first stars and galaxies, 200 million years after the Big Bang. The third threshold is the creation of all the chemical elements in the Universe, either within the core of stars, or for those elements heavier than iron, from exploding supernovas. The diversity of chemical elements allowed for greater complexity, the formation of gas and rocky planets, including our Earth and solar system, which was formed 4.5 billion years ago. The fifth threshold examines the appearance of life on Earth 3.8 billion years ago, and the incredible explosion of species through the process of evolution. This evolution ultimately leads to the sixth threshold, humans, who first appeared in Africa around 300,000 years ago.
We then explore the history of humanity; from leaving Africa, migrating around the world as hunters and gatherers, the advent of agriculture alongside major river systems around 12,000 years ago, directly leading to great civilizations, the modern world, and our technological revolution, which we are just on the cusp of experiencing now. We examine the future of humanity, the Earth, solar system, our galaxy, and ultimately, the Universe. In this book, I argue that we are close to approaching a ninth level of increasing complexity, the singularity, when artificial intelligence will exceed human intelligence.

The History of Molise & Abruzzo Italy Author: Giuseppe Ferrone
Little known Molise and Abruzzo in central Italy was the home of my ancestors, the fearsome and proud ancient Samnites who came down from the Apennine mountains to contest the lush fertile fields of Campania against the newly established Latin Romans. After three brutal wars with Rome, the Samnites were subdued and integrated into Roman society, but their culture lived on.
The dramatic history of this region is recounted from ancient times, through the Middle Ages and into the modern world; as seen through the eyes of conquerors, monks, saints, nobles, peasants, scientists, poets, charlatans, adventurers, opportunists, witches, popes, politicians, journalists, movie actors and entertainers; who all left a cultural legacy on Molise and Abruzzo. Against the backdrop of this history, is my mother Carmelina’s personal story from her childhood in the Molise village of Montagano during the Second World War, to her migration to Australia in the 1950s in order to start a new life in a land of opportunities. This book is a journey of adventure and discovery, told through stories of the human condition reflected in hope, disappointment, faith, ambition, fear, perseverance, humbleness, hatred, wisdom and the sheer power of a mother’s unconditional love and devotion to her family.

The Buccaneer's Bell Author: Hugh Edwards In 200l an Australian expedition of seven men set out from Western Australia for the far South Atlantic, on a journey to find the final resting places of two famous exploration vessels. The French frigate Uranie, commanded by Louis de Freycinet was lost in the Falkland Islands in 1820, and William Dampier’s ship Roebuck, was wrecked at Ascension Island in 1701. Both captains, Dampier the acclaimed navigator and natural historian, controversial for his association with buccaneers, and Freycinet the smart-as-paint French officer, played important roles in exploring the Western Australian coast. They also shared the unhappy fate of being wrecked on desolate, uninhabited islands while homeward bound. What the modern Australians discovered in their search was far beyond their expectations, perhaps beyond even their imaginations. In this fascinating account of the lives of two very different captains – and the love story of Rose de Freycinet, smuggled illegally aboard her husband’s ship – Hugh Edwards skillfully places the historical context against the excitement of the successful search for the lost ships. A triumph of modern adventure. Hugh Edwards is Western Australia’s most widely published author, with twelve of his 30 books published overseas in six languages. His best known work Islands Of Angry Ghosts, about the 1629 Batavia shipwreck, was awarded the Sir Thomas White Memorial Prize.
Turn on a Light Author: Dave Goddard Nine Aboriginal children under the age of five have died in four years in Plantagenet, a small Aboriginal community on the site of a former large gold-mining town outside Kalgoorlie. Statistically, this is an horrendous mortality rate that doesn’t seem to bother anyone except the Catholic missionaries who support the community and community members themselves. Is the lack of concern just because the deaths are those of Aboriginal children or is something more sinister happening? Robbie Fairfax, a former road-train driver who has recently trained as a teacher, walks into the eye of a political storm on his first posting in 1974. He becomes involved in seeking reasons for these deaths, working with the missionaries, community members and an attractive young high school science teacher. His efforts put him at odds with heads of government agencies, regional Catholics, the local media, and his educational superiors, all of whom seek to protect their reputations as they try to destroy his. His ordeal is made more complex by past personal issues, but at least he has support from the Catholic missionaries, including a very pretty nun, his ever-supportive mother and a female psychologist who returns to his life.
The Wiluna Solution Author: Dave Goddard Who is Jessie Croft? Why has she disappeared from Wiluna? What is the mystery behind the mesmerising eyes?

Testimonial A journey with Greg, a police officer, to a unique place and time as he searches for answers and truth. The Wiluna Solution is an enjoyable account that captures the soul of the town, region and its people." Todd Pender, Western Australian Police

Taxi 528 Author: Rowena Hopper Have you ever wondered what really happens inside a taxi? Bit of a voyeur are you? Come take a ride with me... Working as a female cabbie driving the night shift in Perth in my 20’s and 30’s I experienced many situations that gave me amazing insight into the people around me. Picking up many odd yet fascinating fares, I discovered there is no ‘normal’ in human nature. From men in tutus, girls on the game, the Commissioner of Police, the newspaper seller on the street corner, drunken louts, to near misses, they have all altered the way I see life. As a female driver I was in a unique position to gain the trust of women instantly as I was no threat and most men respected me for having the guts to do the job in the first place. Being extremely tolerant and compassionate with everyone I made friends quickly and easily; it was a fun filled seven years. I want you to feel my fury when four young people rob me, my sense of amazement when the cab is filled with water, my fear when being attacked and finally my joy at finding true love.
