Sydney, North Sydney: Penguin Random House Australia, 2016. 1st ed.. Paperback octavo, good condition, colour photos, spine little creased, corner tips covers scuffed, minor edgewear. 322 pp. This book is about a Sudanese-Egyptian-Australian Muslim woman. At 21, Yassmin found herself working on a remote Australian oil and gas rig; she was the only woman working there. This is a story about Yassmin growing up migrant and Muslim in Australia post 9/11, navigating the usual teenage dramas, on top of adjusting to now being seen as the face of the 'enemy'. It is also about the strength of women, about learning to lead and understand the power of failure and a well-placed joke. This story challenges who we are as a society, and asks you to join the journey to a better society.

One of our most incisive and eloquent observers, Bob Ellis has reviewed the occurrences of 2011 and found it to be a year as important as 1848. He and his collaborators refresh and repopulate our memories with enormous events already forgotten, revealing their coherence and resonance. From the Arab Spring to the London riots and Occupy Wall Street, from the Christchurch earthquake and the Fukushima meltdown to the possible discovery of the Higgs God particle, from the shooting of US Senator Gabby Giffords to her vote on the bill that saved America's economy, from Assange fighting extradition to the Murdoch empire on trial, from the last hours of Kim Jong - il and Vaclav Havel to the Breivik massacre in Norway and the executions of Gaddafi and bin Laden - the year 2011 was portentously charged. The shockwaves from these events continue to reverberate through the…
