Hanging Ned Kelly looks at the life and times, crimes and demise of Australia's most famous antihero from a new perspective: that of the rogue and vagabond who finally put the noose around his neck.

We're obsessed with reality television these days, yet we so often neglect the greatest reality of all: the reality of our nation and how it came to be. In Error Australis, TV columnist, comedian and history buff Ben Pobjie recaps the history of Australia from its humble beginnings as a small patch of rapidly cooling rock to its modern-day status as one of the major powers of the sub-Asian super-Antarctic next-to-Africa region. Pobjie recognises that history can be as gripping as any reality show; as thrilling as it is to see Delta Goodrem's chair turn around, there is an argument that the Second World War was even more exciting, and like any good recapper; he provides an immediate, visceral sense of what it was like to be there in the moment at our nation's defining events. All historians know that it is only by looking at where we have been that we can understand who we are, what we stand for, and why nothing seems to work. Error Australis is a scholastic and side-splittingly funny account of a young nation that has spent many years seeking its place in the world and almost as many years not liking what it has found.…

Interior and binding are still very good. Few Australians have given more to cricket than Rodney William Marsh, one of the most competitive players to wear the Baggy Green. Australia's youngest ever wicketkeeper played 96 Tests, set a world record of 355 dismissals and stood at the heart of the legendary Australian Test team of the 1970s and early 80s, forming a world-best partnership with Dennis Lillee. As a coach at the National Cricket Academy, Marsh helped shape a new golden era for Australian cricket, moulding young players such as Ricky Ponting and Adam Gilchrist. He then did the unthinkable when he went over to the old enemy and helped England to a drought-breaking Ashes win in 2005. Back in Australia, Marsh became chairman of national selectors at a time when Australia won the World Cup and reached the top of the world Test rankings. This illustrated autobiography, including photographs from Marsh's private collection and contributions from a who's who of cricketing legends, is an incredible insight into an Australian sporting icon.…

In the First World War of 1914-1918, thousands of boys across Australia and New Zealand lied about their age, forged a parent's signature and left to fight on the other side of the world. Though some were as young as thirteen, they soon found they could die as well as any man. Like Peter Pan's lost boys, they have remained forever young. These are their stories. This extraordinary book captures the incredible and previously untold stories of forty Anzac boys who fought in the First World War, from Gallipoli to the Armistice. Featuring haunting images of the boys taken at training camps and behind the lines, these tales are both heartbreaking and rousing, full of daring, ingenuity, recklessness, random horror and capricious luck. A unique perspective on the First World War, The Lost Boys is military history made deeply personal, a powerful homage to youthful bravery and a poignant reminder of the sacrifice of war.

Relive Peter Perfect's reign over the Mountain in the company of Bev Brock, his partner of nearly three decades, as well as mechanics, teammates, rivals and friends who witnessed his genius up close. Featuring over 150 images, including previously unseen photographs from Brock's private collection, Brock at Bathurst is a nostalgic and exhilarating celebration of an iconic pairing in Australian sport.…
