    Robyn Weatherley has spent years and hundreds of meetings in all types of Boardrooms, working with some of the best (and less fine) Board Directors in Australia.Her extensive career in corporate governance has included working with and advising numerous Boards of substantial operating entities (listed and unlisted, private and government), on how to operate on the right side of good governance and the law. Living and breathing the world of Directors means Robyn can provide both aspirational and new Board Directors with detailed, humanistic insights as to what a newbie to this field might encounter upon their first appointment - details very seldomly shared in structured education courses.Much like an informal fireside chat with a friend, 'Eyes Wide Open - A First Timer's Guide to the Real World of Boards and Company Directorship' takes the interested and keen, but uninitiated Director, on a high level journey through the very important step of how to conduct a thorough and effective due diligence; then on to the experience, expectations and risks of the appointment; a review of the people you'll be likely be working with, and then rounding out with insights concerning ongoing education and what the ongoing responsibilities of a Director look like.Straight forward, easy to grasp, conversational - this is what you'll find in 'Eyes Wide Open'.  It's a great ready reckoner for anyone considering a Board role in their future. Whilst the hardcover was published in 2015, the principles remain and hold as firm today, as they did when first written.

    The Lady and Her Monsters by Roseanne Motillo brings to life the fascinating times, startling science, and real-life horrors behind Mary Shelley’s gothic masterpiece, Frankenstein.Montillo recounts how—at the intersection of the Romantic Age and the Industrial Revolution—Shelley’s Victor Frankenstein was inspired by actual scientists of the period: curious and daring iconoclasts who were obsessed with the inner workings of the human body and how it might be reanimated after death.With true-life tales of grave robbers, ghoulish experiments, and the ultimate in macabre research—human reanimation—The Lady and Her Monsters is a brilliant exploration of the creation of Frankenstein, Mary Shelley’s horror classic.

    A compendium of quotes and riffs by P.J. O'Rourke on subjects ranging from government to fishing to apps, to be published on what would have been his seventy-fifth birthday.When The Penguin Dictionary of Modern Humorous Quotations was published in 1994, P. J. O'Rourke had more entries than any living writer. And he kept writing funny stuff for another twenty-eight years. Now, for the first time, the best material is collected in  one volume. Edited by Terry McDonell, The Funny Stuff is arranged in six sections, organized by subject in alphabetical order from Agriculture to Xenophobia. From his earliest days at the National Lampoon in the 1970s, through his classic reporting for Rolling Stone in the '80s and '90s to his post-Trump, pandemic, new media observations of recent years, P. J. produced incisive, amusing copy. Not only did P. J. write memorable one-liners, he also meticulously constructed riffs that are still being quoted years later. His prose has the electric verbal energy of Tom Wolfe or Hunter Thompson, but P. J. is more flat out funny. And through it all comes his clear-eyed take on politics, economics, human nature—and fun. The Funny Stuff is a book for P. J. fans to devour but also a book that will bring new audiences and stand as testament to one of the truly original American writers of the last fifty years.
