Synopsis

Who would have thought that working behind the scenes at Radio Caroline would involve smuggling money from one country to another, proving to the police that a body wasn't buried in your garden, knowing that 'Bob the Mole' from the Home Office was listening in to all your phone conversations, that you'd be taking part in a controversial launch of a band or working with George Harrison as he set up Hand Made Films? A sane person might have run for the hills. But being naïve (and perhaps not entirely sane) these were just a few of the shenanigans that the author encountered as she embarked on years of working with Ronan O'Rahilly - the main founder of Radio Caroline.In the 1970s Radio Caroline listeners would, if they were lucky and everything was running smoothly, hear presenters playing great album tracks that couldn't be heard on any other station. Behind the scenes though, others were beavering away to ensure Caroline stayed on the air. 
  
Australian Lyn Gilbert, living in the UK is a teacher, but did a lot of side jobs in her youth, working at bars and restaurants and helping Ronan O'Rahilly producing movies and running his pirate radio station.

    From midwifing new lambs to harvesting basil, Jessica Gigot invites the reader into her life on a small farm and the uncommon road that led her there. Fascinated by farming and the burgeoning local food movement, she spent her twenties wandering the Pacific Northwest, interning at small farms and doing graduate work in horticulture, always with an eye towards learning as much as she could about how and why people farm. Despite numerous setbacks and the many challenges of farming, she created a family and farm life defined by resilience and a genuine love of the land.   
    In A Little Bit of Land, Gigot explores the intricacies of small-scale agriculture in the Pacific Northwest and the changing role of women in this male-dominated industry. Gigot alternates between chapters describing joys, routines, and challenges of farm life and chapters reflecting on her formative experiences in agriculture, on farms and in classrooms from Ashland to the Skagit Valley. Throughout, she explores questions of sustainability, economics, health, and food systems.

    Getting High - The Adventures of...

    Between 1994 and 1996, music writer Paolo Hewitt spent the greater part of his life on the road with Oasis, in the U.K., Europe and America. He came back with tales that would cement the legend of the brawling, effing, hedonistic, charismatic, confessional and extraordinarily talented Gallagher brothers, Noel and Liam, and their group.
     
    Hewitt is a rare and perceptive fly-on-the-wall during the band’s hectic rise to the height of their powers, as their first two albums are released to the kind of excitement scarcely seen in British rock music since the sixties.
     
    Hewitt takes the Gallaghers’ story right back to their parents’ roots in Ireland, and the descriptions of Noel and Liam’s childhoods in working-class Manchester reveal the seeds of their determination to make Oasis the force it became.
     
    Getting High is an illuminating, funny, sometimes shocking reminder of how big a band can get, and how quickly the insanity sets in. Oasis have today sold in excess of 70 million records worldwide. Hewitt's intimate account of this explosive and beloved band, in their prime, is a rock classic and a riveting narrative.
     
    
    ‘Paolo is the only person to speak about what it was like on the road with us because he’s been there. He’s been there, he’s seen it, he’s done it.’ Noel Gallagher
     
    ‘By adopting a fly-on-the-wall approach and writing Oasis’s story as though it were a novel rather than a straight biography, he succeeds in entertaining, informing and occasionally putting you inside the head of the Gallagher brothers.’Hot Press
     
    ‘In Getting High we get closer to the real Oasis, not the tabloid fancies, the music press stereotypes of Noel the genius, Liam the wanker and three other blokes who don’t count. Hewitt paints an engrossing and uplifting portrait of one of the most important bands of the decade.’ The Word and Issue

    While aiming for the bright lights of Broadway, Elise misses her target and is instead thrown into the chaos of Mumbai, dancing in Bollywood blockbusters. The richness of India ignites a deep desire for travel, but when the sudden death of a loved one draws her home, Elise is overcome with hopelessness. Her despair transforms into an eating disorder that consumes the next five years of her youth.  
    Determined to discover her unrecognised potential, Elise makes radical changes and, amid these modifications, finds love. Six months into the romance, a simple question of; ‘Are you happy?’ leads the new couple to sell up everything and move to a sweat-soaked fitness mecca in Phuket, Thailand. It is here she is lured by the irresistible call of Mother Nature and the urge to take it outside. 
    In her introduction to large expeditions, Elise drags a cart, carrying all of her supplies, 1,800 kilometres across the Gobi Desert. Her insatiable desire to challenge herself outdoors leads to skydiving across America, kayaking 2,200 kilometres down the Murray River, climbing five separate 6,000-metre peaks in Nepal, and cycling across Australia. 
    ‘Take It Outside’ is more than just a retelling of a life; it is a rally cry to embrace the abundant opportunities presented by the great outdoors. Through her captivating tales and contagious love for the wild, Elise implores the nature lover in all of us­ to always answer when adventure calls.  
    Let your journey begin.
