Shashi Holla

In the grand tapestry of human history, few movements have been as impactful as the Indian diaspora spreading across the globe over the last 150 years. Today, with over thirty million individuals of Indian origin residing beyond their ancestral land, the phenomenon presents a fascinating study of cultural and historical interweaving, particularly highlighted by the nearly one million diaspora members in Australia 
This book offers a panoramic yet nuanced view of the India-Australia dynamics, traversing a wide spectrum of periods and themes- from ancient bonds and historical ties to colonial encounters and contemporary affairs-making this an indispensable handbook for the Indian diaspora in Australia, students, historians and all others interested, and opens up a zillion topics for research. From the geopolitical connections dating back to the Gondwanaland era to the modern-day symbolisms of the Swastika, the narrative weaves together a rich and complex history of diaspora movements, sugar trade, and beyond. The historical depth of the Indian diaspora in Australia, rooted as deeply as the inception of Australia itself in the late 18th century, is brought to the fore with meticulous scholarship. The author, leveraging his extensive experience and scholarly acumen, stitches together disparate fragments of information into a coherent and captivating narrative, underpinned by reliable sources.

Roberta E. Sawatzky

What does retirement mean to you? 
Do you feel you’ve seen enough of the world? 
As you approach this later stage in life, the thought of travel can feel beyond intimidating—especially for those of us handling chronic medical conditions. 
In What If . . . ?, author Roberta Sawatzky highlights the importance of seizing the day when it comes to seeing the world, even and especially as one approaches retirement age. She recounts her personal experience taking a study leave to travel Europe with her husband, focusing on the seven months they spent living in Portugal and Spain as she completed research on leadership in remote and hybrid teams. In a dramatic turn, her husband is diagnosed with end stage renal failure while they are preparing for their trip, resulting in them travelling with a dialysis machine, among other medical supplies. 
Despite this and other challenges, from language barriers to locating medical services, Sawatzky and her husband immerse themselves thoroughly in the enriching experience of long-term travel, reaping the benefits of an expanded perspective and deeper self-belief for a long time to come. 
In the end, What If . . . ? testifies to the importance of rising to the challenges you meet in realizing your travel dreams—especially as you reach this next stage of life—and just how vital it is not to let anything stop you.

The History of England

Jane Austen

The History of England from Henry IV to Charles I, by a partial, prejudiced, and ignorant historian.  N.B. There will be very few dates in this History! Jane Austen wrote The History of England in 1791, at the age of just 15, as a satirical parody of 18th-century historical textbooks.  It pokes fun at the apparent impartiality of contemporary historians and contains more opinions about the monarchs' relative characters than any facts or dates. The History of England was not published until 1922, more than a century after Austen's death.
