  "An enthralling and profoundly relevant book." ―Salman Rushdie 
  "I adored reading these joyful, illuminating, and engrossing journeys through ancient literature." ―Madeline Miller 
  From the most celebrated translator of our time comes a visionary exploration of how translation reshapes and enriches our understanding of the ancient world. 
  Drawing on twenty years of scholarship and translation experience, Emily Wilson―renowned translator of Homer's Odyssey and Iliad―explores the difficult choices that translators must make, the pleasures of finding new solutions to old problems, and the inevitable frustrations of never fully capturing what is in the original work. Across chapters that range from the politics of Helen of Troy to the obscenities of Aristophanes, from Roman imitation of Greek models to contemporary debates over "foreignizing" and "domesticizing" translation styles, Wilson examines how modern norms of gender, sexuality, violence, humor, and power complicate our readings of ancient works, and how translation always risks denaturing what is unique and strange about the ancient world. Brilliant, erudite, and yet accessible to listeners with no classics background, Crossing the Wine-Dark Sea is at once an introduction to the wonders of Greek and Roman literature, a manifesto for the value of translation in a rapidly changing world, and an invitation to encounter ancient cultures anew.

  The Quilt of Hope holds the threads of unlived lives and joins them together to reveal a dark history in the Catholic Diocese of Ballarat. 
  During a time when unfathomable and gruesome truths were told, the constant denial and dismissal of claims of child sexual abuse brought together a small group of parishioners. The Quilt of Hope was created to reach out to people and provide a canvas for their voices to finally be heard. 
  This is an inspirational story of people who chose to stand up in the face of evil and work together to challenge the collective silence of the Catholic Church and the wider Catholic community. 
  Adrianne Moloney is the daughter of Carmel Moloney, a founding member of MTJ (Moving Towards Justice). She was inspired to compile this book to honour the voices behind the quilt and provide a vehicle for these stories to be shared. 
  Adrianne holds a Masters in Sociology and Anthropology and a Masters in International Community Development. She grew up in Ballarat and attended local Catholic schools.

  Awaken your future sense and predict your own future! 
  The future is a game. And this book will teach you how to win planetary style! 
  Anne Skare Nielsen and Henrik Good Hovgaard are some of the most prominent futurists in the game. Together they run Universal Futurist and travel the world to teach leaders and other folks how to be a visionary, predict the future and create their own unique vantage point. Anne and Henrik are crazy enough to believe that futurists can change the world for the better, and their own mission is to win the Nobel Peace Price before they die. If you buy this book, you’re invited to the after party. 
  ‘Future Sense’ will teach you how to spot trends, how to keep focusing on your goals, overcome your worst fears and taboos, train new and future-oriented skills and visualize a future full of magic moments. 
  You’ll move on from being a passive and analytical observer to being an active and rebellious co-player. And you’ll attune your ‘MBS’ – an amazing navigation tool that teaches you how to combine your Mind, Body and Soul, so that you are able to see, feel and believe in the future you want to create. 
  With 'Future Sense’ in your hand, you’ll not just be able to navigate the future. You’ll also know how to design the rules of the game yourself. The future will no longer hit you on the way out, for you will be the futurist, who can change the rules of the game and create a better world for others. 
  ‘Future Sense’ unlocks a new and better mode called Planetary. And you can only win this mode if the other players win as well. Success in the future is not about ‘more,’ it’s about ‘better.’ 
  When you can predict your own future, you must use the insight you gain to create a better life, but you can’t do it on your own. If you’re in the game for ‘more,’ you might win, but you’ll ruin the whole world in the process.

  Matisse at War

  In 1940, with the Nazis sweeping through France, Henri Matisse found himself at a personal and artistic crossroads. His marriage had ended, he was gravely ill, and after decades at the forefront of modern art, he was beset by doubt. As scores of famous figures escaped the country, Matisse took refuge in Nice, with his companion, Lydia. By defiantly remaining, Matisse was a source of inspiration for his nation. 
   
   
   
  While enemy agents and Resistance fighters played cat-and-mouse in the alleyways of Nice, Matisse's son, Jean, engaged in sabotage efforts with the Allies. In Paris, under the swastika, Matisse's estranged wife worked for the Communist underground. His daughter, Marguerite, active in the French Resistance, was arrested and tortured by the Gestapo, sentenced to Ravensbruck concentration camp—and miraculously escaped when her train was halted by Allied bombs. His younger son, Pierre helped Jewish artists escape to New York; even his grandson risked his life by defying the Germans and their Vichy collaborators. Amidst this chaos, Matisse responded to the dark days of war by inventing a dazzling new paper technique that led to some of his most iconic pieces, including The Fall of Icarus, his profile of Charles De Gaulle, Monsieur Loyal, and his groundbreaking cut-out book, Jazz. His wartime works were acts of resistance, subtly patriotic, and daringly new.
