Sinossi

Longest Beaches explores the world's most extensive sandy coastlines, examining their geological origins, ecological importance, and the impact of human activities. It addresses the geological processes that create these coastal landscapes, the diverse ecosystems they support, and the challenges of balancing tourism with conservation. For instance, the book highlights how erosion and sedimentation, driven by ocean currents and tectonic activity, shape these beaches over millennia. It also uncovers how these seemingly barren landscapes are actually biodiversity hotspots, vital for migratory shorebirds and nesting sea turtles. The book emphasizes that these beaches are not merely scenic but essential ecological systems facing increasing threats.

 
It progresses by first detailing the locations and physical characteristics of the longest beaches, followed by an examination of their unique biodiversity. The final section analyzes human impact, including the economic benefits of tourism and the environmental consequences of development, concluding with strategies for sustainable management. This approach provides a deeper understanding of the ecological and economic importance of beaches, offering practical applications for coastal management and environmental responsibility.

Lifting Off - A Life in Freefall

Karen McLeod

An absorbing and often hilarious account of the author's 12 years as closeted cabin crew for British Airways.  It's a story of love, creativity and acceptance, the transformative power of lesbian love and more.  Told with the wit and verve that characterised her debut novel, Karen's memoir of flying as cabin crew offers a fascinating insight into the profound impact of long-haul life.  Having come out as a lesbian she is forced to go back in as colleagues advise her that it is not ok to be gay, unlike male cabin crew. Brimming with vertiginous loops and extreme globe-trotting, against a backdrop of exotic locations, hotel bars and nightclubs, Karen slowly unravels as the inability to truly be herself reverberates. This is the story of how Karen finally came into land. How she learned to look after herself and discovered her true strength. "Atmospheric and idiosyncratic, this is a memoir that entertains and emboldens" Observer

Wonderful World of Paper-Pieced...

Liza Taylor

When you combine a sampler quilt with the ever-growing popularity of foundation paper pieced quilt blocks--those inspired by nature and gorgeous quilting prints--it's a win, win. Author Liza Taylor has created 30 flower and creatures-of-flight blocks that have a sophisticated sensibility. Patterns include a butterfly, dragonfly, ladybug, poppy flower, lavender, larkspur, maple leaf, and fern! Individually, these blocks are beautiful; combined into a sampler quilt, they're simply fabulous. The blocks are so pretty that quilters may find themselves making extras for framing or wall hangings to complement their fresh new bedding. The blocks are offered in two sizes 5" and 7", with on-page templates, but Liza instructs quilters how to enlarge a foundation pattern if they're looking for alternative-size blocks. Wonderful World of Paper Pieced Blocks captures a fresh, modern vibe infused with the vintage charm of patchwork quilting.

Reckless

Marele Day

SHORTLISTED FOR THE NED KELLEY AWARD FOR BEST TRUE CRIME 
 
A bank robber on the run. A young woman at a crossroad. A true story like you've never read before. 
Jean Kay, my skipper, fellow adventurer, my friend. My brother. 
 
Jean Kay, soldier-of-fortune, opportunist, embezzler, hijacker. 
 
In her youth, amidst the throes of a reckless grief, aspiring Australian writer Marele Day is caught up in a shipwreck adventure and forges an unlikely bond with an international fugitive travelling under a pseudonym. For the next 30 years they correspond before reuniting, both older and wiser, in France. 
 
Marele is now an accomplished crime writer, and while she knew of her travel companion’s previous reputation as ‘the high-jacker with heart’ and ‘brother to the poor’, she is intrigued to discover his connection to the disappearance of eight million francs and a secret dossier that made global headlines.  
 
Brilliantly crafted, Reckless tells the story of how Marele uncovers the truth about Jean Kay’s identity and motives by piecing together clues from their letters, her diaries and a stash of newspaper clippings, and how, in the process of telling his story, she ultimately makes peace with the reckless ghosts of her past.
