Paperback. Condition: Very Good. 'When the Australian team talks about playing aggressively we are committing ourselves to playing hard. There's nothing given and there's nothing asked to be given.' - RICKY PONTING OCTOBER 6 2007 The Australian cricket team's program for 2007-08 was as hectic as ever featuring the ICC World Twenty20 and matches against Sri Lanka India New Zealand and the West Indies. As well many of the Australian players were involved in the inaugural season of the Indian Premier League. Yet when the season began no one could have imagined it would generate the headlines it did. Much of this coverage came from the acrimonious battles between Australia and India both in a one-day series in India and then in the Tests in Australia that followed. Ricky Ponting was confronted with a series of controversies that none of his predecessors as Australian captain had faced and now in Captain's Diary 2008 he explains his side of the story. Many players including Ponting who are more used to being treated as heroes were suddenly cast as villains. Did they really deserve the level of criticism that came their way? The Australian team has changed greatly in the past two years. Having lost a number of champions in 2007 a few more stars -- most notably Adam Gilchrist -- retired in 2008 and here Ponting pays tribute. He also traces the astounding rise of Twenty20 and offers his view as to where this exciting new form of cricket might take the game he loves. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Winner of the 2006 Pulitzer Prize For Fiction. From the author of the acclaimed YEAR OF WONDERS, an historical novel and love story set during a time of catastrophe, on the front lines of the American Civil War. Acclaimed author Geraldine Brooks gives us the story of the absent father from Louisa May Alcott's LITTLE WOMEN - and conjures a world of brutality, stubborn courage and transcendent love. An idealistic abolitionist, March has gone as chaplain to serve the Union cause. But the war tests his faith not only in the Union - which is also capable of barbarism and racism - but in himself. As he recovers from a near-fatal illness, March must reassemble and reconnect with his family, who have no idea of what he has endured. A love story set in a time of catastrophe, March explores the passions between a man and a woman, the tenderness of parent and child, and the life-changing power of an ardently held belief.

He went on to become the greatest pastoral landholder in modern history, acquiring a legendary reputation both at home and abroad as the Cattle King. Kidman was much more than a grazier. In addition to his many successful business ventures and his contributions to the war effort, he was driven by a grand plan for the remote arid areas of Australia. this kept him locked in a battle with the land - and against drought.
