Non-Fiction Book Reviews
1 June, 2008 It’s in Mombasa, Kenya, where Carl Cleves first experiences the state of musical ecstasy known as Tarab. 
1 June, 2008 Sex Lives of Australian Women is a compulsive read. It contains page after page of information about the sexual lives of thousands of women who participated in an anonymous survey. 
1 June, 2008 The battle to save Tasmania’s Franklin River from being dammed started off as a small state issue and morphed into a national controversy. 
1 June, 2008 This memoir will be enjoyed for its compelling honesty and the intense imagery used to describe complex subjects-cultural heritage, divided loyalties, and love-universal themes set in a region of great significance to many Australians. 
1 June, 2008 If you like reading cricket books, then you’ll love Glenn McGrath: Line and Strength. Ideal for a young cricketer who is looking to move up the grades, this book explains how a very shy Glenn McGrath lived in a caravan for many months when he moved to Sydney. 
1 June, 2008 Murder, deceit and corruption might seem to be more at home on the gangland streets of Melbourne than at the Queensland Cat Protection Society. 
1 June, 2008 Rachel Power’s The Divided Heart is a collection of interviews, in dialogue, with Australian artists who are also mothers. 
1 June, 2008 Cancer biographies are coming out thick and fast this year and Dear Eddie is another of these. Danny Russell (previously a journalist) has written this one a little differently though. 
1 June, 2008 Jim Sharman relays the story of his life rhythmically, like a play or film. 
1 June, 2008 Anyone familiar with the song 'Click go the Shears' will be aware of the role of shearers as a significant part of our national identity. 
1 May, 2008 There are few things a genuine book lover enjoys more than enthusing about their favourite books and authors. In this thoughtfully phrased and inspiring volume, former New South Wales Premier and current Dymocks board member Bob Carr is allowed to do just that for over 400 pages. 
1 May, 2008 A great deal of Judith Lucy’s successful stand-up shtick has centred around her crazy family and in particular her parents. 
1 May, 2008 The events that followed the death in custody of Mulrunji in Palm Island in 2004 became one of the more incendiary moments in Queensland politics of the last decade. 
1 May, 2008 Kay Danes, an Australian who was falsely arrested and detained for gem theft in Laos, has told her horrific battle of endurance in her previous book Deliver Us from Evil. 
1 May, 2008 Are Australians a bunch of knee-jerkers? I’m talking about people who have strong opinions on subjects they know nothing about. If you listen to talkback radio (or sit around my family dining table any evening,) then your answer would undoubtedly be yes! 
1 May, 2008 An absorbing read, Art Life Chooks is the story of Annette Hughes and her partner Geoffrey who move from Sydney to a farm in Noosa. Both of them seem to know fairly well what they are getting themselves into. 
1 May, 2008 There’s no doubt in my mind that this memoir is excellent. The prose is literary with a reflective tone, and I enjoyed the fact that this book is not structured with a blow-by-blow commentary of the author’s life. 
1 May, 2008 Do we really need another reporter’s memoir about Afghanistan? Well, yes—if the book in question has something original to offer. ABC Radio journalist Sally Cooper went to Afghanistan not to report on the war, but to train the people 
18 March, 2008 A book to appeal to animal lovers, Stanley and Sophie is about one woman’s journey after the death of her husband and the two dogs that join her along the way.

17 March, 2008 This is an essential reference work for anyone interested in Australian literature and Aboriginal culture. It is an outstanding collection which is a history of Aboriginal writing in English, a cultural record and a reflection on Aboriginal contact with White Australia. 
15 March, 2008 The title, Losing the Plot in Opera, sets a good scene for this book. Brian Castles-Onion is one of Australia’s best conductors and pianists. He regularly conducts for the Australian Opera and has also worked at the Metropolitan Opera in New York. 
14 March, 2008 There’s not much to say about honey is there? It’s sweet. It’s sticky. Bees like it. If, like me, you thought honey was little more than something to spread on your toast in the morning then Grace Pundyk’s The Honey Spinner will make you think again. 
23 February, 2008 The Young Widow’s Book of Home Improvement: A True Story of Love and Renovation is a beautiful memoir by Virginia Lloyd about beginning a relationship with, and her marriage to, John, and her life after he dies. Lloyd is only in her mid-30s when she is widowed, 
23 February, 2008 Australian Paula Constant has written a lifeaffirming, positive, inspiring and informative narrative of her emotional and physical journey to give up a teaching job in London and walk for three years with her husband 
23 February, 2008 Modern-day feminists, if they exist at all, look very different to the crinoline wearing, bra-burning feminists of old. They come in the form of pouting, Paris Hilton wannabes and Brazilian-waxed pole dancers |
