Adrian Franklin, TV presenter and author, takes us on a month-by-month journey through the quirky and often kooky world of those enthusiasts who pursue with passion their next treasures to be displayed, admired and loved.

It was not because I wanted to aid the war effort. It was not because I wanted to support the diggers. It was just because I wanted to have a bit of a look. This entertaining and eye-opening book is comedian Tom Gleesons account of what he saw when he went to entertain Australian troops in the Middle East. Showing that hes willing to do anything to get a laugh even get shot Tom does all kinds of stuff he would never usually be allowed to do: fire machine guns, drive tanks in a drag race, hang out in the Green Zone in Baghdad, and play poker with the SAS. Its a trip that changes his life.

It has also been kind of crazy: the initial line-up of contenders were a black man, a woman, an Italian-American, a POW held in solitary confinement for years, a millionaire Mormon, a Latino, a bass guitar playing former preacher and a Vegan who has seen a UFO. Vote for Me reveals what it takes to become president of the biggest democracy of them all. Written by Australian journalist and News Radio presenter John Barron, who happens to be a US politics junkie, Vote for Me is a fascinating, funny and, at times frightening, look at the way the USA picks its President.

This exciting and stimulating book looks back at turning points and crucial moments in Australian history. Rather than arguing that there have been forks on a pre-determined road, the book challenges us to think about other paths or better paths that might have led to different outcomes. It shows that a decisive event often becomes so only in retrospect and that what seemed like a major turning point at the time often had no real impact at all.

Sustainable Gardens introduces the reader to the historical context of the global, national and local environmental issues that confront us and examines the idea of sustainable living as a means of addressing these issues.

Go to the museums to understand its dead. When Fiona McGregor, writer and performance artist, travelled to Poland in 2006 as a festival participant, it was her first visit to Eastern Europe. She had a remarkable vantage point to observe new formations in old Europe: economic, political, and personal. Fiona gets caught up watching and participating in a culture in change, where people are struggling to live well enough under capitalism and where old ideas are expressed in the extraordinary cluster of public museums she found. This is a travelogue of Poland from street level.

He provides a nuanced look at group violence in primates and the ancient world, explores how the notions of chosen people, promised land and culture-bringing drove the colonising projects of early modern Europe, and questions the role that the Enlightenment may have played in laying the foundations for the Holocaust. Docker finally argues that there has been a long counter-tradition in Europe and the West that questions violence, and ultimately posits Gandhis philosophy of non-violence as a key alternative.

Most interest groups have a voice to government, but the arts record is unimpressive. Its continuing failure to get heard where it counts, and to turn its artistic, commercial and international successes into on-going government support, reflects the failure of practitioners to understand the political system. In a stern disputation aimed at shaking the arts into coherent action, Puplick, a former federal Shadow Minister for the Arts, analyses the problem and calls for industrial unity.
