Life begins when you join the oil field. But there was life before that. JC challenged the highway stormtroopers of a Distant Queensland Town on a Daring Mission - Where a Thirst for Life Became overridden by the Power of Beer! Farm chores sure could be dull, and JC was bored beyond belief. He yearned for adventures in the outback - and adventures that would take him beyond the farthest shores to distant and icy landscapes. But JC got more than he bargained for when he was intercepted by a QLD police officer and given a cryptic ultimatum to leave a beautiful town operating under a dark and powerful authority. JC didn't know why this was, but he knew he had to save himself - and soon, because time was running out. Armed only with courage and with the skills taught to him by his father, JC was catapulted into the middle of the most dangerous deep-sea drilling platforms ever...and he was headed straight for a desperate encounter on the Russian Nogliki station many know as the Death Star!

In this “rhapsodic [and] stirring” nature memoir, an American woman recounts a season of herding cattle in the Australian Outback (Kirkus). Rafael de Grenade was thirteen years old when she began working on a rough-country mountain ranch in Arizona. But when she read about cattlemen working the far edges of the Australian outback, it sparked a dream far wilder than anything she had ever known. A little over a decade later she arrived on Stilwater Station with two shirts, two pairs of jeans, cowboy boots, and some doubt that she would ever go home. Inundated by monsoon floods in the winter, baked dry in the summer, and filled with deadly animals, Stilwater was an unlikely home for a cattle operation. But in the wilderness beyond the station roamed tens of thousands of cows, many entirely feral from long neglect. Rafael has been hired, along with a ragged crew of ringers and stockmen, to bring them in. Over a season they use helicopters, motorcycles, bullcatcher jeeps, horses, ropes, and knives to win Stilwater Station back from the wild, to say nothing of their intuition, strength, muscle, and wit.

In the tradition of Mailman of the Birdsville Track, The Man from Coolibah details the life of outback cattle property owner, helicopter muster operator and knockabout bloke Milton Jones. The youngest in a family of five, Milton Jones grew up on large properties in the outback. His father was a farm manager and so his early life was a world away from that of city kids. Milton left school in Queensland in his mid teens and moved back to the Northern Territory. Mustering was in his blood and so his first job was as a bullcatcher. Milton Jones is a man of his environment; tough and hardworking with a firm opinion on most things that he isn?t afraid to share. The story of how he bought Coolibah Station in 1988 in cash and the way he has built up his country empire is just one element of this book. For him, wrangling crocs, mustering cattle, fighting bush fires and riding rodeo are the norm. Over 500 km away from nearest city, Darwin, his life is lived on horseback, his days ruled by the sunlight. With the help of a seasonal workforce, plus his 42 choppers and a dozen or so horses, his business musters cattle from across the territory. The Man from Coolibah shows us what it is like to live in the never never and brings the Outback to life. For the men and women who live in Milton?s world, things are changing but the harshness and beauty of the outback stays the same.

As tough, spirited, warm and funny as the woman herself, From Strength to Strength is the inspirational story of Sara Henderson's extraordinary courage and determination. In 1959, Sara met American war hero and shipping magnate Charles Henderson III, and so began what she calls the world's most demanding, humiliating and challenging obstacle course any human could be expected to endure. Three years after their marriage, Charles presented Sara with her new home, a tin shack in a million acres of red dust. Bullo River. After twenty years of back-breaking work on this remote Northern Australian cattle station, Charlie's death revealed that Sara had not only been left with a floundering property, but also with a heart-breaking mountain of debt. With very little to lose, Sara and her daughters, Marlee and Danielle, took up the challenge of rebuilding Bullo River ... with such tremendous results that in 1991 Sara was named the Businesswoman of the Year. This best-selling autobiography of Sara's story has touched the hearts of people all over Australia. 'Everyone has a book in them, they say, but not everyone has the kind of story Sara Henderson tells, and tells well.' — THE BULLETIN

Cousineau’s wanderlust has driven him to visit nearly 100 countries as a backpacker, documentary filmmaker, travel writer, photographer, and art and literary tour leader. For him, travel gives us what his mentor Joseph Campbell called “the key to the realm of the muses.” As author of the best-selling travel book The Art of Pilgrimage, Cousineau continues to crisscross the world as a travel writer, filmmaker, and host of Global Spirit. The Book of Roads: Travel Stories from Michigan to Marrakech is the culmination of a lifetime of travel experiences, from the steel factories of Detroit to headhunting villages in the Philippines, the war-torn villages in the Balkans to the river roads of Canada once traversed by his voyageur ancestors. His rhapsodic travel stories place him in the league of fellow travelers who are also masterful writers, such as Pico Iyer, Jack Kerouac, Jan Morris, and Beryl Markham.
