Book Description
In this gripping short story collection, Pajalic depicts working-class characters in all their gutsiness and glory. Featuring animals in most stories as a motif for grief and hope, Pajalic alternates between tender stories of survival and the gritty underbelly of the Melbourne’s Western suburbs. Even when his characters are shady and flawed, morality and conscience shine through. Drawing on his own experiences, Pajalic recreates first-hand the reality of coming to Australia as a refugee because of war and persecution. While many of the stories focus on the experience of Bosnian diaspora, it also tells the universal story of the refugee experience exploring homesickness, loss, grief, cultural shock, and making a new home in a landscape completely different to where you come from. ‘Raw, authentic and compelling, these stories of refugees' generational trauma and pain also honour the resilience and determination of the characters. Bracing and rewarding reading.' Paddy O'Reilly author of Other Houses 'Reminiscent of Carver, Pajalic’s stories are sharp, direct and austere. A fascinating read.' Ennis Cehic author of Sadvertising 'Like Chekhov who thinks that for a writer nothing should be unclean, Fikret takes us to murky places where English is broken and pit bulls are prized; bodies are ravaged by manual labour and generosity abounds as often as brutality. Humanity there is uncovered, revealing itself to be as instinctual and capable of ferocity and sacrifice as the many animals that populate Fikret’s stories. In Complication Fikret uncovers the origins of violence with unflinching insight and unwavering compassion.’ Lee Kofman author of The Writer Laid Bare

Book Description
The poems in this collection are shocking in their clarity, simplicity and power to move the reader. The author, when asked 'what kind of poetry he writes, ' came up with a term-"reductive". The author has, as his children have reminded him, 'lived a life'. His travels have taken him all over the world, to Mali, Bahia, Mississippi, Morocco, Kenya, Cuba, Italy, Sardinia, Louisiana, South Central Los Angeles to name a few of his destinations, where he has spent time with 'frequently disreputable people in occasionally disreputable places'! He has spent time in juke joints, fish fries, goat roasts, danced barefoot on the Sahara Desert, and whirled on the beaches of Morocco to the trance of Gnawa music. The poems reflect a joy, a curiosity and love of what is best, most authentic in people and cultures all over the planet. His love of the mysterious A and the powerfully erotic love poems to her are icing on the proverbial cake!

Book Description
The gods may have been restored to their rightful seats of power—but the end of the Time of Troubles does not mark the end of all strife Although the gods have regained their powers and no longer walk in the mortal world, there is still little peace between them. When their deeply engrained power struggles erupt once more, ex-comrades Mystra—formerly known as Midnight and recently elevated to godhood—and Cyric are bound together in conflict. Cyric, now the god of strife, murder, and the dead, has become even more obsessed with power and revenge. No longer content with just the Tablets of Fate, he wants the Forgotten Realms all to himself—and to rule them in the name of evil. Only Mystra, the new goddess of magic, has the ability to defeat him and restore the balance that has been lost.

Book Description
Sapper Derek Clarke tells the true and gripping tale of his journey to the front line and fight against the Japanese Imperial Army and life as a Prisoner of War in Changi, Taiwan and Tokyo prison camps 1941-1945.In moving description and fine original sketches he reveals the daily work and characters that make up his world during this period which included three and a half years' imprisonment. Often humorous but never bitter in spite of the beatings and deprivations, Derek brings home to the ordinary reader a sense of the amazing will to survive that emerged under appalling conditions and of the spirit that kept the men going under forced labour conditions. Artist Derek, along with his musical friend Harry Berry, contributed much material for prison camp shows that helped keep up the spirits of the 600 plus prisoners from many countries held at Omori prison camp in Tokyo 1943-1945. This is the "sister" book to "My Darling Wife: The true wartime letters and diaries of Harry Berry to Gwen 1940-1945" which covers the same period.

Book Description
This book provides a foundation in the burgeoning field of nanoengineering. That is, the exploitation (for the benefit of society) of materials and physical effects that occur on the scale of 1 to 100 nanometers. With an emphasis on the effects of size confinement and the forces which arise between molecules, nanoparticles, and surfaces, the book includes chapters on light–matter interactions (especially of metallic and semiconducting nanocrystals), organic nanostructures, lithography and nanomanufacturing, methods of spectroscopy and visualization, and applications in energy, environmental science, and human health. Written by Darren Lipomi PhD, a Professor of Nanoengineering at UC San Diego, along with Robert Ramji, the book is written in an engaging, jargon-free style. Its use of video supplements and cache of 150 solved problems meets students’ needs regardless of their background of prior courses, yet it contains sufficient depth to satisfy the most curious beginners to the subject. The approach follows the model of teaching from the top down. That is to provide a framework of concepts into which the content of future courses on nanoengineering, nanotechnology, or nanoscience will fit. The text also provides an inviting introduction to the field for students in chemistry, physics, biology, and a broad range of engineering disciplines.
