Silverdale Books, Great Britain, 2002. Hardcover (Printed Boards). Very Good Condition. The submarine revolutionized naval warfare, progressing from the crude, steam-driven craft of the American Civil War to the silent nuclear machines that can cruise for months underwater without surfacing -- only limited by the endurance of their crews -- and carry intercontinental missiles mounting multiple nuclear warheads. Submarines and Deep-Sea Vehicles traces the history of these vessels, starting with the earliest submersible craft, to the stealthy nuclear giants of the modern age. Since the end of programs for the exploration and exploitation of space, man has turned his attention to a frontier much closer to home, the ocean. This is a highly illustrated examination of the remarkable technology that has been developed to enable man to explore a hidden world tens of thousands of feet deep, in conditions just as extreme as those found in space. The sea offers man numerous resources and is the medium for a… Read More

Allen & Unwin, Australia, 2019. Softcover. Good Condition. 'Will I ever really belong to this country? As a Chinese Australian? As a non-Indigenous Australian?... I was thirty-two years old and barely knew the country of my birth. It was time to change that.' What happens when a 32-year-old first generation Australian woman decides to chuck in a dream job, pack a sleeping bag and tent, and hit the long, dusty road for six months? Thirty-thousand kilometres later, Monica Tan had the answer. In mid-2016, Monica left Sydney unsure of her place in this country. As a Chinese-Australian city-slicker she couldn't feel more distant from powerful Australian mythologies like the Digger, the Drover's Wife and Clancy of the Overflow. More importantly, she wondered how she could ever truly belong to a land that has been the spiritual domain of Indigenous Australians for 60,000 plus years. Stranger Country is the blow-by-blow account of the six months Monica drove and camped her way through… Read More

hachette, Australia, 2020. Trade Paperback. Very Good Condition. 'Ever since I was thirteen years old, all I wanted to do was perform. It was an unusual dream for a kid from the Northern Territory to have ... what I wanted for my life was a world away from what people knew and loved about the "Top End".
