Turning his back on violence after surviving a Sydney shoot out, Longy realises he has a very special gift, taught to him by indigenous tribes in the jungles of Vietnam: he is able to heal people. His hands are his trade and his client list reads like a "who's who" of celebrities. From movie stars (Keanu Reeves) to millionaires (Frank Lowy), models (Elle Macpherson) to media magnates (Rupert Murdoch), Longy's abilities are much in demand, and his story will inspire many.

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.\nThe 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.\nMilton 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.\nTHE 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.

Between 1737 and 1746, James Knight--a merchant, planter, and sometime Crown official and legislator in Jamaica--wrote a massive two-volume history of the island. The first volume provided a narrative of the colony's development up to the mid-1740s, while the second offered a broad survey of most aspects of Jamaican life as it had developed by the third and fourth decades of the eighteenth century. Completed not long before his death in the winter of 1746-47 and held in the British Library, this work is now published for the first time. Well researched and intelligently critical, Knight's work is not only the most comprehensive account of Jamaica's ninety years as an English colony ever written; it is also one of the best representations of the provincial mentality as it had emerged in colonial British America between the founding of Virginia and 1750. Expertly edited and introduced by renowned scholar Jack Greene, this volume represents a colonial Caribbean history unique in its contemporary perspective, detail, and scope.

Six Twitter poets showcase their work in this diverse anthology.From James Knight's 13-tweet preface:6. Poetry has been given a lifeline by online social networking. The private and personal has become the public and universal.7. All of the poets in this volume publish and collaborate on Twitter. Our words thrash and leap through the rapids of the timelines.8. People don't usually have time for poetry. But poems popping up in timelines give instant sensation, gratification.9. The tweet is the sonnet for the 21st Century. If a sonnet embodies elegant compression, a tweet is a mind-expanding miniature.10. The tweet is the building block of many of the poems in this book. In some cases it's obvious, in others less so.11. The poets in this anthology are diverse, but we share a playful attitude to words and an interest in hallucinatory subjectivity.12. We come from the UK, the USA, Mexico, Australia. The internet brought us together, made us virtually a movement.
