Climate Change: The Facts 2017 contains 22 essays by internationally-renowned experts and commentators, including Dr Bjorn Lomborg, Dr Matt Ridley, Professor Peter Ridd, Dr Willie Soon, Dr Ian Plimer, Dr Roy Spencer, and literary giant Clive James. The volume is edited by Dr Jennifer Marohasy, Senior Fellow at the Institute of Public Affairs. Fourteen of the contributors currently hold or have held positions at a university or a scientific research organisation.
Dr Jennifer Marohasy said, "Climate Change: The Facts 2017 presents the case for climate change policies to be based on scientific evidence and it reveals how many of the potential policy responses to climate change are often wildly disproportionate compared to their potential cost."
"However, our understanding of how the climate operates is incomplete and it is critically important to challenge the view that the planet is facing a global warming catastrophe."
"Climate Change: The Facts 2017 addresses a range of issues including the science of climate change, the homogenisation and manipulation of temperature data, the economic and social impact of climate change policy proposals, and the way climate change is presented by the media and portrayed in popular culture," said Dr Marohasy.

For Enid Blyton, Old Thatch was "a wonderful place to write stories in." From her 400 year old home to the surrounding Thames Valley, where she set her most celebrated mystery series, this book is a gateway to some captivating places. Along river pathways and leafy lanes, around stately manors, snow-covered churches and country pubs, its journey will delight ENID BLYTON AT OLD THATCH is NOT another analysis of why her books still sell in their millions. Nor is it a politically-correct critique of golliwogs and the supposedly hidden lives of Noddy and Big Ears. This book is a celebration of place, of a beautiful village along the banks of the Thames 40 miles west of London, where Enid Blyton lived in a 400 year-old thatched house called "Old Thatch". Step back in time with Enid's daughter, Gillian Baverstock, to a childhood she remembered fondly. "Old Thatch" is now open to the public in spring and summer and its owners, Jacky and David Hawthorne have one of the best award-winning gardens in Britain. Enid Blyton also set one of her most exciting children's series, the Mystery stories, in the village and surrounding areas such as Marlow, Taplow and the ancient woodland, Burnham Beeches. Enid Blyton at Old Thatch is about escapism with a touch of history and fantasy. It is also a great travel guide to one of England's most green and pleasant landscapes. Enjoy it - life is too short to be serious all the time!

From the new man in Rome, Cardinal George Pell! AT a time when "the God question'' has rarely been as controversial, Test Everything, Hold Fast to What is Good puts the case that: "It is more reasonable to believe in God than to reject the hypothesis of God by appealing to chance. Goodness, truth and beauty call for an explanation as do the principles of mathematics, physics, and the purpose-driven miracles of biology which run through our universe.'' Regardless of whether readers share his values and outlook, Cardinal George Pell has given them a provocative incitement to think and wonder about life's biggest questions that confront us all, sooner or later. Connor Court is proud to publish the Cardinal's new book, a collection of 80 pieces that are incisive, often unpredictable, sometimes sensitive, occasionally hard-hitting, always engaging and never, ever dull. Readers will feel closer to Christ, and feel that they know Him a little better after exploring His life, teachings and what they mean for our lives and our loved ones in the cyber age.

In an age of ever increasing litigation we have become highly tuned to the need for justice. But is there room for mercy? In this book Fr Ken Barker argues passionately that without mercy justice will not be complete. He makes a compelling case for mercy through the use of stories about remarkable human beings who, faced with hurt and violence, have chosen to forgive rather than to seek vengeance. He reminds us that mercy is the highest quality in the heart of God, and hence the most liberating attitude for any human heart. This book provides much needed teaching on forgiveness. With great clarity and sensitivity Fr Barker addresses the deep questions that arise in our hearts when we have been the victims of violence, or when we have been deeply hurt by a betrayal of trust. "Why forgive when a grave injustice has been done against me?" "How can I forgive when they don't deserve it?" "Does forgiving someone mean I have to forget?" "When I forgive do I have to excuse the one who offended me?" "How can I forgive when I feel hatred in my heart?" "Why has God allowed this to happen to me?" The gospel principles enunciated here provide a sure pointer towards freedom for all who have agonised with these questions. The stories offered here of those who have found this freedom are a light in the darkness, and an inspiration towards the highest calling of any human being - to have mercy and to forgive.

His Name Is Mercy

Answering the Anti-Catholic Challenge is an emphatic reply to an anti-Catholic attack launched in 2007 by Ray Galea, a former Catholic now minister in the Anglican Archdiocese of Sydney. Galea's book, Nothing in my hand I bring, was a public and systematic attempt to debunk "every 'distinctive' teaching of Roman Catholicism" for allegedly undermining "the person and work of the Lord Jesus" (p. 20). Written initially in anticipation of World Youth Day '08, Galea's book has become a best seller among Protestants both in Australia and overseas. In response, ten Catholics have banded together to provide a virtual word-by-word response to each and every one of Galea's claims, establishing in the process the Biblical basis for all the principal teachings of Catholicism while exposing the deficiency of Galea's book. Answering the Anti-Catholic Challenge is an essential resource for all Catholics who wish to strengthen their knowledge of their faith and win over the sincere and good-willed to the fullness of Christ's truth.

This midlife journey coincided with events that swept the world in the sixties and seventies: the death of President Kennedy, May '68 in France, the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia, the Vietnam War, and the spiritual revolution caused by Vatican II. ______ 'With remarkable honesty and lucidity, Gerald describes the impact of the Council on his generation of young priests. He pulls no punches as he narrates the challenge to his thinking and calling to celibacy. This story could easily have been sanitized. Thankfully he has not given into that temptation. He has presented a fascinating and detailed autobiography of a fruitful and fulfilled life'. -Lord Carey of Clifton, Former Archbishop of Clifton. ______ Author or co-author of sixty published books, in 2006 Gerald O'Collins was created a Companion of the General Division of the Order of Australia (AC), the highest civil honour granted through the Australian government.
