This book is a unique approach to the history of Australia told through the images which have appeared on Australian souvenir china specifically commissioned by councils, businesses and individuals. It is the story of the images and their creators. Many of the images commemorate not only important events, such the opening of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, but also the story of cities and towns and the events and people important to them: the building of a bridge or a dam; the unveiling of a war memorial; the naming of a town clock after the local doctor; or, a memorial to the early cane farmers and cutters. These are fascinating stories and in many ways represent the people's history. The book also tells the story of the overseas china companies, from whom the china was commissioned, and the problems many of them faced through occupation and war. It also describes the work of the potter's printers and gives information on the china making process, the china marks used by the different companies and the dates of manufacture. One of the joys of reading this book, is in discovering how the finished item, when it arrived in Australia, often differed from the original Australian image because of the lack of knowledge on the part of overseas based potters' printers. For example, one piece, showing the Coat of Arms of the City of Melbourne has mistaken the image of a spouting whale for a fox, hardly a symbol of this country! Plating Up History is not only for those interested in Australian history, or Australian souvenir china but those who want to start an affordable collection, trivia buffs or who just want to have a quirky travel guide when travelling around Australia.

Emily is a woman with a dark past. She was found abandoned on a park bench in Glasgow, Scotland when she was only two years old. Being unable to talk or explain herself meant that growing up within the Scottish welfare system was depressingly harsh. This all changes the day a young social worker named Kim comes into seven-year-old Emily’s life. Kim suspects that there is definitely more to Emily than the workers in the social system have surmised. A suspicion that Emily is no ordinary sufferer of domestic trauma. Emily, through Kim, finds hope, guidance and the chance of a normal life. But when a teenaged Emily becomes a victim of assault, leading to the death of her attackers, it fires off an urgent need to find out who she actually is. Through the first person accounts of a social worker, a teenager, a gymnastics coach, an investigative agent and a sickly, elderly man, we observe Emily’s often-perilous journey to discover her true identity and what led to her abandonment in the first place—what she eventually finds may be truly extraordinary.

From the rugged Australian bush to the posh highlife of Newport Beach, California, Aussie Journeyman tells the story of a young Australian boy with dreams of becoming a professional tennis star. It was the early 1970s, fresh out of high school when Alvin Gardiner set off to take on the international tennis tour. From this humble beginning it was hard to foresee what crazy and at times life-risking twists and turns his life would take. With Open tennis no longer an amateur sport, the professional tour was only one year old. Alvin played his way through some 65 countries around the globe on six continents, making it on the big stages at Wimbledon, the Australian and US Opens. Even though it was an adventurous journey, it wasn't always smooth traveling. There were many weeks on the road, especially in Europe, when pockets were empty with no prospects or plans of the next meal ticket. Alvin played against some of the biggest stars of that era including Borg, Conners, Nastase and Vilas. He also battled the precocious John McEnroe, in John's very first Grand Slam singles match at the 1977 French Open. Dubbed by Mac himself as the "Aussie Journeyman." After his twelve years of battling it out on the circuit and living the gypsy life, he settled in one of the most exclusive cities in America. Alvin then went on to coaching and continued his career on the senior tour becoming World Champion and #1 in the over 35 singles division.

Often what can appear to be a calamity to us can in fact be the end of a huge life lesson. The unique lives you experience during your Soul's journey towards enlightenment are for you to learn from, and they are a rich and necessary part of our growth. Elizabeth Taylor-Wey expertly delves into the labyrinth of the phenomenal, all-powerful Subconscious as she skillfully brings her groundbreaking theories on Past Life Regression to life. The sum of all our fears will invariably draw us towards sobering and complex misunderstandings, and blind us to the flawless and magical mysteries of life. However, by revealing a past life and communicating with the Subconscious, you will walk through a golden gateway of potentials and possibilities. Past Life Regression is a bold and fearless exploration into the fundamental core of your existence, one that will hopefully ignite a fire of hope within you and generate a deeper understanding of why you are here on this boot camp we call Earth. "To meet Elizabeth Taylor is to immediately learn that she is warm, sensitive, and a gifted intuitive. One is immediately impressed with her caring and insight. But it is her Being that is the most important word. That word is who she is, a worker of Love. Look within and see." Dr Merlin Mather LCPC, TFTdx--Past Life Regression Therapist "Elizabeth Taylor has provided a thought-provoking guide to navigating the realms of Past Life Regression and the workings on the Subconscious mind. Her compelling journey takes the reader by the hand and offers a profound insight into the nature of reality. This book is a fine example for anyone exploring the Soul's purpose in this life." Lawrence Ellyard, CEO--International Institute for Complementary Therapists, iict.com.au "I consider myself truly blessed to have had the opportunity to experience Elizabeth's wisdom, kindness and powerful way of working. She takes people to where they need to be in that moment to provide the gift of insight, growth and connection to the Subconscious. If all of us had a little bit of Elizabeth in our lives, our glorious boot camp might become just that little bit easier!" Vanessa Cash--Director, Shift Performance Australia Asia
