The Autobiography of an Australian Legend Ponting: At the Close of Play Ricky Ponting

This November, Ricky Ponting, one of the greatest cricketers to have worn the baggy green, will publish his end-of-career autobiography. With his customary honesty and candour, Ponting looks back on a lifetime at the crease – from childhood prodigy to the highs and lows of his extraordinary international career. But beyond the triumphs, scandals and his own private struggle to maintain his later form, this remarkable autobiography will offer

rare insights into an elite sporting career, with Ponting’s reflections on the greats of the game and the lessons learned at the helm of Australia’s cricket team. This autobiography of a very private man, and one of our most public figures, will resonate with lovers of cricket as well as anyone who strives to reach the top of their chosen field.

Off the field, Ricky and his wife Rianna have raised in excess of $10 million since 2002 to help young Australians and their families beat cancer. In 2008 Ricky and Rianna established the Ponting Foundation to provide focus to their fundraising efforts. Ricky’s philanthropic efforts and sporting achievements were recognised when Ricky was awarded an Order of Australia honour in 2012. Sales of this book contribute to the work of the Ponting Foundation.

Rob Mundle

From the bestselling author of Fatal Storm, Bligh and Flinders, comes a major new biography exploring the life and travels of one of the greatest maritime explorers of all time. Over three remarkable voyages of discovery into the Pacific in the late eighteenth century, Captain James Cook unravelled the centuries-old mystery surrounding the existence of Terra Australis Incognita – the great south land – he became the first explorer to circumnavigate New Zealand and prove it comprised two main islands, he discovered the Hawaiian Islands, and much more.

Pursuing a teenager’s dream that evolved from a chance encounter in a small seafront village on the east coast of England, Cook achieved legendary status among all who explored and mapped the world. Through a combination of hard-won skills as a seafarer, the talents of a self-taught navigator and surveyor, and an exceptional ability to lead and care for his men, Cook contributed to changing the shape of the world map more than anyone else. Rob Mundle’s epic biography is a must for lovers of adventure and the romance of sailing.

We Are Water Wally Lamb

A sweeping, epic novel from one of America’s most beloved writers and two times Oprah’s Book Club author Wally Lamb, We Are Water pulls you into the emotional centre of the Oh family – divorced parents Annie and Orion and their adult children, Andrew, Ariane and Marisa. Annie’s impending second marriage, to her art dealer partner Viveca, turns out to be merely the catalyst that 9780732298111 I $29.99 I 560pp I Trade Paperback I HarperCollins I Fiction Publicity Contact: Jane Finemore I [email protected] 06 NOVEMBER 2013

uncovers old wounds and renews past anger. An intricate and layered portrait of marriage and family, childhood trauma, adult responsibility, race and art, We Are Water is suffused with compassion, big-heartedness and humour. Perfectly poised at the apex between Jodi Picoult and Jonathan Franzen, Lamb digs deep into the complexities of the human heart to explore the ways in which we all live, love, and find meaning in our lives.

Joanna Trollope and Jane Austen are a match made in literary heaven. In this much anticipated re-working, Trollope moves the Dashwood family from classic to contemporary. Trollope casts Sense & Sensibility in a fresh new light, retelling a coming-of-age story about young love and heartbreak, and how when it comes to money, some things never change …

‘It’s hugely exciting to attempt the reworking of one of the best novels written by one of our greatest novelists. This is a project which requires consummate respect above all else; not an emulation, but a tribute.’ Joanna Trollope ‘Jane Austen's story and Joanna Trollope's voice make the perfect marriage. I loved every page. It's witty and fresh, whilst completely respecting the original, timeless story. What a delight!’ Sophie Kinsella

How did America become one single nation? In this monumental history, the bestselling author of Atlantic examines the breathtaking achievements that unified both the citizens and the regions of America. Following in the footsteps of America’s most esteemed explorers, thinkers and innovators, Simon Winchester ponders whether the historic work of uniting the States has succeeded, and to what degree. His examination includes Lewis and Clark’s Corps of Discovery Expedition to the Pacific Coast, the builders of the first transcontinental telegraph, and the powerful civil engineer behind the Interstate Highway System. Some of these men will be more familiar than others, yet they all played a pivotal role in creating today’s United States.

Who Discovered America?

Gavin Menzies and Ian Hudson

Building on the startling revelations of his previous blockbuster 1421, iconic historian Gavin Menzies has uncovered astounding new evidence that calls into question everything about mankind’s occupancy of the American continents – from theories of ancient man’s initial migration, to Columbus’s significant voyage in 1492. Menzies offers a revolutionary new alternative to the theory that humans crossed a land bridge connecting Asia and North America during the last Ice Age. Instead, he claims ancient seafaring voyages brought travellers to the Americas thousands of years prior. This book will be Menzies’s definitive statement – a summation of all his research plus exciting new findings. With breakthrough evidence, Who Discovered America? has astonishing implications for the history of all mankind.

The rise of smartphones and tablets has changed the world. At the centre of this are Apple and Google, two massively successful corporations whose philosophies, leaders and commercial acumen have steamrolled the competition. Yet they are locked in a bitter feud: brazenly poaching each other’s employees, bidding up the price of each other’s acquisitions for spite, and forging alliances with major players such as Microsoft in pursuit of market dominance. Journalist Fred Vogelstein has reported on this rivalry for more than a decade and has had rare insider access to the offices and boardrooms where the deals, lawsuits and allegations have been made. In Dogfight, Vogelstein provides a vivid, engaging and timely narrative with never-before-heard details. This is not just about what devices we’ll be using next – it’s about who will control online content and where the future lies for media, communication and information around the globe. ebook credit for imprint page:

Lavishly illustrated and beautifully designed, A Singular Vision is the definitive biography of the fascinating and influential Harry Seidler – Australia's pre-eminent modernist architect. A key figure in international modern architecture, Seidler almost single-handedly established post-war design in Australia, essentially creating the look of modern urban Australia.

Many of us know his buildings – the Horizon, Australia Square, Blues Point Tower to name a few – but not his fascinating story. Born in Austria to an affluent Jewish family, his world fell apart when as a young teenager he had to flee the looming Nazi threat. Without family and without any English, he escaped to England only to be interned as an enemy alien during World War II, and sent to Canada. During his time in the camp, he virtually taught himself architecture and later went on to study in Canada and at Harvard in the United States.

His parents moved to Australia in 1948 and lured Seidler to Sydney with an invitation to design a house for them. Today, that home – Rose Seidler House in Wahroonga – is a Historic Houses Trust museum and represents the epitome of the new Australian modern domestic architecture. Rose Seidler House was soon followed by a succession of innovative designs for everything from houses and cemeteries to a yacht, as well as ambitious office towers, such as MLC Centre in Sydney and Brisbane’s Riverside Centre, which redefined Australia's skyline. A Singular Vision is a stunning celebration of one man's life, his influence, his collaborations (with everybody from master photographer Max Dupain to engineering maestro Pier Luigi Nervi) and his many towering achievements. Helen O'Neill is a journalist and author whose work has been published internationally. Her bestselling, award-winning biography Florence Broadhurst – Her Secret and Extraordinary Lives showcasing the life and art of the brilliant wallpaper designer was published in Australia, the UK and the USA. 9780732296742 I $49.99 I 384pp I Hardback I HaperCollins I Non-Fiction Publicity Contact: Kelly Fagan I [email protected] EVERYBODY LOVES A GOOD STORY 11
