Win: New books in March
Discover more about our new releases and how you can win a copy.
Get lost in captivating fiction, discover what economic and social lessons we can learn from around the world, and examine the relationships at play in the Indo-Pacific.
Award-winning author Anna Goldsworthy makes her highly anticipated fiction debut with this captivating portrait of domestic life, following the ever-practical Ruby through marriage and motherhood. Described as ‘a quiet masterpiece’ (Alex Miller) and ‘a subtle, elegant portrait of one woman’s life and loves as she grows and adapts to a changing world’ (Ceridwen Dovey), the novel brings a family to life over seven decades. Charming and sharply observed, Melting Moments is, like Ruby herself, a gentle powerhouse.
We don’t have to look far to tackle humanity’s most pressing concerns. Solved! is a much-needed dose of optimism in an atmosphere of doom and gloom, a toolkit for those seeking social change. Policy adviser Andrew Wear examines what has worked around the world and how we can apply the lessons at home, from renewable energy to a shorter working week. Informative, accessible and revelatory, it shows the solutions exist – we just need to know where to find them.
Written by a recognised expert and regional policy insider, Contest for the Indo-Pacific is the definitive guide to tensions in the region, deconstructing the power dynamics at play and delineating potential pathways to limit the conflict. It deftly weaves together history, geopolitics, military strategy, economics, games and propaganda to address a vital question: how can China’s dominance be prevented without war? C. Raja Mohan calls it ‘a rich and rewarding read for anyone interested in a region that promises to define the geopolitics of the twenty-first century’.
