Book Description
In this revealing insight into the lives of young women, initially published in 1998, contributors from across Australia (aged between 12 and 20) write about their lives, hopes, happiness and pain. Powerful accounts fill the pages as well as short poems and diary extracts. We learn of love affairs, rejections, inspiring friends, failed relationships, uplifting struggles to achieve their dreams or be accepted, the complexities of family life, the struggle to understand their sexuality, the quest for independence, and stories of overcoming obstacles and discrimination. In addition to the text, other highlights include the wonderfully droll humour of Judy Horacek's cartoons as well as photographs and illustrations from young women. In this second edition, a new introduction helps position the book for a new generation of readers.

Book Description
The Golden Gate Bridge is one of the most beautiful and most photographed structures in the world. It’s also the most deadly. Since it opened in 1937, more than 1,500 people have died jumping off the bridge, making it the top suicide site on earth. It’s also the only international landmark without a suicide barrier. Weaving drama, tragedy, and politics against the backdrop of a world-famous city, The Final Leap is the first book ever written about Golden Gate Bridge suicides. John Bateson leads us on a fascinating journey that uncovers the reasons for the design decision that led to so many deaths, provides insight into the phenomenon of suicide, and examines arguments for and against a suicide barrier. He tells the stories of those who have died, the few who have survived, and those who have been affected—from loving families to the Coast Guard, from the coroner to suicide prevention advocates.

Book Description
John Cabot (ca.1680-1742), founder of the Cabot family in America, immigrated from the Isle of Jersey to Salem, Massachusetts about 1700. Descendants and relatives lived chiefly in New England, with some family members in New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Louisiana and elsewhere. The main family business was merchandising and shipping all over the world, and there were family representatives in Europe, Africa, Latin America, Asia and elsewhere (particularly during the nineteenth century). Includes Cabot ancestry on the Isle of Jersey to about 1470 A.D., as well as data about the Italian explorer John Cabot (who sailed to America in 1497), and the Cabots or Chabots of France to about 1110 A.D.
