Book Description
Keeping the Peace Volume IV, like its predecessors, shows how fortunate we are — in Queensland as in other Australian states — to have a non-political, non-military system of law enforcement, with highly trained officers ready to serve the community and impartially enforce the laws made by our representatives in parliament. With this in mind, it’s very easy to lose sight of the fact that every day police officers put their own lives on the line to ensure public safety. Keeping the Peace is really their story, in their own words. Laurie Pointing, the editor and compiler of this volume, started his working life as a station hand on a western cattle property before joining the Queensland Police Service in December, 1958 and rising to the rank of Assistant Commissioner. Following a police career spanning almost 35 years, and with several successful books already to his credit, Laurie has now used his wealth of experience to wield an editorial pen and bring together this collection of personal stories from Queensland Police Officers.

Book Description
A reader's companion for Tolstoy's epic novel, War and Peace, inspired by the online book club led by Yiyun Li. For the writer Yiyun Li, whenever life has felt uncertain, War and Peace has been the novel she turns to. In March 2020, as the pandemic tightened its grip, Li and A Public Space launched #TolstoyTogether, a War and Peace book club, on Twitter and Instagram, gathering a community (that came to include writers such as Joyce Carol Oates, Garth Greenwell, and Carl Phillips) for 85 days of prompts, conversation, succor, and pleasure. It was an experience shaped not only by the time in which they read but also the slow, consistent rhythm of the reading. And the extraordinary community that gathered for a moment each day to discuss Tolstoy, history, and the role of art in a time like this. Tolstoy Together captures that moment, and offers a guided, communal experience for past and new readers, lovers of Russian literature, and all those looking for what Li identifies as "his level-headedness and clear-sightedness offer[ing] a solidity during a time of duress.

Book Description
"Andrew Jackson is one of the most critical and controversial figures in American history. A dominant actor on the American scene in the period between the Revolution and Civil War, he stamped his name first on a mass political movement and then an era. At the same time Jackson's ascendancy accelerated the dispossession and death of Native Americans and spurred the expansion of slavery. 'The Papers of Andrew Jackson' is a project to collect and publish Jackson's entire extant literary record. The project is now producing a series of seventeen volumes that will bring Jackson's most important papers to the public in easily readable form."--
