Book Description
The year is 1980, born and bred Sydney girl Katherine Brae has a yearning she doesn't fully understand. After the death of her beloved father, and the end of a torrid love affair that was terminated in an unexpected and spectacular style, Kate decides it's time to leave her routine bank job, cut her losses, and start afresh as far away from her old life as possible. Leaving behind the restaurants, discos, and constant buzz and excitement of city life, Kate sets out in her small MG sports car on a solitary adventure to the Australian outback. Ill prepared for the rigors of station work at Katana Downs, she struggles with the heat, isolation, and the back-breaking work required of her as a jillaroo. Adopted by one of the station’s dogs Paddy, a strangely unique red kelpie, and under the ever watchful eye of her employer Frank Noble, a wiry, sun-hardened and seemingly humourless bushy, Kate struggles and falters time and again. Eventually though, she acquires new skills, and discovers abilities she never in her wildest dreams believed she possessed. After being sent to a neighbouring property to help with the muster, Kate befriends Dave and Julie Anderson, owners of Crompton Downs. The adventure of a life time falls apart when Kate unwittingly finds herself drawn in to a whirlwind of emotions and secrets that span decades and lead to a seemingly unfathomable murder.

Book Description
Originally written in 1936 by two young Cambridge Fellows, A Guide to the Classics is a light-hearted manual on how to pick the Derby winner. However, as the tongue-in-cheek title suggested, there is more to the book than meets the eye, especially as one of the young dons went on to become, according to his 1990 Telegraph obituary, 'the greatest political philosopher in the Anglo-Saxon tradition since Mill - or even Burke'. The book takes the abstraction out of the Derby by attacking the systems which had been developed by generations of 'form' experts. It exposes theoretical solutions as fraudulent – instead it applies hard-headed empirical and historical analysis. Oakeshott went on to apply this methodology to his famous critique of 'rationalism' in politics. This long-awaited edition of Griffith and Oakeshott's classic text includes a new preface and foreword by horse racing journalist and author Sean Magee, and political commentator Peter Oborne.

Book Description
What strength of evidence is required for knowledge? Ordinarily, we often claim to know something on the basis of evidence which doesn't guarantee its truth. For instance, one might claim to know that one sees a crow on the basis of visual experience even though having that experience does not guarantee that there is a crow (it might be a rook, or one might be dreaming). As a result, those wanting to avoid philosophical scepticism have standardly embraced "fallibilism": one can know a proposition on the basis of evidence that supports it even if the evidence doesn't guarantee its truth. Despite this, there's been a persistent temptation to endorse "infallibilism", according to which knowledge requires evidence that guarantees truth. For doesn't it sound contradictory to simultaneously claim to know and admit the possibility of error? Infallibilism is undergoing a contemporary renaissance. Furthermore, recent infallibilists make the surprising claim that they can avoid scepticism. Jessica Brown presents a fresh examination of the debate between these two positions. She argues that infallibilists can avoid scepticism only at the cost of problematic commitments concerning evidence and evidential support. Further, she argues that alleged objections to fallibilism are not compelling. She concludes that we should be fallibilists. In doing so, she discusses the nature of evidence, evidential support, justification, blamelessness, closure for knowledge, defeat, epistemic akrasia, practical reasoning, concessive knowledge attributions, and the threshold problem.
