Every once in a while nature gives us insight into the human condition by providing us with a unique case whose special properties illuminate the species as a whole. Christopher is such an example. Despite disabilities which mean that everyday tasks are burdensome chores, Christopher is a linguistic wonder who can read, write, speak, understand and translate more than twenty languages. On some tests he shows a severely low IQ, hinting at ineducability, yet his English language ability indicates an IQ in excess of 120 (a level more than sufficient to enter university). Christopher is a savant, someone with an island of startling talent in a sea of inability. This book documents his learning of British Sign Language, casting light on the modularity of cognition, the modality neutrality of the language faculty, the structure of memory, the grammar of signed language and the nature of the human mind. - Inbunden, Engelska, 2010

It was the most witnessed execution in US history.On the evening of July 11, 1864, six men were marched into Andersonville Prison, surrounded by a cordon of guards, the prison commandant, and a Roman Catholic priest. The six men were handed over to a small execution squad, and while more than 26,000 Union prisoners looked on, the six were executed by hanging. The six, part of a larger group known as the Raiders, were killed, not by their Rebel enemies but by their fellow prisoners, for the crimes of robbing and assaulting their own comrades.Who were these six men? Were they really guilty of the crimes they were accused of? Were they really, as some prisoners alleged, murderers? What role did their Confederate captors play in their trial and execution? What brought about their downfall? Relying on military records, diaries, memoirs written within five years of the prison closing, and the recently discovered trial transcript, author Gary Morgan has discovered a version of events that is markedly different from the version told in later day “memoirs” and repeated in the history books. Here, for the first time in a century and a half, is the real story of the Andersonville Raiders.

Love is often written about as certainty.These poems begin somewhere else.Love, Probably moves through small moments, conversations, and quiet recognitions — where affection, doubt, humour, and distance meet. - E-bokEngelska, 2026

A café opens each morning on Bingil Bay Road. The Coral Sea in front, the rainforest behind, and between them a town that holds people still long enough to forget where they thought they were going. Sebastian makes the coffee. Rick arrives from New York with something in him starting to give way. Caroline takes the table in the shade. Mangoes fall on the tin roof and no one looks up. A season in a far north Queensland town travellers, locals, the jungle waiting behind the houses — until the road takes people on and the town stays exactly as it is. - E-bokEngelska, 2026

Bright is a collection of Australian poems of road, light, memory, and ordinary illumination.These poems move through human weather: work, loneliness, masculine pressure, small towns, roads, rooms, grief, humour, and sudden clarity. They are grounded in daily life but alert to the moments when something opens — a light, a phrase, a landscape, a face, a silence.Bright does not offer easy optimism. Its light is earned. It arrives through difficulty, not away from it.This is poetry of seeing clearly inside ordinary life — poems where the world remains hard, but not without brightness.Bright does not offer easy optimism.

Every relationship has a vanishing edge the place where explanation runs out. Past that line, love isn't discussed. It's a hand on a shoulder in a dark kitchen. A silence held long enough to become an answer. Staying, when staying is no longer understood.These poems live at that edge.For anyone who has stood there. - E-bokEngelska, 2026

Snowy Mountains is a meditative journey across land, body, and belonging, tracing a family's long passage from the tropical intensity of Broome to the cold, high air of Kosciuszko National Park. Moving between physical travel and inner shift, these pieces explore what happens when climate, place, and habit fall away, and the body is asked to remember something older than comfort.Written with quiet attentiveness, the work dwells in transitions: heat giving way to cold, fatigue to alertness, motion to stillness. Mountains, forest, road, and weather are not backdrop but presences—shaping breath, perception, and identity. The human story unfolds without drama, carried instead by ordinary details: packed vans, thin air in the lungs, the weight of supplies, a child pausing at the edge of a new landscape. - Nyhet

The Lotus teaching says the broken human is the vehicle, not the obstacle. Nothing needs to be repaired first. Nothing is waiting somewhere else.So there is nothing here to study. No system, no ladder, no scaffolding to climb and discard. Only what is direct.Read one. Put it down. If something stays, it was already yours.The direct immediacy of experience touching us as life .- E-bokEngelska, 2026

A fig tree holds a foreshore for two hundred years and remembers who walked beneath it. A man sails out alone after his wife leaves. A migrant steps off a boat into light that tells on every edge. A car comes over a desert horizon and a people's world ends without a shot. In an abandoned pub, one Thursday night keeps returning.Country Dreaming is a collection about Australian land as the main actor — country that shapes, withholds, remembers, and outlasts the names nailed to it. The people in these poems are not observers of the landscape. They are what it is doing. - E-bokEngelska, 2026

Twenty-nine poems of Australian ground and ordinary hours, where one thing occurs and makes room for the next. - E-bokEngelska, 2026

Nothing Assumed CarriesThirty poems written from the ground up — soil, weather, the body at work, the mind watching itself let go. Nothing here is explained. Nothing is decorated. Each poem holds one thing long enough for it to open, then puts it down.This is a collection about what remains when the assumptions fall away: the names we give things, the futures we lean on, the self we keep managing. What's left isn't emptiness as an idea. It's the fig tree, the rain on tin, the hand releasing what it was never really holding.Written out of decades of Buddhist practice and an Australian life lived close to the earth, these poems don't teach. They transmit. Read one slowly. See what it sets down in you. - Inbunden, Engelska, 2020

Tillfälligt slut
In July 1864, six Union soldiers were hanged at Andersonville, a Civil War prison camp notorious then and now for its harsh conditions. But the hanged men’s crimes had nothing to do with the war against the Confederacy; they weren’t spies or saboteurs. They were the leaders of a gang—known as The Raiders—who terrorized their fellow Union prisoners in the hell of Andersonville. By June 1864, prisoners had had enough, and camp commandant Henry Wirz (executed after the war) sanctioned the formation of a quasi-police force, the Regulators, with permission to arrest, try, and punish offenders. In less than two weeks, the Raiders were broken up and arrested and hung. Andersonville is one of the most notorious aspects of the Civil War, and this is one instance in which brother-against-brother chivalry did not prevail, not even amongst inmates from the same side. Gary Morgan has dug deep into the historical record to tell this story, which is at once dramatic and historically important.
