Burst Your Bubble

When your dreams become bigger than the ability to achieve them,

When your heart, body, and soul, feel numb,

When you are lost in the darkness, suffering, failure, and regret,

When you feel like the world for you is in huge debt,

Burst the bubble that has you imprisoned,

Seek me out in the book, and every answer will be given,

I will help you see the truth that lies beneath the mask that we wear,

Choose this book, and you shall see what you had lost in despair.

Bullying and Mobbing in Schools and Workplaces

Considering the fact that bullying and mobbing in schools and workplaces has become a worldwide problem where tens of million people are getting hurt, many of them marked for life and even lose their lives mainly because most societies from across the world failed to protect its people, the present book is a great eye-opener on this very important matter. The uniqueness of this book lies in the author’s attempt to make a very accurate X-ray of the degrading world society, from which bullying, cyberbullying and mobbing spring. We believe that the democracy of today’s societies has moved too far away from the ethical and moral values that underlie a healthy society and this is the cause of all iniquities. That is why, in almost all countries, issues such as bullying, cyberbullying, and mobbing are only symptomatically addressed. However, let us not lose hope because there are also a couple of countries that have impressive results because they approach issues very effectively from an ethical and moral point of view. All of this is described in the contents of this book.

Bridge for Beginners

Bridge is a wonderful game. It is interesting, challenging and frustrating all at the same time. It keeps your brain active and alert and it gives you an opportunity to create new and lasting friendships with like-minded people.

“It is rare to find a bridge book that combines simplicity with comprehensive cover of all the basic rules of bridge, and yet this book does exactly that. George builds a solid foundation for the beginner by going through the bidding sequences step by step in a logical and orderly fashion and then presenting examples to show how those steps actually work. I can highly recommend this for those who want to learn the basics. It is also ideal for those who have played and now want to rekindle and update their skills. The book will also work nicely as a manual for teachers who teach beginners.”

Break Your Bad Habits

The majority of us in the Western world will suffer at some point with aches and pains. Statistics say over 80% of those will be back problems. The Dutch philosopher Erasmus once said, ‘Prevention is better than cure,’ so doesn’t it make sense to do something now that can prevent this pain from happening?This book not only provides a common-sense approach to identifying and changing those habits known to be a major cause of those aches and pains, but will also keep you toned, since doing actions the correct way means you will be using the right muscles while protecting the spine, giving you a better quality of life now as well as in your mature years.

Brain's Got the Sh*ts Again

Has your brain ever had the sh*ts? Feeling down, feeling tired, the works?

Well so had mine, until a vastly uneventful Eurotrip that led me to intense joint pain, that led me to celiac disease diagnosis, that led me to initially eating cardboard-flavoured things, that led me to tastier options, that led me to the slimey miracle that is the human gut, and to the life-affirming railroad that is the gut-brain axis. Whether your brain is constipated or has full-blown diarrhoea (I promise this book is serious once you actually buy it), this dubious title promises to share fun-facts about gut-brain health, all through real and imagined short stories that will keep you interested. If you are having doubts about trusting a sass-mouthed writer with your gut-brain health, let me try to change your mind by saying all my facts are cited through respected academic research, I’m a Neuropsychology extern and a Neuroendocrinology gut-brain researcher and I’m currently pursuing a Psychology PhD (no one said I’d catch it though).

Both Legs Down One Knicker

Bob Bond always wanted to draw cowboys and Indians – or, failing that, sci-fi. But his horses looked like aliens, and his aliens looked like they were from another planet.

So he turned to another of his passions: football. At that, he was a little more competent, as the inside pages may show. It’s a collection of match cartoons, caricatures and stories, covering the fifty years following the Second World War...

Born into a World I Don't Belong In

For women and girls who have been misunderstood, miss-diagnosed and quite frankly missed altogether in getting an autism diagnosis – THIS BOOK IS FOR YOU.

For decades females on the spectrum went undetected causing a lifetime of struggles, anxiety, depression, missed opportunities and incorrect diagnoses. Women and girls tended to fly under the radar due to the fact that they learned from an early age how to mask, mimic and role-play in order to fit in with societal norms and expectations. Due to a lot of research in this field, there are now a lot more evidence-based theories to support the view that autism is just as prevalent in females as it is in males, but it just wasn’t picked up due to the gender difference in presentation. There still needs to be a lot more awareness and information available for women and girls who may feel different but don’t know why. Maybe they have been searching for answers in the wrong places. My mission is to help raise awareness of this condition. And who can do this better than a female on the spectrum that walks, talks and lives each day in those shoes?

Birthplaces of Australian Motor Racing

This book records and now preserves the history of Australian motorsport. Huge proportions of it were just on the very edge of being lost.
By the time you have read this book, you will be unbeatable at Australian motor racing trivia around any race campground fire pit or BBQ. You will know what the deadliest day was trackside in this country, the speedway promoter who discovered and named one of Australia’s biggest international rock groups, the most extreme financial car racing venue disaster of all time, why many residential roads have names the people who live there don’t appreciate, and what venue built its own railway station which is still in use today.
You will discover places worth dragging the family off to so you can take photos of rusting artefacts and sprout knowledgeable but boring nostalgic conversations. You’ll also be amazed at some of the historic car racing locations you’ve unknowingly been driving past.
How do you locate old car venues when some were utterly demolished 90 years ago, an industrial complex built on the same spot, which was in turn torn down and replaced with a university, a lake or a multi-storey housing estate?
This roll call of mine started out with two simple questions that most petrol heads in this country ask themselves sooner or later. How many car racing facilities have closed in Australia – and why?

Beneath the Filters

In today’s digital age, social media platforms have become an integral part of our daily lives. While they offer a way to stay connected with others and access information, they can also have detrimental effects on mental health, particularly for young people.

In Beneath the Filters: The Dangerous Effects of Social Media on Mental Health, author Francesca Salierno explores how the beauty standards perpetuated by social media can lead to a distorted sense of self-worth and body image issues.

Drawing on research and real-life stories, including her own, Francesca uncovers the toxic nature of social media and its impact on mental health. Through practical advice and guidance, readers will learn how to take control of their social media use and promote a healthier relationship with themselves and others.

This is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand the value of real beauty beneath the filters.

Before the Fog

Before the Fog is a story of a family and the changes that have come about in their daily lives in dealing with Alzheimer’s disease. Francis, a former member of the army, and his wife, Lizzie, having met and married in harder times, reared two children: Mark, their eldest, and Elizabeth, the apple of her father’s eye.

A very difficult child, Elizabeth demanded a lot of attention from her father while Mark, the quiet, gentle type, was bullied in school due to walking with a slight limp. Born with a club foot, Mark had been through much physio as a child and wore braces on his leg.

Francis, diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, was to become increasingly dependent on Lizzie. Together they’d shared a life of joy and hardship but especially love. Theirs was a love that would withstand all obstacles and would hold strong, even through the living death that was Alzheimer’s.
