Download or read book Deep Time Dreaming written by Billy Griffiths and published by Black Inc.. This book was released on 2018-02-26 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: People would have known about Australia before they saw it. Smoke billowing above the sea spoke of a land that lay beyond the horizon. A dense cloud of migrating birds may have pointed the way. But the first Australians were voyaging into the unknown. Soon after Billy Griffiths joins his first archaeological dig as camp manager and cook, he is hooked. Equipped with a historian’s inquiring mind, he embarks on a journey through time, seeking to understand the extraordinary deep history of the Australian continent. Deep Time Dreaming is the passionate product of that journey. It investigates a twin revolution: the reassertion of Aboriginal identity in the second half of the twentieth century, and the uncovering of the traces of ancient Australia. It explores what it means to live in a place of great antiquity, with its complex questions of ownership and belonging. It is about a slow shift in national consciousness: the deep time dreaming that has changed the way many of us relate to this continent and its enduring, dynamic human history. John Mulvaney Book Award: Winner Ernest Scott Prize: Winner NSW Premier's Literary Awards: Winner - Book of the Year NSW Premier's Literary Awards: Winner - Douglas Stewart Prize for Non-fiction Victorian Premier’s Literary Awards: Highly Commended Queensland Literary Awards: Shortlisted Prime Minister's Literary Awards: Shortlisted Educational Publishing Awards: Shortlisted Australian Book Industry Awards: Longlisted CHASS Book Prize: Longlisted ‘What a revelatory work! If you wish to hear the voice of our continent's history before the written word, Deep Time Dreaming is a must read. The freshest, most important book about our past in years.’ —Tim Flannery ‘Once every generation a book comes along that marks the emergence of a powerful new literary voice and shifts our understanding of the nation’s past. Billy Griffiths’ Deep Time Dreaming is one such book. Deeply researched, creatively conceived and beautifully written, it charts the expansion of archaeological knowledge in Australia for the first time. No other book has managed to convey the mystery and intricacy of Indigenous antiquity in quite the same way. Read it: it will change the way you see Australian history.’ —Mark McKenna, historian ‘Billy Griffiths’ Deep Time Dreaming: Uncovering Ancient Australia is a remarkable book, and one destined, I believe, to become a modern classic of Australian history writing. Written in vivid, evocative prose, this book will grip both the expert and the general reader alike.’ —Iain McCalman, author of The Reef: A Passionate History: The Great Barrier Reef from Captain Cook to Climate Change

Book excerpt: Destinies aren’t set in stone, but the price to modify them might change everything. Max only wants two things: leave his dying mill town and take Jamie, the love of his young life, with him. Easier said than done because, in a small town like his, things never change even when you desperately want them to. But when Max stumbles over an odd crystalline Orb at the bottom of a pond, he realizes he might have found his golden ticket out of town. At first, the Orb’s magic only allows him to see the future. Soon enough, he realizes it possesses much more power than it seems. Eventually, Max figures out a way to use the Orb to alter the future, but not without causing physical harm to himself. At first, he’s cautious of this newfound power, but when the Orb reveals a devastating event in Jamie’s future, he vows to save her no matter what it costs him. How much pain can one boy endure to save the one he loves? Would it be enough to save her, or will altering the future come at a cost too high for him to pay?

Download or read book Oops I ve Fallen written by Max Monroe and published by . This book was released on 2021-03-26 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If my time with Ryan Miller were a hit track on the radio, I imagine the lyrics would go something like this... "We're so different, but they say opposites attract. Oops, I've fallen, and my heart doesn't want to come back." But, holy bingo night, is my attraction to the sexy, broody businessman so much more complicated than the chorus of a song. His dad lives right next to my mom, and after the two of them suffered an unexplained accident while taking down holiday decorations, both Ryan and I were forced to become the only thirtysomething residents of Sunny Creek Village Independent Senior Living Community. Temporarily moving in might seem like overkill for a fractured tailbone and a severely pulled groin muscle, but believe me, when your mom is as wild as mine and your dad is as cantankerous as Ryan's, they need supervision to ensure they stick to doctor's orders. Constantly thrown together by the antics of our crazy parents and the tough-as-nails community enforcer, Betty Matthews, Ryan and I formed an alliance for the sole purpose of survival. But I never expected to be so interested in finding out what he was hiding beneath his grumpy, serious demeanor. More than that, I never dreamed what I found would be the kind of man women sell their souls to the devil for. Unfortunately, our little one-hit wonder on the airwaves has more to say before it comes to an end. Although, finishing the outro to this song is a real doozy... Tell me...what lyric rhymes with Oops, I've fallen for my future stepbrother?
