Foong Ling Kong’s first letter from the publisher is here ❤️

‘MUP books stand for the enduring importance of scholarship – these are the books that help us think and make sense of the world we live in. Fran Lebowitz’s ‘Think before you speak. Read before you think’ has never been more apt than in today’s clamorous, shouty world.’

When Kate died in 1916, she was buried in her family's plot in Devonport, Tasmania, and Gustav, who lived another 16 years and died in 1932, was buried in a tomb in Cradle Valley. KINDRED traces the achievements of these unconventional pioneers and their fight to preserve a piece of wilderness.

Mark Raphael Baker’s A SEASON OF DEATH comes with high praise, and we agree 🧡🖤

‘Trust Mark Baker to write a book about dying that is so brilliantly alive. Phillip Adams once said that Baker does with memory what Rembrandt does with light. With this remarkable memoir, Baker himself has now become that light – illuminating, warming, and guiding. An exceptional act of love.’ — Sarah Krasnostein, author of THE TRAUMA CLEANER

We’re still over the moon with Andrew Fowler’s Walkley win 🤩

Walkley judges said: ‘Andrew Fowler’s razor-sharp analysis uses extensive research and interviews to explore the government’s diplomatic betrayals, alliances and failures, and reveals a complete lack of transparency in major decisions involving gigantic sums of taxpayer money. An eye-opening masterclass in political deceit and the potential consequences.’

The spectacular fallout from Australia's duplicitous AUKUS deal.

We're so proud to share that NUKED by Andrew Fowler has won the 2024 Walkley Book Award 🥳

As Clinton Fernandes expressed, 'Andrew Fowler’s one-man Commission of Inquiry is a nuclear-armed torpedo of a book and a major service to the Australian public ... Fowler unearths the evidence, names the names, and shows how national security, which should be a goal, is used as a cover for something more sinister.'

To see the world through Gaita's eyes is to discover, once again, what it means to love the world and to remain faithful to it.
