Leisel Jones is rightly regarded as one of the greatest breaststrokers ever. At just fifteen, she won two silver medals at the Sydney Olympic Games in 2000; she went on to win gold at Athens and Beijing, and at London 2012 became the first Australian swimmer to compete at four Olympics. For the first time, Leisel candidly describes what it's like to be thrust into the limelight so young. She reveals the constant pressure she was under - from coaches, from the media and from herself - to be perfect. Despite the highs of her swimming stardom, she suffered depression, and at one time planned to take her own life. In London, criticised in the media for her weight, and appalled by the bulling and dysfunction in the Australian swim team, Leisel nevertheless handled herself with great composure. She has emerged with maturity and good humour, having finally learnt how to be herself and live with confidence. Body Lengths is the inspiring story of an Australian sporting hero, told with humour, optimism and style.

The backgrounds on the local sea creatures will bring new divers up to speed quickly on cold water species, and hopefully the information will be found to be interesting to seasoned divers. Hopefully, this book is best read between dives, while crossing on a ferry, while on a live aboard vessel, before visiting the Puget Sound, or just when you feel like diving, but can't get the time off from the real world.

The Missing Ones is the true account of the disappearance of Blanche and Russell Warren. The young hard working couple disappeared in 1929, seemingly without a trace while drive from Port Angeles to their cabin near Forks, Washington. At the cabin eagerly awaiting their arrival, were their two sons, age 12 and 14. An investigation by the Sheriff's Department failed to find the Warrens. However, clues led investigators to the belief that the Warren's had driven into Lake Crescent. The case was largely forgotten until 1954 when a scuba diving club stumbled upon the story. In 2001, they passed the story on to National Park Rangers and divers stationed at Olympic National Park. This is the true story of how the Warrens disappeared, the 1929 investigation, how the dive club found the story in 1954 and what they did to try to solve the case and how the Park Rangers and dive team finally solved the case in 2004.
