A searing investigation that challenges everything you thought you knew about domestic abuse.
Domestic abuse is a national emergency: one in four Australian women has experienced violence from a man she was intimate with. But too often we ask the wrong question: why didn’t she leave? We should be asking: why did he do it?
Investigative journalist Jess Hill puts perpetrators – and the systems that enable them – in the spotlight. See What You Made Me Do is a deep dive into the abuse so many women and children experience – abuse that is often reinforced by the justice system they trust to protect them. Critically, it shows that we can drastically reduce domestic violence – not in generations to come, but today.
Combining forensic research with riveting storytelling, See What You Made Me Do radically rethinks how to confront the national crisis of fear and abuse in our homes.
Drawing from the latest research and developments from the field,

The Kamogawa Food Detectives, translated from Japanese by Jesse
Kirkwood, is the first book in the bestselling, mouth-watering
Japanese sleuthing series for fans of Before the Coffee Gets Cold.
What’s the one dish you’d do anything to taste just one more
time? Down a quiet backstreet in Kyoto exists a very special
restaurant. Run by Koishi Kamogawa and her father Nagare, the
Kamogawa Diner treats its customers to wonderfully extravagant
meals. But that's not the main reason to stop by . . . The
father-daughter duo have started advertising their services as
'food detectives'. Through ingenious investigations, they are
capable of recreating a dish from their customers' pasts – dishes
that may well hold the keys to forgotten memories and future
happiness. From the widower looking for a specific noodle dish that
his wife used to cook, to a first love's beef stew, the restaurant
of lost recipes provides a link to the past – and a way to a more
contented future. A bestseller in Japan, The Kamogawa Food
Detectives is a celebration of good company and the power of a
delicious meal.

Theo Tan doesn't want a spirit companion. He just wants to be a
normal American kid, playing video games and using cirth pendants
to cast his spells like everyone else. But, when his older brother
dies, Theo ends up inheriting Jamie's fox spirit, Kai. Kai isn't
happy about this either. Theo is nothing like Jamie, and the two of
them have never gotten along. Yet, it soon becomes clear that
something strange is going on with Jamie's internship at Reapling
Corp, and the only way onto the campus is the highly competitive
'Know Your Roots' summer camp program, a celebration of Chinese and
Indian cultures designed to help connect students with their
heritage. Can Theo and Kai put aside their differences long enough
to honour Jamie's last wishes, or will the mystery he died for
remain unsolved forever?
With Computational Thinking in Sound, veteran educators Gena R.
Greher and Jesse M. Heines provide the first book ever written for
music fundamentals educators which is devoted specifically to
music, sound, and technology. The authors demonstrate how the range
of mental tools in computer science - for example, analytical
thought, system design, and problem design and solution - can be
fruitfully applied to music education, including examples of
successful student work. While technology instruction in music
education has traditionally focused on teaching how computers and
software work to produce music, Greher and Heines offer context: a
clear understanding of how music technology can be structured
around a set of learning challenges and tasks of the type common in
computer science classrooms. Using a learner-centered approach that
emphasizes project-based experiences, the book provides music
educators with multiple strategies to explore, create, and solve
problems with music and technology in equal parts. It also provides
examples of hands-on activities which encourage students, alone and
in interdisciplinary groups, to explore the basic principles that
underlie today's music technology and which expose them to current
multimedia development tools.

BEFORE THERE WERE PEOPLE, THERE WERE BEASTS . . . The island of
Ramoa was once luscious and populated with mighty beasts. Now
though, it is home to barren and tamed cities, where nature is
locked out and trouble is brewing. When Kayla's beloved animal
companion, a rare winged pangron, is stolen, she's determined to
get him back. But to do so, she'll have to leave her city and
journey into the wild and forbidden Beastlands. There, she meets
Rustus, an exiled young warrior, and Alethea, a healer desperately
seeking a cure for a mysterious disease. As their quests unite
them, they'll adventure across the lands they know so little about,
leading them to discoveries both great and terrifying. Not least
that the beasts they've always been taught to fear might not be so
terrifying after all... The first instalment in an epic new fantasy
adventure series for readers of DRAGON REALM, FIREBORN and SKANDAR
AND THE UNICORN THIEF.
