Roslyn Russell
As a schoolboy in the 1960s the 'birdman' John Gould was a familiar identity to a young Gould member. In this illustrated volume, covering Gould's years in Australia (1838-1840), author Roslyn Russell outlines the sacrifices and tragedies that Gould, his devoted and artistically talented wife Elizabeth, and their new family, endured by travelling from London to Van Diemen's Land to achieve his lifetime work in ornithology. His outstanding legacy remains a gift to Australian wildlife and an inspiration to those who study the unknown. - Reviewed by Chris G

A Family in Paris
Price:
AUD 49.95
Author:
Jane Paech
Jane Paech was pleasantly surprised when her husband came home from work and asked how she would feel about living in Paris for two years. She immediately answered "when are we going?". But with two young children in tow the glamour she envisioned never really materialised as she launched herself into finding an apartment, getting her children into school and learning the intricacies of daily Parisian life. I particularly like her description of how to shop for clothes like a real Parisian (pages 32 and 33), very intimidating! - Reviewed by Nicole

A.A. Gill
I rarely pick up a travel narrative as I am one of that small group who don't especially like travel. However, in this collection of his articles from Australian Gourmet Traveller, A.A. Gill displays irreverance and wit combined with intelligent observation and presents a thoroughly enjoyable book. By example, this sentence on ecotourism: "if you can find somewhere so remote that Eskimos won't live there, then you've got about half an hour to get somewhere they do" (Be sure to read his take on the Swedish and the British.) - Reviewed by Mary D

Oh Mexico!
Price:
AUD 24.99
Author:
Lucy Neville
The beauty of this book - and others like it - is the insight you gain into a place that you haven't had an opportunity to visit. I've always had a fascination with Mexico and Lucy Neville's tale of her two years spent living and working there has given me a taste of what to expect should I eventually get there. Seeing the country through her eyes provided part history lesson, part travel brochure, and more. I loved the way her life took unexpected twists and turns and although I wasn't so enamoured by the romantic aspects of her story, there were plenty of misadventures that I enjoyed reading about, particularly the time she appeared in a locally produced soap opera!
