Isobel Mary "Pixie" Annat grew up in rural Queensland and trained to be a nurse shortly after World War II. Working first at the Royal Brisbane Hospital, she went on to forge an extraordinary career as matron, then CEO, of St Andrew's War Memorial Hospital in Brisbane. Pixie Annat: Champion of Nurses draws on anecdotes from Pixie's personal journey and documents the important contributions made by medical colleagues during her more than 50-year career working in healthcare. It also recounts her years as a leader of the Royal Australian Nursing Federation. Pixie later applied her skills to many charitable board positions, giving generously of her time and wisdom. The energy, humor, and zest she displayed throughout her life makes for an uplifting read.

Women in the Cinema of Pier Paolo Pasolini

Fairfax: The Rise and Fall

By: Colleen Ryan

Fairfax - once a great Australian media company - faces a grim future. Newspapers worldwide are faltering in the face of competition from the internet, but the fate of Fairfax stands out as being particularly cruel. The carnage is barely credible. Massive printing plants are being dismantled. Hundreds of fine journalists have been ushered from the building. The newspapers themselves are on notice. The future of the company is shaky. Fairfax: The Rise and Fall is a story that is book-ended by young Warwick Fairfax and Gina Rinehart—the eccentric beneficiaries of two of the greatest family fortunes Australia has ever seen. But the real players in the Fairfax saga are the business and political giants. They include Kerry Packer, Rupert Murdoch, Conrad Black, John Howard, Paul Keating, Neville Wran, David Gonski, Roger Corbett and Fred Hilmer. The once-mighty Fairfax has been a victim of them all. Colleen Ryan gives the definitive account of the fate of Fairfax, a drama-filled saga that reveals how far Fairfax has fallen

Social Work, Social Justice, and Human Rights

A Structural Approach to Practice, Second Edition

By: Colleen Lundy

Social workers take pride in their commitment to social and economic justice, peace, and human rights, and in their responses to related inequalities and social problems. At a time when economic globalization, armed conflict, and ecological devastation continue to undermine human rights and the possibilities for social justice, the need for linking a structural analysis to social work practice is greater than ever. The second edition of this popular social work practice text more fully addresses the connection between social justice and human rights. It includes a discussion of social work's role in promoting peace and responding to environmental problems. It also places a greater attention on the links between social work theories/concepts and practice skill/responses. The text has been updated and revised throughout with four new chapters: social work and human rights, cultural competence and practice with immigrant communities, social work and mental health communities, and practice with couples and families. Detailed case studies demonstrate the integration of theory, policy, and practice.

Whores on the Hill

A Novel

By: Colleen Curran

The girls of Sacred Heart Holy Angels eye the good dancers at the all-ages club Metropolis. They waste afternoons at the mall, check out parties on the lake, burn through candid, casual sex. Everybody calls them the Whores on the Hill, but they don't care. It is the mid-'80s and they go to the last all-girls' school in Milwaukee, where innocence is scarce and happiness is something to grabbed at in the backseat of a fast car. Meet exuberant, uninhibited Astrid, her nervy, troubled friend Juli and Thisbe, the shy, ascetic newcomer. They are fifteen years old. And they believe they can take on the world, no matter what it calls them. But when euphoric promiscuity mixes with a series of dangerous, deadly pranks, their world at Sacred Heart Holy Angels can never be the same.

Historical Collection

By: Colleen L. Reece,Norene Morris,Maryn Langer,Tracie Peterson

The world of Heartstrings is one awash in neon lights, sequins, and the allure of the country music scene. Yet it's also the down-to-earth story of Genna Ross, a star-studded entertainer who yearns for the simple life of her West Virginia childhood, and the only man she ever loved but couldn't have. Only plain and lonely Emily Carson could see the unrealized beauty of a dilapidated Victorian mansion. That is, until she meets someone who has an eye for home restoration, and for discovering the hidden treasures of one vulnerable woman. Restore the Joy is a story of a love against all odds, and the perfect timing of our faithful God. Jamie Carrigan has flunked out of college and now she's living with her grandmother miles away from "civilization." What good could come from this? For starters, in Passage of the Heart, two handsome men vying for her attention, and Grandma's rock-solid, old-fashioned Christian faith. It's only A Matter of Choice, but to Stacie and Brad, it's their future happiness. They were the ideal couple, seemingly made for each other, until a career opportunity of a lifetime presents itself to Stacie. Should she continue up the corporate ladder - and into the arms of another suitor - or stay with her first love?
