Eighth-grade life becomes a thing of the past when Jenni and her science class go on a field trip and are unknowingly transported to another world. There they encounter amazing creatures, some of which think a kid shish kebab would be a tasty treat.

A Measure of Disorder

Updated with new material, this Fifth Edition of the most widely used book in combinatorial problems explains how to reason and model combinatorically. It also stresses the systematic analysis of different possibilities, exploration of the logical structure of a problem, and ingenuity. Combinatorical reasoning underlies all analysis of computer systems. It plays a similar role in discrete operations research problems and in finite probability. This book seeks to develop proficiency in basic discrete math problem solving in the way that a calculus text develops proficiency in basic analysis problem solving.

Applied Combinatorics

When the army assigns Anthony's father to work on the topsecret atomic testing project in outback South Australia, the family relocates from Townsville to Woomera. His mother is unimpressed with outback life, but for Anthony, who has spent the past six years recovering from polio, it offers freedom and excitement. The controversial rocket and munitions testing captures Anthony's imagination. It seems like something out of a Superman comic, but is it really as safe as the government says?

The Diary of Anthony Brown, Woomera 1953

More bombs exploded and within seconds several ships were on fire. Japanese planes flew so close to me that I could not only see the red circles painted under their wings, but I could see the pilots' faces. It only took a moment. It was a moment that Tom would always remember — that morning of 19 February 1942, when everything changed ... changed from peace to war.

The Bombing of Darwin

The Berlitz Travellers Guide to Portugal

My name is Darius Arthur Heisenberg, but most people call me Dare. If my last name sounds familiar, it's probably because of my great-great uncle Werner Heisenberg. He was a physicist who came up with something called the Uncertainty Principle. But listen, Uncle Werner had no idea how uncertain things really are. I work for a group, called the Keepers, that label themselves the custodians of time. And, believe me, time is a mess. It needs all the custodians it can get. Which is, of course, why the Keepers selected me, a nineteen-year-old high school dropout, to join them. I recently worked as a janitor for a couple months. Perfect fit, right? Okay, it didn't make much sense to me either, but I wasn't in a position to turn down a steady job and a roof over my head. Besides, all I'm supposed to do is travel through time and save the universe as we know it, how hard could it be? Yeah, better hold on. This could get ugly.

Knot in Time

I dropped to the ground. I could see nothing until lightning flashed. I started crawling towards the bottom of the stairs where I’d last seen Dad. Something slammed into my side and I hit the ground. My hip was hurting like crazy but I went on, sliding like a snake ... When I lifted my head and tried to see where I was, the rain and mud splashed into my eyes making it almost impossible to see. Ryan and his best friend, Nev, both love fishing. They spend all their spare time at the wharf or out on Darwin Harbour fishing for trevally and barra, and keeping an eye on local weather and tides. But when Ryan makes a new friend, his father is not pleased. Troubles with his dad are nothing compared to what lies ahead ... Cyclone Tracy, which devastated Darwin on Christmas Eve, 1974.
