Hardback. Michael Challinger, Hybrid Publishers. Mostly Guilty deals with the workings of the lowest level of the Australian legal system. It s about the down-to-earth cases that happen daily in Magistrates Courts. It does so through the experiences and anecdotes of a low-flying criminal barrister. While the cases are from Victoria, the book makes reference to other states and has relevance and interest Australia- wide. The style is light, punchy and informal, with lots of direct speech and many funny yarns. Some of the book is tongue-in-cheek (and even politically incorrect) but it also makes serious points throughout. It s the opposite of stodgy and is written for the general reader, more than for lawyers.ABOUT THE AUTHOR:Michael Challinger still practises as a criminal barrister at the Melbourne Bar. He spent eight years as a lawyer in Papua New Guinea and also practised in London. He s a music lover and keen traveller, having visited more than 120 countries. He lives in Melbourne. Hardback. …

Author: Michael Challinger Format: Paperback Number of Pages: 304 In November 1918, as World War One was coming to a close and soldiers were returning home, a small group of Australian men signed up for more fighting. Yet this time, the enemy was Russian Bolsheviks instead of Germans, and the front line was the wild and frozen wastelands of far north Russia. With humour and an eye for irony, Michael Challinger tells the story of how this group of 150 Aussies was seconded to help to protect the British from a rear guard attack from northern Russia. Stationed in the small town of Arkhangel, the soldiers became embroiled in what was to become the Russian revolution, as they battled not only the Bolsheviks but also extreme cold, hostility from locals and a 25-kilometre front line. Two of these Australians soldiers went on to win Victoria Crosses and are perhaps our most neglected war heroes. Anzacs in Arkhangel brings Russian history into focus and reveals how easily the First World War could have been lost. It is a fascinating account of part of the Anzac legend that is not so much forgotten as never known. Secondhand, Paperback.…

Wilbur thinks Shawline needs an injection of Asian capital and management expertise. He gets both in a manner of speaking. From Singapore -- or is it Taiwan? -- comes the unflagging optimist Danny Wong. He offers Shawline a way out. Who knows, it may actually work.…
