Tricky Behaviours

Author: Andrew Fuller

Publisher: Bad Apple Press

Kids with tricky behaviours don’t need to be ‘fixed’ because they aren’t broken. They do, however, need to be shown ways to play to their own strengths and to learn a range of ways to interact with the world.

In Tricky Behaviours, leading Australian adolescent psychologist Andrew Fuller delves deeply into the different types of tricky behaviour displayed by children of all ages.

Using the latest thinking and developments in child psychology, he explains the most common reasons children display confronting behaviour and outlines practical steps to help approach and overcome it.

Consent Laid Bare, Sex, Entitlement and the Distortion of Desire

Author: Chanel Contos

Publisher: Macmillan

The game-changing book about sex and consent that every woman – and man – should read

How and why is this happening in an era of growing equality? Chanel Contos argues that when it comes to sex, we are still working with an outdated social contract that privileges men’s pleasure at the expense of women’s humanity.

It is a battle cry from a generation no longer prepared to stay silent.

An Unlikely Prisoner

Author: Sean Turnell

Publisher: Penguin Random House Australia

For 650 days Sean Turnell was held in Myanmar’s terrifying Insein Prison on the trumped-up charge of being a spy. In An Unlikely Prisoner, Turnell recounts how an impossibly cheerful professor of economics, whose idea of an uncomfortable confrontation was having to tell a student that their essay was ‘not really that good’, ended up in one of the most notorious prisons in South-East Asia. And how he not only survived his lengthy incarceration, but left with his sense of humour intact, his spirit unbroken and love in his heart.
