Girt
Summary
Girt. No word could better capture the essence of Australia.... In this hilarious history, David Hunt reveals the truth of Australia's past, from megafauna to Macquarie - the cock-ups and curiosities, the forgotten eccentrics and Eureka moments that have made us who we are. Girt introduces forgotten heroes like Mary McLoghlin, transported for the crime of "felony of sock", and Trim the cat, who beat a French monkey to become the first animal to circumnavigate Australia. It recounts the misfortunes of the escaped Irish convicts who set out to walk from Sydney to China, guided only by a hand-drawn paper compass, and explains the role of the coconut in Australia's only military coup. Our nation's beginnings are steeped in the strange, the ridiculous, and the frankly bizarre. Girt proudly reclaims these stories for all of us. Not to listen to it would be un-Australian.

True Girt
Summary
First there was Girt. Now comes...True Girt. In this side-splitting sequel to his best-selling history, David Hunt takes us to the Australian frontier. This was the Wild South, home to hardy pioneers, gun-slinging bushrangers, directionally challenged explorers, nervous indigenous people, Caroline Chisholm and sheep. Lots of sheep. True Girt introduces Thomas Davey, the hard-drinking Tasmanian governor who invented the Blow My Skull cocktail, and Captain Moonlite, Australia's most infamous LGBTI bushranger. Meet William Nicholson, the Melbourne hipster who gave Australia the steam-powered coffee roaster and the world the secret ballot. And say hello to Harry, the first camel used in Australian exploration, who shot dead his owner, the explorer John Horrocks. Learn how Truganini's death inspired the Martian invasion of Earth. Discover the role of Hall and Oates in the Myall Creek Massacre. And be reminded why you should never ever smoke with the Wild Colonial Boy and Mad Dan Morgan. David Hunt is the author of Girt: The Unauthorised History of Australia, which won the 2014 Indie Award for nonfiction and was short-listed in both the NSW Premier's Literary Awards and Australian Book Industry Awards. David is a comedy writer, historian and children's book author. He has a birthmark that looks like Tasmania, only smaller and not as far south.

Persuasion
Summary
Persuasion Learn How to Influence People, Convince Others, and Sell Anything You Want Do you want to be more productive, better organised, and successful but don’t know where to begin? Are you worried that you aren’t getting to where you want to be in life because you aren’t persuasive enough to make people follow your instructions? Do you want to be more assertive or are you interested in learning the psychology or persuasive language to better understand how advertizing and marketing works? Congratulations, you’re in the right place! It is said that information is control. All things considered, in the event that understanding is power, at that point requiring information about individual brain science would be what could be compared to getting superpowers. Brain science, the understanding of the individual personality and how it works, is a subject fundamental to the understanding of mankind. Brain science sheds light on everything from ads to finance, wrongdoing to confidence, and love to hate. Someone who comprehends enthusiastic standards holds the key to human impact, a key few other people have. Acquiring enthusiastic mindfulness is regularly an intense errand. Like the majority of humankind's most creative keys, mental mindfulness is covered somewhere inside the pages of diaries that were thick and held out of the reach of general society. To distill this compelling data to a down-to-earth structure would require an individual to dive through many diaries and books, attempting to isolate the helpful from the futile. Included in this book: Psychological wellness effects of manipulation. In what capacity can persuasion differ now? Mirror-based persuasive techniques Choosing effective communicators Acing subconscious persuasion to attain everything you need Five methods to be persuasive to win more negotiations If you are looking to become more persuasive, learn how best to influence people, and achieve better results with your marketing and advertising, then this is the right book for you....
