Will they ever come home?Every 15 minutes, someone in Australia goes missing. Most are found, but some have met with misadventure or murder.

In researching Missing You, Justine Ford, journalist and presenter on the TV series Australia’s Most Wanted, had access to police Australia-wide and extensive contact with the victims’ families. It includes a preface by Bruce Morcombe, whose 13-year-old son, Daniel, was abducted from a Gold Coast bus stop. Colour photos • Softcover • 296 pages •

Exceptional courage and resilienceBetween 1856 and 1876, five explorers – Richard Burton, John Hanning Speke, Samuel Baker, David Livingstone and Henry Morton Stanley – risked their lives in the name of a quest to discover the source of the White Nile.
They journeyed through Africa into unmapped territory, discovered the great lakes Tanganyika and Victoria, navigated the upper Nile and the Congo, and suffered the ravages of flesh-eating ulcers, malaria and spear wounds.
Tim Jeal tells the story of these expeditions, and examines the tragic consequences which the Nile search has had on Uganda and Sudan to this day.
