Impeach
Neal Katyal with Sam Koppelman
Allen & Unwin
$24.99
In this short book, celebrated Supreme Court lawyer and former Acting Solicitor General Neal Katyal tells you everything you need to know about the impeachment process: its history, what it is, and how it works – before laying out the impartial case for why Donald Trump must be impeached. Neal Katyal argues that President Trump is not held accountable for repeatedly asking foreign powers to interfere in the 2020 presidential election, this could very well mark the end of US democracy. To quote President George Washington’s Farewell Address: “Foreign influence is one of the most baneful foes of republican government.” Impeachment should always be a last resort, explains Katyal, but the founders, core principles, and the Constitution leave no choice but to impeach President Trump – before it’s too late.

The Hidden Lives of Dreams
Melinda Powell
Allen & Unwin
$32.99
Tap into the magic of your dreams and discover better, more balanced sleep with this revelatory new book from Melinda Powell, Director of the Dream Research Institute. We spend a third of our lives sleeping and, as new research would suggest, almost all of that is spent dreaming. Despite this, very few of us try to explore the messages that our brain is projecting, or try to use this knowledge in our everyday lives. As well as analysing the importance of dreaming for our sleeping brains, Powell discusses the role of light, landscapes, space and people within our dreams, examines the role of nightmares, dispels some common misconceptions and gives readers the tools to unpick these symbols, improve their mental wellbeing and discover better, more balanced sleep.
A Lifetime in Galapagos
Tui De Roy
Bateman Books
$59.99
Tui De Roy was a year old in 1955 when her family left Europe aboard a banana boat, bound for the Pacific to lead a different sort of life on Galapagos, one of self-sufficiency and living close to nature. She grew up on the islands and returned to them often over the next five decades. Discovering photography at a young age, she took her camera with her everywhere, whether she was scaling active volcanoes, diving among hammerhead sharks, or communing with Darwin’s finches.
A Lifetime in Galapagos features hundreds of breathtaking photos taken over the course of De Roy’s life. She paints unforgettable portraits of her childhood in Galapagos, the islands at night under the stars of the Milky Way, the diverse birdlife of Galapagos, and much more.
