Sydney’s groundbreaking seafood chef (and founder of Australia’s first sustainable fishmonger) Josh Niland reveals a completely new way to think about fish cookery in this comprehensive cookbook. He invites readers to see fish for what it really is - an amazing, complex source of protein that should be treated with exactly the same nose-to-tail reverence as meat. Featuring more than 60 recipes for dozens of fish species, The Whole Fish Cookbook emphasises using the whole fish and wasting nothing.

The Glad Shout by Alice Robinson

The winner of this year’s Readings Prize for New Australian Fiction is a harrowing but beautiful examination of motherhood, survival, and love. In the very near and very imaginable future, a cataclysmic storm has sent floodwaters through Melbourne, and we meet Isobel, Shaun, and their toddler Matilda, as they seek refuge in a stadium where help and security are promised. The Glad Shout raises urgent questions about how we will experience the near future of our climate crisis.

We Are Here by Meg Mundell

Edited by former Big Issue deputy editor Meg Mundell, We Are Here is a vibrant and moving collection of true stories showcasing the creative talents of people who have known homelessness. From cold city doorways to lonely bush camps, from a borrowed couch to a discreetly parked car, from dodgy boarding houses to the humid hell of Manus Island, these powerful, defiant and illuminating stories will make every reader question their place in the world, and the kind of place they want the world to be.

Don’t Be Evil: The Case Against Big Tech by Rana Foroohar

Financial Times global business columnist Rana Foroohar documents how Big Tech lost its soul - and became the new Wall Street. With skilled reportage and unparalleled access, Foroohar exposes anti-competitive behaviour, the hijacking of our personal data and mental space and how companies offshore their exorbitant profits. What’s more, she reveals how these threats to our democracies, our livelihoods and our minds are all intertwined. Yet Foroohar also lays out a plan for how we can resist, creating a framework that fosters innovation while also protecting us from the dark side of digital technology.

Unfollow by Megan Phelps-Roper

Megan Phelps-Roper was raised in the Westboro Baptist Church - the fire-and-brimstone religious sect at once aggressively homophobic and anti-Semitic, notorious for its picketing the funerals of American soldiers. In November 2012, at the age of twenty-six, Phelps-Roper left the church, her family, and her life behind. Unfollow is a story about the rarest thing of all: a person changing their mind. It is a fascinating insight into a closed world of extreme belief, a biography of a complex family, and a hope-inspiring memoir of a young woman finding the courage to find compassion for others, as well as herself.

Waters of the World by Sarah Dry

Take an illuminating tour through 150 years of the history of a significant but underappreciated idea: that the Earth has a global climate system made up of interconnected parts, constantly changing on all scales of both time and space. A prerequisite for the discovery of global warming and climate change, this idea was forged by scientists studying water in its myriad forms. Sarah Dry follows the remarkable scientists who toiled on his or her own corner of the planetary puzzle.
