"A Riveting story about an ordinary person with an extraordinary life " - Bruce Sims, Australian Editor and PublisherForced adoption practices in Australia during the mid-1900's impacted the lives of countless relinquishing mothers and adoptees.For a long time, the secrecy surrounding these adoptions resulted in thousands of displaced children growing up without knowing their identity, biological parents, or what circumstances surrounded their adoption. This secrecy, fueled with guilt and shame, led to the disruption and trauma of so many lives.Based on actual events, the author shares her compelling story, as she is reunited with her birth mother, revealing the truth behind her very existence, and why she was placed for adoption, while exposing the challenges and traumas she has faced throughout her life.As this heart-warming story of bravery and resilience explores the long-term impacts of adoption, the author offers insights, and hopes to assist others in navigating their own emotional struggles, while striving to increase awareness in a world where forced adoption has been suppressed, shining light into a dark period of history, creating space for a nation to continue the journey of healing.

My Feng Shui carefully guides the reader through a realm of ancient Chinese wisdom where a feather can be as powerful as a white tiger and where dragons, bells and crystals reside with the turtle. Featured are Feng Shui aromatherapy, garden layouts, dowsing with a pendulum and the placement of natural crystals. The art of Feng Shui is deeply rooted in the findings of a collective intelligence of sages through the centuries. Its core is harmony and balance, using the art of placement and positive energy flows to promote happiness, good health, abundance and a passion for living.The prosperity of Hong Kong, Taiwan, Malaysia and Singapore has been based on and nurtured by the practice of Feng Shui, so any doubt regarding the validity of this ancient craft must cease to exist. Then, compare the close-knit unity of Eastern families against their fragmented Western counterparts, leaving no doubt that we should activate this ancient wisdom to attract enrichment needed for a pleasant and fruitful life's journey.Yin and Yang are the dualism in everything, from the protons and electrons forming an atom to our sun's creative and receptive ability to develop atomic fuel to stoke its furnace. Yin/Yang represents the balancing forces of the universe that see-saw eternally. The marriage of Yin and Yang, symbolised by an equally divided, ever-turning circle, shows that each half contains a seed from its other, indicating change through the constant interaction of energies that manifest all things, life, and actions.

Many people struggle when faced with the death of someone they love.... For children the situation is often incomprehensible because they have neither the life skills nor resources to deal with such circumstances. Adults too, particularly while grieving themselves, find it difficult to explain death to children. The unanswered questions and unresolved issues of separation often lead to deeper scars. These can impact significantly and negatively on their lives. It is hoped that this book will be a useful resource for parents, grand-parents, teachers and counselors.

These memoirs of András Hidas are the results of a self challenge to prove that engineers and nerds can write books. The resulting work is a simple narrative of his sometimes turbulent but not unfortunate journey through life and times as an ordinary engineer and astronomy nut. It records family ancestry, early childhood in Europe, education, professional career and personal life in alternating chapters with observations and commentary on political, social and cultural issues of the day as a backdrop. As another thread these memoirs also trace, his personal experience of the evolution of Information Technology over his long working career from IBM 'mainframe' computers to minicomputers, microchip technology, microcomputers and home computers. For fellow nerds there are occasional mini-tutorials interspersed on the relevant basic technology. On retirement, the 'engineer' of the title of these memoirs morphs into an 'astronomer' starting a new if unpaid career in his backyard observatory. (www.arcadiaobservatory.org)
