The true story of eighteenth-century mathematician Sophie Germain, who solved the unsolvable to achieve her dream. When her parents took away her candles to keep their young daughter from studying math...nothing stopped Sophie. When a professor discovered that the homework sent to him under a male pen name came from a woman...nothing stopped Sophie. And when she tackled a math problem that male scholars said would be impossible to solve...still, nothing stopped Sophie. For six years Sophie Germain used her love of math and her undeniable determination to test equations that would predict patterns of vibrations. She eventually became the first woman to win a grand prize from France's prestigious Academy of Sciences for her formula, which laid the groundwork for much of modern architecture (and can be seen in the book's illustrations). Award-winning author Cheryl Bardoe's inspiring and poetic text is brought to life by acclaimed artist Barbara McClintock's intricate pen-and-ink, watercolor, and collage illustrations in this true story about a woman who let nothing stop her.

After critical analysis of my life, I have come to realise the Lord has been my portion for living. The arm of the Lord is really strong and has saved me, and he is still with me. I have drawn this conclusion due to some awkward situations that befell me and that could have resulted in my untimely death. This is the story of how I became a witch doctor, a boxer, and then a pastor and how it took me two years to travel on foot through Africa to get to Europe to attend Bible college because of my calling from God. I have shared my testimony with some unbelievers who have become new converts in Christ, and the Christians with whom I speak revive their hopes and faith. I love to share my story by speaking on a platform because I am not good at writing. But due to space and time constraints, I have chosen to write it down. Pay attention as I share with you some fascinating moments of my life.

Provides an insider's view of long-distance riding, explains what draws people to the challenges and solitude of the pastime, and highlights a middle-aged diabetic man who loves riding impossible distances.

So why did I really write this book? It dawned on me as I thought about my life, in particular the early years, how I demonstrated acts of spirituality without really knowing it. This started with my acknowledgment of a force of energy larger than myself yet still small enough to make a difference in my life. The use of the law of attraction or "Secret" was an interaction with the universe, albeit for juvenile materialistic gain. I am not ignorant enough to believe that I am alone with these stories. I just don't think we realize or recognize our own spiritual interactions, as they are often lost within the hustle and bustle of our lives. This book covers many topics; some mainstream, others not so much but all relatable. I wanted to demonstrate through my own experiences that you could explore your own adventure just by exploring your own untold stories that comprise your life.

“Pierson is an even better writer than she is a rider.”—Boston Globe “World’s Toughest Motorcycle Riders”—long-distance motorcycling is not a pastime but an obsession.

Pierson, who rediscovered the joys of motorcycling in the midst of a personal crisis, puts on her helmet and joins Ryan in his element in order to understand his singular desire and discipline, his passion and his obsession.

In electric, pitch-perfect prose, Pierson gives us rare insights into not only a subculture but also the deeply human craving for something more that drives it.

What does Malcolm Turnbull stand for? In Stop at Nothing Annabel Crabb tells the story of the man who would be prime minister. Based on extensive interviews with Turnbull as well as those who have worked with him, this is an essay full of revelations. Crabb delves into young Malcolm's university exploits - which included co-authoring a musical with Bob Ellis - and his remarkable relationship with Kerry Packer, the man for whom he was at first a prized attack dog, and then a mortal enemy. She asks whether Turnbull - colourful, aggressive, humorous and ruthless - has what it takes to re-invigorate the Australian Liberal Party in the wake of John Howard. She discusses his vexed relationship with Kevin Rudd, and the looming presence of Peter Costello. This is a scintillating portrait by one of the country's most incisive reporters. "How would Australia be different if he were prime minister? What are his most closely held policy convictions? I asked dozens of Malcolm Turnbull's political colleagues this question, asking them to name three. Many of them had to pause before responding. 'You'll have to excuse me. I'm eating some chocolate,' was the best initial response, from a Liberal on the other end of a phone line." Annabel Crabb, Stop at Nothing This issue also contains correspondence discussing Quarterly Essay 33, Quarry Vision, from Patrice Newell, Bernard Keane, Robert Merkel, Brian Toohey, John Hewson, David Karoly, and Guy Pearse
