Reflections
4
ISBN:
9780980527810
RRP: $65.00 HC
Following
the outstanding success of Ken Duncan’s first three Reflections
titles, what better time could there be for the launch of Ken’s Reflections
4 book? At a time when
there is so much fear and negativity in the world, we need as much
inspiration as we can get – and Reflections
4 helps the spirit to soar. One of the purposes for the creation of
the Reflections series was to
bring a positive message of hope through the combination of stunning
images and thought-provoking quotes, thus making the series very popular
with all ages. This new offering takes readers on an enchanting pilgrimage
of the soul through dozens of magnificent Australian landscapes. Cascading
streams, intriguing rock forms, and jewel-like beaches – all these and
more appear as signposts along a path of delightful discovery.
One
of Ken’s favourite sayings is: “Faith or fear, your choice”. When
you look at the beauty captured in this new collection of Australian
images by Ken, your faith levels will raise as you turn each page.
The majority of images featured in this volume are the result of Ken’s
most recent journeys around
Australia
and have not been published before. A
diverse and inspired feast for the eyes - from the lush and dappled
rainforests of far north Queensland, through to penguins promenading in
Antarctica wonderlands, then towering snow gum forests of Victoria’s
Alpine National Park to Tasmania’s awesome wilderness and the remote
wetlands of Arnhem Land in the Northern Territory – Reflections
4 is a collection permeated by a wild and alluring splendour, its
photographs filled with colour and texture and brimming with emotion,
complemented by a selection of carefully chosen quotes.
Reflections
4 also
features a selection of Ken’s new vertical panoramas -- trees,
waterfalls, cliffs, lighthouses and other soaring sections of land and sky
that would easily be lost in a horizontal photograph. These vertical
shots, in the back of the volume, offer a view of Australia that is rarely
noticed or celebrated. Each one is like peering through a door at a
segment of the Australian landscape never before encountered, and the
effect is magical.
Ken Duncan’s photography refreshes and inspires by its beauty and
emotive depth. “For in the face of nature’s magnificence,” Ken
writes, “we see our own lives more clearly.”
Continue Ken’s journey of discovery and the
ever popular Reflections tradition
by joining Ken through the lens of his camera in this new and soon to be
released Reflections 4 volume.

Mark
Skaife - The Racing Years
ISBN:
9780980390957
RRP: $64.95 HC
Mark
Skaife is Australia’s most successful motor racing driver. He has won
the Australian Touring Car Championship five times, the Australian
Drivers’ Championship three times and has tasted victory at Bathurst
five times. He has more race wins than any other driver and is only
bettered for pole positions by Peter Brock… but there is more to Skaife
than just a set of impressive statistics.
He remains, even in retirement, one of the most popular names in the
sport, now entrenched even further with his role as a commentator with
Channel 7.
Mark
Skaife: The Racing Years
will focus entirely on his motor racing career, looking at the cars and
races that defined his career. The awesome ‘Nissan Godzilla’ – the
car that killed Group A in this country – the ‘Golden Child’ – the
VX Commodore that has won more races than any other single car in
Australian touring car racing – will feature alongside cars such as the
VE Commodore that was his last drive and the Spa Formula Brabham car that
took him to consecutive titles in the Drivers’ Championship.
As an officially licensed product for Mark Skaife, this book is being
created with his help and will gain extra sales potential from his new
role as a commentator for the V8 Supercar Championship Series and his
ambassadorial role with Holden.
