Book Description
'The Editorial Committee of the dictionary of Australian English, led by Arthur Delbridge, were adamant that their dictionary was to be descriptive. It was an important point of difference from traditional dictionary policy. This dictionary would give an account of Australian English as it was heard and written. We wanted it all: spoken, written, technical, polite, rude. The speech of labourers, the jargon of merchants, swearwords, Australianisms, as well as the basic core of English vocabulary.' The idea for a dictionary of Australian English was conceived in the 1960s, but it wasn't until 1981 that the first edition of the Macquarie Dictionary was published. More Than Words tells the story of how the dictionary was brought to life during this period -- from identifying the need for a genuinely Australian dictionary to the long road towards publication -- and explores how the dictionary has evolved over the years since then.

In Veritas, author Felicity Mc Cann, a teacher, dream therapist, and champion of the underdog, reveals the tactics employed by those in power when seeking to stop a whistleblower. She shares her personal experiences with the culture of bullying that exists in many organizations, describing the strategies used to isolate, humiliate, and eventually force the resignation of a perceived threat to the hierarchy. She also offers an account of how she turned to her dreams for professional direction in the corporate world of intrigue and skullduggery, illustrating the importance of listening and writing down our dream messages. Her story provides inspiration for all dreamers looking for a better way. Presenting a dream journal with a twist, this personal narrative shares an account of one womans experiences with workplace bullying and her use of her dreams for guidance.
