Book excerpt: An intimate and penetrating examination of the world's most famous woman, Dame Edna Everage, by the man who knows her best. In this unauthorised biography, acquired for an unprecedented advance and in spectacular secrecy, long-time manager and the man who was there from the very beginning, Barry Humphries takes a behind-the-scenes, no-holds-barred look at an icon of our times - Dame Edna Everage. Superstar, swami, confidante and advisor to royalty, Hollywood stars and international political leaders, Dame Edna’s life has catapulted her far from her humble Moonee Ponds beginnings as a suburban housewife to the most elite social and artistic circles in the world. Who would have thought that this modest Australian woman could achieve so much from London to Louisiana to New York to Tokyo? Who could have anticipated her global fame? Barry Humphries certainly didn't. 'A very, very funny expose of an Australian icon' - Sunday Telegraph 'Without question, the most famous Australian woman in the world' - Sydney Morning Herald

Book excerpt: Housewife Superstar is the life story of eccentric Tasmanian domestic goddess, Marjorie Bligh. Now 94 years old, Marjorie is the author of a library of advice books covering topics including food, household management, health and beauty, poetry, gardening and recycling. Marjorie is the go-to-girl for all manner of problem-solving. She knows what to do when a goldfish has constipation (feed it Epsom salts), and what to do when you run out of rouge (cut a beetroot in half and slap it on your cheeks). Famous for never wasting a thing, Marjorie has constructed a museum within her own home to show off the various items she has knitted and crocheted out of such unlikely materials as plastic shopping bags and used pantyhose. Her abundant garden is staked out with old-fashioned corset brassieres that function as plant protectors. Sensationally thrice-married (once divorced and twice widowed), Marjorie is, according to her colossal fan Barry Humphries, 'no slouch in the matrimonial department'. Her short-lived second marriage, to preacher and schoolteacher Adrian Cooper, was punctuated by endless love notes, breakfasts in bed and territorial catfights with Adrian's adult daughters. Following Adrian's death, Marjorie met her third husband Eric Bligh – a bus driver – on a CWA outing, snagging him with promises of fruitcake and flirtatious glances in his rear view mirror. Housewife Superstar is an illuminating look at a true Australian treasure. Marjorie Bligh will soon be a household name.

Book excerpt: This detailed volume provides an overview of recent advances in the application of genomic technologies in several domains of marine biology, raising awareness of various DNA- and RNA-based technologies. Genomic methods are essential in identifying previously undetected taxonomic (e.g. DNA barcoding), genetic (e.g. sequencing), and functional (e.g. gene expression, analysis of metabolites) diversity, as shown in the chapters of this book, with sections focusing on next generation sequencing (NGS) technologies, bioinformatics in marine genomics research, marine biotechnology, as well as a variety of methods successfully applied in fish. Written for the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Authoritative and practical, Marine Genomics: Methods and Protocols highlights the utility of numerous lab protocols and their potential to provide deeper insight into physiological and ecological mechanisms in marine life.
