Despite being separated by centuries, and both a part of two different cultures, both Jesus and Muhammad taught many of the same lessons and spoke to many of the same tribulations. Despite the stark differences in culture, wealth and history; those similarities become even more important as they show us the underlying truth we can so easily forget. With the aid of metaphor and parable, this book emphasizes those common threads and examines the pitfalls we face that hide those truths from us.

Dusty Springfield is a pop music legend. Goddess of the sixties, reluctant recluse of the seventies, enigmatic icon of the eighties and nineties, she attracted a passionate following that has remained loyal to this day. She crossed the line into soul music, her first love, but never turned her back on pop music. A perfectionist in her work, she was a shy, awkward girl off stage. Misunderstood and misquoted, that was Miss Springfield. She had a lifestyle to envy, was the original ''IT'' girl and achieved, many believed, the height of decadence. But who really knew her? Who was the real lady behind the black mascara and backcombed hair? This is the story that she never had the chance to tell herself because, nearly two years after her first battle with breast cancer, the disease returned to take her life in 1999.When the end finally came, the music business descended into mourning, tributes flooded in from all over the world, ''''The Daily Telegraph'''' front page announced ''Dusty Springfield dies on day she was to get OBE'' and her Majesty The Queen was reported to be ''deeply saddened''. Dusty Springfield was the very heart and soul of British music. Pet Shop Boy Neil Tennant, who was responsible for her return to chart success in 1987, believed that ''she was the very essence of fabness''.

The seventies witnessed great changes not only in dress style but also in music. The psychedelia of the late sixties had mutated into glam rock by the early seventies, while the latter half of the decade is best remembered for the punk and disco explosions which gripped both Britain and America. The number-one singles of the decade are recalled in Every Chart Topper Tells a Story: The Seventies, from artists as diverse as Gary Glitter, David Bowie, Jimi Hendrix, Diana Ross, The Bee Gees, T-Rex, Commodores, Donny Osmond, The Three Degrees and Abba. It is the ideal volume both for those wanting a trip down memory lane and for serious music connoisseurs.

The ''80s were a decade of musical change. As the ''70s disco stranglehold was broken, rock, gay, dance and pop music competed with funk and soul, romantic ballads and political protest, computerised music and controversy. The glamour of costume, greasepaint and cross-dressing was put to good use by New Romantic groups like Spandau Ballet, Duran Duran, Soft Cell, Culture Club and the Human League, while the world also looked to Britain for the most exciting pop acts such as the multi-million-selling Wham!, Frankie Goes To Hollywood, Eurythmics and the Pet Shop Boys. Mainstream dance music was at its peak, spearheaded by Stock, Aitken and Waterman, and their stable of artists, including Kylie Minogue, Jason Donovan and Rick Astley, were all chart-topping names. From the USA came the artist of the decade, Michael Jackson, while Madonna and Whitney Houston provided the ''Girl Power'' of the ''80s. The decade also saw the philanthropic side of the music industry as the stars responded to famine in Ethiopia with the charity records ''Do They Know It''s Christmas?'' and ''We Are The World''. The''80s catered for all musical tastes, no matter how bizarre, and was far more eclectic than any other decade. From bubble-gum pop with Bucks Fizz to the stadium rock of Simple Minds,''80s Chart-Toppers brings a comprehensive year-by-year, month-by-month guide to the hottest sounds of the decade.

Script for the radio play, The left to die boat. "An epic saga of life and death on the Mediterranean. When Libyan soldiers forced 72 people at gunpoint onto a Zodiac inflatable boat in Tripoli in March last year, the asylum seekers thought that in 18 hours they would be free - and ready to begin a new life in Europe. After fifteen days adrift in the most heavily monitored ocean on earth, the small boat washed up back on Libya''s coast and only eleven people were still alive. Two more would die soon after. This is an account by the survivors, three of whom are now living in Tasmania, of their epic tale of life and death at sea... but there''s also a very disturbing twist." -- Source of summary: SL-NSW Website.
