Book Description
Strayapedia is the certified fair dinkum, 100% Australian made, 100% foreign owned answer to Wikipedia. Patriotically basted in the goon trough of Australian values, this book is as fundamentally Strayan as bowling your final over underarm, not asking awkward questions about what's in your meat pie, and naming a swimming pool after Harold Holt. Conveniently omitting all areas not relating to Australia, Strayapedia provides definitive alternative facts about Tony Abbott, AC/DC, Canberra, Kylie Minogue, the Hills hoist, Bob Hawke, Hey Hey It's Saturday, Ned Kelly, koalas, Akubras and Shane Warne - among many other certified dinky-di topics. If you want to pass a citizenship test, or win a trivia night hosted by Cory Bernardi, Strayapedia is as valuable as a tiny apartment in Sydney. What they said about Strayapedia* *These quotes are as factual as the rest of this book. 'Sorry, I cannot recall reading it.' Cardinal George Pell 'This is a disgusting, defamatory book which unfortunately doesn't mention me.' Rebel Wilson 'I wanted to endorse Strayapedia, but my backbench thought otherwise.' Malcolm Turnbull 'Buy this book, unless CBS buys it first.' Lachlan Murdoch 'This book contains wrecking, undermining and sniping.' Tony Abbott 'This book should be covered up at all times.' Pauline Hanson 'This book made me wish I'd renounced my Australian citizenship instead.' Barnaby Joyce 'I have empirical evidence that this book does not exist.'

'This book has the biggest sales numbers ever. No other book comes close, period.' Sean Spicer 'Psst, want a copy of the Trumpedia audiobook? I taped the whole thing.' Michael Cohen 'The pages have good people on both sides.' Steve Bannon 'The president misspoke-he meant that he wouldn't like to read this book.' Sarah Huckabee Sanders ' ' Jared Kushner 'Every word is a lie, it's all true, and Trump should be locked up because he's innocent.' Rudy Giuliani 'Trumpedia makes me proud to be the wife of the first African-American president. Be best!' Melania Trump Covering Trumpian essentials like Mar-a-Lago, Kim Jong-Un, The Mooch, 'covfefe', Miss Universe, fast food and of course Vladimir Putin, among other trending topics, Trumpedia is packed with the 45th president's least favourite things - facts and jokes. Featuring his unlikely successes in television, wrestling and politics, along with disasters like Trump Vodka, Trump 'University' and Trump Child Incarceration, Trumpedia is a roller coaster ride from the absurd to the ridiculous to the genuinely disturbing. It's just like following Trump on Twitter.

Man Vs Child

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 322

Book Description
Hilarious and touching, a novel that just goes to show that not all men in their 30s run screaming from the prospect of fatherhood Tim Wright's friends are abandoning him. He still feels young and irresponsible at the age of 34, but his most reliable drinking buddies have been retiring from action. They've produced no less than 20 of these whining menaces in the past two years, transforming his friends into sleepless zombies who are incapable of doing anything more than feeding and changing their demanding offspring. At least Tim's frustration is giving him some great material for his standup comedy career. Audiences love it when he talks about the deadly new threat to his way of life, Al Childa, whose members simply cannot be negotiated with and pack deadly chemical weapons in their nappies. And now that he's a bit of a celebrity, Tim finds that younger, single women are much more impressed by someone they've seen on TV. But he's discovering that it's impossible to make a real connection with someone who's only talking to you because you're on first-name basis someone famous. Then, as if life weren't already difficult enough, his friend Sally rents an apartment around the corner after her husband leaves her, a mere two years after Tim was cracking jokes at their wedding, and she expects her old buddy, with his conspicuous lack of a day job, to help mind her six-month-old baby, Fabian.

2020 Dictionary

Book Description
From the bestselling author of Strayapedia comes the definitive dictionary of the year the world went to sh*t. 2020 sucked. It's been a year of bushfires, floods, a recession, a global pandemic and Kanye West's presidential campaign. But it was also the year we all watched Hamilton, baked sourdough, had dinner parties on Zoom and drank constantly - okay, so maybe that wasn't such a great thing either. Amid the non-stop trauma, however, it's been a year of togetherness and community spirit - though mostly trauma. But as we limp towards 2021, it's time to look back at it all, and laugh. Because at least we all suffered through this year together. Not literally together - that was generally illegal. But we were side by side in our bubbles, all going through the same thing. The 2020 Dictionary is an invaluable record of all we learned in the year the world turned to sh*t, helpfully collected in alphabetical order, with jokes where appropriate, as well as in some places where they probably aren't. What They Said About This Book* The 2020 Dictionary will just disappear in the spring. Donald Trump I take full responsibility for blaming the health minister for this book. Daniel Andrews Stay six feet away from the book at all times. Dr Anthony Fauci This tome feels rather sesquipedalian. Boris Johnson This book is not allowed into Queensland unless it's playing footy. Annastacia Palaszczuk I've asked Angus Taylor to investigate burning this book as an energy source. Scott Morrison *These quotes are as real as hydroxychloroquine is effective against Covid

Disco Boy

ISBN: 1742745474

Languages : en
Pages : 306

Book Description
A hilarious novel from a great comedic writer, one of the founders of The Chaser's War on Everything. No DJ can mix 'Celebration' into 'Come On Eileen' quite like Paul Johnson, the king of rancid retro. But while he has the musical jumper leads to get even the most dismal party started, he can't get his own life moving. Trapped in a job he despises, a perpetual failure with the ladies and living at home with his distinctly unhelpful parents, Paul's stuck in limbo while everyone around him is limbo-dancing. While he's avoided the corporate mousetrap that's ensnared his friend Nige, Paul dreams of one day playing his own music instead of John Farnham's. But it's much easier to joke about your problems with your friends than to do something about them. A romantic comedy that's equal parts bitingly cynical and naively idealistic, Disco Boy is a story for anyone who's ever hit the Pause button on their life, and found it hard to press Play again.

Groups, Representations and Physics

Author: Hugh F. Jones
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780367805791
Category : MATHEMATICS
Languages : en
Pages : 340

Book Description
Illustrating the fascinating interplay between physics and mathematics, Groups, Representations and Physics, Second Edition provides a solid foundation in the theory of groups, particularly group representations. For this new, fully revised edition, the author has enhanced the book's usefulness and widened its appeal by adding a chapter on the Cartan-Dynkin treatment of Lie algebras. This treatment, a generalization of the method of raising and lowering operators used for the rotation group, leads to a systematic classification of Lie algebras and enables one to enumerate and construct their irreducible representations. Taking an approach that allows physics students to recognize the power and elegance of the abstract, axiomatic method, the book focuses on chapters that develop the formalism, followed by chapters that deal with the physical applications. It also illustrates formal mathematical definitions and proofs with numerous concrete examples.
