The Last Misunderstanding
What if the truth was never lost…only misread?
In a world flooded with instant opinions, algorithmic judgements, and half-heard stories, The Last Misunderstanding explores how narratives are formed, distorted, defended, and weaponised. From institutions to individuals, from private conversations to public outrage, this book examines how meaning breaks down… and why misunderstanding is rarely accidental.
Blending sharp insight with real-world cases and psychological depth, Dr Jasmine Mohsen reveals how perception, timing, power, and emotion shape what we believe to be true.
Readers are taken inside the hidden mechanics of interpretation: how reputations are built or destroyed, how messages are reframed, and how silence can speak louder than evidence.

Looking After Hospitality
Hospitality is not a department. It is a decision about how you treat people—made again and again in thirty-second moments that determine whether a guest feels truly looked after or quietly disappointed.
Drawing on more than fifty years leading hotels and cruise operations around the world, Bruno Pellizzari invites readers behind the scenes of a demanding, deeply human industry where systems matter, but people decide everything. From training academies in Manila and Indonesia to the high-pressure reality of cruise ships carrying thousands of guests, he reveals how trust, preparation, and courage at the front line transform ordinary service into lasting loyalty.
This is not leadership theory written from an office. It is a practical philosophy forged through real responsibility—where fear kills hospitality, empowerment creates ownership, and turning the hierarchy upside down becomes the only way to truly put the guest at the centre.
Whether you are a general manager, department head, future leader, or simply someone who believes hospitality should still feel human, this book challenges how you think about control, cost, and culture—and makes one clear promise: when you invest in people first, the results will follow.

Daisy's Amazing Auras
Daisy woke up excited, as this was going to be her first day at preschool, where she was going to be able to meet new friends and play, even make a mess painting.
And doing cut-outs, it was going to be so much fun. Daisy’s friend Annie was going to meet her at the gate to show her around and meet the teachers.
“Wow,” Daisy thought, “I can paint auras and show everyone while telling them what all the colours mean. This was going to be so much fun.”
“Come on, Shelby!” she says as she bounces on the bed for her morning cuddle, knocking her clothes off the bed. I’ll have to get dressed. I have a lot to do today.

Did You Do Your Homework to Find the Truth? I read and understand—therefore, I am
Whether you stand at the altar of faith or tread the path of scepticism, this book invites you into a shared human task—thinking seriously about the question that shape existence. Life is a big classroom; it teaches relentlessly. From the moment we become aware, we are placed in a vast school without walls, desks, or bells. Its curriculum is existence itself. Every human being is entrusted with a quiet mission—to seek understanding, to question deeply, and to arrive at truth through sincere effort. Its lessons unfold through reason, experience, suffering, discovery, and reflection. And its most pressing question is not ‘What do you believe?’, but how did you arrive there? When this book asks, “Did you do your homework to find the truth?” it invokes intellectual responsibility. In the school of life, homework is the disciplined effort to read, examine, question, and understand—rather than inherit, imitate, or repeat. Too often, beliefs about God, meaning, and existence are adopted without investigation. Authority is borrowed. Slogans replace reasoning. Doubt is asserted, not examined. Yet in every other serious domain of life, claims demand evidence, arguments demand logic, and conclusions demand justification. — Why, then, should the most fundamental questions of existence be treated differently? Drawing from science, philosophy, logic, and revelation, this book challenges the reader to step into the adulthood of thought. It examines the most common responses used to deny the existence of God and asks a simple but unsettling question: have you done the intellectual work to justify your beliefs—or merely accepted them unexamined?Life is the school.Reason is the tool.Understanding is the responsibility.The mission is to seek truth with honesty and courage. This book does not ask what to think. It asks whether you have done the work required to think at all.An invitation to move from inherited answers to examined understanding.

Under the Barkly Sky
In Under the Barkly Sky, Stuart Phillpot provides a comprehensive history of the Barkly Region’s Traditional Owners. This well-researched book chronicles the resilience of the Wumparrani peoples over 150 years in the face of colonisation, cultural erosion, and changing government policies. Phillpot combines historical records, Indigenous voices, and analysis to tell a story of resilience, adaptation, and their ongoing struggle for justice.
From the violent ‘Killing Times’ to land rights victories and the hope for an Indigenous ‘Voice’ to Parliament, Under the Barkly Sky reflects Australia’s colonial legacy and invites us to envision a fairer future.
This book is for those seeking to understand the challenges and resilience of the Barkly’s Aboriginal communities, and offers valuable insights for policymakers, researchers, and everyone who is interested in these aspects of Australia’s history.
“Under the Barkly Sky explores the interactions between non-Aboriginal with and the Barkly Traditional Owners, the continuing violence and deaths, land rights successes, and never-ending changes to complex government policies affecting Aboriginal communities over the last 150 years.”
Pat Dodson - Former Minister of Indigenous Affairs (2022-2024)
“Stuart Phillpot powerfully highlights the negative experiences of Australian Indigenous people resulting from Australia’s ongoing contradictory interpretations of internationally accepted human rights. The stories and reflections in Under the Barkly Sky tackle many profound philosophical issues. Reading this book will be rewarding for those seeking the truth.”
Lieutenant General John Sanderson AC - Governor of Western Australia (2000-2005)My writing of this book has been supported by a team of advisors across many areas of knowledge.
These include Indigenous peoples and their lands, cultures, and histories. politics, society, wealth and poverty, and the resulting inter-woven history of constant change.
Additionally, I wish to thank my friend David Carroll for his invaluable, multifaceted skills and support in framing and guiding the book’s progress towards publication as a valuable chronicle.
