Win a 3 book non-fiction pack

We've got a great pack of non-fiction books to giveaway, courtesy of our friends at Allen and Unwin.  The pack contains copies of Inside Story by Peter Lloyd, Above the Law by Ross Coulthart and Duncan McNab, and The Happy Economist by Ross Gittins...entries close 5pm AEST Fri 12 November.  Scroll down to enter...

Inside Story: It is July 2008 at 8pm and one of ABC-TV's best-known foreign correspondents, Peter Lloyd, is being arrested on the streets of Singapore. And so begins a dramatic and highly publicised ordeal. In the years before this turning point in his life, it was Peter Lloyd doing the publicising. He had stood among the gruesome human wreckage laid out in an improvised outdoor mortuary after the Bali bombing; joined Thailand's disaster recovery workers collecting the bloated flotsam of the tsunami.

Above the Law: Above the Law takes a hard and chilling look at the global future of organised crime, and reveals that the world's most successful criminal empire is now being operated on a massive scale by outlaw motorcycle gangs - an empire that is growing in power, reach and ruthlessness by the day. Far surpassing the threats posed by the Mafia, Russian syndicates, Chinese Triads and Japanese Yakuza, outlaw motorcycle gangs are now being acknowledged as the greatest current organised crime threat.

The Happy Economist: Most economists are obsessed with financial and economic measures, but not Ross Gittins. In The Happy Economist he mounts a provocative and persuasive case for a different approach. He argues that happiness is our most important measure of economic success. Distilling the practical wisdom from all the recent scientific study of happiness by psychologists and economists, Ross claims that happiness isn't about maintaining a forced smile or a self-centred concern to maximise pleasure and minimise pain, but about living a satisfying life of endeavour, achievement and mutually rewarding relationships.
