Beyond The White Coat

 

The Faces Behind Medical Eponyms

Beyond the white coat, beyond the textbook, lie the people.

We use their names every day-Down, Parkinson, Alzheimer…

But who were they?

Beyond the White Coat uncovers the riveting, and often heartbreaking, human stories behind medicine’s most famous names. These are not just labels; they are tales of curiosity, adversity, and sacrifice.

You’ll meet Robert Graves, who saved a sinking ship with only an axe, and reformers like John Down, who fought for more compassionate care for the intellectually disabled.

Spanning centuries and continents, this book connects you to the individuals whose passions and struggles left an indelible mark on medical science, proving that even in a world of labels and diagnoses, it’s the people who leave the most lasting legacy.

Darwin’s Deceit

In the shadows of history lies a secret waiting to be uncovered

Annabelle Young, a spirited and adventurous young woman, stumbles across a trail of enigmatic clues left behind by Charles Darwin. She unveils a profound secret; an undisclosed island meticulously erased from natural history by Darwin and the HMS Beagle crew.

Annabelle is pulled into a breath-taking race against time. But she is not alone—there are others who seek Darwin’s secret and will stop at nothing to take it for themselves.

With her family and a resurgent love interest at her side, Annabelle must confront her demons and a myriad of secrets, each more perilous than the last. Unravelling the island’s mysteries could change the world—or destroy it.

Darwin’s Deceit is a gripping blend of historical intrigue, relentless adventure, and intellectual suspense. How far would you go to guard a secret that could reshape the world?

Miles Away

A Memoir

Including inside story of Eaglereach Wilderness Resort

Paul Miley was born in Albury and was a war baby. He was exposed to other cultures through the Columbo Plan at his school and the newly arrived post war migrants especially those working on the Snowy Mountains Scheme. His first international adventure was to the Tokyo Olympics in 1964 and then onto North America as a landed immigrant in Canada.

On returning to Australia he moved to Queensland and had the great fortune to secure a position with Qantas Airways which gave him a wide range of opportunities to travel by air internationally and receive a crash course in marketing which would become his other love.

After several executive positions in the tourism industry including at Gold Coast Tourism he spent a decade in various positions at Fairfax Media including at the Australian Financial Review, the Sun and Sun Herald. This commercial background was essential for the development and management of one of the first eco-tourism resorts in Australia. The multi award winning Eaglereach Wilderness Resort in the Hunter region of NSW.

Footy, The Great Leveller

Celebrating Laurie Aghan’s life in Aussie Rules

Laurie Aghan was one of the greatest amateur football coaches Victoria has ever seen – and one of its most engaging storytellers.

Ruthless and disciplined. Staunchly loyal. Tactically masterful. A leader with a deep-seated love for his players and the game of Australian rules football.

His no-nonsense approach to coaching led to incredible success at Reservoir Old Boys, Old Scotch Collegians, Old Melburnians, and the Victorian Amateur Football Association’s Big V program.

Success was never a given for Laurie, however, as he was first forced to overcome extreme poverty and the struggles associated with the South Melbourne slums, the Melbourne Orphanage, and the infamous Camp Pell.

It was these lessons that instilled Laurie with the drive to succeed in every endeavour, whether it be football, business, or any other aspect of life.

His story is equally sad and inspiring, honest and blunt, dark and humorous.

At the end of the day, one thing’s for certain; Laurie pulls no punches.

Testimonial

“I learned of Laurie’s remarkable childhood struggles and survival experiences, and his dogged and determined drive to succeed both in sport and business – in many cases against the odds.”
