Distilled from 8+ years of experience in the GAMSAT exam field and helping 6000+ students achieve statistically significant score improvements over the course of the years, the GradReady GAMSAT Preparation Textbook offers a comprehensive set of information needed for success in the GAMSAT exam. Together with GradReady’s industry leading algorithmic based online adaptive-learning system and Australia wide live courses, the GradReady GAMSAT Preparation Textbook is set out to bring out the best in your abilities. GradReady was founded by a group of medical doctors from the University of Melbourne. Our aim was to help students in their GAMSAT® preparations. We found existing GAMSAT® exam preparation courses to be overly didactic, inattentive to differing student needs, and lacking in online tools. Using our experience in education and IT, and leveraging the expertise of former lecturers at University of Western Australia and University of Otago, we founded GradReady, an education provider that is in sync with evolving educational philosophies. p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 10.1px Arial; color: #000000}
GAMSAT Biology consists of a comprehensive and rigorously developed collection of multiple choice questions (MCQs), covering the core topics assessed in Section III of the GAMSAT. Each chapter tackles a different component of the biological sciences, and corresponds to the level expected of a first-year undergraduate biology student. These practice questions can be completed under exam conditions or attempted sequentially to help consolidate your learning. By working through these MCQs and the detailed solutions provided, you will not only broaden your scientific knowledge base but significantly improve your critical thinking and problem solving skills. Accordingly, this book will equip you, whether a science or non-science graduate, with the foundations necessary to excel in the biology section of the GAMSAT, and ultimately secure that all-important place at medical school.
Narrated by over twenty distinct voices and full of dangerous humour, English Passengers combines wit, adventure and historical detail in a mesmerizing display of storytelling. When Captain Illiam Quillian Kewley and his band of smugglers have their contraband confiscated they are forced to put their ship, Sincerity, up for charter. The only takers are two Englishmen, the Reverend Geoffrey Wilson, who believes that the Garden of Eden was on the island of Tasmania, and Dr. Thomas Potter who is developing his sinister thesis concerning the races of man. Meanwhile an aboriginal in Tasmania, Peevay, recounts his people's struggles against the invading British. As the English passengers haplessly approach his land, their bizarre notions ever more painfully at odds with reality, we know a mighty collision is looming.

A refreshing distillation of insights into the human condition, by one of the best-known and most popular philosophers in the UK. Thinking about life, what it means and what it holds in store does not have to be a despondent experience, but rather can be enlightening and uplifting. A life truly worth living is one that is informed and considered so a degree of philosophical insight into the inevitabilities of the human condition is inherently important and such an approach will help us to deal with real personal dilemmas. This book is an accessible, lively and thought-provoking series of linked commentaries, based on A. C. Grayling's 'The Last Word' column in the GUARDIAN. Its aim is not to persuade readers to accept one particular philosophical point of view or theory, but to help us consider the wonderful range of insights which can be drawn from an immeasurably rich history of philosophical thought. Concepts covered include courage, love, betrayal, ambition, cruelty, wisdom, passion, beauty and death. This will be a wonderfully stimulating read and act as an invaluable guide as to what is truly important in living life, whether facing success, failure, justice, wrong, love, loss or any of the other profound experience life throws out.
