  • Tales From The Political Trenchesby Maxine McKew

    Melbourne University Publishing 2012; Not Available

    ?Julia Gillard was impatient for the prime ministership, and either worked with or allowed others to manufacture a sense of crisis around Rudd?s leadership. She then cut down a prime minister in his first term and tried to pretend it was in the national interest to do so. Since then, she has been the architect of her own misfortune.? In Tales from... more...

    More than two centuries after Master’s Mate Fletcher Christian led a mutiny against Lieutenant William Bligh on a small, armed transport vessel called Bounty, the true story of this enthralling adventure has become obscured by the legend.

  • Renovation Nationby Fiona Allon

    University of NSW Press 2008; US$ 22.50

    Renovation Nation asks why we have become so wrapped up in our homes.

  • Race and the Crisis of Humanismby Kay Anderson

    Taylor and Francis 2012; US$ 39.95

    The idea that humankind constituted a unity, albeit at different stages of 'development', was in the 19th century challenged with a new way of thinking. The 'savagery' of certain races was no longer regarded as a stage in their progress towards 'civilisation', but as their permanent state. What caused this shift? In Kay Anderson's provocative new... more...

    Gold was discovered in Australia in 1851, and within a year the infant colony was transformed from a sump for convicts to a Land of Opportunity.
