	MACINTYRE, STUART. A Concise History Of Australia, Cambridge University Press, Cambridge: 2005. Softcover. Brand new book. Australia is the last continent to be settled by Europeans, but it also sustains a people and a culture tens of thousands of years old. For much of the past 200 years the newcomers have sought to replace the old with the new. This book tells how they imposed themselves on the land, and brought technology, institutions and ideas to make it their own. It relates the advance from penal colony to a prosperous free nation and illustrates how, in a nation created by waves of newcomers, the search for binding traditions has long been frustrated by the feeling of rootlessness. This revised edition incorporates the most recent historical research and contemporary historical debates on frontier violence between European settlers and Aborigines and the Stolen Generations. It covers the Sydney Olympics, the refugee crisis and the 'Pacific solution'. More than ever before, Australians draw on the past to understand their future. The contents of this book is as follows: 1. Beginnings; 2. Newcomers, c.1600-1792; 3. Coercion, 1793-1821; 4. Emancipation, 1822-1850; 5. In thrall to progress, 1851-1888; 6. National reconstruction, 1889-1913; 7. Sacrifice, 1914-1945; 8. Golden age, 1946-1974; 9. Reinventing Australia, 1975-2003; 10. What next? From reviews of the first edition: At long last here is an accessible, sensible, learned and digestible history of Australia. It is a triumph of Stuart Macintyre's notable scholarship that he has come up with a book that is concise - not brief, not abbreviated - sharp and to the point Éthis is a tremendously useful tool for locals and outsiders. It should sit on every Australian's bookshelf, next to the dictionary and the atlas. - Nick Richardson, Herald-Sun ¶ 340 pages.

	MCCALMAN, IAIN; COOK, ALEXANDER & REEVES, ANDREW (EDITORS). Gold: Forgotten Histories And Lost Objects Of Australia. Cambridge University Press, Cambridge: 2001. Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. Throughout history, gold has been the stuff of legends, fortunes, conflict and change. The discovery of gold in Australia 150 years ago precipitated enormous developments in the newly settled land. Immigrants flooded in from Asia and Europe, and the population and economy boomed in spontaneous cities. The effects on both the environment and indigenous Aboriginal peoples have been profound and lasting. In this book, a team of prominent historians and curators have collaborated to produce a cultural history of gold and its impact on the development of Australian society. This fascinating book will add a new dimension to previously recorded Australian history, and provide a richer understanding of the foundations of Australian culture. Like a handful of tailings, Gold brings together a collection of stories that have been left out of standard Australian histories. It is an essential history. Lavishly illustrated with color wraps and halftones throughout. Vivid, readable stories that will appeal to general readers. An innovative and entertaining history of Australian culture. Its contents are as follows: PART I: GOLD AND MODERNITY - THE IMPACT OF THE GOLD RUSHES ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE AUSTRALIAN COLONIES 1 Making an edgier history of gold; David Goodman 2 'The finger of God': Gold's impact on New South Wales; Paul Pickering 3 Gold-rush Melbourne; Graeme Davison 4 Labour and trade unionism in Victorian goldmining: Bendigo, 1861-1915; Charles Fahey 5 Mullock heaps and tailing mounds: the environmental effects of alluvial goldmining; Barry McGowan PART II: IMMIGRANTS AND ETHNIC RELATIONS 6 'Men of all nations, except Chinamen': Europeans and Chinese on the goldfields of New South Wales; Ann Curthoys 7 Undesirable persons: race and West Australian mining legislation; Patrick Bertola 8 Golden opportunities?

Gold is lavishly illustrated and beautifully produced, and will prove a most useful adornment to most academic bookshelves É it embroiders the mainstream story with a wealth of stimulating and useful contextual material, and this establishes it as a valuable teaching tool, and a most readable highly recommended text. -The Journal of Imperial and Commonwealth History.

	SEDDON, GEORGE; TOTTERDELL, COLIN (PHOTOGRAPHS). The Old Country: Australian Landscapes, Plants And People. Cambridge University Press, Cambridge: 2006. Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. We are a nation of gardeners, and we take pleasure in tending our backyards. But this pleasure sits uneasily with our knowledge that the places where most of us live are running out of water. We suspect that our lawns and many of our plants from the damp climates of northern European gardens are too demanding of scarce supplies, but can't imagine our streets and gardens without them. The Old Country opens our eyes, and minds, to other possibilities. It does so by telling us stories about our natural landscape. George Seddon believes that the better we understand the delicacy and beauty of our natural environment, the more 'at home' we will feel as Australians. This passionate, wise and witty book, enriched with breathtakingly beautiful illustrations, suggests that the answers to our water problems lie here, at home. This beautiful book is written by the country's greatest writer on the Australian landscape. It will help all Australians to change their attitudes towards native plants, promoting a wiser use of our scarce water resources. George Seddon is Australia's finest placewriter. He combines a light touch with a sureness of foot. The result is a clarity of insight as striking as a Freemantle summer's day. This book offers itself as a companion to the journey that we call Australia. Seddon's achievement is of the finest kind - he connects, but he also speaks with an honesty and precision that is breathtaking. - Peter Beilharz, La Trobe University. Includes an Index. ¶ 270 pages.

	MACINTYRE, STUART. A Concise History Of Australia, Cambridge University Press, Cambridge: 2005. Softcover. Brand new book. Australia is the last continent to be settled by Europeans, but it also sustains a people and a culture tens of thousands of years old. For much of the past 200 years the newcomers have sought to replace the old with the new. This book tells how they imposed themselves on the land, and brought technology, institutions and ideas to make it their own. It relates the advance from penal colony to a prosperous free nation and illustrates how, in a nation created by waves of newcomers, the search for binding traditions has long been frustrated by the feeling of rootlessness. This revised edition incorporates the most recent historical research and contemporary historical debates on frontier violence between European settlers and Aborigines and the Stolen Generations. It covers the Sydney Olympics, the refugee crisis and the 'Pacific solution'. More than ever before, Australians draw on the past to understand their future. The contents of this book is as follows: 1. Beginnings; 2. Newcomers, c.1600-1792; 3. Coercion, 1793-1821; 4. Emancipation, 1822-1850; 5. In thrall to progress, 1851-1888; 6. National reconstruction, 1889-1913; 7. Sacrifice, 1914-1945; 8. Golden age, 1946-1974; 9. Reinventing Australia, 1975-2003; 10. What next? From reviews of the first edition: At long last here is an accessible, sensible, learned and digestible history of Australia. It is a triumph of Stuart Macintyre's notable scholarship that he has come up with a book that is concise - not brief, not abbreviated - sharp and to the point Éthis is a tremendously useful tool for locals and outsiders. It should sit on every Australian's bookshelf, next to the dictionary and the atlas. - Nick Richardson, Herald-Sun ¶ 340 pages.

	MCCALMAN, IAIN; COOK, ALEXANDER & REEVES, ANDREW (EDITORS). Gold: Forgotten Histories And Lost Objects Of Australia. Cambridge University Press, Cambridge: 2001. Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. Throughout history, gold has been the stuff of legends, fortunes, conflict and change. The discovery of gold in Australia 150 years ago precipitated enormous developments in the newly settled land. Immigrants flooded in from Asia and Europe, and the population and economy boomed in spontaneous cities. The effects on both the environment and indigenous Aboriginal peoples have been profound and lasting. In this book, a team of prominent historians and curators have collaborated to produce a cultural history of gold and its impact on the development of Australian society. This fascinating book will add a new dimension to previously recorded Australian history, and provide a richer understanding of the foundations of Australian culture. Like a handful of tailings, Gold brings together a collection of stories that have been left out of standard Australian histories. It is an essential history. Lavishly illustrated with color wraps and halftones throughout. Vivid, readable stories that will appeal to general readers. An innovative and entertaining history of Australian culture. Its contents are as follows: PART I: GOLD AND MODERNITY - THE IMPACT OF THE GOLD RUSHES ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE AUSTRALIAN COLONIES 1 Making an edgier history of gold; David Goodman 2 'The finger of God': Gold's impact on New South Wales; Paul Pickering 3 Gold-rush Melbourne; Graeme Davison 4 Labour and trade unionism in Victorian goldmining: Bendigo, 1861-1915; Charles Fahey 5 Mullock heaps and tailing mounds: the environmental effects of alluvial goldmining; Barry McGowan PART II: IMMIGRANTS AND ETHNIC RELATIONS 6 'Men of all nations, except Chinamen': Europeans and Chinese on the goldfields of New South Wales; Ann Curthoys 7 Undesirable persons: race and West Australian mining legislation; Patrick Bertola 8 Golden opportunities?

	SEDDON, GEORGE; TOTTERDELL, COLIN (PHOTOGRAPHS). The Old Country: Australian Landscapes, Plants And People. Cambridge University Press, Cambridge: 2006. Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. We are a nation of gardeners, and we take pleasure in tending our backyards. But this pleasure sits uneasily with our knowledge that the places where most of us live are running out of water. We suspect that our lawns and many of our plants from the damp climates of northern European gardens are too demanding of scarce supplies, but can't imagine our streets and gardens without them. The Old Country opens our eyes, and minds, to other possibilities. It does so by telling us stories about our natural landscape. George Seddon believes that the better we understand the delicacy and beauty of our natural environment, the more 'at home' we will feel as Australians. This passionate, wise and witty book, enriched with breathtakingly beautiful illustrations, suggests that the answers to our water problems lie here, at home. This beautiful book is written by the country's greatest writer on the Australian landscape. It will help all Australians to change their attitudes towards native plants, promoting a wiser use of our scarce water resources. George Seddon is Australia's finest placewriter. He combines a light touch with a sureness of foot. The result is a clarity of insight as striking as a Freemantle summer's day. This book offers itself as a companion to the journey that we call Australia. Seddon's achievement is of the finest kind - he connects, but he also speaks with an honesty and precision that is breathtaking. - Peter Beilharz, La Trobe University. Includes an Index. ¶ 270 pages.
