A Game of Our Own - the Origins of Australian Football
Black Inc. 2010 Paperback, 274pp. Today Australian Rules football is a multi-million-dollar business, with superstar players, high-profile presidents and enough scandals to fill a soap opera. The game has changed beyond recognition or has it? In A Game of Our Own, esteemed historian Geoffrey Blainey documents the birth of our great national game. Who were the characters and champions of the early days of Australian football? How was the VFL formed? Why was the umpire's job so difficult? Blainey takes a sceptical look at the idea that the game had its origins in Ireland or in Aboriginal pastimes. Instead he demonstrates that footy was a series of inventions. The game played in 1880 was very different to that of 1860, just as the game played today is different again. Journey back to an era when the ground was not oval, when captains acted as umpires, when players wore caps and jerseys bearing forgotten colours and kicked a round ball that soon lost its shape. A Game of Our Own is a fascinating social history and a compulsory read for all true fans of the game. 'Australians are not only very good at playing sport we invent it as well. Fans of the game will love this book; it is a great read about a great game and how it all began.'Ron Barassi. (ISBN: 9781863954853). Very Good.

¶ An argument for the existence of a mental see saw which in the last 250 years has affected a wide range of human attitudes and activities. When the see saw tilts to extreme optimism or pessimism, all kinds of attitudes,normally seen as unconnected, move too. A variety of intellectual activities and movements are partly under the sway of the seesaw, but its powerful influence is rarely noticed. A knowledge of the see saw helps to explain events that seem as far apart as the oil crisis of the 1970s and the counter culture of the 1960s, the high confidence of the mid- nineteenth century and the Cult of the Noble Savage in the era of Rousseau and Captain Cook. The author argues that the present economic crisis has close links with the see saw, though the see saw itself is more than an economic mechanism" - publisher's description.
