The Mystic Life of Alfred Deakin
ISBN: 9780521446815 / Angielski / Miękka / 220 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Alfred Deakin (1857 1919) is recognised as an architect of the Australian Federation and served three terms as Prime Minister. Though his life has been well documented, no previous biographer has studied the intense spiritual life of this would-be poet, preacher and mystic. Drawing from volumes of Deakin's private journals and prayerbooks, in this 1993 text Al Gabay presents us with a complex man who had a profound sense of history and who, being convinced that his political life had a divine mandate, yearned for an understanding of his true duty. Throughout his life he was absorbed and...

The nineteenth-century charity bazaar was a paradox. On the one...

Mining Towns: Making a living, making a life
ISBN: 9781742233529 / Angielski / Miękka / 314 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. At any given moment in our history Australia has been in the middle of a mining boom. This timely book is a history of the iconic Australian towns that arose with these booms over a century: Broken Hill, Mount Isa, Queenstown, Mount Morgan, Port Pirie and Kambalda. Mining Towns shows the rich cultural and historical legacy these towns helped create as townspeople - those working below the ground and those above - sought to make their lives in them. The current 'fly-in-fly-out' mining culture means we may not see the likes of them again, which, as this book shows, will be a great loss.

The story of the clipper ship Clontarf: In her short career the Clontarf made only two journeys to New Zealand between 1858-1860; introducing just under 800 emigrants to Canterbury. But before she slipped beneath the North Atlantic ocean she carried with her the unfortunate infamy of accumulating the worst human fatality from illness alone in a single voyage. Using shipboard diaries, official documentation, shipping lists and the combined information from the descendants of Clontarf passengers themselves, this is an informative and in-depth record of the ship and her journeys.

Why Human Security Matters: Rethinking Australian foreign policy
ISBN: 9781743312025 / Angielski / Miękka / 228 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Sea level rises pose a greater long term threat to Australia's coastline and major capital cities than a military attack by a foreign power.

"Why Human Security Matters" argues that Australian external relations need to treat the "soft" issues of security as seriously as it treats the "hard" realities of...
