Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. When the COVID-19 pandemic swept the world, Australian children's screen use surged - and with it came urgent questions about what this meant for reading, learning and family life. Drawing on national surveys and interviews with families and librarians, Between Reading and Screens uncovers how deeply digital devices have reshaped contemporary childhood.Children are now more likely to own a tablet than a shelf of print books. Yet the story is far more complex than the familiar 'screens versus books' debate. Lockdowns, remote learning and other pandemic restrictions not only intensified children's media use - they also transformed many parents' attitudes. For some, closer involvement in children's digital lives fostered understanding rather than fear. For others, particularly those with limited support or resources, the challenges were profound.This richly researched study situates children's engagement with books and screens where it matters most: within the everyday rhythms of family life. Through survey data and diverse family portraits, it reveals how reading and digital media now intertwine, how parental habits shape household media cultures, and what all this means for the future of children's literacy and imagination.Between Reading and Screens offers a fresh and essential perspective on how families are navigating a rapidly evolving mediascape - and what's at stake for the next generation of readers.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. The dismissal of Gough Whitlam's Labor government on November 11, 1975 was stunning news to most Australians, whichever side of the political divide they inhabited. Many people on first hearing that the Governor-General had sacked the Prime Minister and appointed the Opposition leader as caretaker in his place, simply refused to believe it. Shockwaves from the Dismissal generated profound political and personal ripples, particularly in the lives of those who had come of age in the 1960s and '70s. For some, it was a marker of what had been gained and lost in those remarkable years of change. For others directly involved in events, it was a battle to the political death over principles and power. Here, thirty prominent Australians recall the events of November 11, 1975 and the days and weeks that followed. From Bob Ellis to Bob Hawke, Lindy Morrison to Frank Moorhouse, Michelle Grattan to David Kemp, they take stock of those times with a mixture of passion, pride, regret, scepticism and humour. 166 pages.…
