Book
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Sometimes things just happen. And when a number of things just happen around the same time in the same place there can be unexpected outcomes. This book is about Australia in the 1870s. It involves a disastrous shipwreck, a young Irish woman named Eva Carmichael, a sheep and cattle farm, a rabbit plague and selectors people who were allowed to set up farms on vacant government land. It tells the true story of how these were all tied together by telegraph wire. Halstead Press presents Paul Ashtons series of short texts designed to integrate with the Australian Curriculum for Humanities and Social Sciences and English, each focussed on the role that accident and serendipity play in the past and making history. Each short story provides an opportunity for students to engage with history while improving their core language, research and critical thinking skills. They allow for students to understand how that history is not just something that can be found in textbooks, but rather that it is something which is constantly being made around them, and that they are creating their own histories every day. The stories are being written by Paul Ashton, a historian who has published ten history textbooks for Australian schools.

Book
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Paul Ashtons If its Not True It Should Be centers around the state of Australian historical fiction and is comprised of several pieces which illustrate the way in which history and literature relate to each other. Whilst history grounds creativity, creative non-fiction allows readers to connect with, and immerse themselves in, historical events. As well as being immersive, this work is also accurate, thereby informing the reader and bridging the gap between creativity and historical accuracy. Ten of the contributors are academically trained historians, whilst the other six are eminent writers of historical fiction. This ensures that a balance is achieved between imagination and precision, providing appropriate context and methodology that informs whilst inviting the reader to visualise and personally connect with the events in question.Apart from being passionate about history, the contributors in this book all share a desire to harness the past in their creative writing practices: to draw on historical sources, both traditional and promiscuous; to develop well grounded historical imaginations which allow them to fill cracks, gaps or chasms in what are invariably incomplete, invented or censored archives; to look through the eyes of others; to read historical landscapes on the ground and in the mind; and to look to history for inspiration.Like all good creative non-fiction history and historical fiction, its engaging, evocative of time and place, deals with significant events and issueshowever large or smallshows different perspectives and is well researched.This book is significant in that it conveys the notion that historians need to think of themselves as writers, as the utilisation of literary forms allows them to widen their audience and contribute towards the increasing accessibility of history. This is not only the history of the Old Knox Grammarians Association but is also part anthology, part encyclopedia, part statistics, part observation and part reflection.

Book
Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Until Laurence Halloran got to Australia in Governor Macquaries time, there was nowhere for anyone to get more than rudimentary schooling. But Australias educational leader in convict times was a flawed and fascinating product of the 18th century. Biographer Jan Worthington gives us the first book to present the whole, sordid story of the self-styled doctor of classical studies-who in England as a naval recruit was jailed for knifing a fellow sailor. Who had to flee South Africa when he enraged colonial authorities. Who trailed around wives, mistresses and 22 children in a career on four continents. Who impersonated a graduate and a clergyman, and was transported to N.S.W. after authorities found conterfeit print blocks in his flat. With a gift of alienating people who mattered, Halloran had to keep on the move, so his life story is a stranger-than-fiction tour through the high society and low life of a bygone world: capital cities, battles, English villages, churches, prisons, rising colonies, schools and ships. Thoroughly researched and richly illustrated. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This richly illustrated survey of Cadburys in Australia includes the story of famous products like Freddo Frogs, Dairy Milk chocolate, Cherry Ripes and Bournville Cocoa. It reveals Australians experience of Cadbury during peacetime and war, depression and prosperity. Theres a lot in it for chocolate lovers and for history buffs. Also insights into market leadership, and a record of how the brand earnt and maintained the trust and affection of millions. The checkered and creative careers of Cadburys competitors add drama to the narrative. In his balanced survey of highs and lows, Robert Crawford explains how the British parent company founded its first overseas factory, in Tasmania, and how that later helped to launch Australian innovations in China, America and other countries. After a hundred years manufacturing in Australia, Cadburys renown is hardly surprising. But this book goes further back, to find Cadbury already a household name in Gold Rush times. It describes distribution hubs Cadburys operated in Australian colonies, while representatives covered the country, even travelling the outback with camels. Cadburys current ethos of care for the environment and social equity is traced back to the Quaker origins of the British and Australian enterprises. Its interesting to read of the moral concerns that made Cadbury wary of being identified with the war effort and Sydneys Gay Mardi Gras. But most interesting in this book is what it reveals about generations of Australians, their memories, and their place in the world.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Named "a genius if there ever was one", Czech refugee Alex Jelinek created Australias 1957 House of the Year in the uniquely modern city of Canberra. This is the story of how Canberras Round House came to be designed, built, and lived in alongside the stories of the people who turned it into the home it is today. The cultural intensity of the Benjamin familys lives in the 1960s and 1970s is brought vividly to life by the author, who in 1999 bought back the house and undertook its restoration. Lovers of mid-century modern design will revel in this first-hand account of a childhood spent in the crucible of 60s culture.Rogers Growing up Modern won Highly Commended in the 2023 Art, Writing and Publishing Awards (AWAPAS), an annual art history book award that recognises the best in arts writing and research across Australasia.
