Book First Edition
1st ed. Hardback octavo, dustjacket, very good condition (in very good dustjacket), minor edgewear jacket, base spine lightly rubbed, small scuff mark front cover, tiny dent bottom edge. 328 pp. The term Antipodes was originally used to refer to "places on the surface of the earth directly opposite each other", and later came to mean Australasia. Thousands of travellers from the northern hemisphere - from Francois Pelsaert, commander of the ill-fated Batavia, to Eric Newby and Jan Morris - have left records of their impressions of the Antipodes; some voyagers - Jonathan Swift, Samuel Butler and Jules Verne, for instance, travelled only in their minds, writing about imaginary voyages. Jan Bassett has collected a delightful selection of 90 extracts from the writings of notable visitors to and imaginers of the Antipodes. These date from about 1605 to the 1990s. Included are dreamers, sailors, adventurers, political commentators and sporting figures.

1st ed. Paperback octavo, very good condition, minor edgewear, owner's written name. 273 pp. The Hungarian-Australian clinical psychologist was blinded in an industrial accident, and learned to see again by persistent internal visualization (as described in "Out of Darkness"). He explores areas as diverse as neuroscience, linguistics, philosophy, and evolutionary biology, and describes how consciousness (reflective awareness) is an innate ability related to language. The results are extraordinary, and will be of great interest to anyone wanting to understand the hard brain-mind problem. Recommended by Oliver Sacks and Daniel Dennett.

Hardback small octavo, dustjacket, very good condition (in very good dustjacket), top edge front cover jacket creased, base spine little rubbed, minor edgewear. 225 pp. This dictionary by Gary Simes introduces the rich and lurid language of the Australian underworld. This is the first Australian dictionary devoted exclusively to the language of criminals, prisoners and denizens of the low-life since James Hardy Vaux published his glossary of 'Flash Language' in 1819. Drawing on collections of words compiled by two prisoners in the 1940s and 1950s, the dictionary offers a comprehensive account of criminal and prison slang in Australia during the first three-quarters of the 20th century. The editor has also written an introduction that places Australian underworld slang within the context of crime writing and crime lexicography generally.
