Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition. A biography covering the full range of Sir Douglas Mawson's life and work, his character and attainments, his virtues and faults, his place in the past and his significance for the present. Sir Douglas Mawson was Australia's pre-eminent Antarctic explorer, a tall, quiet scientist who survived several gruelling polar expeditions, and went on to play a notable role in the academic and research establishment. He is most famed for an ill-fated expedition in 1913, in which he trekked hundreds of kilometres alone, without supplies, after his two companions perished. But he was also the main architect of Australia's official Antarctic presence in the first half of the twentieth century, instrumental in the Australian Government's decision to claim part of Antarctica, and in the founding of Australia's major organization for Antarctic exploration and research. Philip Ayres' life of Mawson is the definitive biography of the polar explorer, who died in 1958. In this richly researched and well-illustrated work, he paints a picture of a man who was a brave and resourceful hero, but also a deeply flawed personality. Dust jacket has a small closed tear to bottom of front cover. 320 pages. Inscription to previous owner on front endpaper. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: 1-2 kilos.

Final charges may vary depending on size and weight. This moment was not his alone, nor could it ever have come about without him - Gough Whitlam turned to Graham Freudenberg, touched him lightly on the shoulder, saying, 'It's been a long road, Comrade, but we're there', and walked out to meet the spotlight. Acclaimed biographer Jenny Hocking's Gough Whitlam: A Moment In History is the first contemporary and definitive biographical study of the former Labor Prime Minister. From his childhood in the fledgling city of Canberra to his first appearance as Prime Minister (playing Neville Chamberlain), to his extensive war service in the Pacific and marriage to Margaret, the champion swimmer and daughter of Justice Wilfred Dovey, the biography draws on previously unseen archival material, extensive interviews with family and colleagues, and exclusive interviews with Gough Whitlam himself. Hocking's narrative skill and scrupulous research reveals an extraordinary and complex man whose life is, in every way, formed by the remarkable events of previous generations of his family, and who would, in turn, change Australian political and cultural developments in the twentieth century.

They loved structure, the veins of the leaf, the relation of the leaf to the stem, the arrangement of the seed in the pod, and everything to do with the composition of the flower. They loved the surfaces of fruit, with their characteristic blemishes. They loved laying out their information on the page, in a standard scientific manner but with great energy of composition. (That is why their books have so often been disbound and the illustrations framed.) And some of them liked devising sublime landscapes for a background, to give some sense of native habitat, while Johann Volckhammer, in a great book on fruit produced in Nuremberg in the early 18th century, had the idea of placing the fruit in the sky above aerial views of the great houses in Europe where they were being cultivated. So it is that we find a grapefruit (or grapefruit-ancestor), labelled Pompelmus, hovering over a baroque moated Schloss, looking like something devised by Magritte. Elsewhere, an airborne aubergine.The idiom of these illustrations changes as the techniques for reproduction change. Woodcuts come first, followed by steel engravings, both of them coloured by hand, so that what you are looking at is the work not just of artist and engraver but also of countless, nameless, highly skilled drudges, who brought the work to its exquisite finish. .Precise technical description of a plant, coupled with a drawing, takes us a long way towards identification. The early botanical artists' work is by no means useless to us today. Often the scientific names have changed, but the flower itself jumps out at us from the page. We say: I've seen that, or I grow that. Perhaps it is familiar. But to many of these artists it was not familiar at all. It spoke of the great unknown, of uncharted creation. It seemed the latest word in the bizarre." - James Fenton.

Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: As New. First Edition. One life, many roles: soldier, brilliant barrister, High Court judge, Governor-General, Australian diplomat, mediator in Northern Ireland, member of the first war crimes tribunal since Nuremburg and Tokyo, head of UN and Commonwealth missions to crisis zones from Cambodia to Burma to Bangladesh, Sir Ninian Stephen is the recipient of five knighthoods and the most honoured Australian in historyand yet precisely because so much of his work was international it has rarely received the notice it deserves in his home country. In this, the first whole-of-life biography of the subject, Philip Ayres traces Stephen's early life in Scotland, England and around continental Europe, from Edinburgh and the Highlands to the spa towns of France and Germany, from the ski runs above Montreux to the Nuremberg Rally of 1938, including the details of his education at outstanding British and Swiss schools and his highly unorthodox "family" life as an only child with an absent father, the details of which, like so much here, have never previously been revealed. All this constitutes the unknown Ninian Stephen, and yet so much else in this book is new: the wartime Stephen, the barrister Stephen, and all the other aspects of his life traced in precise yet dramatic detail in a book whose momentum is generated through unique access to the full resources of the subject's personal papers. 319 pages.

The fascinating account of the voyage of d'Entrecasteaux commissioned by the French Revolutionary National Assembly in search of the missing explorer La Perouse. In the third year of the French Revolution, the National Assembly sent the d'Entrecasteaux expedition to the Pacific to search for the missing explorer La Perouse. Like the nation itself the expedition was divided by politics; there were both republicans and monarchists aboard. And besides servicemen there were civilians-the naturalists, whose interests often cut across those of mariners. The archives of the expedition, which include a wealth of candid and amusing private journals, reveal how d'Entrecasteaux, despite tensions that strained personal friendships, commanded enough respect to keep the expedition operational. Though it found no trace of La Perouse it made valuable discoveries in geography, botany and anthropology. The voyage, however, ended at Sourabaya in irreversible division with d'Entrecasteaux dead, the arch-monarchist d'Auribeau in command and the French receiving after two years their first news from home of regicide, terror and war. The narrative concludes by tracing the adventurous paths taken by survivors to reach home, and the stratagems they used to save the records of the expedition. (publisher blurb) Includes bibliography and index.
