About the Author:
Review:
Bob Bennett is the author of six books on rabbit raising, including "Storey sGuide to Raising Rabbits"""and "Rabbit Housing, "as well as numerous magazine and newspaper articles. He has served as the editor of "Rabbits" magazine, has beena contributing editor to "Countryside" magazine, and is the founder of "Domestic Rabbits "and a past director of the American Rabbit Breeders Association. Bennett lives in Vermont, where he has raised rabbits for more than 50 years.
...meets the high production standards readers have come to expect from Federation Press publications. Given the stature of the authors, it is not surprising that the 11 papers successfully inform the reader of the vision propounded by those people who were responsible for drafting the Australian Constitution in the final decade of the 19th century. The various authorsaEURO (TM) evaluations of the role played by Parliament in the development of the Australian Constitution throughout the 20th century are similarly thorough and useful. aEURO| The collection well demonstrates that the framersaEURO (TM) vision for the Parliament was cautious. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why the institution has endured. Many readers may depart this book believing that our constitutional commentators are performing at a higher level than our national legislature. The authors and editors merit praise. Professor Neil Rees, Newcastle Law Review, Volume 7(1) 2003
