“I hope his book will lead to more journalistic self-reflection and
intellectual honesty.” —Werner Sollers, Harvard University

American history and show you something new.”

An eloquent tale about tolerance and

story shows how Mother and Father
Koala’s suspicions of the “other” bears are
mollified. The Koalas don’t like the pan-

believe that black bears are noisy and that
brown bears have big teeth. However, all
of the Koalas’ grumpiness melts away
when they watch the littlest bears at play.

A Tapestry of
Human Sexuality
in Africa
Edited by Oka Obono
All too often, sexuality in Africa is exam-
ined through the lenses of epidemic and
disease, but this study celebrates human
diversity and calls for a more responsible
and broadminded view of sexual practices
on the continent. From dating in the
Eastern Cape to living as a lesbian, bisexu-
al, or gay person in Cape Town, from gen-
der violence in Nigeria to female circum-
cision in Kenya, the discussion weaves
threads from many traditions and provides
a colorful and intricate examination of
human sexuality in contemporary Africa.
Oka Obono is a policy analyst and a sen-
ior lecturer at the University of Ibadan in
Nigeria. He is the principal researcher for
a multi-year project aimed at increasing
male responsibility for reproductive
health, both personally and at the house-
hold and community levels.

The Cultural Economy
of Hospitality, Magic
and the Senses
Tom O’Dell
From 17th-century Sweden to the present
time, this remarkable volume provides a
historical perspective on the manner in
which hospitality has developed from a
private right and obligation to a commer-
cialized product. Examining the ways reli-
gion, belief, and notions of health and
wellness have been intertwined in the
world of spas, this account argues for an
appreciation of the role that magic, sereni-
ty, and rejuvenation play as a facilitator of
economic processes and as a source of
perceptions of health. Aimed at advanced
students and scholars, this record will
interest those in the fields of anthropolo-
gy, hospitality, and sociology.

From the point of view of a renowned
anthropologist, this invaluable volume nar-
rates the history of a multicultural New
Zealand in which both Maori and non-
Maori individuals cohabitate. Arguing that
the Treaty of Waitangi of 1840 established
a foundation from which New Zealanders
could grow and prosper, this account
demonstrates how two cultures met, dis-
puted, and dealt with diversity. In addition,
this unique record analyzes the country’s
languages and myths and explores how
they have influenced New Zealand society.
Moving and engaging, this record covers
six decades of enlightening field work.

Building Knowledge
in Architecture
Richard Foqué
Case studies are used extensively as teach-
ing tools at schools of law, medicine, and
business administration, and this reference
argues that architectural training should
also include more reading and writing of
case studies. Noting that scientific con-
cepts and questions of design are the first
priority in architecture, the discussion rec-
ommends adding case studies to the cur-
riculum as a practical—rather than
theoretical—tool for documenting compli-
cated building projects, finding solutions
to technical problems, and expanding a
firm’s expertise.

A Memoir
Patrick Mangan
Set among the gum trees and dust, this is
the story of a weedy Pommy kid falling in
love with the world game and his epic bat-
tle to convert the pagans of the outback to
the cause. From the moment he could kick
a ball, Patrick Mangan was fanatical
about soccer. And what he lacked in skill,
he made up for in a devotion not shared,
sadly, by the residents of the Wimmera.
This memoir is about how sports and
nationality shape identity, and how a boy
came to love the occasionally heroic,
sometimes tragic, World Cup–bound
Socceroos.
Patrick Mangan is the former editor of

“Captures the essence of Reid’s life and
career.” —Saturday Daily Telegraph
Bold and thorough, this biography traces
the life of one of Australia’s most contro-
versial and legendary journalists, Alan
“The Red Fox” Reid, who covered the
nation’s politics from the 1930s to the
1980s. Demonstrating how Reid not only
reported the news but shaped it due to
his connections with Labor Prime
Ministers Ben Chifley and John Curtin,
this volume covers a number of momen-
tous events in Reid’s career—including
his early associations with the Labor
Party, his split with the party in the
1950s, and his breaking of the “36 face-
less men” story in 1963, exposing the 36
delegates to the Australian Labor Party
who dictated policies to the exclusion of
the party’s elected leadership team.

The Golden Age
of Graham Perkin
Ben Hills
An insightful and vigorous biography, this
account chronicles the life of Australia’s
most influential newspaper editor,

newspaper to which he devoted his
tremendous talents. A portrait of media
power gone too soon, this volume enu-
merates Perkin’s numerous contributions

knitting and baking. From the Fairfax
Media boardroom to the death throes of
the Whitlam government, this account
paints a vivid picture of Perkin’s remark-
able career.

spondent with more than 50 years of

Our Father Who
Wasn’t There
David Carlin
“Carlin’s memoir and detective story has
both a toughness and a deeply resonant
eloquence, a precious and very rare combi-
nation.” —Christos Tsiolkas,
author, The Slap
A masterfully rendered memoir, this
account weaves bits of truth and fiction in
an attempt to tell the life story of Brian
Carlin, the author’s father. In 1960s con-
servative Western Australia, Carlin com-
mits suicide, resulting in his son David’s
yearning to conjure up his father and
uncover the series of events that led to his
death. Piecing together Carlin’s tale from
medical records, faltering memories, and
imagined scenarios—including bouts of
undergraduate bohemia in late-1940s
Perth, a damaging undertow of electric-
shock therapy, insulin comas, and whis-
pered wartime events—this narrative
underscores issues associated with mental
illness and family burdens.
David Carlin teaches media production
and writing at the Royal Melbourne
Institute of Technology. He is the author of
several plays, including Frankenstein’s
Children, and short films, including Out of
Our Minds, and the director of Circus Oz.

this story follows Mary, a young

at the heart of Aboriginal identity.

The Inside Story of the
Treatment Action Campaign
Nathan Geffen
An insider’s view of the state-supported
AIDS denial of South African leaders
Thabo Mbeki and Manto Shabalala-
Msimang, this memoir describes a great
triumph of citizen activism. The account
begins with the efforts of the Treatment
Action Campaign (TAC) to rouse public
alarm over the puzzling intransigence of
the government and the lack of drugs for
people suffering from untreated AIDS.
Finally, this book details how TAC ulti-
mately succeeded on a much larger scale,
as the group exposed corrupt doctors
Matthias Rath and Zeblon Gwala and
publicized the case of patient Andile
Madondile, who had been deceived about
his medicine.
Nathan Geffen has been one of the leaders

since 2000. He has written extensively on

My Israel Question
Third edition
Antony Loewenstein
Leading a forensic discussion of the
Israeli–Palestinian conflict, this survey
examines the prospects of the Middle East
peace process amidst the new geo-political
context. Acknowledging how the election
of Barack Obama brought hope to millions
around the world and generated renewed
diplomatic efforts in the Middle East, this
reference also highlights how the Israel–
Palestine conflict remains mired in brutality
and occupation. Taking into account the
election of a far-right Israeli government,
the indiscriminate war on Gaza, and the
illegal expansion of West Bank colonies,
this examination depicts how this combina-
tion suggests a bleak future for both Israelis
and Palestinians while demonstrating how
the public debate about the issue in the
U.S., UK, Europe, and Australia is suggest-
ing alternative ways of tackling the crisis.
Mapping the ways in which this conflict is
ferociously discussed, this investigation also
outlines where the hope lies for resolution
to the brutal impasse.

The River
A Journey Through the Murray-Darling Basin
Chris Hammer
Conducting a journey through Australia’s heartland, this narra-
tive follows the rivers of the Murray-Darling Basin, recounting
the author’s experiences, impressions, and, above all, stories of
the people he encountered along the way. Punctuated with laugh-
ter, sadness, and reflection, this journey looks past the daily news
reports to reveal the true impact the drying rivers have on the
people who live along their shores and on the country as a
whole. Vivid in its portrayal, this tale leaves a lingering sense of
nostalgia for an Australia that may be fading away forever.

Reforming China: Major Events Reforming China:
(1992–2004) Theoretical Framework
Peng Sen and Chen Li
Chronicling the dramatic events that have taken place since
China opened up to the world three decades ago and adopted a
policy of economic reform, this reference delves into the period
between 1992 and 2004, reviewing the changes in economic
policies that were drafted, brought into law, and initiated.
Vividly capturing the history of reform, this survey ranges from
the beginning of the rural household contract responsibility sys-
tem to the expansion of enterprise autonomy in cities and the
gradual liberalization of prices of important products. The
founding of Deng Xiaoping’s reform theory and the establish-
ment of a socialist market economic system are also reviewed.
Peng Sen is the vice director of the National Development and
Reform Commission. Chen Li is a researcher at the Office of

Examining the foundation of China’s 30-year economic reform,
this analysis outlines its theoretical framework, drawing from an
evaluation of the interplay between theory and implementation.

The Failure of Free-
Market Economics
Martin Feil
Illustrations by John Spooner
Offering a range of practical reforms that
it deems are essential and urgent, this
compilation argues against Australia’s
enthusiastic adoption of free-market eco-
nomics. A unique perspective from a high-
ly qualified expert, this volume explains
how the triumph of a fundamentally
flawed economic orthodoxy has weakened
the economy and now threatens the coun-
try’s future. Examining the economic theo-
ries that have shaped Australia over the
past 30 years, this account demonstrates
the strategic strength of combining the
bureaucracy and the media and proposes
new tactics for prosperity and opportunity
in times to come.
Martin Feil is an economist specializing in
customs, logistics, industry policy, and
international trade related matters. He is a
former national director of transfer pric-
ing and customs at Ernst and Young and a

“A stunning book, a novel that addresses
our world and our time with an acute and
ferocious acumen.” —Christos Tsiolkas,
Commonwealth Writers’
prize–winner, The Slap
A novel about connections in a changing
world of friends, lovers, family, illness,
and death, this unique narrative tells the
story of Marie King—a 59-year-old divor-
cée from Sydney’s affluent north shore.
Having devoted her rather conventional
life to looking after her husband and three
children, Marie is experiencing an identity
crisis. Forced to sell the family home now
that her children have moved out, Marie
expresses herself by getting a tattoo and,
consequently, forges a friendship with tat-
too artist Rhys. As Rhys introduces Marie
to an alternative side of Sydney, friction
erupts between Marie’s social spheres—
the affluent middle class and the tattoo
subculture. A multi-layered examination
of how we live now, this account positions
one family as a microcosm for the modifi-
cations operating in society at large.

—Publisher’s Weekly (starred review)
From the streets of modern Israel to the
barrooms of Brooklyn to a suburban New
England synagogue, the characters in these
10 stories search for love and acceptance in
a world scarred by loss and loneliness. In
“The Madonna of Temple Beth Elohim,”
an Iraq war veteran sees a vision of the
Virgin Mary on the eve of the Jewish high
holidays. In “My Darling Sweetheart
Baby,” a working-class drunk waits on his
stoop for his disability check and the
courage to proclaim his love to a local
prostitute. And in the title story “There Is
No Other,” a rage-filled Jewish boy, tor-
mented by his African lineage, arrives at a
school Purim party dressed as the prophet
Mohammed. Magical, erotic, spiritually
penetrating, and terrifyingly realistic, these
provocative tales continue the storytelling
tradition of Bernard Malamud, Philip
Roth, and Nathan Englander.

Presenting a powerful story of mother-

complexities of grief and disconnection—
and what it takes to become connected
again. Gaelle, a 30-year-old beauty editor
for a fashion magazine, she is ambivalent
about motherhood, and she sleeps
around—not because she does not love
her heart-surgeon husband Jason, but
because the very fact of love is a terrifying
thing. She finds it easier to keep moving,
in the heart and the mind, than to stay
still and own who she is. A multilayered
story of marriage, this novel employs deli-
cate yet powerful prose that builds to a
moving revelation.

Land, Power and People
in Scotland, 1700–1900
T. M. Devine
Documenting the great transformation of
rural Scotland between the early 17th cen-
tury and 1900, this complete collection of
essays by a renowned historian examines
why this extraordinary era—most often
associated with failure, famine, and clear-
ance in Gaeldom—is remembered as one
of improvement in the Lowlands.
Highlighting how the social and economic
benefits of revolution prompted increase
in production of food and raw materials—
which in turn sustained the remarkable
growth of towns and cities over this peri-
od—in folk memory of Scotland, the
social and cultural costs loomed far larger,
with loss of land for many thousands of
families and the rise of individualism at
the expense of neighborhood. Addressing
why both parts of Scotland responded so
differently to the revolutionary changes
during this period, this fascinating account
is a thoughtful insight to an issue at the
very heart of the nation’s past.

“Builds a scholarly picture of Aboriginal

—Michael Lund, Courier Mail
Revealing the dramatic story of the colli-

sheds light on the creation of contempo-

of the country’s first people, this reference

Seven of Australia’s leading historians out-
line the true stories of individuals caught
in an epic drama of friendship, revenge,
loss, and victory in the continent’s most
transformative period. Beginning in 1788
in Warrane—now known as Sydney—with
the friendship between an Englishman,
Governor Phillip, and the kidnapped war-
rior Bennelong, this record ends in 1993
with Koiki Mabo’s legal challenge to the
foundation of Australia.

Concentrating on parts of the exile history
of the African National Congress (ANC)
and the South West Africa People’s
Organization (SWAPO) that both organi-
zations would prefer to forget, these first-
hand accounts describe the human rights
abuses in Quatro prison camp that led to
the mutiny in Umkhonto weSizwe (MK)
in Angola in 1984. The articles cover the
SWAPO “spy drama” of the 1970s and
1980s; a death with possible ties to Jacob
Zuma; and the responses of both the ANC
and SWAPO to episodes of intolerance,
repression, and excess.
Paul Trewhela is a long-time South
African activist who worked in under-
ground journalism with Ruth First and
edited the underground journal MK,
Freedom Fighter during the Rivonia Trial.
He was a political prisoner in Pretoria and
the Johannesburg Fort for being a member
of the Communist Party from 1964 to
1967. Since becoming an exile in England,
he has been the coeditor of Searchlight
South Africa and publishes on South
African politics.

The Life and Times
of Guillaume
Dupuytren,
1777–1835
Paul Wylock
Though Guillaume Dupuytren is famous
in medical books as a pioneer of plastic
surgery, this intriguing biography is the
first to describe his private life and career
against the cultural and political land-
scape of Napoleonic France. As this work
details, as the head surgeon of the Hôtel-
Dieu hospital, the largest hospital in
France, Dupuytren treated not only a large
and highly varied number of surgical
patients, but also the victims of riots,
insurrections, revolutions, and the cholera
epidemic of 1832. Following his rise to
prominence, this biographical account
shows how Dupuytren then become
became the surgeon of King Louis XVIII
and a friend to powerful figures such as
Baron James de Rothschild and Baron
Alexander von Humboldt.
Paul Wylock is the president of the Royal
Belgian Society of Plastic Surgery.

With new archeological and historical evi-
dence, this remarkable record examines
the history of Hertfordshire from late pre-

tionship between early territorial organi-
zation and natural topography. Proving
that Hertfordshire has a long and complex
history and a rich archaeological heritage,
this account emphasizes that develop-
ments in the remote past—especially from
the Roman period through the time of the
Norman Conquest—continue to shape its
character and appearance.

Pushing His Luck
Report of the Expedition and
Death of Henry Whitcombe,
by Jakob Lauper
Hilary Low
By pulling together earlier accounts and
adding important new research, this histo-
ry solves some mysteries about what hap-
pened to Henry Whitcombe, a young civil
engineer who, in 1863, led an expedition
to find a route across the Southern Alps in
New Zealand. Swiss gold miner Jakob
Lauper was hired to accompany
Whitcombe and scout for gold, but the
journey turned to tragedy when
Whitcombe drowned while attempting to
cross the flooded Taramakau River.
Lauper survived and submitted a report in
German about their findings, which was
translated into English. This study is based
on a painstaking new translation of
Lauper’s report and points to many errors
and omissions in the first translation, as
well as a significant geographical mistake
in the survey itself.
Hilary Low is an academic librarian and a
freelance adviser and project manager for
government agencies.

The Tin Ring
Zdenka Fantlova
“Occupies an outstanding place among
the memoirs of Jews who were fighting for
their naked lives.”
—Petr Kucera, Prague Zeitung
A moving tale of courage, love, tenacity,
and hope, this remarkable memoir docu-
ments one woman’s experience during the
Holocaust. Enamored with a man named
Arno, Zdenka Fantlová, a young Czech-
Jewish woman, is separated from her soul-
mate due to the German invasion. During
a brief reunion, Arno proposes to 19-year-
old Zdenka with a ring made from tin.
Following Zdenka from Terezin through
Auschwitz and Kurzbach to Bergen–
Belsen, this heartbreaking account dwells
less on the horrors of extermination camps
and more on the compassion of the friends
and family who shared in her ordeal.
Zdenka Fantlova is an actress and a sur-
vivor of the Bergen-Belsen Nazi concen-
tration camp.

The Truth About
St Kilda
Donald Gillies
Edited by John Randall
Providing a unique record of St Kilda—a
remote chain of islands near Scotland that
was home to an isolated community—this
fascinating documentation provides a
first-hand account their existence in the
early 1900’s before all remaining residents
were forcibly evacuated in 1930.
Examining the resident’s lifestyle, includ-
ing their diet, economy, and social struc-
ture, this intimate account reveals how the
their practice of a puritanical form of reli-
gion was commonly perceived by out-
siders as being austere and draconian, but
is clearly reflected upon as being a source
of spiritual stamina for the residents.
Faithfully based on seven handwritten
notebooks containing reminiscences of
Gillie’s childhood on the island of Hirta,
this part-memoir, part historical artifact is
a lasting tribute to the adaptability and
courage of a small, Gaelic-speaking socie-
ty that endured through two millennia on
a remote cluster of islands, until their way
of life could not longer be sustained.

former inhabitant of St Kilda. John

Ireland’s Forgotten
Revolutionary
Charlie McGuire
Providing a clear overview of Irish radi-
calism, this biographical account sheds
light on the life and times of Sean
McLoughlin, who became Commandant-
General of the army of the Irish Republic
at the young age of 21. The subject’s his-
tory is chronicled, including his survival
of the executions by the British Army,
how he became an active trade union
leader, and his joining with the
Communist Party. This reference also
illustrates the reactionary times
McLoughlin lived in, showing how little
support there was for one who combined
the visions of a social and national revo-
lution. Rescuing the key players in the
Irish revolutionary movement from
obscurity, this discussion reveals new and
critical insights on the history of the
republican and labor movements, the
communist left in Ireland and Great
Britain, and the role of Irish trade union
leader and socialist activist James Larkin.
Charlie McGuire is a secondary school

diagnosis, treatment planning, and follow-
up for many medical conditions, and this
reference on dental and facial procedures
describes a clever digital combination of
two successive images that may provide
much more information than the naked
eye can obtain from both images separate-
ly. Using mutual information (MI) align-
ment/registration criteria, the discussion
covers a wide variety of clinical applica-
tions for which this technology is helpful.

Jan IngenHousz, the Discovery
of Photosynthesis & Science
in the Light of Ecology
Geerdt Magiels
An unexpectedly fresh look at the world
of the Enlightenment and the science of
the 18th century, this fascinating book
introduces Jan IngenHousz, the little-
known discoverer of photosynthesis.
Written for a general audience, the story
provides a view into everyday life in the
decades before and after the French revo-
lution—even as it pursues the mysteries
surrounding this important scientist’s life
and work. The result is a multidimension-
al approach to science that includes histo-
ry, philosophy, scientific instruments, the
growth of chemistry, and the modern field
of ecology.
Geerdt Magiels is a biologist, a philosopher
of science, and the author of The Art of
Looking, Chemistry in between Yesterday

Living Language
Exploring Kiwitalk

A compilation of 100 columns on lan-

fascinating reflection on the oddities of
New Zealand speech, and the discussion
pits English language purists against those
who fully embrace both the Kiwi accent
and the picturesque local vocabulary.

Soweto
Photographs by Jodie Bieber
Introduction by Niq Mhlongo
A celebration of modern life in Soweto,
these stunning and stirring photographs
show the importance of this township
within the collective consciousness of
South Africa. Going beyond Soweto’s his-
toric struggles with apartheid, these
images instead reveal the traditional
importance of art, dance, and fashion in
the community’s daily life—and to show-
case a new cosmopolitan energy as the
people reinvent themselves and their
urban space.

Dear Sweet Harry
Lynn Jenner
A collage of interlinked stories and items,
this unique collection of poetry ties the
author’s own family history with that of
famous escapologist Harry Houdini and
spy Mata Hari. Set during World War I,
this volume delves into seemingly unrelat-
ed topics, such as the Jewish émigré expe-
rience, amateur radio, a recipe for cough
mixture, and writer Katherine Mansfield,
and captures the period flavor of those
more innocent times. Thematically inter-
ested in courageous attempts and escapes,
this offbeat, yet charming compilation is
an innovative addition to New Zealand

“If you’re already a Geoff Cochrane fan,
his latest work will not be disappointing.
Cochrane’s relaxed precision, stunning
vocabulary, and formidable concision are

New Zealand poet, on 84-484
A bracing distillation of this poet’s distinc-
tive talent, these verses address everyday
topics such as alcoholism, ill health, and
growing old and avoid traditional poetic
forms. Often the poems are tiny frag-
ments—embellished with asterisks, dashes,
and dotted lines—that describe a brief
encounter, as in “On the Bus” and “Some
Last Words.”
Geoff Cochrane is a poet and a fiction
writer. His poems have appeared in many

Global Capitalism
in Crisis
Karl Marx & the Decay
of the Profit System
Murray E. G. Smith
Providing a Marxian analysis of the ori-
gins, implications, and scope of the cur-
rent economic downturn, this critique of
global capitalism argues that the ongoing
crisis is not merely a result of overproduc-
tion and problems with credit and finance,
but rather a deep-seated systemic failure
of capitalism itself. The discussion clearly
roots the present economic slump in the
history of capitalism and contends that, in
order to find a more permanent solution,
the crisis needs to be understood struc-
turally, as the result of a failed theory,
rather than as an aberration.

Quebec
The Past, the Present

Jacques Parizeau
Translated by Robin Philpot
“On all issues, Jacques Parizeau has inter-
esting things to say. . . . There are too
many mediocre politicians for us not to
welcome the idea that a politician is also a
thinker.” —La Presse (Montreal)
Drawing on his rich experience in public
service and teaching, Jacques Parizeau,
former premier of Quebec, explains in
these pages how the idea of an independ-
ent Quebec first took root and evolved.
This is the first book of Parizeau’s politi-
cal writing to be translated into English,
and it provides lively commentary on the
Quiet Revolution in the 1960s, on the the
author’s career as finance minister under
Premier René Lévesque, and on his own
administration in the mid-1990s. Parizeau
also examines Quebec’s current economic,
political, social and cultural situation and
reviews options for future development.
Jacques Parizeau was premier of Quebec
from 1994 to 1996 and led the YES
Committee during the 1995 Quebec refer-
endum. Robin Philpot is the translator
and coauthor of A People’s History of
Quebec. They both live in Montreal.

Making a New World
Brendan Gleeson
Hopeful and provocative, this account
considers the principle social and ecologi-
cal threats facing Australia and outlines
the ways in which these crises need to be
confronted and addressed. Taking a radi-
cal approach to climate change preven-
tion, this bold manifesto claims that
Australia’s current focus on over-con-
sumption and “greener lifestyles” are inef-
fective. Rather, this opinionated record
argues that society must instead make
more dramatic changes and stop over-pro-
duction. Thought-provoking and dynamic,
this exploration is a must-read for people
interested in climate change.

Money and Politics
The Corrosive Effect of Money
on Politics in Australia
Joo-Cheong Tham
Arguing that money plays a controversial
role in Australian politics, this volume dis-
sects how political parties raise and spend
money. Written by a leading expert in the
field, this account examines a number of
topics, including claims of secret contribu-
tions and corruption, criticism of public
funding for political parties, and allega-
tions that corporations and trade unions
have undue influence over parties for
which they provided funds. In addition,
this comprehensive record raises crucial
questions about whether the current regu-
lation meets democratic standards.
Joo-Cheong Tham is a senior lecturer in
the law faculty at the University of
Melbourne. He has contributed a number
of academic articles to the Age.

Public Service,

The Political Economy of
Public/Private Partnerships
in Canada
John Loxley and Salim Loxley
An analysis of the claim that private-pub-
lic partnerships (called PPPs or P3s)
reduce the building and operating costs of
public projects and services, this study
examines a large number of P3 case stud-
ies—from schools, bridges, and water
treatment plants to social services and
hospital food services—and concludes the
opposite: most P3s are more costly to
build and finance, provide poorer services,
and are less accessible than if they had
been built and operated by public ser-
vants. The book provides a clear explana-
tion of what P3s are, the misleading
accounting procedures used by govern-
ments to make them appear more palat-
able, and how many essential services are
less accountable to citizens when private
corporations become involved.

the strained relationship between Quebec
and Canada. It includes material by
Margaret Atwood, Tommy Douglas, Don
Jamieson, Eric Kierans, Peter C. Newman,
Brian Moore, and Desmond Morton.

RELIGION & THEOLOGY
Behind the
Exclusive Brethren
Michael Bachelard
“Shocking and compelling; an eye-opening
account of power and cruelty in a tiny
Christian sect that enjoys a privileged
existence in Australia.”
—David Marr, Sydney Morning Herald
Investigating the Exclusive Brethren—an
obscure religious sect that burst onto the
Australian political stage in 2004—this
record details the group’s 19th-century
origins in the United Kingdom, their frac-
tious history, their extraordinary use of
scripture to control members and dissi-
dents, and their lucrative business and
financial arrangements. Written from the
perspective of an investigative reporter,
this comprehensive history explores why
the Exclusive Brethren contributed finan-
cially to election advertising in support of
conservative political parties and how
their actions resulted in damaged lives and
broken families. This fascinating account
demonstrates how a small, fringe group
infiltrated politics and even befriended
then Prime Minister John Howard.

nalist for the Sunday Age and the author

and the Fiber Arts
Mark Siegeltuch
Based on comprehensive research of tex-
tile arts and traditional symbolism, this
compendium explores how societies, in
the absence of writing, imparted wisdom
to the next generation through the use of
objects and practices of daily life, namely
fiber arts—knotting, weaving, spinning,
basketry, among others. Arguing that sym-
bolism has been overshadowed by ration-
alism despite its continued existence in
remote parts of the world, this unique
record strives to examine these traditions
and reunite them with their ancient mean-
ings. This invaluable account will appeal

Deadly Fever
Racism, Disease
and a Media Panic
Charles T. Adeyanju
• Part of the Fernwood Basics series
Focusing on a 2001 Canadian news
story that turned into a frantic rumor
mill, this study analyses how media
reporting on health issues often alarms
the public, particularly when the race
or immigration status of the sufferers is
part of the coverage. In this case, a woman from the Congo was
admitted to a hospital in Hamilton, Ontario, with a serious ill-
ness of unknown origin. Even though it was quickly determined
that she did not carry the deadly Ebola virus, conjectures still
spread through the Canadian media. Looking back at the event,
this investigation conducts a content analysis of four major
Canadian newspapers that carried the Hamilton story and con-
cludes that there was never any danger to the public.

The Politics of
Restorative Justice
A Critical Introduction
Andrew Woolford
Using detailed case studies from South
Africa and aboriginal communities in
Canada, this study lays out the philo-
sophical and legal background of the
restorative justice movement and shows
how merely using it as another form of
punishment violates its fundamental
principles. Exploring how restorative justice involves political
actors as well as structural forces, the discussion covers its use in
prisons, truth and reconciliation commissions, with troubled
youth, and—in ideal circumstances—entire communities.

Particles for
Bio-Applications
Materials and Bio-Interfaces
Edited by Tito Trindade
and Ana L. Daniel da Silva
Providing a concise examination of the syn-
thesis and properties of nanocomposite
particles in regards to diverse bio-applica-
tions, this informative guide explores the
chemical design of nanocomposite parti-
cles—their properties as well as those of
their constituent materials—and the tailor-
ing of bio-interfaces that may be relevant
for the fields of clinical diagnosis and drug-
delivery procedures. Including examples of
how particles composed of a polymer
matrix can contain dispersed inorganic
nanophases and other bio-functionalized
nanomaterials as well as commentary on
their practical use, this in-depth analysis is
an integral reference for the study of nan-
otechnology.
Tito Trindade is a member and Ana L.
Daniel da Silva is an auxiliary researcher
at the Centre for Research in Ceramics
and Composite Materials–CICECO at the
University of Aveiro in Portugal.
