Five boys, aged 8 to 12, had recorded their own rap lines to a simple didgeridoo beat. Music lovers across Australia were rapt. Known as the Wilcannia Mob when the song hit high rotation, the media came looking for the new boy band from far western NSW. Till then theyd been just a bunch of passionate kids having fun at a holiday workshop. Down River is an illustrated version of the journey taken by those five young boys, their families and their community. It traces their origins from a makeshift recording studio in a town long forgotten, to centre-stage in front of 20,000 fans at the Homebake Music Festival in December 2002. In doing so it gives us privileged insights into Barkandji country and some of the people living there.

In this period of intense diplomatic and military activity in a potentially volatile region, Australia developed its engagement with Southeast Asia and its concept of forward defence. While the Vietnam War loomed ever larger over the region, the RAN played its part in creating the conditions for the peace and prosperity Malaysia and Singapore now enjoy. Tiger Territory tells of the naval men who delivered this underappreciated achievement, and recounts their previously unpublished experiences.

The book investigates how the courts have made use of historians as expert witnesses, and how the colonial past has been framed and understood by the courts. This is an important historical record of a unique period of litigation in Indigenous affairs in Australia.

He fought in the skies of New Guinea and was killed at the age of 26 in a crash 30 kilometres north-west of Rottnest Island. Learmonth Airport was named in his honour. In this extensively researched biography of Learmonth, Charles Page fills a significant gap in Australian World War II history. It is, Page writes, a story that needed to be told. The deeds of Charles Learmonth and his band of brothers deserve more than a shoebox full of aerogrammes held together with rubber bands.

The Great Depression was at its zenith, however, and there was no funding for major projects. In consultation with leaders of the local musical community, a great eisteddfod was planned as a ploy to enhance Sydney's reputation as a centre for music. The public welcomed the idea and, with the press rallying in support, the City of Sydney Eisteddfod opened in 1933. The initial competition was such an outstanding success, it became an annual event. When the Pacific War forced it to recess in 1941, it had uncovered a wealth of astonishing talent, and fired what the critics described as the start of a cultural renaissance. Published to coincide with its 75th birthday, The Sydney Eisteddfod Story takes us back to the beginnings of this most successful ploy.

Once Sydney dominated a modest national scene; today, with tertiary jazz courses generating a stream of talent, the impact is nowhere more visible than in Melbourne. Our jazz musicians tour overseas; their recordings are reviewed in the international journals. However, Australian jazz culture is divided and has not yet managed to counteract its marginalisation by the media. Across the spectrum of Australian music, jazz is a permanent underground, somewhere between high and low culture. Peter Rechnievski defines the causes and makes a way through to the light.

They travelled the length and breadth of Scotland, and much of England too, stopping here and there until moved on by the local authorities, or driven by their own instinctive need to travel. By campfires, under the unchanging stars, they brewed up tea, telling stories and singing songs late into the night. Jessies Journey describes what it was like to be one of the last of the traditional travelling folk. It is not an idyllic tale, but despite the threat of bigoted abuse and disrupted schooling, humour and laughter run throughout a childhood teeming with unforgettable characters and incidents.

Calligraphy, the art of beautiful writing, became one of the main methods of artistic expression from the seventh century to the present in almost all regions from the far Maghrib, or Islamic West, to India and beyond. Arabic script was adopted for other languages from Persian and Turkish to Kanembu and Malay. Sheila Blairs groundbreaking book explains this art form to modern readers and shows them how to identify, understand and appreciate its varied styles and modes. The book is designed to offer a standardised terminology for identifying and describing various styles of Islamic calligraphy, and to help Westerners appreciate why calligraphy has long been so important in Islamic civilization.

A Sand County Almanac has sold millions of copies and Leopold's writings are venerated for their perceptions about land and how people might live in concert with the whole community of life. But who is the man behind the words? How did he arrive at his profound and poetic insights, inspiring generations of environmentalists? Building on past scholarship and a fresh study of Leopold's unpublished archival materials, Julianne Lutz Newton retraces the intellectual journey generated by such passion and intelligence.

Bali needs the outside world (tourists, capital, cheap labour) but the islands people feel threatened by outside forces (powerful investors, Western decadence, Islam). Henk Schulte Nordholt characterises it as an open fortress, accepting external influences while struggling to protect itself from them. In this book he investigates how Indonesias reform has affected caste relationships and is reshaping power relations at the provincial, district and village level. While his work highlights the role of criminal gangs and violent conflicts at the local level, he also considers the promise offered by local democracy.
