Can incentives and rewards help to get them to do things like sleep through the night, eat healthy meals, clean up their rooms, do their homework? Can economics help the smart, caring, welladjusted, high-achieving little person that we know is in there to emerge? From the birthing class to the birthday party and the parent-teacher interview, Joshua Gans tells stories about everyday issues and conundrums that will be familiar to all parents. His fresh insights and highly original questions will have parents everywhere nodding in agreement and chuckling to themselves. Parentonomics shows that bringing together the hard questions of economics with the chaos, mess and love that children inspire is a wonderful combination.

It is the ultimate nomad, whose sailplane wings - the longest of any living bird - harness the shrieking winds of the southern ocean as it glides around the globe. This master of wind and wave is also the subject of intense scientific scrutiny and fascinating revelations. But just as we are discovering the magic of these glorious birds, they are becoming increasingly threatened; today, over three-quarters of all albatross species are edging towards extinction. This book is a celebration of these amazing creatures and a call to ensure their future survival. It features photographs by Tui De Roy, the latest writing and research by leading international experts and a factual natural history section with detailed information on each albatross species.

As a teenager, Zhang worked in a factory producing missiles designed to reach North America, queuing every month to give evidence to the period police that she wasnt pregnant. In the oppressive routine of guarded compound and political meetings, Zhangs disillusionment with The Glorious Cause drove her to study English, which strengthened her intellectual independence from bright, western style clothes to organizing the largest demonstration by Nanjing workers in support of Tiananmen Square Protest in 1989.

Shocked by what they hear, they convince the Islamic Council of Victoria to lodge a complaint against Catch the Fire Ministries, under a controversial new hate speech law. A case expected to be over in three days turns into an unholy war of words lasting five long years freedom of speech versus freedom from vilification is under the spotlight. Award-winning author Hanifa Deen follows this case from beginning to end, witnessing the religious impulse at its best and worst. Her very human account focuses on the personalities and motives of the two religious tribes Muslims and born again Christians. Real people on both sides of the courtroom express their pain and their innocence at a hearing that turns into a nightmare.

But what do people do for twenty or thirty years without the structures and restrictions of work? Does it mean someone is no longer important if they are not an active member of the workforce? Or is retirement a time for reinvention and refocussing? When Im 64 explores the experience of retirement from the point of view of those not yet retired, those newly retired, and those who are further down the track. Donna Gibbs conversations, insights and reflections on her own experiences offer a window into the new retirement with all its contradictions and complexities. With warmth, humour and insight she shows the upsides and downsides, the challenges to your sense of identity and issues for couples and singles. It is an inspiring guide to the ways people deal with this new phase of their lives.

Descended from Chinese garden hybrids introduced into Europe in the early nineteenth century, Tea roses have long been considered in a class of their own for their exquisite colours, distinctive fragrance, fine foliage and almost constant flushes of flowers in warmer climates. They were looked upon as almost perfect roses, but the passage of time and the vagaries of fashion saw them lose favour and all but disappear. The authors have covered the history of Tea roses, their rise and fall in popularity and the nomenclature problems that arose during their revival when interest in old roses was rekindled in the later twentieth century. Readers will find many questions answered and some old mysteries unravelled. Full details are given of Tea roses currently sold in Australia, with the authors bringing together their observations and knowledge of the Teas they grow the descriptions are first-hand and not just a repetition of what has been said before. Lavishly illustrated with colour photographs and historical plates, this book invites you to share the beauty and the fascinating story of the Teas but be warned once captivated by these lovely roses there is no going back.

He worked as Government Geologist in Queensland for almost thirty years and was sent on difficult and perilous expeditions to some of the remotest parts of the continent. It was during this time that he made groundbreaking discoveries that would help advance Queenslands mining and agricultural industries and contribute to the economic development of the Colony. Putting Queensland on the Map is the first book to chronicle Robert Logan Jacks extraordinary life and work. Written by his great-granddaughter Felicity Jack, it uses maps, drawings, letters and photographs to offer a fascinating glimpse into Robert Logan Jacks geological expeditions and the social conditions of rural Queensland in the late nineteenth century.

That makes it a selective history: one based on objects - things that have survived. Melbourne: a city of stories reflects on both the place and its people, telling not the big story but the small ones as well. This book, like the exhibition on which it is based, draws the reader into a sense of exploring the citys layers through time. Its emphasis is less on the proud public record than on objects and people with stories to tell and a place in Melbournes history.

His travels took him from Captain Scotts final expedition in Antarctica to every continent on earth, in a life that stretched from the Boer War to the Cold War. Taylors research ranged from microscopic analysis of fossils to the races of man and the geographic basis of global politics. This timely biography is a copiously illustrated account and analysis of Griffith Taylors remarkable life. It explores what drove this long, lean, lanky man to such extremes: geographically, intellectually and politically.

In 2006 more than a million people visited some part of the 73-mile long site, and four years ago it became a World Heritage site and a path was laid out along its whole length. The Wall tells the story of the making of Hadrians Wall, its makers, its effect and its impact on northern Britain. An extravagant folie de grandeur? Effective military barrier? A string of customs posts? Encompassing all of these things and much more, the Wall is a staggering phenomenon. With more than 24 million stones, its mass is greater than all of the Egyptian pyramids, and its scale is almost beyond grasp. 30,000 soldiers and craftsmen worked for 10 years to complete it and when the great sea-wall down the Cumbrian coast was completed, it stretched for around 120 miles. There is evidence that the garrison rendered the surface of the Wall and painted it white. A stunning statement of imperial power throwing a girdle of stone across the waist of Britain.

Taking a fresh look at longstanding issues, Lea examines the culture of bureaucracy, its need to create the look of action, how intelligent inhabitants uphold the apparatus of government even whilst they critique it, and how benevolent efforts to improve health have brought about unexpected co-dependencies and tragic failures. She paints a sympathetic yet discomforting portrait of those who, working on behalf of and for Aboriginal health, fiercely defend the ideas and principles that paradoxically reinstate the primary need for greater levels of government intervention.

Opened in 1887 by the Victorian Government, it was Australias first and largest specialised institution for people with intellectual disability. Over its 121-year history, Kew Cottages often struggled to provide a high level of care for its residents. Persistent overcrowding, inadequate funding, and government and public apathy, resulted in many residents enduring lives of hardship and neglect. Bye-Bye Charlie is a rare glimpse into the world of Kew Cottages. Combining oral testimony from a range of people including residents, families, staff, policy makers, and visitors, as well as documentary evidence, it offers a moving account of the path to institutional living, the complex emotions felt by people associated with the institution, and the facilitys eventual closure. Most importantly, it celebrates the lives of people who have long been silenced or forgotten, turning them into active participants of their own history making.

The universe conspires against Matt and Zara, and Zara is jettisoned into orbit. Sex on drugs has become sordid, but the allure of the threesome is still tempting. The prospect of having children is no longer odious, but mortgages and responsibility remain objects of contempt. It's time for lock down. But who's playing? Shifting perspectives on identity and Tommy Murphy's trademark comic flair combine to create a lively theatre of insight and ingenuity.

Famed for her beauty, Anna, daughter of Lord Seaforth, married Alexander Lindsay, later 1st Earl of Balcarres, at the age of nineteen in 1640. An idyllic life at Balcarres Castle in Fife came to an abrupt end with the Civil War, and when Balcarres raised an army to fight for Charles II and was defeated by Cromwell, the family was forced to flee to Holland. Reduced to great poverty, the angel of the exiled court became a governess to Prince William of Orange, the future William III. Returning to Scotland after the tragic death of her husband, Anna showed immense courage and fortitude in saving the family estates from bankruptcy, and found much-needed solace in her marriage to Archibald, 9th Earl of Argyll. But tranquillity vanished again when Argyll was beheaded for his part in the attempt to overthrow James VII and II in 1685, and Anna herself was imprisoned.

The contributions of a gelatine manufacturer, a Dunedin spinster, and numerous other New Zealand housewives are all revealed in this fascinating contribution to food history. The book shows the evolution of the three pavlova types, that their recipes have never been set in stone, and that creative and innovative cooks have played the most important roles in transforming a fashionable afternoon tea cake into an iconic dessert.

The book covers depictions of fossils, restorations of plants and animals, and ecological restorations in painting, drawing, sculpture, and in display restorations such as dioramas. Although the main subject of the book is scientific illustration, it also delves into 'popular' illustrations such as those found in childrens textbooks, popular introductions to paleontology and geology, museum and other public displays, and film. Both a history of science and a history of representation, this is a fascinating exploration of the interactions between art and science.

This lively collection of eight short stories about Arab teenagers living in Iraq, Tunisia, Egypt, the West Bank, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, and a Palestinian refugee camp engagingly depicts young people's experiences growing up in the Middle East. The characters, drawn from urban and rural settings and from different classes as well as a mix of countries, confront situations involving friends, family, teachers, and society at large. Along with some specifically Middle Eastern issues, such as strife in Iraq, the hardships of life in a Palestinian refugee camp, and honour crimes, the young people deal with more familiar concerns such as loyalty to friends, overcoming personal insecurities, dreams of a future career, and coping with divorcing parents. Coming of age in a complicated world, they meet life with courage, determination, and, not least of all, humour. With accompanying notes that provide contextual information, Santa Claus in Baghdad brings a fresh perspective to youth literature about the Arab world.

Nor has T. rex been ignored by the scientific community, as this new collection amply demonstrates. Scientists explore such questions as why T. rex had such small forelimbs; how the dinosaur moved; what bone pathologies tell us about life in the Cretaceous; and whether T. rex was a predator, a scavenger, or both. There are reports on newly discovered skeletons, on variation and sexual dimorphism, and how the big beasts chewed. The methods used by the contributors to unlock the mysteries of T. rex range from 'old fashioned' stratigraphy to contemporary computer modeling. Together they yield a wealth of new information about one of the dinosaur worlds most famous carnivores. An enclosed CD-ROM presents additional photographic and filmed reconstructions of the mighty beast.

When his colleagues learned that he spoke some Arabic, they made use of him but also began to mistrust him. Delgado's opposition to the war mounted as he saw American arrogance and abuse of unarmed Iraqis run rampant. Concluding that war ran counter to his Buddhist principles, he sought Conscientious Objector status and was honorably discharged. Back home, he began to speak out against the injustices he had seen. The Sutras of Abu Ghraib is Delgado's account of those days in Iraq. In chronicling the struggles of military life and the dehumanising effects of war, he examines the attitudes that make prisoner abuse possible and explores his own developing Buddhist beliefs against a brutal backdrop. It is a tale of the costbut also the urgent necessityof moral courage.
