In 2003, the Coronial Inquiry into Puongtong Simaplees 2001 death at the Villawood Detention Centre put the issue of trafficking for prostitution in Australia on the national agenda for the first time. Trafficked contains first-person accounts of women like Puongtang, stories that inspired womens groups to make sure trafficked women could no longer be ignored.

The Scots in Australia is a long overdue and comprehensive history of Scottish immigrants including convicts and free settlers and their descendants in Australia from 1788 to the present. Combining anecdote, biography and straightforward history, author Malcolm Prentis reevaluates commonly held assumptions and myths from both ends of the migration process. Malcolm Prentis shows that the Scots have had an influence in Australia disproportionate to their numbers. The Scots in Australia powerfully demonstrates the countless ways in which the Scots and their descendants have shaped and been shaped by Australia.

The surgeon conducting the autopsy claimed they were those of a woman. Why, then, was the victim later identified as Little Jock, a former convict? And why was the murder so brutal, so gruesome? More than a hundred years later, Willa Samson embarks on a long and lonely search to find out. The Sinkings is a story within a story, the tragic historical account of Little Jocks life embedded within a contemporary narrative of a mothers guilt and grief. Beautifully crafted, the novel deals with the dilemma confronting parents of an intersexed child and the issue of gender. While a work of fiction, the discovery of Little Jocks remains and the controversy surrounding their identification are actual events.

It is a story that spans Europe, from the intrigues and wiles of Constantinople to the battlefields of the future France, from North Africa to the Balkans. Ross Laidlaw brings to this extraordinary story the vivid style and attention to detail and accuracy which made Attila such a success. It is an epic story told in an epic way and at its end we understand why this man was simply known to his contemporaries as the Great.

While Gould was in Australia to paint the bird population he also discovered our extraordinary fauna, which he described as being as strange as if I had been transported to another planet. He was so impressed that he produced the three-volume set, The Mammals of Australia (1863), from which these images of the unique creatures that inhabit our shores are taken. With their liquid eyes, tactile fur and gentle demeanour, the paintings in Goulds book have an enduring charm.

Religious books, with their devotional text, illuminated illustrations and decorative initial letters and borders, provided ordinary people with a comforting daily cycle of prayers, hymns and inspirational stories. They were designed to help them to navigate the stony road from birth to death and to live a good Christian life. Whether specially commissioned or mass-produced, such books were written on vellum (fine calfskin) and were fashionable accessories for the pious well-to-do. But, more than that, they were cherished daily companions, as the well-thumbed pages of the Book of Hours like this one from the Clifford Collection of the National Library of Australia shows.

It is believed that maps were made as long ago as the Neolithic period but the oldest known map is the Nippur clay tablet, which depicts a town plan of Babylon in 1500 BC. Maps detail the items, places, features, concepts and events that are important to the mapmaker and to those who commissioned the map. Maps are thus cultural artefacts which reflect the society in which they were produced and highlight the political, religious and scientific thinking of the time.

Chris Healy argues that in the ways we remember our history, Aborigines keep disappearing. They are present and central at certain moments but then fade from memory. Aboriginal issues can be on the front page for weeks prompting white Australians to ask questions like why werent we told? and then recede again. The book examines ways in which we can stop this dishonest and destructive cycle.

The definitive ocker comedy, Alvin Purple survived a critical mauling and went on to become the most commercially successful Australian film of the 1970s. Catharine Lumby takes a fresh look at the film, the social and political era in which it was made and the forces that fuelled its success. She revisits claims that the movie is little more than an exercise in sexploitation and argues that the film is far more complex than its detractors have allowed.

Drawing on the rich collections of the National Library of Australia, Bridging the Distance explores how, as a nation, we have responded to our country, its vast physical distances, its geography and its people.

Organised into three sections, it begins with a group of essays that reflect on key governance issues such as privatisation, the management of the Howard Governments Senate majority, and issues relating to accountability and ethics. The second section examines policy issues that dominated the fourth term, such as management of the economy, rural politics (particularly wheat and drought), industrial relations, indigenous policy and foreign affairs. The third section provides an overall assessment of Howards leadership style during this period and finally concludes that Howards faltering political skills on key issues may have ultimately secured his defeat.

A diverse, vital and ever-growing sector in Australia, the NFP sector provides the organisational framework through which many of the most disadvantaged in the community receive access to services and support. However, pressures such as a changing composition, an erosion of financial sustainability, the need to professionalise, and demographic trends affecting patterns of volunteering have put pressure on the NFP sector to innovate and grow in new directions. Strategic Issues in the Not-for-Profit Sector considers the local and global drivers of change, as well as the industry, policy and community imperatives impacting upon NFP sustainability, providing a unique insight into not only the strategic issues, but also strategic responses emerging within the sector.

Central to the dispute is the alleged silence of the Pope during the years of the Holocaust. By examining the often little studied pre-papal life of Eugenio Pacelli much can be found to understand the policies, actions and statements of Pius XII during the war. The opening of the Vatican German archives up to 1939 helped add detail and nuance to the authors writing. His methodology depends upon contextual interpretation of documents and material from many sources over the mans entire professional religious life up to 1943. This led the author to the conclusion that Pius XII did, in fact, act in a consistent manner towards the persecuted Jews of Europe, and had done so since the advent of National Socialism in the 1920s. Pacellis behaviour during the war confirms his essential consistency, but also reveals the tragic flaw that relegated the Jews to be lesser victims. His failure points to the moral crisis within many parts of the fractured Christian Commonwealth, as well as the personal culpability of Pacelli, the man and pope.

His mother was a beautiful woman who spoke only Gaelic and his father was a wit, mimic and singer, who also doubled as postman and tailor. Tuberculosis framed Georges early life and kept him in a kind of limbo. He discovered alcohol which gave him insights into the workings of the mind. While attending the University of Edinburgh he came into contact with Goodsir Smith, MacDiarmid and Norman MacCaig and Stella Cartwright with whom perhaps all of them were in love. By the time of his death in 1996 he was recognised as one of the great writers of his time and country.

Attila, leader of the Huns, has become corrupted by power, while Aetius, last of the great Roman generals, has been ennobled by it. Ross Laidlaws masterful portrayal of these two figures is based on his extensive knowledge of the period and is written in a narrative style that vividly evokes the brutality, decadence and desperation of the last desperate struggles of the Roman Empire.

In its Ottoman heyday, Sarajevo was synonymous with learning, its skyline punctuated by the minarets and domes of mosques and madrasas. Under Tito, it was a haven of multiculturalism where Yugoslavia lived and worked together, irrespective of their ethnic or religious affiliations. The Siege of Sarajevo (1992-5) and its aftermath receive particular attention in Donias compelling account, the most detailed to appear in English to date. Hurst 01 C.

By the late nineteenth century it had become the western capital of the sprawling Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, but the twentieth century saw it degraded to a hydrocephalus cut off from its former economic hinterland. After the inglorious Nazi interlude, Vienna escaped from four-power-occupation in 1955 and began the long climb back to the prosperous and cultivated city of 1.7 million inhabitants that it is today.

Today, the martial art is likely the most popular on the planet, an Olympic sport practised by an estimated 50-million students and known for its spectacular kicks. Few people, however, know about the arts secret and violent past; there are good reasons for screams in the martial arts. This nonfiction novel takes readers into the lurid dynasties of two men and their disciples: Choi Hong-Hi, who began the martial art, and his nemesis, Kim Un-Yong, who developed the Olympic style and became one of the most powerful, controversial men in sports.

Bush arguably has done so in exceptional ways: It has denied the writ of habeas corpus to individuals deemed to be enemy combatants; It has suspended the Geneva Convention and allowed or encouraged the use of harsh interrogation methods amounting to torture; It has ordered the surveillance of Americans without obtaining warrants as required by law; It has issued signing statements implying that the president does not have the duty to faithfully execute hundreds of provisions of laws he has signed. Power Play analyses the Bush presidencys efforts to expand executive power in these four domains and puts them into constitutional and historical perspective.

Canada's world was one where 'sidewalk' boys learned the codes of the block and were ranked through the rituals of fist, stick, and knife. Then the streets changed, and the stakes got even higher. In this candid and riveting memoir, Canada relives a childhood in which violence stalked every street corner. 'If you wonder how a fourteen-year-old can shoot another child his own age in the head and then go home to dinner,' Canada writes, 'you need to know you don't get there in a day, or week, or month. It takes years of preparation to be willing to commit murder, to be willing to kill or die for a corner, a color, or a leather jacket.'
