In this wry, audacious and absorbing consideration of the history of food in this country over the past 150 years, Colin Bannerman spares no dish, no recipe and no chef that captures his attention. Carefully researched, drawing on an array of magazines, newspapers and books held at the National Library, Seed Cake and Honey Prawns: Fashion and Fad in Australian Food is an entertaining and delightfully opinionated book about an essential aspect of Australian culture.

The Great White Queen of the Never-Never Lands reigned supreme over the groups of Aboriginal people who, attracted by the Transcontinental Railway, arrived from the desert country to the north. Bates craved to be seen as a woman of science through her earlier ethnographic work in Western Australia, but her exaggerated claims of wholesale cannibalism amongst the Aborigines, her belief in their inevitable extinction and her dismissive attitude to castes discredited her within the academic community. Only in recent times has the use of her ethnographic data in Native Title claims begun to rehabilitate her scientific reputation. In Daisy Bates: A Life, Western Australian historian Bob Reece tells her extraordinary story through her letters and published writings so that readers can gain some idea of her motivation and beliefs, and picture what kind of person she really was.

Gilbert wrote to his employer John Gould, in London, describing his find as without exception the most beautiful of the whole tribe I have ever seen in Australia. Gould named it the Beautiful Parrakeet. In this highly illustrated book, author Penny Olsen takes us on a journey of discoveryfrom Gilberts first observations of the parrot in 1844 to recent claims of sightings and the intrigue surrounding them. The story of the Beautiful Parrakeet combines elements of the history of exploration and settlement of Australia, human exploitation of the rare and unobtainable, a conservation tale, the endless allure of a lost species, and the facts of this singular birds fate.

Seeking to escape difficulties in his personal life, Mathew left Australia in 1960, never to return. He continued to write until his death in New York in 2003, and his work has rarely received the consideration it deserves. The National Library of Australias collections contain papers relating to Ray Mathews life and career and, in particular, unpublished manuscripts from which Tom Shapcott has selected and introduced for publication nine short stories and three chapters from the unpublished novel, The Making of Andrew. These works, written over 30 years, demonstrate many of Mathews strengths as a writer and illustrate that, though he published little after he left Australia, he continued to exercise his considerable and fluent gift for storytelling.

Williams, arrived in Japan in 1919 to practise the language over his summer holiday, he never imagined his stay would eventually extend over 60 years. He took up a job with a Scottish trading firm in the cosmopolitan port city of Kobe, but his lifelong passion became collecting records documenting the lives of foreign residents. They are now held at the National Library of Australia as a highly sought-after collection. Keiko Tamura constructs a vivid account of the experience of Williams and three other Westerners, presenting a compelling picture of expatriate experiences and life in Japan in the first half of the twentieth century.

In Bali he lives luxuriously, like a lordeven keeping his own gamelan orchestraand becomes an international celebrity artist. He welcomes guests such as Mick Jagger and the Duke and Duchess of Bedford, entertains numerous other visitors who want to buy his paintings and drawings, and socialises freely with friends, including many other artists. He engages in significant building activity and property development while also producing superb illustrated manuscripts and books. And despite increasing ill-health, Friend continues to revel in his life's drama and creativity, remaining an eloquent, often charming and sometimes irascible companion. Including over 60 drawings from his diaries, many of them in colour, this volume confirms Friend's quicksilver creative brilliance and extraordinary insight. He is perhaps Australia's most important twentieth-century diarist.

Many people have grown up with the beguiling rhythms of 'Black Cockatoos', or the jauntiness of 'The Wagtail'. Now, in this new edition, commemorating 25 years since the poems were last published as a single collection, these works appear with six additional poems and a personal introduction by the poet's daughter Meredith McKinney, for whom many of the poems were written. The poems are complemented by full-colour illustrations drawn from the National Library's Pictures Collection, featuring the work of artists such as John Lewin, Lionel Lindsay, Lilian Medland, William T. Cooper and Betty Temple Watts. Birds is a celebration of Judith Wright (19152000) as a writer and passionate environmentalist, and of the centrality of birds in the poet's imagination.

Petite, plucky and always immaculately dressed, for almost 50 years she travelled to the remote parts of Australia, India, Europe, America and New Guinea in pursuit of exotic flowers and wildlife to paint. Over 3000 works testify to her prodigious output. Unabashedly ambitious, throughout her life she used her social connections to promote her work, which was internationally acclaimed and collected by royalty. For all her accolades however, Rowans reputation was contentious, even after her death. It is hoped that The Flower Hunter: Ellis Rowan will help establish her rightful place in Australian art.

Northfields early career coincided with the boom in commercial advertising in Australia, and his skills were called on to promote a diverse range of products, from holidays in Australia to Kiwi boot polish. Richly illustrated with examples of posters and promotions from the golden age of advertising, this book celebrates Australias commercial art heritage through an examination of the work of one of our best commercial artists.

Judith's first surviving letter, written as a girl of 10, is already vibrant with both the pleasure in language and the intense responsiveness to the natural world that formed the core of her being and dictated the directions of her life. The collection of letters presented in With Love and Fury serves to remind us of Judith's deep engagement with life, and of her love of the world (and of friends) and the fine fury that led her to battle so courageously on the world's behalfthose sides of the single passion that shaped both her poetry and her life.

He first made his name as an intrepid and eloquent World War II correspondent, then as the biographer of Montgomery and Churchill. His widely read historical works, fiction and travel writing drew critical and popular acclaim. Books such as African Trilogy, Gallipoli, The Fatal Impact and Darwin and the Beagle were reprinted many times and extensively translated. Yet, in spite of his major contribution to Australian and international history, Moorehead has largely fallen from public view. Ann Moyal's marvellous encapsulation of his life and work is therefore timely. The first of the National Library's new biography series, 'An Australian Life', Moyal brings this passionate writer and his era vividly to life and provides an informed assessment of Moorehead's lasting influence.

J.B. Castieau was the governor of Beechworth Gaol and, later, Melbourne Gaol at the time of Ned Kellys execution. He was also briefly and somewhat disastrously, the Inspector-General of Penal Establishments for Victoria. Well-educated, frequently in debt, impulsively generous, self-doubting and of unsteady habits in his cups, he knew many of the prominent characters of Marvellous Melbourne including the journalist Marcus Clark and the famous and fiery legal figure Sir Redmond Barry.

Tariffs kept the local industry cheap and viable and offered Australian writers national and international careers. Today, Australian pulp fiction is all but forgotten. In this seminal work, the third in the National Librarys popular Collectors Book series, Toni-Johnson-Woods reveals the history, the authors, the genres and the lurid covers of this once-popular literary form.
