McCall Smith handles the characters with his customary charm and deftness - the stalwart Tory chartered surveyor, the pushy mother, and, most importantly in this novel, the beleaguered Italian-speaking prodigy, Bertie. This is classic McCall Smith - clever, witty and entertaining - and beautifully illustrated. A chance encounter with Armistead Maupin in San Francisco inspired Alexander McCall Smith to write this series of novels based around the fictional No. 44 Scotland Street in Edinburgh's New Town.

With insight, passion and a great sense of urgency Chris Bonnor and Jane Caro show how government, anxious parents, the church and ideology are combining to undermine public schools. The Stupid Country is not a one-sided defence of public education. But it challenges us to consider whether we really want to continue stumbling blindly down our current path, risking the health of our public schools and everything they have created our prosperity, unity, stability even, perhaps, our democracy. ><br> For more information visit the author's website THE STUPID COUNTRY New South 01 New South 04 20070701 01 234 mm 02 153 mm 08 346 gr UNIREPS 02 21 02 29.95 UNIREPS 05 AU 04 01 20070701 0868409723 03 02 0868409723 03 9780868409726 15 9780868409726 BC http://www.unireps.com.au/isbn/0868409723.htm 1 A01 Griffiths, Tom 320 BTH 01 02 In the summer of 200203, acclaimed writer and historian Tom Griffiths voyaged the Southern Ocean to Antarctica.
