A Concise History of Australia Fifth Edition

Stuart Macintyre 9781108728485 Paperback $39.95 AUD / $43.95 NZD Published August 2020 Stuart Macintyre, one of Australia’s most highly regarded historians, revisits A Concise History of Australia to provoke readers to reconsider Australia’s past and its relationship to the present. Integrating new scholarship with the historical record, the fifth edition of A Concise History of Australia brings together the long narrative of Australia’s First Nations’ peoples; the arrival of Europeans and the era of colonies, convicts, gold and free settlers; the foundation of a nation state; and the social, cultural, political and economic developments that created a modern Australia.

As we enter the third decade of the twenty-first century, Macintyre’s Australia remains one of achievements and failures. So too the future possibilities are deeply rooted in the country’s past endeavours. A Concise History of Australia is an invitation to examine this past.

Empire and the Making of Native Title

Sovereignty, Property and Indigenous People

Bain Attwood

9781108478298 Hardback $49.95 AUD / $53.95 NZD Published July 2020 “Empire and the Making of Native Title is a masterful account of the early colonisation of Australia and New Zealand that provides a clear, engaging, and persuasive explanation of why Britain treated the two places so differently.” - Stuart Banner, author of Possessing the Pacific This book provides an answer to the age-old question of why the British government never made a treaty with Aboriginal people in 1788 but made one with Māori in New Zealand in 1840. This highly original account also challenges the popular belief that the adoption of a particular legal doctrine - terra nullius - was the cause of the British government’s denial of indigenous sovereignty and rights to land in Australia context.

It suggests instead that this was the outcome of a complex array of factors that came into play work after James Cook’s claiming of possession in 1770.

“[This book] will help anyone who has ever offended others or been offended by a use of language – which means all of us.” - David Crystal, University of Wales, Bangor I’m not a racist, but… You look good, for your age… She was asking for it… You’re crazy…

That’s so gay… Have you ever wondered why certain language has the power to offend?

It is often difficult to recognize the veiled racism, sexism, ageism (and other –isms) that hide in our everyday discourse. This book sheds light on the derogatory phrases, insults, slurs, stereotypes, tropes and more that make up linguistic discrimination.

Each chapter addresses a different area of prejudice: race and ethnicity; gender identity; sexuality; religion; health and disability; physical appearance; and age. Drawing on hot button topics and real-life case studies, and delving into the history of offensive terms, a vivid picture of modern discrimination in language emerges.

How does it cause disease? Is it like flu? What is a pandemic? What can we do to stop its spread?

Since the identification of the first cases of the coronavirus in December 2019 in Wuhan, China, there has been a significant amount of confusion regarding the origin and spread of the so-called ‘coronavirus’, officially named SARS-CoV-2, and the cause of the disease COVID-19. Written by a leading expert, this thoughtful and balanced introduction provides answers to the most common questions surrounding coronavirus for a general audience.

“There could not be a more timely guide to taking effective climate action.”

- Tim Flannery, author of The Weather Makers Sometimes solving climate change seems impossibly complex, and it is hard to know what changes we all can and should make to help. This book offers hope. Drawing on the latest research, Mark Jaccard shows us how to recognize the absolutely essential actions (decarbonizing electricity and transport) and policies (regulations that phase out coal plants and gasoline vehicles, carbon tariffs). Rather than feeling paralyzed and pursuing ineffective efforts, we can all make a few key changes in our lifestyles to reduce emissions, to contribute to the urgently needed affordable energy transition in developed and developing countries. In combining the personal and the political, The Citizen’s Guide to Climate Success offers a clear and simple strategic path to solving the greatest problem of our times.

The Letters of Ernest Hemingway: Volume 5, 1932–1934 traces Hemingway’s completion and publication of two important works: his groundbreaking treatise on bullfighting and writing, Death in the Afternoon (1932), and his short-story collection Winner Take Nothing (1933). During this intensely active period, Hemingway hunts in Arkansas and Wyoming, fishes the waters off Key West and Cuba, revisits Madrid and Paris, and undertakes a long-anticipated African safari. He witnesses transitions at home and abroad: the deepening Great Depression, Prohibition-era rum-running across the Florida Straits, revolution in Cuba, and political unrest in Spain. His readership and celebrity continue to expand as he begins contributing articles to the new men’s magazine Esquire.

As the volume ends, he has just acquired his beloved boat, Pilar. Hemingway relates these experiences and events in a fluent flow of correspondence, rich in details that will color much of his future writing.

PIE How Great Companies Deliver Both Purpose and Profit

ALEX EDMANS

What is a responsible business? Common wisdom is that it’s one that sacrifices profit for social outcomes.

But while it’s crucial for companies to serve society, they also have a duty to generate profit for investors – savers, retirees and pension funds. Based on the highest-quality evidence and real-life examples spanning industries and countries, Alex Edmans shows that it’s not an either-or choice – companies can create both profit and social value. The most successful companies don’t target profit directly, but are driven by purpose – the desire to serve a societal need and contribute to human betterment. The book explains how to embed purpose into practice so that it’s more than just a mission statement, and discusses the critical role of working collaboratively with a company’s investors, employees and customers.

Rigorous research also uncovers surprising results on how executive pay, shareholder activism and share buybacks can be used for the common good.
