39. Buckby, Pauline (2003). David Howie: Devil or Saint? Smithton, TAS: Jamala Press. 186 pp. Paperback octavo, very good condition, no flyleaf or title page as issued, black & white photos, front hinge slightly split (pages firm), minor edgewear corners & top spine. Pauline Buckby records the life of David Howie. The story is one of crime, passion, wrecked ships, attempted murder, sealers, pirates, Aborigines, graft and incredible bravery. He rescued the survivors of the Cataraqui wreck on King Island, Australia's worst sea tragedy on record. He was awarded the title of 'Straits Constable' by the government of the day in order to police the islands of Bass Strait. The historical facts are from appropriate records as detailed in the bibliography. Howie did not leave any diaries, so some speculation and embellishment has been necessary to reconstruct his story where no records exist. An insight into David Howie's immediate family in Fifeshire where he was born, has been well researched. He became a household name in Australia in 1845. The research over many years in England, Scotland and Australia tells the story of a man who became a legend in his adopted country. . ISBN/ASIN: 1876913088. Our Book No: 29603. $30 AUD.

Stuart Kells provides an intimate partnership of three brothers - Allen, Richard and John Lane - lay at the heart of Penguin Books, the greatest modern publishing house. In a spirit of daring and creative opposition, the brothers issued quality books on a massive scale and at cheap prices - and created a revolution in publishing. Yet the 1942 death of John Lane brought the troika to a halt. Allen, the enthusiastic frontman who relied on his younger brothers to drive Penguin's success, became more erratic and suspicious over time. Ultimately, he forced Richard out of the company he had co-founded and built. Explores the little known story of Richard Lane - the heart and backbone of Penguin, and its strongest influence. Richard's experiences as a youth in Australia shaped his character and outlook, and his dedication to the business was matched only by his devotion to his brothers. Relying on unprecedented access to Lane family sources, including Richard's diaries, this book sheds new light on the relationship of Allen, Richard and John, so crucial as a driver of Penguin's spirit and success.

A collection of essays, edited by Antonio Sagona, about ochre mining and ritual in Tasmanian Aborigines. From the earliest times people have dug up red ochre, reduced it in some way to a paste, and used it as a pigment in art and body decoration. Red ochre is found in grave sites all over the world, and clearly has a ritual significance. The Tasmanian Aborigines went to great trouble to procure ochre of the best quality, vivid red being most highly prized, especially for hair decoration. This book explores their mining of red ochre from several angles: (1) The primacy of the colour red in human perception; (2) The archaeological record that attests its use; (3) The geology and vegetation of the Gog Range that contains the Toolumbunner ochre mine; and (4) A detailed technical account of the excavation of the Toolumbunner ochre site, and the stones used to pulverize the red material.
