How did humankind deal with the extreme challenges of the last Ice Age? How have the relatively benign post-Ice Age conditions affected the evolution and spread of humanity across the globe? William Burroughs sets our genetic history in the context of climate change during prehistory, and thus the origin of many features of our modern world are identified. He reviews the aspects of our physiology and intellectual development that have been influenced by climatic factors, and how features of our lives - diet, language, domestication of animals - are also the product of the climate in which we evolved. To summarize: climate change in prehistory has made us what we are today. The author weaves together studies of the climate with anthropological, archaeological and historical studies, and will fascinate all those interested in the effects of climate on human development and history.

London: Earthscan Publications. 185 pp. Hardback octavo, no jacket as issued, pictorial cover, very good condition. Michael Heazle explores how uncertainty is interpreted and used by policy makers, experts and politicians. It argues that conventional notions of rational, evidence-based policy making - hailed by governments and organisations across the world as the only way to make good policy - is impossible in highly complex and uncertain environments. The blind pursuit of such a rational goal is in fact irrational in a world of competing values and interests. Based on two high-profile case studies: the Iraq War, and climate change policy in the US, UK and Australia. Based on three years' research - including interviews with experts such as Hans Blix, Paul Pillar and Brian Jones. Both case studies show that treatment of uncertainty issues in specialist advice is often determined by how well the advice fits with or contradicts the policy goals and orientation of the politicians. One should not allow the debate to be side-tracked by arguments over whose expert advice is "more right". We must accept that uncertainty in complex issues is unavoidable, and recognise the values and interests that lie at the heart of the issues. Offers a hedging approach; this enables policy makers to manage rather than eliminate uncertainty. ISBN/ASIN: 9781849710831. Our Book No: 14256. $30 AUD.

(Madman's Island, by Ion Idriess, Angus & Robertson, 1938.) Ion Idriess first wrote this book in 1927 as a novel - the book failed, and the publisher asked him to rewrite it in 1938 in this present form as a true adventure story. It is set on an island of the Great Barrier Reef. Idriess tells of six terrible months spent on a small island of the Howick Group with only a madman, Charlie, for company. In his struggle to keep alive, he had desperate adventures and suffered the terrors of complete loneliness. Humour, grim realism and strange beauty mingle in this classic adventure tale, told with plenty of vitality. ISBN/ASIN: B000KEYOBM. Our Book No: 40415. $60 AUD.

New Delhi: Manohar. 310 pp. Hardback small octavo, dustjacket, very good plus condition (in very good plus dustjacket), pictorial cover, tables, minor edgewear. Deccan like the rest of British India had all the social economic and material ingredients for proliferation of epidemic diseases. Its population lived in unsanitary conditions, consumed contaminated water, and was crowded into wretched houses: extreme poverty, sunk in debt, and suffering from serious food shortage and malnutrition. The existence of mass poverty and its denial by the colonial state made the situation worse. This book argues that the reason for dysentery diarrhoea and bowel complaints was really malnutrition undernourishment and the general poverty of the masses. Even though the diseases were associated with poverty and malnutrition, the British imperial medical establishment continued to blindly adhere to its non-contagion miasmatic ideology. When the imperial state created hundreds of miles of roads and railways, diseases like cholera malaria, smallpox and plague proliferated everywhere. ISBN/ASIN: 8173043140.

Thomas Griffith Taylor (1880 - 1963) was a geographer, anthropologist and world explorer. They explain what drove this 'long, lean, lanky' man to such extremes: geographically, intellectually and politically. His travels took him from Captain Scott's final expedition in Antarctica to every continent on earth. In a life that stretched from the Boer War to the Cold War, he sought to enlighten the public on the human relation to the environment. As a geographer whose work crossed into anthropology, he courted controversy and craved recognition. Today's preoccupations with climate change, the ascendancy of Asian nations, and the renewed threat of nuclear war, were all addressed by Taylor generations earlier.

They exploded 12 atomic bombs on Australian soil - at the Monte Bello (Montebello) Islands, Emu Field and Maralinga. About 16,000 Australian servicemen were guinea pigs. RAAF pilots were ordered to fly into nuclear mushroom clouds, soldiers told to walk into radioactive ground zero, sailors retrieved highly contaminated debris - none being aware of the dangers faced. But the betrayal didn't end with our soldiers. Secret monitoring stations were set up around the continent to measure radiation levels and a clandestine decades-long project stole bones from dead babies to see how much fallout had contaminated their small bodies - and their grieving parents were never told.

The United Nations named the village a sustainability model for the developing world.
