Iain Chanbers examines some areas of contemporary culture, philosophy and criticism from the postmodern perspective. This leads to Nietzsche and Italian 'weak thought', with the mysteries of being ‘British', and with more immediate concerns such as computers, fashion, gender and ethnicity. All these strands comer together in an increasingly shared network. But is postmodernism the end of the road? The author teaches British culture and cultural theory at a university in Naples, Italy.

Frank Furedi traces the history of Western colonial racist ideology and its role in subjugating non-Western peoples.

The first free settlers who arrived in Sydney in January 1793 established their farms in the area, then called 'Liberty Plains'. From 1841 to 1860 the famous Homebush Racecourse attracted the wealthy to the district. The Rookwood Cemetery, established in the early 1860s cheapened land at the outset and enabled the Redmire estate developer in 1868 to cheaply sell off large blocks. Extensive tree planting, community pride in garden maintenance and a ring of parkland allow the residents to enjoy the best of environments in an area close to the city. (Allen & Unwin, 1985.

Captain Joseph Foveaux of the Rum Corps was granted 105 acres on the southern outskirts of Sydney, he named it Surrey Farm, to remind him of the Surrey countryside near London. One hundred years later the land and scrubby heath that was his farm had become a disreputable slum. In the early 1900s there was a steady growth with factories, and a growing need to demolish the slums of Surry Hills. After World war 2, the reinstatement of the area as a vital residential community came as a surprise to many who had known the bad old days when it was known for bad housing, crime and vice. The influx of migrants and the well-heeled newcomers that followed them back into Surry Hills saved the area..

Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press. 210 pp. Hardback octavo, very good condition (in very good dustjacket), minor edgewear. Dorothy and Jerome Singer assess how television, video games and computers (being easily accessible today) have an impact on imagination and creativity. The two authors (both psychologists) are two wise and long-admired observers of childhood make-believe, whether cognitive (fantasy) or behavioural (play). They are concerned about moral ambiguities created by electronic media. Violent images in games and TV are as toxic as many observers have feared by stimulating destructive ideas and troubling aggression. However, they argue that in fact some screen time can enrich creativity and play, and can even promote school readiness (provided not excessive). With guidance from parents and teachers, empathy and creativity can expand and intensify in the electronic age. Dorothy Singer is Senior Research Scientist in Psychology at Yale University. .
