The revised illustrations in this modern edition strive to amalgamate the many images of Australia today. Aboriginal and primitive motifs have been painted in contemporary colours to reflect the Australian landscape, sea, sun and sky. For the sake of clarity a few minor changes have been made to the verse text, but, basically, it remains the same as when it was first written. (The inaugural publication of Margaret Hamilton Books.

Very heavy (1.6 Kg), and not available for postage to destinations outside Australia. This is the story of the men of one of the most highly regarded and trained Australian divisions of World War 2, the 1st Australian Armoured Division (in their own voices as recorded by Cate Clark). The cartoons, poems, drawings, photos and intimate recollections of veterans and the communities that they visited are a valuable part of Australian history. She traces the 1st Australian Armoured Division from its inception in 1941, through manoeuvres in northwest New South Wales and subsequent reorganisation, to its occupancy of the midwest of Western Australia (for home defence), concluding with its disbandment, in September 1943, after the Japanese invasion threat ended. The book then follows the stories of some of the men and units of the Division dispersed to smaller units, until the end of the war. From Western Australia to Queensland, New Guinea, Bougainville and Borneo, the members of the ex-1 AAD showed the skill, spirit and determination of a division that never had the opportunity to fight as a collective force and never had their story told.

Edited by Anthony Payne. Includes a colour facsimile of the original letter in the centre pages. The Columbus Letter that London bookseller Bernard Quaritch bought in 1890 was the most valuable item of printed Americana to ever appear on the market. No other copy of this, the earliest edition - a folio printed in Spanish at Barcelona in 1493 - is known. Quaritch and his assistant Michael Kerney originally published The Spanish Letter of Columbus in 1981 (now reprinted), being the first authoritative study of the document. But, as Felipe Fernandez-Armesto recounts in his introduction (new to this reprint), it nearly got dismissed as a forgery, in era of many forgeries. Quaritch's Letter did contain some errors, mostly the result of assumptions common at the time or deficiencies of knowledge unremedied until later. It demonstrated, correctly, that the folio in question was printed at Barcelona in 1493 and that all other known editions of the Columbus Letter followed it. This was a service to his firm and to the Lenox Library (now part of the New York Public Library), which purchased the item. This new edition also includes an account of the printing of the original Spanish Columbus Letter in 1493 and, drawing on materials surviving in the Quaritch Archive, the story of how Quaritch, and his son Alfred, marketed it in America.

American psychologists Douglas P. Crowne and David Marlowe explore the social-desirability response set, a type of habitual response that can be identified in personality testing. The intuitive plausibility of this test response may distort test results. The authors therefore undertook research to determine if it supported the theory that people describe themselves in favorable terms to obtain the approval of others. They came to believe that social desirability represents a personality variable in its own right, and is not simply a response that can be corrected for to measure underlying personality. The authors are best known for their creation of a popular research tool: the Marlowe-Crowne Social Desirability Scale (MCSDS). ISBN/ASIN: B0000CMICI. Our Book No: 18525. $80 AUD.

It is a comprehensive survey and critique of advances in kimberlite studies over the last 25 years. Kimberlites are rare rock types, but their relative obscurity is overriden by their economic and petrological importance to a degree which is not shared by more common rocks. Kimberlites are consequently of interest to a diverse group of earth scientists, ranging from isotope geochemists concerned with the evolution of the mantle, to volcanologists pondering the origins of diatremes, to exploration geologists seeking new occurrences of the diamondiferous varieties.

A young Queenslander falls in love with a fascinating girl from town but is jilted in favour of a titled man with money. He becomes a misogynist of the deepest dye, and buries himself in a veritable wilderness called Rocky Section — miles from anywhere. One day he discovers a girl near his place who has evidently lost her way and fainted from sheer exhaustion. He takes her to his hut and revives her, only to find that she has lost her memory and cannot tell where she comes from. He hates women with a bitter hatred, but is on the horns of a dilemma. What happens? "The way out" is most interesting, but you must read it for yourself." (Bookseller stamp: J. H. Lundager, My Morgan.). Our Book No: 16426. $150 AUD.

He was celebrated across Europe, during the mid-19th century for his amazing gardens and his cultivation of exotic plants, including 'New Holland plants'. During several years of travelling the world, he spent most of 1834 in the young Australian colonies of Swan River, Van Diemen's Land (Tasmania), Norfolk Island and New South Wales, looking at the flora and collecting the seeds for his gardens. Translated into English for the first time and edited by Dymphna Clark from a 2000-page manuscript, this special book is an insightful record of the flora he found and the interesting people he met. Hugel's botanical influence is still evident in a number of Australian plant names, such as 'Acacia huegelii' and 'Hardenbergia' (named after his sister Countess von Hardenberg). His observations of Australian plants greatly influenced botanist Ferdinand von Mueller. (Number 17 in the lavish Miegunyah Press series.). ISBN/ASIN: 052284474X. Our Book No: 41296. $90 AUD.

Also described are some peripheral rituals: the initiation of the boys, mortuary rites, and sorcery and love magic. One chapter, written specifically for POINT Series, discusses briefly the effect of the proclamation of the Gospel against the background of Yali traditional religion and world-view.
