No Humbug The pioneer educator Stuart Hawthorne MAStuart Hawthorne

Pioneer educator Stuart Hawthorne was Headmaster of Ipswich Grammar and Rector of Otago Boys’ High School. He held these appointments at a time of great social upheaval, when new secular schools were breaking away from centuries-old religious domination and the narrow focus on ‘classics’ was being displaced by a wider range of new ‘liberal’ subjects.

This biographical account reflects on how he delivered the education that he had envisaged during difficult times.

A very timely book considering the political emphasis on education today.

The restoration of Brisbane’s City Hall was not meant to be an archaeological dig. Unexpectedly, a number of artefacts of historical importance were discovered by the construction workers.

Tales from Bush GravesAnne Alloway & Roberta Morrison

It will never be known just how many men, women and children have died and lie buried in the bush. Many of the deaths were not registered, and they are known only because the local paper reported on them. It was not the selector who lost his life, but usually men who had no idea how harsh the country could be, and consequently took risks by walking between stations looking for work, most times with very little water, and not much idea of where they were going. The women followed their men, enduring the harsh conditions and sometimes not seeing another white woman for years. They died during child birth, usually the baby died as well. Young children succumbed to the harsh conditions, dying of convulsions, poisoning, and accidents.

But Stanley has problems closer to home. Amid the friction created by the American presence he has been assigned to find out just why two Australian servicemen have turned up dead, so far from the front line.

Grant Hutchinson re-creates the historical setting realistically: the resentment of American troops, the prejudicial treatment of Aborigines and the mindset of Japanese soldiers. The Courier-Mail

In 1948 young Adelaide girl Lexie Simmons went to live on the great Victoria River Downs station in the remote outback of the Northern Territory. Before she knew it she was married to a head stockman and thrust into the role of ‘bush missus’. There are books aplenty about legendary stockman, drovers and station cooks, but the equally legendary station ‘missus’ has been neglected. The ‘missus’ often endured great isolation, and had to master many skills – butchering cattle, salting beef, making bread, minor surgery, peace-keeping among the station Aborigines, cooking for fifteen or twenty, helping out in the bronco yard, killing the odd snake, and ‘managing’ some of the cantankerous white men who drifted through the outback.

Olympia heard many stories told by her grandmother and her parents, so she started a long journey of researching from Immigration and marine museums records, Googling and visiting Turkey and Greece and in Turkey found her father’s house still locked up as they had left it in 1922.

Diary of a Snake WhispererAdrian Walker

Snakes have absolutely no sense of humor whatsoever! You could tickle their tummies and tell them jokes (both squeaky clean and luridly off colour) without enticing the smallest hint of a chuckle. The same can be said of most people when an intruding snake enters their home. However, as readers of Diary of a Snake Whisperer will discover, a combination of intrusive snakes and distressed homeowners provides a unique recipe for frequent moments of humor. This is Adrian Walker’s account of a year in the life of a professional snake handler.

Never, Ever, Again…Why Australian Abortion Law Needs ReformCaroline de Costa

In Never Ever Again, Caroline de Costa unearths many tragic records to show exactly what abortion meant for Australian women before the landmark Menhennitt judgment in Victoria and other legal cases opened the way for law reformers and enlightened doctors to provide safe accessible abortion. Although abortion law has been reformed or decriminalised in many Australian states and territories, it remains a crime in Queensland, New South Wales and other states.

RU486 is the drug prescribed for medical abortions. This book deals clearly with the nature and effects of the drug, its risks and the history of its development and use in Europe, the United States and other countries. It discusses the drug’s possibilities for use in the future – for medical abortion, but also for contraception and for the treatment of endometriosis, fibroids, and cancers of the breast and brain. RU486 is an important drug; RU486 the book is an important reference source for both women and men.

A day-to-day account of heroism of the stretcher bearers who went out into no-man’s-land and picked up wounded and dying men and struggled back to their own trenches through the glutinous mud while being shot at by German snipers even when they carried a white flag. The author’s steadfast spirit in finding, wherever possible, the lighter side of the war, is something not touched on in many war diaries.

Winning from Downunder Noel Tunny

Winning From Downunder discusses the three advantages, namely leadership, largesse, and luck, enjoyed by the U.S.A. and Australia that brought the Japanese conquest of South East Asia and much of the Pacific to an end. The book gives insights into the personalities of the senior leaders of the Allies as revealed by their own actions and by the opinions expressed by their contemporaries. When discussing the atomic bombing, the women who went to war, the heroism and the brutality of war, this book is faithful to Lord Byron’s belief that, ‘there are deeds that should not pass away and names that should not be forgotten.’

The most important fact about Davies Park was that it was one of the first purpose-built speedways in the world that truly embraced these basic themes of spectacle, crowd participation, sponsorship, noise and excitement in a two-hour package. The raw beginnings were refined and developed at Davies Park in the period 1927-1931. The manner in which the racing was presented at Davies Park in 1927 was the model for how it is still run today.

The St Helena Story Jarvis Finger

Several kilometres from the mouth of the Brisbane River lays St Helena Island. For more than 60 years from 1867, St Helena was home to thousands of society’s outcasts, for here was located colonial Queensland’s foremost prison for men. During those years, and in the decades following its closure in 1933, the lovely little island gained a fearful reputation as ‘the hell hole of the Pacific’ and ‘Queensland’s own Devil’s Island’ where men were reputedly ‘kept chained by day and night’, ‘flogged to death’ and ‘hurried under the sod while their oppressors turned on those still living’.

Voices from Brisbane Rugby League Greg Mallory

This book is an oral history based on interviews with some of the legends of the game. Greg Mallory presents the stories of these greats - the memories, the achievements, the disappointments and the characters they met along the way – in their own words, in a tribute that derives from Greg’s own love of the ‘the greatest game of all’. Such names as Crocker, Lovejoy, Gallagher, Metassa and Leis are just to name a few people portrayed in this book.

The Making of a Metropolis John R. Laverty

Brisbane began as a disreputable convict establishment. All the same it was named after the governor of New South Wales, General Sir Thomas Brisbane. When Queensland was separated from NSW and Brisbane was incorporated as a municipality in 1859, its attributes ensured that it would become capital of the new colony. Despite the ravages of depressions in the mid-1860s and early-1890s, a high birth rate and a vigorous immigration policy produced a rapidly increasing population. Brisbane had reached metropolitan status by 1925. This is the untold story of Brisbane.

The Bird Man Of BrisbaneLouis J Pigott

When Silvester Diggles arrived in Brisbane in 1855, there was little artistic or scientific talent in the small frontier town. By the time of his death in 1880, his paramount legacy was a large book on Australian birds, profusely illustrated with hand-coloured lithographs. Acting as his own publisher from 1865 onwards, Diggles produced the first substantial zoological work to commence publication in Australia. The compilation and content of this rare work of art and natural history is examined here in the light of Diggles’ life and times, as well as his ornithological predecessors and contemporaries.
