The Good, the Bad & the UnlikelyAustralia’s Prime Ministers

Mungo MacC allum

Good drinkers, bad swimmers and unlikely heroes

Since Australia’s birth in 1901, twenty-seven politicians have run the national show. Their time at the top has ranged from eight days for Frank Forde to eighteen years for Bob Menzies. But whatever the length of their term, each Prime Minister has a story worth sharing.

Edmund Barton united the bickering states in a federation; Billy Hughes forced US President Woodrow Wilson to take notice of Australia. The unlucky Jimmy Scullin took office days before Wall Street crashed into the Great Depression, while John Curtin faced the ultimate challenge of wartime leadership.

With characteristic wit and expert knowledge, Mungo MacCallum brings the nation’s leaders to vivid life. The Good, the Bad and the Unlikely tells the tale of the many men and one woman who’ve had a crack at running the country. It is a wonderfully entertain-ing education.

Mungo�MacCallum�has long been one of Australia’s most influential and entertaining political journalists, in a career spanning more than four decades. He has worked with Nation Review, the Australian, the Age, the Financial Review, the Sydney Morning Herald and numer-ous magazines, as well as the ABC, SBS, Channel Nine and Channel Ten. His books include the bestselling Mungo: The Man Who Laughs, Run Johnny Run and Poll Dancing.

Botany BayThe Real Story

Al an Frost

For the first time in two hundred years, here is a full and authen-tic account of the beginnings of modern Australia.

We all know the conventional story. Established as a dumping ground for Britain’s criminals, Australia owes its existence simply to overcrowded jails and a daunting remoteness from everywhere else.

In Botany Bay: The Real Story, Alan Frost goes beyond these cli-chés to shed new light on the decision to settle New South Wales. He examines the hopes and fears of the politicians who took the decision, and the larger commercial and military needs that underwrote it.

The culmination of thirty-five years’ study of previously neglected archives, Botany Bay is a groundbreaking work that offers new and surprising insights into how Australia came to be.

Alan�Frost is the author of First Fleet: The Real Story and emeritus professor of history at La Trobe University, Melbourne. His previous books include The Global Reach of Empire, Voyage of the Endeavour, Arthur Phillip and Botany Bay Mirages.

ReframeHow to Solve the World’s Trickiest Problems

Eric Knight

‘An original and vital contribution to understanding politics’ – Matt Ridley, author of The Rational Optimist

How to solve the world’s trickiest political problems?

In Reframe, Eric Knight explains how a change of focus can reveal a solution that was lying just outside your frame of vision.

From terrorism to global warming, from border security to high finance, he brings a new perspective that is both exhilarating and useful.

Why can’t we eliminate terrorism by killing terrorists?

Why can’t we learn anything about climate change by talking about the weather?

Why can’t we resolve immigration tensions by building higher fences?

And what do fishermen in Turkey have to teach us about interna-tional relations?

This is an optimistic, lucid and original book by a brilliant young Australian thinker.

Eric�Knight was born in 1983. A former Rhodes scholar, he has been an econom-ics consultant to the OECD, the UN and the World Bank. He writes for The Sydney Morning Herald, The Age, The Drum, The Spectator and the Monthly. This is his first book.

Into the Woods The Battle for Tasmania’s Forests

Anna Krien

For many years, the Tasmanian wilderness has been the site of a fierce struggle. At stake is the future of old-growth forests. Log-gers and police face off with protesters deep in the forest, while savage political games are played in the courts and parliaments.

In Into the Woods, Anna Krien, armed with a notebook, a sleep-ing bag and a rusty sedan, ventures behind the battlelines to see what it is like to risk everything for a cause. She speaks to ferals and premiers, sawmillers and whistle-blowers. She investigates personalities and convictions, methods and motives. This is a book about a company that wanted its way and the resistance that eventually forced it to change.

Updated with a new afterword, Into the Woods is intimate, intrepid reporting by a fearless new voice.

Anna�Krien is the author of Into the Woods: The Battle for Tasmania’s Forests, which won the Literary or Media Work Advancing Public Debate Award in the 2011 Queensland Premier’s Literary Awards and also the People’s Choice Award in the 2011 Victorian Premier’s Literary Awards. Anna’s work has been published in the Monthly, the Age, the Big Issue, The Best Austral-ian Essays, The Best Australian Stories, Griffith Review, Voiceworks, Going Down Swinging, Colors, Frankie and Dazed & Confused.

Reaching One Thousand A Story of Love, Motherhood & Autism

R achel Robertson

‘This is the best kind of memoir – there is a beautiful calm clarity that drew me in, and held me until the end.’ – Georgia Blain

When Ben is a baby, Rachel puts his behavioural quirks down to eccentricity. He likes to count letterboxes; he hates to get his hands dirty; loud noises make him anxious.

But as Ben grows and his quirks become more pronounced, it becomes clear there is something else going on. When he is diagnosed with autism, Rachel must reconsider everything she thought she knew about parenting, about Ben, and about how best to mother him. Reaching One Thousand charts her quest to understand autism and to build a new kind of relationship with her son.

Exquisitely written, this is a thought-provoking reflection on family and understanding and a tender love letter from a mother to her son.

R achel�Robertson lectures in profes-sional writing and publishing at Curtin Uni-versity. Her fiction and essays have been published in The Best Australian Essays, Australian Book Review, Griffith Review and Island. Her essay ‘Reaching One Thousand’ was joint winner of the 2008 Calibre Prize.

Quarterly Essay 45: Us & ThemOn the Importance of Animals

Anna Krien

For the first time in history, humans sit unchallenged at the top of the food chain. As we encroach on the wild and a vast wave of extinctions gathers force, how has our relationship to animals changed?

In this dazzling piece of reportage, Anna Krien investigates the contemporary animal kingdom and our place in it. From pets to food, from wildness to science experiments, Krien also reveals how animals are faring in this new world order. Examples range from the joyful to the deeply unsettling.

As Krien delves deeper, she finds that animals can trigger primal emotions in us, which we are often not willing to acknowledge. Us & Them is a clear-eyed look at how we do – and should – treat animals, and an original look at everything from animal rights lawyers to Indonesian abattoirs. It is also a meditation on humanness and animalness, sameness and otherness, that sheds new light on our contemporary obsession with animals.

Anna�Krien is the author of Into the Woods: The Battle for Tasmania’s Forests, which won the Literary or Media Work Advancing Public Debate Award in the 2011 Queensland Premier’s Literary Awards and also the People’s Choice Award in the 2011 Victorian Premier’s Literary Awards.

The First FleetThe Real Story

Al an Frost

‘This book will surely alter the way Sydney sees its history.’ – Geoffrey Blainey

In 1787 a convoy of eleven ships, carrying about 1400 people, set out from England for Botany Bay. According to the conven-tional account, it was a shambolic affair: under-prepared, poorly equipped and ill-disciplined. Robert Hughes condemned the organisers’ ‘muddle and lack of foresight’, while Manning Clark described scenes of ‘indescribable misery and confusion’.

In The First Fleet: The Real Story, Alan Frost draws on previously forgotten records to debunk these persistent myths. He shows that the voyage was in fact meticulously planned – reflecting its importance to the British government’s secret ambitions for imperial expansion. He examines the ships and supplies, pas-sengers and behind-the-scenes discussions. In the process, he reveals the hopes and schemes of those who planned the voyage, and the experiences of those who made it.

Alan�Frost is the author of Botany Bay: The Real Story and emeritus professor of history at La Trobe University, Melbourne. His previous books include The Global Reach of Empire, Voyage of the Endeavour, Arthur Phillip and Botany Bay Mirages.

One Way or AnotherThe Story of a Girl Who Loved Rock Stars

Nikki McWat ters

‘A great Australian rock ’n’ roll read’ – Steve Kilbey

In 1981, fifteen-year-old Nikki McWatters is living in a Gold Coast suburb, dragging herself through humdrum schooldays and dreaming of losing her virginity to a rock star. With three friends she starts the Vulture Club for aspiring groupies – and so begins a festival of sex, drugs and rock ’n’ roll.

As Nikki gets older, her conquests get bigger and the stakes get higher. From Australian Crawl to INXS, Pseudo Echo to Duran Duran, she is living her teenage dream – but is the groupie life all it’s cracked up to be?

One Way or Another is an irresistible romp through a world of pub rock, big hair, wild nights and mornings after. With irrepressible humour and a bulging little black book, Nikki McWatters recalls an age when everything seemed possible – even if everything wasn’t such a good idea.

Nikki�McWatters has had a varied career, from film and television acting to teaching to legal counselling. She lives in Queensland with her husband and children. One Way or Another was shortlisted for the Emerging Author Award in the Queensland Premier’s Literary Awards.

The China ChoiceWhy America Should Share Power

Hugh White

The crucial question for this century is how America should respond to the rise of China.

In The China Choice, strategic expert Hugh White sets out Amer-ica’s options in the Asian century. As China ascends, America faces a stark decision about its future. If China continues to grow, the current American leadership in Asia will be unsustainable.

America has three choices: it can compete with China, share power with China or concede leadership to China. The choice is momentous: as significant for America’s future as any it has faced in the past.

White controversially argues that America’s best option is to share power with China and relinquish its supremacy. As these two behemoths face off across the Pacific, the choice America makes will also have an enormous impact on Australia’s role in the region. The China Choice is an urgent intervention in the China debate and provides a blueprint for a peaceful future.

Hugh�White is a professor of strategic studies at ANU and a visiting fellow at the Lowy Institute. He has been an intelligence analyst with the Office of National Assess-ments, a journalist with the Sydney Morn-ing Herald, a senior adviser to Defence Minister Kim Beazley and Prime Minister Bob Hawke, and a senior official in the Department of Defence, where from 1995 to 2000 he was deputy secretary for strat-egy and intelligence and a co-author of Australia’s Defence White Paper 2000.

The Weight of a Human Heart

Ryan O’Neill

Sometimes comic, sometimes tragic, this short-story collection is always startlingly original.

Dazzlingly inventive and devastatingly true to life, The Weight of a Human Heart turns the rules of storytelling on their head.

A series of graphs illustrates the disintegration of a marriage, step by excruciating step.

A literary stoush – and an affair – play out in the book review section of a national newspaper.

The heartbreaking story of a Rwandan boy is hidden within his English exam paper.

A young girl learns her mother’s disturbing secrets through the broken key on a typewriter.

Ranging from Australia to Africa to China and back again, The Weight of a Human Heart heralds a fresh new voice in Australian literature.

Ryan�O’Neill was born in Glasgow in 1975. He lived in Africa, Europe and Asia before settling in Newcastle, Australia, with his wife and two daughters. His fiction has appeared in The Best Australian Stories, The Sleepers Almanac, Meanjin, New Australian Stories, Wet Ink, Etchings and Westerly. His work has won the Hal Porter and Roland Robinson awards and been shortlisted for the Queensland Premier’s Steele Rudd Award and the Age Short-Story Prize. He teaches at the University of Newcastle.

Lives

Peter Robb

In Lives, an extraordinary writer encounters some remarkable people – and evokes their inner worlds.

Peter Robb has an uncanny ability to get under the skin of his profile subjects: to show them in a new light, to home in on what makes them tick. In Australia, these range from Alex Dimitriades to Ivan Milat, from Marcia Langton to Julian Assange. In Italy, Robb immerses the reader in the worlds of Fellini, Caravaggio, Calvino and Pasolini. Elsewhere, his portraits of EM Forster, Arthur Rimbaud, Peter Carey and Gore Vidal illuminate the real people behind the public image. Featuring much previously unpublished material, this is a fascinating exploration of human life in all its variety, glamour and idiosyncrasy.

Peter�Robb is the author of Midnight in Sicily, M, A Death in Brazil and Streetfight in Naples. His books have been published around the world to acclaim and contro-versy. A regular contributor to the Monthly and the Australian, he lives in Sydney.

The Kingdom and the QuarryChina, Australia, Fear and Greed

David Uren

China has rapidly become Australia’s most important trading partner. It is also the rising power in our region. In The Kingdom and the Quarry David Uren takes us inside the high-stakes world of the two countries’ relationship. From resource grabs to cyber-surveillance, this is an authoritative and news-breaking book that investigates us inside key political and business events of recent times and tells us what really happened.

Uren paints vivid portraits of new billionaires like Twiggy Forrest and Clive Palmer seizing their chance, of BHP and Rio Tinto playing off Chinese interests and the Australian government, of Kevin Rudd feuding with China’s leaders, and of a new world of spies, security, investment and opportunity. Above all he gives an unparalleled sense of fear and greed in the corridors of power.

David�Uren is economics correspondent of the Australian. With more than 30 years’ reporting experience, he is a former editor of Business Review Weekly and the author (with Lenore Taylor) of Shit-storm: Inside Labor’s Darkest Days.

The Shortest History of Europe

John Hirst

Celebrated historian John Hirst offers a fascinating exploration of the qualities that made Europe a world-changing civilisation.

The Shortest History of Europe begins with a rapid overview of European civilisation, describing its birth from an unlikely mixture of classical learning, Christianity and German warrior culture. Over the centuries, this unstable blend produced highly distinctive characters – pious knights and belligerent popes, romantics spouting folklore and revolutionaries imitating Rome

– and its coming apart provided the dynamic of European history in modern times.

Accompanied by lively illustrations, The Shortest History of Europe is a clear, humorous and thought-provoking account of a remarkable civilisation. This new edition brings the story into the present, covering the world wars and beyond.

‘Crisp, lucid and evocative’ – Australian Book Review

John�Hirst ’s books include Freedom on the Fatal Shore, Looking for Australia and Sense & Nonsense in Australian History. He wrote the official history of Australia for new citizens and took a prominent part in the History Summit convened by the prime minister in 2006. Until recently he was reader in history at La Trobe University, Melbourne.

Quarterly Essay 46: The Big Whinge Politics, Affluence and an Angry Nation

L aur a Tingle

Why are Australians so disenchanted and angry when it comes to politics? Given how well the country is going, by all rights we should be delighted with our political leadership. And yet we’re not.

In Quarterly Essay 46, Laura Tingle argues that something deep in the culture now amplifies antagonism and complaint. By turns we rail at the prime minister, whinge about minority government, and act as if the mining and carbon taxes will be the end of the world.

When we were prosperous in times past, we did things like form a federation. What has changed? What would a different politics look like? And, Tingle asks, can a leader surf the wave of anger all the way to power?

Laur a�Tingle is political editor of the Australian Financial Review. She won the Paul Lyneham Award for Excellence in Press Gallery Journalism in 2004, and Walkley awards in 2005 and 2011. In 2010 she was shortlisted for the John Button Prize for political writing. She appears reg-ularly on Radio National’s Late Night Live and ABC-TV’s Insiders.
