Book Description
"Tales from the Works of G. A. Henty" is a volume of selections of excerpted stories from the tales of George Alfred Henty. He was a talented English novelist and a war correspondent and is celebrated for his historical adventure stories that were famous in the late 19th century. G. A. Henty's popularity inspired other writers to try writing adventure stories in his style. His best-known works generally revolved around a boy or young man living in troubled times. Henty's main leads, which sometimes included young ladies, were smart, brave, honest, and modest. Contents include: The Mate's Story, From "The Plague Ship" The Explosion In The Vaughan Pit, From "Facing Death" The Red Captain, From "One Of The 28th" A Wife's Stratagem, From "In Freedom's Cause" Kindness Rewarded, From "Captain Bayley's Heir" A Battle With Wolves, From "The Young Carthaginian" A Cyclone In The Bay Of Bengal, From "A Chapter Of Adventures" The Flood In Pine-tree Gulch, From "Tales Of Daring And Danger" A Brush With The Chinese, From "Tales Of Daring And Danger" The Black Death, From "St. George For England" The White Ship, From "The Reign Of Terror" The Child's Return, From "With Wolfe In Canada" The Black Hole Of Calcutta, From "With Clive In India"

Book Description
The institutionalization of History and Philosophy of Science as a distinct field of scholarly endeavour began comparatively early - though not always under that name - in the Australasian region. An initial lecturing appointment was made at the University of Melbourne immediately after the Second World War, in 1946, and other appointments followed as the subject underwent an expansion during the 1950s and 1960s similar to that which took place in other parts of the world. Today there are major Departments at the University of Melbourne, the University of New South Wales and the University of Wollongong, and smaller groups active in many other parts of Australia and in New Zealand. 'Australasian Studies in History and Philosophy of Science' aims to provide a distinctive publication outlet for Australian and New Zealand scholars working in the general area of history, philosophy and social studies of science. Each volume comprises a group of essays on a connected theme, edited by an Australian or a New Zealander with special expertise in that particular area. Papers address general issues, however, rather than local ones; parochial topics are avoided. Further more, though in each volume a majority of the contributors is from Australia or New Zealand, contributions from elsewhere are by no means ruled out. Quite the reverse, in fact - they are actively encouraged wherever appropriate to the balance of the volume in question.

Book Description
In Boom and Bust, the authors draw on the natural history of Australia's charismatic birds to explore the relations between fauna, people and environment in a continent where variability is 'normal' and rainfall patterns not always seasonal. They consider changing ideas about deserts and how these have helped us understand birds and their behaviour in this driest of continents. The book describes the responses of animals and plants to environmental variability and stress. It is also a cultural concept, when it is used to capture the patterns of change wrought by humans in Australia, where landscapes began to become cultural about 55,000 years ago as ecosystems responded to Aboriginal management. In 1788, the British settlement brought, almost simultaneously, both agricultural and industrial revolutions to a land previously managed by fire for hunting. How have birds responded to this second dramatic invasion? Boom and Bust is also a tool for understanding global change. How can Australians in the 21st century better understand how to continue to live in this land as its conditions are still dynamically unfolding in response to the major anthropogenic changes to the whole Earth system? This interdisciplinary collection is written in a straightforward and accessible style. Many of the writers are practising field specialists, and have woven their personal field work into the stories they tell about the birds.
