Book Synopsis The Life of Such is Life by : Roger Osborne
Download or read book The Life of Such is Life written by Roger Osborne and published by Sydney University Press. This book was released on 2022-03-01 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its publication in 1903, Joseph Furphy’s Such is Life has become established as an Australian classic. But which version of the novel is the authoritative text, and what does its history reveal about Australian cultural life? From Furphy’s handwritten manuscript through numerous editions, a controversial abridgement for the British market (condemned by A.D. Hope as a “mutilation”), and periods of obscurity and rediscovery, the text has been reshaped and repackaged by many hands. Furphy’s first editors at the Bulletin diluted his socialist message and “corrected” his Australian slang to create a more marketable book. Later, literary players including Vance and Nettie Palmer, Miles Franklin, Kate Baker and Angus & Robertson all took an interest in how Furphy’s work should be published. In a fascinating piece of literary detective work, Osborne traces the book’s journey and shows how economic and cultural forces helped to shape the novel we read today.

Download or read book Occupational Therapy in Australia written by Ted Brown and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-04-18 with total page 483 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This ground-breaking text provides a comprehensive guide to the occupational therapy profession in Australia, from the profession’s role in the health care system to the broad scope and nature of its practice. The book is organised into three sections: the Australian context; professional issues and practice issues. Contributions from 80 Australian occupational therapists working in education, research, policy and practice bring together the most relevant and up-to-date information in this essential book. The authors begin the Australian environment section with an overview of the Australian health care system, a history of occupational therapy in Australia and the role of Australian occupational therapy professional associations and regulatory bodies. The values and philosophy of occupational therapy, ethical and legal aspects of practice and the role of occupational therapy in population health and health promotion are considered next. The professional issues covered in the book include using effective communication skills, client-centred practice principles and a strength-based approach when working with individuals, families, groups, communities, organisations and populations. Additional topics, including occupational science, the education of occupational therapists, research in occupational therapy, evidence-based practice clinical reasoning and occupational therapy models of practice, are also covered in the middle section of the book. Occupational Therapy in Australia: Practice and Process Issues is established as the essential practice reference for students, practitioners and educators in Australia. This second edition has been revised and updated throughout and includes new chapters on communication skills, environmental aspects of occupational therapy practice and decolonising occupational therapy through a strength-based approach to practice.
Book Synopsis Concrete Demands by : Rhonda Y. Williams
Download or read book Concrete Demands written by Rhonda Y. Williams and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-11-27 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between the 1950s and 1970s, Black Power coalesced as activists advocated a more oppositional approach to fighting racial oppression, emphasizing racial pride, asserting black political, cultural, and economic autonomy, and challenging white power. In Concrete Demands, Rhonda Y. Williams provides a rich, deeply researched history that sheds new light on this important social and political movement, and shows that the era of expansive Black Power politics that emerged in the 1960s had long roots and diverse trajectories within the 20th century. Looking at the struggle from the grassroots level, Williams highlights the role of ordinary people as well as more famous historical actors, and demonstrates that women activists were central to Black Power. Vivid and highly readable, Concrete Demands is a perfect introduction to Black Power in the twentieth century for anyone interested in the history of black liberation movements.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Awful Australian There has been so much adulation lately of Australia, Australian institutions, and the Aus tralian people by writers with axes to grind and English politicians with party ends to serve that the people of the Commonwealth have come to believe that they are the salt of the earth, and that their country is Personally, I am impatient of such and I think it is time somebody called upon the self-satisfied Aus tralians to show cause why a little more humility and a little less arrogance were not more seemly. With a view to restoring an apparently lost sense of proportion to the press and public of the country, I have written the following pages. If in telling the truth I shame file Australian this book will achieve its object. Should a bowl of indigna tion be provoked, then will the condition of affairs be proved worse than my pen has power to depict, and nothing will be left but to declare Australia past redemption.

Book Synopsis Australia's Awakening, Thirty Years in the Life of an Australian Agitator (Classic Reprint) by : William Guthrie Spence

This book was released on 2018-01-14 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Australia's Awakening, Thirty Years in the Life of an Australian Agitator The hidden seed does not spring forth until it is surrounded by the necessary conditions to start its fermentation. When first its little bud reaches the light of day only the keen observer can tell to what family it belongs; by most it is unnoticed. In years it may become a very giant amongst trees. The Labor Movement in Australia has now become an almost dominant factor in the political life of the community; hence its history, its character and aims should be studied by every citizen of our great Commonwealth. The need of some work setting forth the causes leading up to the present position has been felt for some time. I have in this book attempted to meet that much-felt want from the Labor point of view. In What I feel to be an incomplete form I endeavor to furnish a mirror of the past, and to present from the inside what I conceive to be the future outlook. If the Socialist' Movement of the world is helped, encouraged, and stimulated by this record of our success in Australia, I shall have ample reward.

Book Synopsis Greek and Roman Classics in the British Struggle for Social Reform by : Henry Stead
Download or read book Greek and Roman Classics in the British Struggle for Social Reform written by Henry Stead and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2015-06-18 with total page 387 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Greek and Roman Classics in the British Struggle for Social Reform presents an original and carefully argued case for the importance of classical ideas, education and self-education in the personal development and activities of British social reformers in the 19th and first six decades of the 20th century. Usually drawn from the lower echelons of the middle class and the most aspirational artisanal and working-class circles, the prominent reformers, revolutionaries, feminists and educationalists of this era, far from regarding education in Latin and Greek as the preserve of the upper classes and inherently reactionary, were consistently inspired by the Mediterranean Classics and contested the monopoly on access to them often claimed by the wealthy and aristocratic elite. The essays, several of which draw on previously neglected and unpublished sources, cover literary figures (Coleridge, the 'Cockney Classicist' poets including Keats, and Dickens), different cultural media (burlesque theatre, body-building, banner art, poetry, journalism and fiction), topics in social reform (the desirability of revolution, suffrage, poverty, social exclusion, women's rights, healthcare, eugenics, town planning, race relations and workers' education), as well as political affiliations and agencies (Chartists, Trade Unions, the WEA, political parties including the Fabians, the Communist Party of Great Britain and the Labour Party). The sixteen essays in this volume restore to the history of British Classics some of the subject's ideological complexity and instrumentality in social progress, a past which is badly needed in the current debates over the future of the discipline. Contributors include specialists in English Literature, History, Classics and Art.
Book Synopsis The Early Federation Movement of Australia (Classic Reprint) by : C. D. Allin
Download or read book The Early Federation Movement of Australia (Classic Reprint) written by C. D. Allin and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-12 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Early Federation Movement of Australia It is especially appropriate that the nineteenth century, the history of which has been dominated by the spirit of nationalism, and which has witnessed the important federal unions of Switzer land, Canada and Germany, should also see its last days crowned by the unification of the segregated colonies of Australia into a strong federation under the flag of Great Britain. The federal state promises to be as distinctly the dominant type of modern governmental organization as the city state was of ancient Greece. For this reason alone, the Australian federation is especially worthy of study, ' as the latest product of the spirit of the age. Its history and its constitution are particularly valu able, as illustrative of the tendencies of the powerful social and economic forces of society, which enter so largely into the political life of the modern state. The Australian Common wealth Act is not only the most finished product of federal constitution making, embodying the experience of all previous federations, so far as they were found applicable to Australian conditions, but it is as well, one of the most democratic instru ments of government ever framed, expressive of the socialistic tendency of the rule of the working-man. The interest and significance of this event is intensified, if we judge of its im portance, not by theimpression it creates at the moment, but by the truer test of its potentiality in the political andjuristic world, in presenting to the nations of the East and West a new factor in international politics, and in offering to statesmen and jurists an unique model of constitution making. He would indeed be a bold political prophet who would venture to set definite limits to the future greatness and influence of the new federation under the Southern Cross. The history of the evolution of a nation is always a fascin ating and instructive study, more especially so when the new born state is possessed of almost unlimited resources, is inhabited by a race of high intellectual attainments and of liberal culture, and when its citizens, moreover, are among the keenest students of political and of sociological problems. Australia, by reason of her situation, of her history, and of her homogeneous population is an exceptionally favorable fieldfor political experiments, and fortunately her leaders have not been afraid to endeavor to solve some of the. Complex questions of modern social relations, which have daunted the statesmen of the old world. The record of the early stages of the federal movement, when a few chosen spirits were vainly gropingafter some scheme of intercolonial co-operation and unity, is equally valuable if not so interesting as the history of its consummation, in revealing to us the source of the spirit of Australian national ism, which has made federation both possible and actual. It is only in the light of this early struggle which brought out all the forces and issues of nationalism and provincialism, that we can properly interpret the events of the last few years.

Book Synopsis The First World Oil War by : Timothy C. Winegard
Download or read book The First World Oil War written by Timothy C. Winegard and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2016-10-27 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oil is the source of wealth and economic opportunity. Oil is also the root source of global conflict, toxicity and economic disparity. When did oil become such a powerful commodity—during, and in the immediate aftermath of, the First World War. In his groundbreaking book The First World Oil War, Timothy C. Winegard argues that beginning with the First World War, oil became the preeminent commodity to safeguard national security and promote domestic prosperity. For the first time in history, territory was specifically conquered to possess oil fields and resources; vital cogs in the continuation of the industrialized warfare of the Twentieth Century. This original and pioneering study analyzes the evolution of oil as a catalyst for both war and diplomacy, and connects the events of the First World War to contemporary petroleum geo-politics and international aggression.
Book Synopsis Male-to-Female Crossdressing in Early Modern English Literature by : Simone Chess
Download or read book Male-to-Female Crossdressing in Early Modern English Literature written by Simone Chess and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-14 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume examines and theorizes the oft-ignored phenomenon of male-to-female (MTF) crossdressing in early modern drama, prose, and poetry, inviting MTF crossdressing episodes to take a fuller place alongside instances of female-to-male crossdressing and boy actors’ crossdressing, which have long held the spotlight in early modern gender studies. The author argues that MTF crossdressing episodes are especially rich sources for socially-oriented readings of queer gender—that crossdressers’ genders are constructed and represented in relation to romantic partners, communities, and broader social structures like marriage, economy, and sexuality. Further, she argues that these relational representations show that the crossdresser and his/her allies often benefit financially, socially, and erotically from his/her queer gender presentation, a corrective to the dominant idea that queer gender has always been associated with shame, containment, and correction. By attending to these relational and beneficial representations of MTF crossdressers in early modern literature, the volume helps to make a larger space for queer, genderqueer, male-bodied and queer-feminine representations in our conversations about early modern gender and sexuality.

Book Synopsis Early Experiences of Life in South Australia by : John Wrathall Bull
Download or read book Early Experiences of Life in South Australia written by John Wrathall Bull and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-15 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Early Experiences of Life in South Australia: And an Extended Colonial History The following work has already been published in parts in the columns of the South Australian Chronicle, and has been read with very great interest by persons of all classes. The chapters are now rearranged, so that those relating to each special subject or class of subjects appear in their more natural order. The author's aim has been to relate striking incidents coming generally under his own observation in the early days of the province; to describe the struggles of the pioneer settlers, the misfortunes and disasters against which they contended, and the scenes in which they were actors. He has endeavoured to picture South Australia as it was in 1836, and for the next six or seven years, and to do justice to the achievements and character of some men whose merits have not perhaps been at all times sufficiently appreciated. Many of the adventures Mr. Bull describes have a great element of romance about them, and his bush yarns and the chapters on the encounters of the police and settlers with the blacks and bushrangers cannot fail to be exciting and attractive reading. Respecting the views he holds upon some public questions, and concerning the policy of our rulers in the days long gone by, there may be differences of opinion, but there can be no doubt as to the value of this work as an accurate record of events. Its style is not ambitious, but the writer tells his story in an easy, agreeable way. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
