Download or read book The Coast written by Chris Hammer and published by Melbourne Univ. Publishing. This book was released on 2012-09-01 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the winner of the ACT Book of the year Award for his first book, The River, comes this celebration of the Australian seascape, from its natural grandeur to the quirky individualism of those who live beside it. It is also the heartfelt and pertinent story of the issues facing our coast today and the resilience of communities at a turning point. Chris Hammer travels the length of the east coast of Australia on a journey of discovery and reflection, from the Torres Strait to Tasmania; from an island whose beach has been lost forever to the humbling optimism of the survivors of Cyclone yasi; from the showy beaches of Sydney to a beautiful village that endures despite the loss of its fishing fleet. This is a relevant, satisfying and highly readable book, imbued with a sense of optimism and humour. Even as new economic imperatives emerge and the shift in our climate becomes apparent, we can revel in the heritage and character of our shores, reminding us why the coast is so important to all of us.

Book Synopsis Island Off the Coast of Asia by : Clinton Fernandes
Download or read book Island Off the Coast of Asia written by Clinton Fernandes and published by . This book was released on 2018-10 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Island offthe Coast of Asia: Instruments of Statecraft in Australian Foreign Policy is an unprecedented 230-yearAustralian study that reveals the central role of economic actors in definingand pursuing the 'national interest'. Australia's search for security hasmeant much more than protection from military invasion. It includes the securityof economic interests, and the pursuit of a political order that secures them.This view of security has deep roots in Australia's geopoliticaltradition. Australia began its existence on the winning side of aworldwide confrontation between imperial powers and the rest of the world. Thebook shows that the 'organising principle' of Australian foreign policy is tostay on the winning side of the global contest. Australia has pursued thisprinciple in war and peace, using the full arsenal of diplomacy, law,investment, research, negotiations, military force and espionage. This bookuses many decades of secret files to reveal the inner workings of high-levelpolicy. 'This deeply researchedand penetrating study of Australian foreign policy from the earliest days - withscrupulous use of secret files and close analysis of historical events - demonstratesconvincingly that its essential continuity is rooted in the power and interestsof the private sector, where fundamental economic decisions are made. Thosedemands determine the 'national interest' and the goal of securing a politicalorder that responds to them. A very valuable and instructive exercise inauthentic realism, with lessons that generalize broadly.' -- Noam Chomsky, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and theUniversity of Arizona

Book Synopsis King of the Australian Coast by : Marsden Hordern
Download or read book King of the Australian Coast written by Marsden Hordern and published by Melbourne Univ. Publishing. This book was released on 2013-05-09 with total page 790 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Phillip Parker King has been described as the greatest of Australia’s early marine surveyors. But while the achievements of Cook and Flinders are widely known, this is the first telling of King’s story. Unlike Cook and Flinders, King was Australian-born—the son of Philip Gidley King, governor of New South Wales. In a series of gruelling voyages between 1817 and 1822, King charted most of the north-west coast of Australia from the eastern tip of Arnhem Land all the way round to Cape Leeuwin and King George Sound. He surveyed Macquarie Harbour in Van Diemen’s Land and the treacherous waters inside the Great Barrier Reef, filling gaps in the work of his famous predecessors. Marsden Hordern, a splendid storyteller, creates for the reader a sense of following, engrossed, in King’s wake. The hazards of reefs, shoals and tides are ever-present, as is delight in unfamiliar wildlife and curiosity about the Aboriginal people. The question left hanging is whether King might be better known today had he been a less capable, good and faithful servant of the Crown, and more inclined to the excess and ineptitude of certain other early explorers. Winner of the New South Wales Premier’s Literary Award for General History. Companion volume to Mariners are Warned!, another prize-winning maritime biography by the same author.

Download or read book Cold Coast written by Robyn Mundy and published by Hardie Grant Publishing. This book was released on 2021-10-27 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner Tasmanian Literary Awards – People's Choice Shortlisted for the Tasmanian Literary Awards – Premier's Prize for Fiction Shortlisted for the 2022 ARA Historical Novel Prize Inspired by the story of Svalbard’s first female trapper, Cold Coast is a gripping portrayal of survival within the stark beauty and perilous wilderness of the high Arctic In 1932, Wanny Woldstad, a young widow, travels to Svalbard, daring to enter the Norwegian trappers’ fiercely guarded male domain. She must prove to Anders Sæterdal, her trapping partner who makes no secret of his disdain, that a woman is fit for the task. Over the course of a Svalbard winter, Wanny and Sæterdal will confront polar bears, traverse glaciers, withstand blizzards and the dangers of sea ice, and hike miles to trap Arctic fox, all in the frigid darkness of the four-month polar night. For Wanny, the darkness hides her own deceptions that, if exposed, speak to the untenable sacrifice of a 1930s woman longing to fulfil a dream. Alongside the raw, confronting nature of the trappers’ work, is the story of a young blue Arctic fox, itself a hunter, who must eke out a living and navigate the trappers’ world if it is to survive its first Arctic winter. PRAISE FOR COLD COAST ‘[Mundy] translates the stark beauty and acerbity of the Arctic with masterly wit and fervour. This is the best kind of novel – one that takes you away from the mundanity of your plastic chair and four concrete walls.’ – Sydney Morning Herald ‘Cold Coast is a stunning novel, rich in metaphor and symbolism...Mundy's writing is poetic and lyrical. It transports the reader to a perilous but unexpectedly luminous part of the world that most people will never visit.’ – The Canberra Times ‘A brilliant feminist biographical natural history novel.’ – Australian Women's Weekly ‘Robyn Mundy’s Cold Coast is a remarkable achievement. It tells Woldstad’s story in gorgeously intimate prose, with page after page of stunning nature writing.’ – Books+Publishing ‘Cold Coast summons the raw beauty of Svalbard with achingly evocative prose. At once visceral and lyrical, I was totally absorbed in the story of Wanny Woldstad and her yearning for wilder freedoms.’ – Hannah Kent, author of Burial Rites ‘An exquisitely written, immersive novel about wildness, survival and the incomparable exhilaration of choosing a bigger life. I was captivated from start to finish.’ – Emily Maguire, author of An Isolated Incident and Love Objects 'Rarely has a book been so evocative of time and place. At once transporting and unsentimental, Cold Coast is as bracing as the arctic winds that sweep through its world. Its truths about love, endurance and courage are visceral and above all exhilarating, even as death hovers unsettlingly near.’ – Lucy Treloar, author of Salt Creek and Wolfe Island 'There is a magic and mystery to the isolated reaches of our world, and Mundy has bottled up its icy wonder for us to savour this summer.' – Jackie Tang, Readings Monthly

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Geologically, the South Australian coast is very young, having evolved over only 1% of geological time, during the past 43 million years since the separation of Australia and Antarctica. It is also very dynamic, with the current shoreline position having been established from only 7000 years ago. The South Australian mainland coast is 3816 km long, with islands providing an additional 1251 km of coast, giving a total coastline of just over 5000 km. South Australian coastal landforms include cliffs, rocky outcrops and shore platforms, mangrove woodlands, mudflats, estuaries, extensive sandy beaches, coastal dunes and coastal barrier systems, as well as numerous near-shore reefs and islands. This book is a landmark study into the variable character of the South Australian coast and its long-term evolution.

Book Synopsis Coastal Management in Australia by : Nick Harvey
Download or read book Coastal Management in Australia written by Nick Harvey and published by University of Adelaide Press. This book was released on 2010 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The coast is one of our most valuable assets but how is it being treated and what is being done to look after it? COASTAL MANAGEMENT IN AUSTRALIA is the first book to provide a comprehensive overview of this important subject. Interesting case studies are used to illustrate human impact on coastal processes as well as demonstrating the global significance of the coast and the international imperative to manage it properly. COASTAL MANAGEMENT IN AUSTRALIA introduces the background to the various coastal management systems operating in Australia and illustrates these with 'real world' examples from the different states and territories. Since this book was first published yet another parliamentary inquiry has been added to some 30 years of national inquiries into coastal management, with further calls for national co-ordination. In addition, the Australian government has focused attention on the potential risks of climate change for the Australian coast. Both authors have national and international coastal expertise; significant academic teaching experience in coastal processes and coastal management; coastal planning and policy skills; and have extensive government expertise in coastal management.
