Papua New Guinea portraits: the expatriate experience »
Publication date: 1978
The Europeans who went to the land that is now called Papua New Guinea went with many different motives: to serve God or mammon, to satisfy their curiosity, to win fame and find adventure. Their lives illustrate that Papua New Guinea was a frontier where men who elsewhere might have led ordinary lives could accomplish the extraordinary. They faced an astonishing range of physical and mental challenges in this, to them, new, formidable and beautiful country. Some walked where no white man had ever trodden; some taught; some preached; some exploited. Inevitably, over time they faced problems of adaptation, none perhaps greater than the change from masta-boi relationship to that where Papua New Guineans rule their own nation, a situation that Hahl or Monckton, for example, would have greeted with total incredulity. Some, like Chalmers, lost their lives there; some, like Mason, fought there; some, like the Leahy family, still live out their lives there. Individually these pen portraits sketch men who were adventurous, physically tough, and mentally flexible; together they vividly portray the way of life of the white man in Prospero{u2019}s other island.

The Ruhr and revolution: the revolutionary movement in the Rhenish-Westphalian industrial region 1912-1919 »
Publication date: 1978
The German Revolution and its aftermath, the period of the Workers' and Soldiers' Councils, was a critical time in German history. Historians have asked whether the revolution could have changed the then existing inequalities. If so, it might have formed a basis for reconstruction which in turn would have arrested the deep division in the German labour movement, a major factor crippling Weimar Germany which contributed to the rise of Nazism. Dr Tampke deals with the revolutionary movement in the Rhenish- Westphalian Industrial Region - the Ruhr as it is commonly called, a part of Germany where the workers' radicalism was especially pronounced. He seeks to explain why the revolution took such a variable course in the Ruhr. This book moves into urban and regional history, a field that has so far been little studied and is an important contribution to knowledge of European urban and working-class history.
Fishing around the Monaro: a selection from The seven rivers »
Publication date: 1978
This is not a fishing guidebook or a how-to-fish book, but a book written, in the words of the author, "for the pleasure of going fishing again in retrospect along my favourite rivers". Reprinted from The Seven Rivers, Douglas Stewart's reminiscences of fishing in Australia and New Zealand, this collection is an affectionate evocation of the wildlife, the scenery, the fishermen and the fish of some of the rivers accessible to Canberra anglers.
Give and take: exchange in Wola society »
Publication date: 1978
The Wola people of the Highlands of Papua New Guinea place unusual emphasis on the sovereignty of the individual. Their society places few constraints on its members; they have no government, no authoritative leaders, no formal judicial system. If to paraphrase Rousseau, man is born free but is everywhere in chains, Wola man is very lightly shackled. Order in Wola Society is based on the exchange of wealth, the effect of an elaborate exchange system that allows the handing round of wealth - pearl shells, pigs and other, minor items. Exchange among the Wola is an important social principle. It requires co-operation and constrains the fractious individual to maintain an ordered society. This book presents a vigorous, new analysis of a Highlands people that is a substantial contribution both to the ethnography of the New Guinea Highlands and to anthropological theory.
Chemistry in the market place »
Publication date: 1978
This book is an expanded version of the first edition of Chemistry in the Market Place. It is a work of high seriousness but its 'flavour' is perhaps best captured in the words of its author as he describes the circumstances of its beginnings: {u2018}over three glasses of cool, artificially coloured, artificially foam stabilised, enzyme clarified, preserved, gassed, amber fluid{u2019} two colleagues and he came to realise that consumers needed some {u2018}real{u2019} chemistry, chemistry that would help them to make sense of the arguments that rage about various aspects of consumer products, particularly those of safety and efficacy. The thrust of the book is towards the product and the chemistry needed to understand it, rather than towards chemistry illustrated by the product. Its scope is wide and includes chemistry in the laundry, the kitchen, the garden, the boudoir, the medicine chest. It also deals with motor cars, the accidental poisoning of children, and carcinogens. It is extensively illustrated with plates, figures, and tables, and contains practical experiments for its users. The book will be welcomed by high school, college and adult education lecturers who are interested in creating courses in consumer chemistry. Concerned consumers will also benefit greatly from the information the work contains, regardless of their knowledge of chemistry. Home economics teachers will find that it forms a perfect complement to their existing texts. It is, in short, an important, practical, hook on a highly significant subject.
Studies in the immigration of the highly skilled »
Publication date: 1978
Despite the quantity of official and academic studies generated by the postwar immigration program, little publicity has been given to Australia's gain of highly skilled workers. This book has been written to fill out our knowledge in this area. Until recently, Australia experienced shortages of professional man power, and both government and private employers looked abroad for it. But professional skills are not as easily transferred across the globe as are lesser skills. The postwar years have seen conflict between the Australian government, seeking a broad immigration policy, and the professional groups, responsible for maintaining standards within their professions. The author devotes the last part of her book to one of the larger professions, the architects, yet many of her findings apply to the profes sions generally. Most 'professional' immigrants are British by training, if not by birth, and this happy accident has made them automatically acceptable. The 'non-acceptable' must face examination - yet the level of average earnings does not suggest that the non-British trained are inferior as practitioners. Mrs Salter shows that of recent years the trend has been towards an 'internationalisation' of standards by the professional bodies. This book will be read with interest by government officers and professional people, and by all students of Australia's immigrant population.
Your own pigs you may not eat: a comparative study of New Guinea societies »
Publication date: 1978
Pigs, yams, valuables, and women are items of exchange throughout New Guinea. Their widespread ceremonial exchange, one of the most striking characteristics of New Guinea life, does not arise out of economic necessity. Rather, ceremonial exchange is a total social phenomenon in that the ritual distribution of large quantities of food and valuables reflects the interplay between kinship and marriage structures, the nature of political leadership, and the religious and symbolic systems found in these cultures. Your Own Pigs You May Not Eat is an admonition to exchange as well as a title. The book is a comparative study of thirteen New Guinea societies, focusing on these distinctive ceremonial distributions as a way of understanding the relationship between exchange and various social and cultural domains. Paula Rubel and Abraham Rosman write as structural anthropologists, drawing in part on the work of Levi-Strauss and Edmund Leach. The first section of the book analyzes the thirteen societies in terms of variables relating to large-scale ceremonial exchange, and each chapter concludes with a structural model based on the results. The authors then compare related groups of variables, such as kinship, marriage rules and structures of affinal relationships, symbolic meanings, and different kinds of exchange. The book concludes by showing how the underlying structures of the thirteen groups may be related to each other by a series of transformations. These transformations are then related to a postulated prototypical society, and the whole series forms a hypothesis about the evolution of societies in New Guinea. Many studies have been done on New Guinea cultures but this wide-ranging work, with its comparison of a number of societies rather than an examination of parts of one or two cultures, provides a unique theoretical synthesis.
A matter of justice »
Publication date: 1978
The Aboriginal 'Embassy' on the lawns outside Parliament House, Canberra, was a striking symbol of the dissatisfaction many Aborigines feel with the justice they receive under the white man's law. This book demonstrates how that justice discriminates against Aboriginal Australians. Dr Rowley discusses typical situations - the plight of the Aboriginal employee on the northern cattle stations, the fringe dwellers round country towns, those living in the cities and those still on managed reserves. He examines the question of land rights, and the failure of the white institutions to offer justice to Aborigines. The book ends with a discussion of the role of bureaucracy in Aboriginal administration and of the opportunities which could be offered to Aborigines through new institutions. In A Matter of Justice the author's knowledge and understanding of Aborigines and their problems reveals a compassion and humanity towards Aboriginal people all too rare among white Australians.
Safe disposal of high level nuclear reactor wastes: a new strategy »
Publication date: 1978
A new and improved strategy for safe disposal of wastes from nuclear reactors is provided by a study of the geochemical means by which natural rocks and minerals retain the same elements that are present in these wastes. Certain natural minerals have demonstrated the capacity to immobilise radwaste elements for periods up to 2000 million years, and the fundamental reasons underlying this capacity are well understood in terms of the basic principles of geochemistry. Professor Ringwood outlines his SYNROC process, which utilises currently available technology to produce synthetic igneous rocks in which high-level wastes are incorporated. Fol lowing nature's example, the synthetic minerals making up these rocks are specially tailored to immobilise the radwaste elements. New methods of processing and storing SYNROC materials provide additional fail-safe barriers which further prevent nuclear wastes from entering the biosphere. Ringwood's principal conclusion is that the problem of isolating high-level nuclear wastes from the biosphere can be solved. This slim volume will present no storage problems: it may solve many.
Intergovernmental financial relations in the United Kingdom »
Publication date: 1978
The main emphasis is on the financial relations between central and local government in the United Kingdom. The opportunity is taken to draw on the large amount of information published in 1976 as a consequence of the first major official inquiry into local finances for some fifty years. Attention is also given to the financial implications of the proposals for devolution of power to new Scottish and Welsh Assemblies. Although the mono graph primarily relates to intergovernmental financial matters in the U.K., parallels are drawn from time to time with other countries and there is also some examination of the common underlying theoretical issues. After holding academic posts in the Universities of Cambridge and Manchester, the author took up his present position as Professor of Economics (with special reference to the Public Sector) at the London School of Economics in 1970. He has written a variety of books and articles in the field of public finance and has been both a Visiting Professor and a Visiting Fellow of the Australian National University.

Governmental and intergovernmental immunity in Australia and Canada »
Publication date: 1978
As the state comes to play a larger role in the community the question of the ex tent to which government is subject to the general law of the land assumes in creasing importance. This book examines the limits of two related forms of state immunity: crown or governmental immunity from statute and intergovernmental immunity. The first results from the rule of statutory construction that the crown, representing the executive government, is not bound by legislation except by ex press words or necessary implication. The second is of a constitutional order and provides a degree of freedom to each level of authority in a federal system from the laws of the other level of authority. The author considers, in separate chapters, the effect which statutes can have upon a government when it confronts the legal system in tort proceedings, in criminal actions, as a party to a contract, as a creditor, and as a potential taxpayer. Some of the particular questions that are canvassed are as follows: Can the crown recover damages against a subject beyond the limit of liability prescribed by statute? Is a servant of the crown, such as a member of the armed forces, liable to conviction for a traffic offence committed while in the course of his duty? Is the Commonwealth of Australia as a landlord limited in what it may charge its tenants by state rent control legislation? Can a provincial liquor board import supplies for resale free of Canadian customs duties? The author{u2019}s examination of judicial decisions on intergovernmental immun ity, one of the most difficult areas of constitutional law, exposes the confusion that exists as to the precise scope of the immunity. One of the principal purposes of this book is to impose some order on this jurisprudential chaos and to suggest directions of approach for the future. This incisive analysis of a crucial area of the law will be of interest to all who are concerned with governmental accountability as well as to jurists, judges, and lawyers.

Episodes of old Canberra »
Publication date: 1978
The history of Canberra goes back long before today{u2019}s Y-shaped city of sprawling brick veneer suburbs began to take shape. Episodes of Old Canberra traces links with Nelson{u2019}s victory at Trafalgar, the Napoleonic wars and the England ofGeorgian times. It tells how pioneers explored the area and their contacts with the Aborigines, how squatters came and the convicts stole to live. This lively text is enhanced by many illustrations linking present day Canberra with the past.
Crisis of command: Australian generalship and the Japanese threat, 1941-1943 »
Publication date: 1978
How good or bod was the performance of Australian military commanders in World War II? Controversy over this has continued ever since the end of the war. Australia entered the war with seriously deficient defence planning. The armed services were inadequately trained and had little equipment. Australia's strategic assessments were deficient or inaccurate. It is against this background that the achievements and failures of the commanders are assessed in the Papua New Guinea campaigns - bloody battles fought against a determined enemy in a savagely difficult terrain. Great as these difficulties were that commanders in Papua New Guinea faced worse ones from Australia: General MacArthur, the supreme commander, ignorant of the conditions under which the troops were fighting, continually interfered with the command of General Blarney, the Australian Commander-in-Chief. He played a significant role in relieving Generals Powell and Allen of their commands. His actions were supported by the Australian Prime Minister, John Curtin, who was equally ignorant of the conditions under which the battles were being fought and who was convinced that MacArthur was always right. This book draws on material never before available, including diaries and correspondence of both civilian and military participants, to present a challenging interpretation of Australian military history that is outstandingly significant.
The pack of Autolycus »
Publication date: 1978
The tantalising title of this book derives from Shakespeare{u2019}s Autolycus, that engaging scoundrel who snapped up any 'unconsidered trifles'. A.D. Hope describes his traffic, like that of Autolycus, as being 'in sheets', and the sheets as being the results of his curiosity and speculation over many years of exploring the corners and byways of literary history. The books that aroused Hope{u2019}s curiosity range wide and far over time, from Beowulf to Kangaroo. He is, for example, intrigued by variations on the theme of Venus and Adonis as presented by Ovid, Titian and Shakespeare; he responds to the spell of Wuthering Heights and Emily Bronte and to the challenge of Tennyson{u2019}s attitude to women in The Princess; he brings a poet{u2019}s sensitivity to understanding the apocalypse of Christopher Smart. Readers who appreciate wit, intelligence, knowledge and understanding will value these essays.
"This sin and scandal": Australia's population debate, 1891-1911 »
Publication date: 1978
'This Sin and Scandal' is a study of the agitated response of some sections of the public to the sharp fall in the birth rate around 1900. Women began to take an initiative in contraception and the size of families decreased dramatically from seven children or more in 1891 to an average of four for women who began childbearing in 1911. After 1890 the birth rate fell by 50 per cent and never recovered and net immigration dried to a trickle. This fall in population growth and the economic depression alarmed some of the established interests in Australia, not only because it affected economic prospects but also because it threatened their moral certainties. Leaders of industry and commerce, doctors and clergy, reacted as if vice were rampant and contraception was ruining the moral fibre of the nation. This book analyses opinions about the peopling of Australia between 1890 and 1911 and assesses the so-called 'evidence' that was available, showing the small relation opinion bore to the evidence. It discusses the 1903 New South Wales Royal Commission on the Decline of the Birth Rate which it shows to have been far more an ideological exercise than a rational inquiry. 'This Sin and Scandal', though an important source of new insight for students of Australian political, social and economic history, will appeal also to the lay reader. It is wittily written with a dry humour and recalls vividly the 'populate or perish' scares of the past - and, to judge from recent political utterances, perhaps of the near future.
