An architect of freedom: John Hubert Plunkett in New South Wales, 1832-1869 »
Publication date: 1973
Irish-born John Hubert Plunkett, descendant of an ancient family and a Trinity College-trained lawyer, came to New South Wales in 1832 to take up the position of Solicitor-General. A quiet, cultivated man, and a Roman Catholic, he was an incongruous figure in the hurly-burly of colonial life. He was an idealist, a man of determination and integrity, a liberal before his time. In the fields of law, government, and education, and particularly as Attorney-General from 1836 to 1856, he played a vital role in the transition period that saw New South Wales shaking free from its penal past and developing into a free society. An Architect of Freedom is more than the study of one man. It is a scholarly and readable account of a so-far much neglected period of colonial history, invaluable to the student of political and social history, and to the lawyer, and fascinating reading for the layman.

Ulysses bound: Henry Handel Richardson and her fiction »
Publication date: 1973
Henry Handel Richardson (Ethel Florence Lindesay Richardson) is one of the most important novelists Australia has produced, though her achievements cannot be measured in terms of quantity. Maurice Guest, The Getting of Wisdom, the three books of The Fortunes of Richard Mahony, The Young Cosima, and some short stories make up her published fiction. She has been criticised as a mere chronicler of facts. On the contrary, as this book shows, she was an imaginative writer who, working within the European literary tradition, created an autonomous world. This is the first full-length study of Henry Handel Richardson since 1950, and the first to include a serious study of her short stories. The work is not a biography. It is an interpretative study of the fiction and its genesis in the life and temperament of the author. It is also an attempt to show how artistic virtue arose from psychological necessity. The book was undertaken to clear away some serious misconceptions which have been allowed in recent years to diminish Henry Handel Richardson{u2019}s reputation as an. artist. It sets out also to provide a firm factual base from which' to reassess her achievement. This is an important book for students of literature and for historians, but it will find a wider audience amongst admirers of the novels and observers of human nature.
Hobart Town »
Publication date: 1973
This book gives a lively account of the growth of the city of Hobart from its earliest days as a convict settlement to a metropolis with wide streets and fine buildings. It is the story both of the city and of the people who built the city, its saints and sinners, its rich and its poor: the Franklins, who inspired the cultural life of the town; Farrell, who could not keep out of gaol; Henry Propsting, the goose-stealer who made good through chapel and charitable society. The transformation of the convict settlement to Hobart, capital of the flourishing island state of Tasmania, is paralleled in the lives of its people. Their lives have proved false the old belief in an ineradicable strain of villainy in convict blood, incapable of redemption. As this book shows, the people now have cause to be proud of their forefathers, both bound and free, who built for them a rich heritage from unpromising beginnings. This is a fascinating study of past generations, their foibles, failures and successes, perhaps above all their courage and determination.

Direct foreign investment in Asia and the Pacific »
Publication date: 1972
This volume appears at a time when there is tremendous interest in direct investment of one country in the industry of another. It brings together papers by leading economists from North America, Australia and Asia, and provides an excellent introduction to this currently important economic issue. The contributions include original and comprehensive surveys of experience with, and policies towards, direct foreign investment in the Asian-Pacific region. Of particular interest are the discussion of investment within and from Japan and the synthesis of studies on North America, Australia, and the developing Asian countries. The book is a valuable guide for policymakers and businessmen, and should serve as an essential text for students of foreign investment. General readers will find answers here to many questions on the economics of countries which encourage foreign investment or invest considerably outside their own shores.
Paradigm for Revolution?: the Paris commune, 1871-1971 »
Publication date: 1972
In March 1871, in the aftermath of France's humiliating defeat in the Franco-Prussian War, the workers, radicals, and 'little people' of Paris rose in revolt. The rebels saw themselves as heirs to a great French revolutionary and Parisian tradition, carriers of the demand for popular initiative and popular participation. They were republican, anti-clerical, and, to a large extent, socialist. The Commune of Paris which they proclaimed on 26 March 1871 was dedicated to these principles and beliefs. It has been seen, by some, as the paradigm for the dictatorship of the proletariat and the coming socialist regeneration of mankind. One hundred years after these events, a series of lectures was organised at the Australian National University to consider the meaning of the Paris Commune and its relevance for modern revolutionary theories and hopes. The lectures have been collected here, together with a detailed chronology of the events of the Commune. The collection is of vital interest to students of history and of revolutions, for, in recounting the events of the Paris Commune, it endeavours to assess its significance in world history. It seeks to determine whether the Commune was a unique event in the history of France - or Paris - or a symbolic rehearsal for a future social revolution.
Impact of uncertainty on location »
Publication date: 1972
Until now, the effects of uncertainty on location patterns have remained largely unexplored. Theories about the way in which firms make decisions to locate have long been restricted by the assumption that those firms know all the relevant facts when the decisions are made. This book is an attempt to generalise location theory to take account of the fact that firms are uncertain when they make their decisions. Among the topics discussed are the location of duopolists, the patterns of towns, the production decisions of firms, and the impact of the diffusion of innovations on location. The emphasis is theoretical rather than empirical. The book contains a collection of largely independent models which need now to be more fully tested and combined into a mathematical theory. This is an extremely important book for geographers and regional scientists. It should become a standard work for all advanced university courses in location theory.
Economic fluctuations in Australia, 1948 to 1964 »
Publication date: 1972
In November 1960 the Australian Government brought in emergency economic measures to avert a balance of payments crisis. The stock market collapsed, unemployment rose sharply, and for the two next years there were signs of recession. The episode has been described as Australia{u2019}s {u2018}first independent slump{u2019}, and the government was strongly criticised. Dr Waterman was deeply sceptical of the explanations put forward at the time, some of which have passed into folklore, and began a detailed investigation into the sources and history of the 1961 recession. This work led to an exhaustive statistical and analytical study of economic fluctuations in Australia since World War II, of which this book is the outcome. The author{u2019}s findings will upset many widely held opinions regarding the performance of the Australian economy in this period. The 1961 recession, for example, was less serious than that of 1952-3, which passed almost unnoticed, and the effects of the Commonwealth Government{u2019}s austerity measures in 1951, 1956, and 1960 were much smaller than is commonly supposed; nor does there appear to be any evidence for the view that, since World War II, Australia has developed an {u2018}independent{u2019} economy in the sense of obtaining immunity from economic disturbances originating in the outside world. This book will be essential reading for all students of the Australian economy and for those interested in the role of government in dealing with the interrelated problems of the balance of payments, employment, and inflation.
The philosophical letters of Wang Yang-ming »
Publication date: 1972
Wang Yang-ming (1472-1529) was a Neo-Confucian philosopher of the Ming Era, whose thoughts have had a profound influence in China, Japan, Korea, and Vietnam. But, although there has been a wealth of material published in Chinese and Japanese on his life and philosophy, the English-language world has only two previous translations of Wang Yang-ming{u2019}s selected writings. This translation contains sixty-seven letters, thirty-one more than previously translated, which help reveal the philosophy of the great Chinese thinker. Included are a preface with background information, critical annotations and references, bibliography, and a glossary of Chinese and Japanese words. The book is an important contribution to the literature of Chinese philosophy, knowledge of which assists our understanding of China yesterday and today.
Sinews of sectarian warfare?: State aid in New South Wales, 1836-1862 »
Publication date: 1972
Controversy over government financial support of religion is not new. Though the issue of aid to the clergy is dead, that of aid to denominational schools is still a subject of sometimes heated discussion. In the years between 1836, when the Church Act introduced state aid to the Colony of New South Wales, and 1862 when, after widespread agitation, aid was abolished by the Grants for Public Worship Prohibition Act, a large proportion of the Colony's population was embroiled in dispute. In this book, Dr Turner examines the arguments for and against state aid, taking the theme that the 1862 Act was a natural development from the pressures inherent in the 1836 Act. Although the Anglican Church{u2019}s monopoly was broken by the latter Act, the ideal of parity for all denominations, derived from the colonists{u2019} demands for equality and justice, was never achieved. Sinews of Sectarian Warfare makes a significant contribution to an understanding of the relationship of the state to the social, religious, and political events of the time and will be of particular value to historians of the period. But because the events, and the controversy that surrounded them, still influence all Australians, this book should be read if the issues involved in the current state aid debate are to be fully understood and appreciated.
The development of Soviet strategic thinking since 1945 »
Publication date: 1972
Soviet policies, like the policies of most other countries, are shaped by outside events as much as by internal happenings, and are sometimes affected by the conflicting aspirations of political and military leaders. Mr Jukes shows how Soviet strategic ideas have changed at various times since the war and demonstrates the flexibility of Soviet thinking. He also suggests ways in which Soviet strategy may develop. This paper fills a gap in the literature by providing a brief outline of the subject and illustrates the sources that are available.
Future Australians: immigrant children in Perth, Western Australia »
Publication date: 1972
No immigrant of any age finds easy the process of assimilation to a new homeland. The children of immigrants face the same problems as their parents: the often conflicting forces of the cultures of their adopted land and of their native land, but for the children the conflict is greater. Often they wish to become fully assimilated, but their parents insist on their ethnic culture being maintained. Dr Johnston studied three ethnic groups in Perth- Polish, German, and British, with an Australian control group- to see how the immigrant children reacted to these conflicting cultural values. Her findings make revealing reading, not only on the degree of assimilation of each group but also on the reactions of Australian parents and children to the immigrants and the way in which the Australian community has been changed by the newcomers. This book disproves some widely held assumptions and throws new light on many aspects of assimilation. Of value to sociologists, psychologists, and linguists, it is nevertheless written for the immigrants themselves and for all concerned with a society in the making.
Urban aborigines »
Publication date: 1972
This book concerns the re-entry of Aborigines into Australian life - specifically the life of urban Adelaide - after generations of restriction to isolated rural areas. Aborigines are moving into Australian cities in increasing numbers - in 1957 one in sixteen of South Australia's Aborigines lived in Adelaide, by 1966 one in four did so. Some adjust easily to city life, others face seemingly insoluble problems of housing and employment, social tensions, health and welfare, education and law. Often their experience on reserves and the fringes of small towns has in no way prepared them for urban life. The physical confrontation involved in this re-entry is already leading to legislative and social changes for Aborigines. It is beginning to arouse public conscience about Aboriginal conditions, and the voice of the Aboriginal is beginning to be heard. This study is a representative picture of Aborigines in Australian cities today, and it speaks for the future of Australia, black and white.
Talking with China: the Australian Labor Party visit and Peking's foreign policy »
Publication date: 1972
In 1971 the Australian Labor Party sought and received an invitation to visit the People's Republic of China, a country it has long been A.L.P. policy to recognise. The purpose of the visit was to explore matters of common interest. This paper does more than record the A.L.P.'s visit and the discussions in Peking. It sets the visit in the context of Australia's policy towards China (an issue in domestic politics since 1949) and of China's foreign policy and the aims and conduct of Chinese diplomacy. Rarely has there been intelligent debate in Australia on foreign policy, particularly vis-a-vis China, a country about which many Australians are ill-informed. This timely paper is a serious contribution to an important and controversial debate. It will arouse widespread interest.
The Southern expansion of the Chinese people: "Southern fields and Southern Ocean." »
Publication date: 1972
Chinese influence, culture and power have always moved southward since the first age of which we have reliable historical evidence. In this book Professor FitzGerald tells the story of this southward expansion, both in the lands most directly affected by it - Yunnan which ended as a province of China, and Vietnam, north and south, which was once within the Empire, but has not been so since the end of the T'ang Dynasty - and in the further countries of Laos, Cambodia, Thailand and Burma, which all to varying degrees came under the influence and acknowledged the power of China. Beyond these countries were others, Malaya, Java, Sumatra and Borneo, which experienced Chinese influence, and sometimes her power, but which have not owed allegiance to China for several centuries. Although the territorial southward expansion of China ended with the rise of the Manchu Dynasty in 1664, and her political influence in South-East Asia then declined - due partly to the decline of Chinese seapower and partly to the arrival of European imperialist powers - there followed the massive migration of the individual Chinese, which resulted in the large minorities of Chinese in many South-East Asian countries today. In the second part of his book Professor FitzGerald examines the cultural, economic and political effects of this migration on the countries concerned and its implications for the future. He convincingly challenges the view, widely held in the West, that the Chinese population in South-East Asia are a potential 'fifth column' for Mao Tse-Tung. While disclaiming the role of prophet, he cogently presents the historical facts that need to be taken into account in any assessment of the probable future of the area.

The budget and the plan in China: central-local economic relations »
Publication date: 1972
In a country as vast as China, and one with provinces long accustomed to autonomy, each with its own sense of identity, a strong national government is essential for effective national economic planning. But with increasingly complex planning, Maoist views on bureaucracy, the growth of local interests during the Great Leap Forward, and the problems that arose from the Soviet withdrawal of aid and the agricultural disasters of 1959-61, there has been a steady diminution of central revenues at the same time as the centre has the responsibility for the large and inflexible item of defence expenditure. This timely and cogent monograph examines, with interesting historical parallels, the changes that took place in the relative economic powers of the central and local authorities in the period after the First Five Year Plan and their consequences for national economic planning.

One father, one blood: descent and group structure among the Melpa people »
Publication date: 1972
The Mount Hagen people of the New Guinea Highlands have no indigenous centralised authority. They have, nonetheless, clear patterns of social order and leadership. The problem of how order is achieved in such societies has exercised anthropologists since the 1940s. It is also one of considerable relevance to New Guinea as it is emerging today. This study builds its case not only on the descent characteristics which have been stressed in African models of uncentralised societies but also on the activities of the {u2018}big-men{u2019} and the specific ideologies of the Hageners. It analyses the symbols they employ to describe their formal groups and concludes that, so far as they have a patrilineal ideology, it asserts group identity and solidarity rather than prescribing recruitment of followers. The work also examines the role of the big-men in promulgating these assertions and equally in recruiting non-patrilineal followers or even ejecting patrilineal ones who come into conflict with group interests. For those interested in social control in uncentralised societies, Melanesian ethnography, or kinship, this book will provide a provocative analysis of descent and group structure in a New Guinea Highlands people and will serve as a pointer to further research in social change in the Highlands.
