Barbarians, gentlemen and players: a sociological study of the development of rugby football »
Publication date: 1979
Rugby football is descended from the winter 'folk games' which were a deeply rooted tradition in pre-industrial Britain. This is the first book to study the development of Rugby from this folk tradition to the game in its modern 'Union' and 'League' forms. The folk forms of football were extremely violent and serious injuries - even death - were a common feature. The game was refined in the public schools who played a crucial role in formulating rules which required footballers to exercise greater self-control. With the spread of Rugby into the wider society, a national rule- making body, the Rugby Football Union, was founded but class tensions led to the split between Rugby Union and Rugby League. These same class tensions - public schools and amateurism as against Rugby League and professionalism - may be seen to exist in Australia. The authors examine the changes in Rugby Union from a 'player-centred' to a 'spectator-centred' form of amateurism and discuss the effect of the {u2018}Australian dispensation' in this context. The increasing extent of 'football hooliganism' is dealt with in the concluding part of this valuable study which will interest all serious followers of both branches of Rugby in Australia.

The economics of natural disaster relief in Australia »
Publication date: 1979
This monograph analyses two specific issues relating to natural disaster relief. First, the assignment of responsibility for natural disaster relief in a federal system is discussed and applied in an Australian context to determine how natural disaster payments affect vertical and horizontal balance. Secondly, attention is focused on the payments to Queensland following the widespread flooding that occurred in 1973-74. This second issue is concerned with evaluating the criteria that were attached as conditions of the specific purpose grant and were used to distribute natural disaster relief to individuals. These criteria are evaluated by reference to the twin notions of horizontal and vertical equity in the public finance literature on taxation. It is found that the criteria were inequitable in that persons in equal economic positions were treated unequally and that persons in unequal economic positions were treated equally. The monograph concludes with an outline of a scheme for natural disaster relief which incorpor ates the notions of horizontal and vertical equity.
Native gardens in Canberra »
Publication date: 1979
Growing native plants, whether by themselves or mixed with exotics, is becoming increasingly popular. A wide range of species can be grown in Canberra and this book tells you how to grow them. Mr Butlers sensible advice dismisses many of the myths about their needs and cultivation and gives much practical information. Mr Butler's work at the National Botanic Gardens in Canberra has given him a unique opportunity to study the growth of native plants in Canberra{u2019}s climate and to pass on this knowledge to the reader.
Deviance, terrorism & war: the process of solving unsolved social and political problems »
Publication date: 1979
Unsolved social and political problems exist at all levels of interaction: in the family, the school, industry, inter-communal relations and inter-state relations. Evidence of unsolved problems are war, revolution, hijacking, murder, assault, destruction of property and others. This book focusses on the common features of these problems and suggests processes for solving them that apply at all levels. After distinguishing between problem-solving and decision-making, Dr. Burton argues that problems not solved within a particular system of thought may require a fundamentally different approach. He critically analyses the hidden assumptions underlying classical and conventional thinking and considers various alternatives. A distinction is made between individual values and human needs that are not merely universal, but which are a necessary pre-condition to a harmonious social organisation. These are used to develop an alternative paradigm which includes problem solving processes as a means of handling situations as well as of analysing them. In conclusion, the author draws the strands together and relates the analysis to the practical realities of unsolved problems.
Deo, ecclesiae, patriae: fifty year of Canberra Grammar School »
Publication date: 1979
The Canberra Grammar School celebrates its Golden Jubilee in 1979. It was decided, as part of the School's Jubilee celebrations, to produce this book of memoirs covering the period from 1929 to 1959 and including the recollections of Old Boys and people specially connected with the School. Mrs Jill Pulford, daughter of the late Dr W.J. Edwards, the first Headmaster, tells of the early days and the difficulties encountered in establishing the School. Others such as the Honourable Wal Fife and the Reverend T.H. Timpson, who was Senior Master at the time, throw further light on the first Headmaster's period in office. Bishop Clements, whose contact with Canberra Grammar School began when he was appointed to the staff and ended when he retired as Bishop of Canberra and Goulburn and Chairman of the School's Board of Management, writes of the School's growth from several points of view. Bishop Garnsey, the second Headmaster from 1948 to 1958, carried on the development of the School after the war through a time of great difficulty; he writes of that decade with insight. He handed on to an Old Boy of the School, P.J. McKeown, who had been teaching at Timbertop in the early days of that experiment. Several Old Boys, Nicolas Hasluck, writer and former Deputy Chairman of the Australia Council, and Paul Murphy of the ABC, describe this time of transition. Professor J.D.B. Miller, who has been a member of the School{u2019}s governing body, writes of his contact with the School as parent and Governor and sketches his hopes for the future of the School. An historical outline lists the main events and achievements during the first fifty years of the School, and appendixes set out the growth of the School in financial terms as well as in numbers of students and staff. The present Headmaster, Mr P.J. McKeown, has edited the volume and written the Preface. It will be of interest to all students, parents and teachers connected with the School over the years, as well as those who are interested in the development of independent schools in Australia.

Cook's voyages and peoples of the Pacific »
Publication date: 1979
Two hundred years ago Captain James Cook revealed to Europe the world of the Pacific. In three great voyages made in the short span of eleven years he explored the ocean from the Antarctic, through the islands of Polynesia and Melanesia, to the north-west coast of America, Alaska and the Arctic. A small isolated group of voyagers, half the world away from home, found its way to and fro across the vastness of the South Sea (as the Pacific was also known) coming across new lands and peoples as they went. Much has been written about the history of Cook{u2019}s voyages in terms of geography and chronology; the purpose of this book, written to coincide with the bicentenary of Cook{u2019}s death on Hawaii on 14 February 1779, is to describe the impact which Cook made on some of the peoples which he encountered, and the impression which they made on him and his companions. The illustrations nearly all represent drawings, objects, etc., directly connected with the voyages, in an attempt to recapture the experience of the initial encounters. In the first chapter the background and chronology of the voyages is sketched; the succeeding chapters, each written by an expert in the field, deal with four of the most important cultures encountered by Cook: those of the Society Islands, the Maori of New Zealand, the Nootka of Vancouver Island, and of Hawaii. A final chapter by Dr Helen Wallis sums up the cultural achievement and consequences of the enterprise.
Captain Cook and the South Pacific »
Publication date: 1979
Volume 3 of the Yearbook is devoted to matters relating to the voyages of Captain James Cook (1728-79), the bicentenary of whose death in Hawaii falls on 14 February 1979. His three voyages of Pacific exploration, in the Endeavour (1768-71) and the Resolution (1772-75, 1776-80), the last one completed after his death, established for him a reputation as one of the greatest explorers of all time. Cook was accompanied on his first voyage by a young botanist named Joseph Banks, who took with him a private staff of scientists and draughtsmen, and in the first paper Dr A. M. Lysaght deals with these draughtsmen, many of whose drawings are preserved in the British Library. A Tahitian native named Omai returned to England with Cook's second expedition, and a paper by Dr R. Joppien, discusses a pantomime based on his life, which was staged in London at that time. Cook and his companions found nearly all of the islands of the South Pacific to be inhabited, and the theorizing about how the natives came to be there is examined in a paper by Dr B. Durrans. The last two papers, by Dr A. L. Kaeppler and Professor D. Waite, attempt to identify some of the artefacts collected in the South Seas by participants in Cook's voyages, which are now in the collections of the British Museum. In Cook's own lifetime, in 1777, Daniel Wray wrote that he, Cook, 'will go down to posterity as one of our principal discoverers'; two hundred years after his death it is still true. The five papers gathered together here illustrate and evoke much of the impact that Cook and his voyages made on the eighteenth century.

White man got no dreaming: essays 1938-1973 »
Publication date: 1979
This book looks at 'the Aboriginal problem' from an unusual viewpoint - that of the Aborigines themselves, for whom 'the Aboriginal problem is the white Australian'. The essays deal with all those features of traditional Aboriginal life that made it so deeply satisfying to the original Australians: religion, attachment to land, imaginative culture, and the whole ethos on which the impact of Europeans and their way of life has been destructive. The Aborigines have been dispossessed, exploited, rejected and on occasions reviled. What we now offer them is, from an Aboriginal point of view, neither true recompense nor equality. The author argues that race relations will deteriorate even farther than the neuralgic point to which our ethnocentric insensibility has already brought them unless white Australians make an effort to comprehend the Aboriginal truths of life.
The people's health, 1830-1910 »
Publication date: 1979
The patient has been much neglected by medical historians: most medical history has been compiled by medically-trained men and published only for medical men. This social history of health and ill-health in Britain is conceived on a wider, more questioning scale than standard medical history. The survey ranges from maternal mortality to the management of the old and infirm, and hinges upon measuring the benefit accruing from the huge investment in the medical profession and sanitary improvement. It is shown, in answer to the cost-benefit question that, apart from vaccination against smallpox, and anesthesia and antisepsis after 1880, medical science had little impact upon the health and life chances of nineteenth-century people. Improved nutrition, better housing and working conditions probably achieved a great deal more. Similarly, despite a large investment in lying-in hospitals and obstetric training for doctors, maternal and infant mortality rates remained at an appallingly high level until the first decade of this century. Sanitary development has also been too readily accepted as lowering the death and morbidity rates. This study shows that piped water and sewerage systems came to wealthy suburbs a generation before they were introduced among the poor. Indeed, the channelling of the refuse of the rich into the rivers which supplied water for the poor may have maintained the high typhoid, cholera, diphtheria and gastro-enteritis rates among the latter.
Field guide to the non-marine molluscs of south eastern Australia »
Publication date: 1979
The non-marine molluscs form a significant part of the invertebrate fauna of South-eastern Australia. Several species are of economic importance, mainly pests and parasite vectors. Non-marine molluscs are also valuable as environmental indicators and are used extensively by ecologists in environmental impact studies. This field guide of non-marine molluscs is intended as a check-list and a field and laboratory identification manual to this diverse and significant group. It is intended to give a current assessment of the knowledge of this group and is the logical next step in the available literature. The book provides basic information on the study and identification of an important group of Australian animals and it is hoped that it will stimulate further research into the native fauna of this most man-modified part of Australia.
Nationalism in the twentieth century »
Publication date: 1979
Why has nationalism become one of the most powerful and widespread political forces of our century? And why has the national ideal triumphed over its rivals? In this book, Dr. Anthony Smith explores its fundamental and enduring appeal in the modern world, by systematically comparing nationalism with other ideologies like millennialism, fascism, racism and communism. Nationalism, he argues, flourishes today because of the pressures and effects of modern conditions on ancient ethnic ties and sentiments. Far from dissipating these mass sentiments, as one might have expected, modern bureaucracy, science and internationalism have only inflamed them, causing many to protest against their impersonal rationalism. At the same time, nationalism is revealed as an infinitely flexible and adaptable political movement. Unlike communism, racism or fascism, it is not tied to specific dogmas, classes, periods or countries. Nationalism can accommodate itself to the most diverse social backgrounds and contrasting environments, and appear as their natural outgrowth. Everywhere its propagators among the intelligentsia have used it to secure the often passionate, but always enduring, support of different classes among their compatriots. So varied in its forms, so easy to identify with the tasks of modernisation, and so indispensable as an instrument for mobilising all kinds of people, nationalism can frequently absorb rival movements like communism or racism, without losing its basic vision or profoundly practical momentum. Hence it is unlikely to wither away. Even in the heavily industrialised states of the West with their well-educated citizenry, ethnic nationalism has recently experienced a resurgence. Having overcome the challenges of communism and fascism in our century to a very considerable extent, nationalism today is built into the fabric of the international order. Both in the West and in the developing countries, the national ideal is likely to command men{u2019}s loyalties for the foreseeable future.
Social organization in Aboriginal Australia »
Publication date: 1979
This book focuses on kinship and affinity, important aspects of Aboriginal social organization which the author claims have not been satisfactorily explained in the literature. He illustrates his arguments with data on the social life of the Aboriginal peoples of north-eastern Arnhem Land and elsewhere. Professor Shapiro challenges the theories of some of the established authorities, and argues that some dicta are distorted: the character of four- and eight-class systems; the alleged isomorphism between kin-classification and social behaviour; the imaginary notion of Aboriginal corporate descent groups; and several others. This book will arouse controversy among anthropologists and prove of interest to the general reader as well.
Biographical register of the New South Wales parliament 1901-1970 »
Publication date: 1979
This book, the sixth in the series Australian Parliaments: Biographical Notes, fills an important gap in biographical reference aids, which in Australia are notoriously inadequate. It includes entries for all members of the Legislative Assembly and of the Legislative Council between July 1901 and December 1970 and includes information up to and including the election in October 1978. Each entry gives a comprehensive account of the member{u2019}s career - main occupation, education, details of parliamentary career and other salient facts. This will be an invaluable research tool for all concerned with New South Wales politics.
The Canberra fisherman »
Publication date: 1979
The Canberra region contains a wide variety of lakes and rivers and more than twenty species of introduced and native fish. This book describes in detail the angling resources of the region. It contains detailed descriptions of the fish, their distribution, feeding, breeding and migratory habits and the special characteristics which make many of them unique in the angling world. It is written for the estimated 70,000 Canberra anglers but is applicable to angling throughout Australia. It is designed to be enjoyed by anglers of all ages, dilettante or serious sport fishermen, naturalists, scientists, conservationists, or people who simply enjoy reading another fascinating chapter on Australia{u2019}s remarkable native and introduced aquatic wildlife.
The life and adventures of William Buckley: thirty-two years a wanderer amongst the Aborigines of the unexplored country round Port Phillip »
Publication date: 1979
In 1803, William Buckley was trans ported to Australia, and soon after landing, escaped with a number of fellow convicts into the unexplored area of what is now Melbourne. Buckley survived and spent the ensuing thirty-two years living with the aborigines of the area, and when discovered in 1835 had become entirely assimilated into aborigine culture. This book gives an account of his experi ences, as well as a nearly unique description of aborigine culture before European contact. Also included is James Morrill's Sketch of a Residence Among the Aborigines of Northern Queensland for Seventeen Years; like Buckley, Morrill spent many years living as an aborigine, and described his experiences in a pamphlet which is reprinted in this volume. These accounts should be of interest not only to students of ethnography, but also to the general reader.

Japan's last war: World War II and the Japanese, 1931-1945 »
Publication date: 1979
Japan's surrender to the Allies on 15th August 1945 ended 15 years of military adventure into China, South-East Asia and the Pacific islands. How and why Japan waged war from 1931 to 1945 and what life was like for the Japanese people are the subjects of this book. Sabur{u014D} lenaga tells English readers for the first time the Japanese story of the Second World War. This book is far more than the history of the great battles that raged from China to the remote regions of the Pacific. It is also an account of what it was like to live under an all-pervasive state system. Using popular songs, private diaries and personal letters, and drawing on his own experience, the author describes the misery of the war for the Japanese and for the peoples they conquered. He shows how a nation was educated in fanatical patriotism and the barbarism and brutality that were its consequence. Sabur{u014D} lenaga has written eloquently of the wretchedness of war, and a compassionate, but highly critical, view of a people consumed by total conflict.
