Technical change in Asian agriculture »
Publication date: 1973
The 'green revolution' has been seen as the answer to the problem of matching growth of food production with that of population. In spite of the importance of this problem, however, surprisingly few hard facts are available. This book is one of the first authoritative assessments of the spread and impact in Asia of the new agricultural technology. It provides vital data and probes their significance for the farmers and the economies of the region. Many of the book's authors are well known for their contribution to this field and their findings will be of major interest to policy makers introducing and evaluating new techniques, to those involved in channelling agricultural aid, and to all concerned with the possible global significance of the new technology. In Agricultural Development in Asia (ANUP, Canberra, 1969) a group of experts under Dr Shand's editorship laid a basis for understanding of development up to the time of introduction of the new technology. Technical Change in Asian Agriculture builds on that basis with field-level assessment of the progress of the new technology anid with consideration of its actual or potential secondary repercussions.
Land between two laws: early European land acquisitions in New Guinea. »
Publication date: 1973
This book penetrates the facade of colonial law to consider European land acquisitions in the context of a complex historical process. Its context is land, but it is fundamentally a legal study of the problems arising out of the dichotomy between traditional New Guinea law and imposed Prussian law. Though these problems arose out of events that took place more than fifty years ago, they are of immediate relevance for New Guinea in the 1970s. They are mostly still unsolved and are only now emerging from under the layers of political compromise that have concealed them. Dr Sack emphasises the differences between traditional and introduced law in New Guinea in order to investigate the chances of a synthesis between them. He offers no panacea, but points up clearly the tasks which must be accomplished before the 'land between two laws' can become a truly independent state. This is an essential work for anthropologists, lawyers and all those concerned with the emergence of a stable, unified Papua New Guinea.
China in Burma's foreign policy »
Publication date: 1973
Few of the smaller nations today, particularly in south-east Asia, have succeeded in remaining unaligned with one or other of the great powers. Burma is one th at has. This paper traces the course of Burma{u2019}s foreign policy towards China since World War II. It shows how, though at times relations have been strained as during the anti-Chinese riots, Burma has succeeded in maintaining amicable relations with China without committing herself to the Chinese camp. Though China dominates Burma{u2019}s foreign policy, she has not succeeded in making Burma merely a satellite state wholly dictated to by the Chinese regime.
Proceedings of the Symposium on Nature Conservation in the Pacific of the Twelfth Pacific Science Congress held in Canberra, Australia, 18 August to 3 September 1971 »
Publication date: 1973
From at least the time man first controlled fire he has made use of land and water, plants and animals, and has encroached on the natural balance of his universe. Now increases in population and developments in technology threaten that balance, and there is a special urgency to define the problems of nature conservation and to find solutions to them. This book is a stocktaking of the natural resources of the Pacific region, resources subject to competing demands. To establish their most effective use thus requires evaluation in social and scientific, economic and political terms. The authors of this book include some of the world's leading experts in nature conservation and related resource-use problems. The problems they write about - conservation in relation to other uses, fauna conservation in relation to flora conservation, conservation of wide-ranging groups, conservation on oceanic and offshore islands, restoration after mining- and the solutions they suggest are of fundamental and challenging importance.
Civilising capitalism: the Labor movement in New South Wales 1870-1900 »
Publication date: 1973
This book narrates and analyses the vital role of the trade unions of New South Wales, centred on the Trades and Labor Council, between 1870 and 1891, when they formed the parliamentary Labor Party. The author argues that the Labor movement was an integral social institution and successfully kept capitalism in check for a generation; but, at the beginning of the momentous 1890s, the unions found a triumphant capitalism beginning to lurch out of control. The problem for Labor then was to civilise capitalism, and as its means it established the Labor Party. Extraordinary electoral success in 1891 was immediately followed by troubles that would have destroyed a shallow-rooted political group. But the Labor Party survived, not least because it was a new kind of party, with a firm organisation outside parliament and a permanent program for progress, in great contrast with existing unstable parliamentary sects. The New South Wales Labor Party was the catalyst for the formation of modern political parties in Australia, but it belonged to its society and had to struggle to maintain its identity as it accomplished its reforming mission. In 1894-5, Labor formed a tacit partnership with the premier George Reid, and ushered in a hectic period in which New South Wales not only had its politics and society modernised, but was also prepared for Federation. In 1899 Labor asserted its autonomy by deposing Reid, and so began a new reform era. Bede Nairn{u2019}s scholarship, understanding and skill as a writer make this book an outstanding contribution to the history of Australian politics, social reform, parliamentary systems and nineteenth century New South Wales.
Aboriginal health »
Publication date: 1973
From this study of Aboriginal health a depressing picture emerges. The death rate for Aborigines from almost all causes, and the incidence of communicable disease, is much higher than for white Australians. Much of Aboriginal ill-health is directly associated with poverty and poor living conditions - and therefore hygiene - and with malnutrition, particularly among the children. On health grounds alone, the Aborigines are shown to be severely handicapped in almost every aspect relative to white Australians, and to other indigenous minorities such as the Maoris and the American Indians. Though it is recognised that an Aboriginal 'health problem' exists and a good deal of factual material has been collected, no systematic survey of the available data has ever been made. If the problem is to be solved, the available knowledge must be collated and interrelated. That is the aim of this study. The book covers a wide range of diseases and patterns and causes of death among Aborigines and part-Aborigines throughout Australia; it shows many gaps in knowledge, in particular the lack of ordered statistics with which those concerned with Aboriginal health must contend. The problem of Aboriginal health will not be solved quickly, but Dr Moodie{u2019}s work, and the suggestions he makes, provide a basis on which future policy may be developed. This book is essential reading for all concerned with the quality of life in Australia and with the plight of the Aborigines.
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.
