Cooking with pure ingredients: family recipes for the hyperactive »
Publication date: 1979
Diet as a means of controlling a hyperactive child is a matter of often heated controversy. For some children its effects are dramatic. Ann Tydeman is the mother of a hyperactive child and by the time her son was two years old she was on the brink of despair. At her doctor's suggestion she tried a strict diet which eliminated all foods thought to aggravate hyperactivity. After four days her baby's behaviour improved almost miraculously. Nonetheless, she has sensibly included a note of advice on the need for individual requirements. In this book the recipes contain no artificial colourings or flavours - a bonus, also, for those concerned about adulteration by artificial additives in modern foods. These recipes are appetising, simple to prepare, and appealing to all members of the family. They obviate the need to prepare a special diet and are designed to meet all needs, from a snack to a party. These tasty recipes will be welcomed by all those who prefer an alternative life style; they will be a blessing for many parents of hyperactive children.
Industrial awakening: a geography of Australian manufacturing, 1788-1890 »
Publication date: 1979
Industrial Awakening is a remarkable story of the way manufacturing in a new and remote country pulled itself up by the bootstraps and became enmeshed in changing world commerce and technology. During the first hundred years of European settlement in Australia, a wide range of circumstances influenced the development and location of manufacturing. Many of the issues being debated today about the role of manufacturing in the Australian economy are remarkably familiar to those who read this account of the quarrels of the past: questions of protection and tariffs, confrontations between trade unions and employers, the allocation of contracts between domestic and overseas firms, the relative quality of locally made and imported products, the plight of industry in country towns, and the competition between the colonies to attract investment. Industrial Awakening is a comprehensive account of the development and geography of manufacturing, widely and graphically illustrated and with valuable statistical tables. Much of industrial development in Australia was circumstantial: the line between success and failure was often a very fine one. Sometimes a step forward depended on the right man being available at the right moment, be this a perceptive politician, a broadminded bureaucrat or an enterprising employer. Sometimes, just when all the teething troubles associated with establishing a new kind of industrial activity had been overcome, the enterprise would be wiped out by a stroke of a ministerial pen or the strike of a militant union. The book represents the first fruits of a wider study by the author of the geography of Australian manufacturing to the present time, with information from archival and literary sources supplemented by first-hand investigation of industrial and mining processes.

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.
