    Schools to grow in : an evaluation of secondary colleges

    Following a public inquiry and evidence of widespread student disaffection with schooling, the traditional 6-year secondary schools in the Australian Capital Territory were replaced with 4-year high schools and secondary colleges for students in the two senior years.

    The Gundaroo pony

    This is the story of a little girl and her pony. Dianne lives with her parents in the historic village of Gundaroo. One Christmas they called her outside and there was a little grey pony. Dianne could not think of a name that suited him, so she called him No Name. Dianne soon learned to saddle and bridle him herself and they had many happy rides together.

    The Holocaust in historical perspective

    Between 1941 and 1945, the Nazi regime embarked on a deliberate policy of mass murder that resulted in the deaths of nearly six million Jews. What the Nazis attempted was nothing less than the total physical annihilation of the Jewish people. This unprecedented atrocity has come to be known as the Holocaust. In this series of four essays, a distinguished historian brings the central issues of the holocaust to the attention of the general reader. The result is a well-informed, forceful, and eloquent work, a major contribution to Holocaust historiography.

This book examines the policy problems with which the minerals and energy sector confronts Australian governments - such as taxation, environment protection, Aboriginal land rights, foreign investment, the development of an integrated energy policy, the encouragement of local processing of minerals before export, and the role of government.
