Описание: The engrossing real life story of how Queen Victorias favourite son, Prince Alfred, undertook the most ambitious Royal tour, only for Australias overwhelming joy of having the first Royal on its shores jolted by his decadent behaviour, then shocked by an attempted assassination by a man trained as a priest. The British Empires youngest and most distant outpost found itself at the epicentre of a new crime and empirical fears about the first inter-continental terrorist group, a conspiracy and a lone wolf. In a resulting reign of terror extraordinary steps were taken to safeguard security with laws on treason and sedition which even the Queen felt went too far, and the would-be assassin was hastily executed in a miscarriage of justice led by opportunistic politicians. This is an extraordinary and atmospheric weaving of the stories -- some detailed for the first time -- of royal intrigue, sexual appetite, religious bigotry, patriotic vengeance, naked ambition, national security and moral panic. They are stories of royals, immigrants, archbishops, republicans and the founding fathers of Australia and issues that remain with us today. Drawing on Royal, British and Australian archives, the compelling narrative embraces a pivotal time in the evolution of Australia, and on the 150th anniversary reveals how a minute of madness rocked the country to its foundations, with a legacy which helped shape Australias history and continues to influence and challenge us today. Revelations & insights in The Prince and the Assassin: Prince Alfreds spare heir upbringing as the chosen one and prospective King of Australia; Sexually decadent royal behaviour - An historic tour which became the model for 50 subsequent royal tours to Aust; Religious bigotry, violence and death in early Aust; How a young migrant trained and destined to be a priest became an assassin; How the biggest crime in Australia shocked, shamed, terrorised and divided the country; How Henry Parkes, founder of federation, suppressed and doctored evidence, hired private spies and criminals for political advantage; Australia suppressing civil liberties, even making it a crime of treason to discuss republicanism and to not drink a toast to the Queen; Australian Catholics accused of disloyalty and an Archbishop conspiring against the Government; Australias most sensational trial, one of injustice and vengeance for a crime not on the Empires capital list; Alfred appealing for his would-be killer to not be executed; An Australian Government accused of promoting fear for political advantage and committing treason and fraud.

Описание: This book provides a showcase for the incredibly well-preserved flight-textured tektites of southern Australia, which are the world’s finest known examples. It provides an overview of their forms and flight features, which can be expected to appear, at least in part, on any objects falling from space. Some of these specimens are so perfectly shaped that it is hard to believe that they have been buried in the recent strata of Australia for 770,000 years. It also discusses the history of the story of their incredible flight into space and return becoming widely accepted, which led to them being recognized as space travelers. Further, it describes their classical shapes and offers an explanation of how each developed. It provides collectors, meteoriticists, and museum curators with insights into the astounding forms of Australian tektites produced by hypersonic flight.

Описание: Is a multicultural approach to integration and diversity really as destructive as critics say? Have we been too quick to declare its demise?

Описание: Australias inner cities experienced an upheaval in the 1960s and 70s which left them changed forever. People from all walks of life who valued their suburbs places like Balmain, Battery Point, Carlton, Indooropilly, North Adelaide or Subiaco resisted large-scale development projects for freeways, slum clearance and mass-produced high-rise. Unlikely alliances of post-war migrants, university students and staff, construction workers and their unions, long-term residents and city workers, challenged land-grabs and inappropriate development. When the dust settled, Australian cities were different. Many suburbs kept their village qualities. Shopping strips were revived and cultures celebrated. While areas like Fitzroy or Redcliff were derided as Trendyville, the fate many American cities suffered a hollow core had been avoided. In the process, heritage conservation, party politics, and Australian assumptions about domestic life, education and lifestyle had all been transformed. This book is an in-depth examination of the causes and consequences of urban protest in a democracy. It shows how it changed the built environment as well as its participants, and resonated in many of our institutions including politics, media and multiculturalism.

Описание: The past decade has seen a period of unparalleled growth in executive remuneration. But while CEO pay exploded, shareholders looked on helplessly as some of Australia's best-known companies self-destructed. When the fall eventually came, executives were well protected. Shareholders and creditors were not so lucky.
From Telstra's enriching of Sol Trujillo to the toppling of Eddy Groves's ABC Learning Centres and the untold accounts of the billions lost by the collapsed Babcock & Brown, Allco Finance Group and MFS, Pigs at the Trough tells the story of how a generation of executives, under the supervision of well-known and respected non-executive directors, pushed all the boundaries and sometimes sailed right over them ... and got away with it.
A pacey, irreverent read but with a devastatingly serious message, Pigs at the Trough gives investors invaluable insights into how to spot the telltale signs of impending corporate collapse, and how to avoid being another victim.
