Taking a multifaceted approach to attitudes toward race through popular culture and the American superhero, All New, All Different? explores a topic that until now has only received more discrete examination. Considering Marvel, DC, and lesser-known texts and heroes, this illuminating work charts eighty years of evolution in the portrayal of race in comics as well as in film and on television. Beginning with World War II, the authors trace the vexed depictions in early superhero stories, considering both Asian villains and nonwhite sidekicks.

Winner of the ACT Book of the Year Award Shortlisted for the Ernest Scott Prize and CHASS Australia Prize It was the era of Hawke and Keating, Kylie and INXS, the America's Cup and the Bicentenary. It was perhaps the most controversial decade in Australian history, with high-flying entrepreneurs booming and busting, torrid debates over land rights and immigration, the advent of AIDS, a harsh recession and the rise of the New Right. It was a time when Australians fought for social change - on union picket lines, at rallies for women's rights and against nuclear weapons, and as part of a new environmental movement. And then there were the events that left many scratching their heads- Joh for Canberra . . . the Australia Card . . . Cliff Young. In The Eighties, Frank Bongiorno brings all this and more to life. He sheds new light on 'both the ordinary and extraordinary things that happened to Australia and Australians during this liveliest of decades'. 'The definitive account of an inspired, infuriating decade' - George Megalogenis 'A very impressive achievement' - The Monthly 'Meaty and entertaining' - The Australian
Purpose & Practice lays out tools of incalculable value to anyone interested in getting really good at what they do, whatever that may be. These are tools, some little known, of mental approach from the art, science and philosophy of Aikido. This book reveals some revolutionary ideas behind the art and the links between its extraordinary physical results and practices of "Mind", all of which adds up to a blueprint as applicable to organisations as it is for individuals. Aikido is often justifiably seen as one of the most impenetrable martial arts, largely because people so often experience it, even for many years, without knowing some of its core elements, which have all too often been forgotten, obscured or unknown. Purpose & Practice is a challenging book that fills in some of these essential gaps while helping the reader accelerate his or her progress and development.
