Patrol in the Dreamtime
Discharged from National Service in the navy in the 1950s, the young Colin Macleod was bored witless as a clerk. He sought adventure as a patrol officer in the Northern Territory.From Hermannsburg, Narwietooma and the Pintubi people to Wave Hill and the Gorinji people to Bathurst Island and the Tiwi people, patrol officer Macleod did the best that he could for the dispossessed indigenous peoples. He experienced it all at first hand, the squalor of the Blacks' camps on the fringes of the big cattle stations, the limbo status of the Yellafellas, the Myalls, the prosecution of Whites who flogged Blacks, the sexual exploitation of part-Aboriginal children now known as 'the stolen generation'This is not a book by some southern academic theorist. It is a firshand report of a young worker in the field. It is always confronting, sometimes funny and sometimes shocking. This is a must read for every Australian with a conscience. It doesn't ask us to feel guilty. It asks us to help find a better way.
The Nature of Children's Well-Being
This book presents new findings that deal with different facets of the well-being of children and their relevance to the proper treatment of children. The well-being of children is considered against the background of a wide variety of legal, political, medical, educational and familial perspectives. The book addresses diverse issues from a range of disciplinary perspectives using a variety of methods. It has three major sections with the essays in each section loosely organized about a common general theme. The first section focuses on issues concerning the relation between children’s well-being and autonomy or agency. The second section deals with child well-being insofar as the limits of parental authority are concerned. The third section has a more applied orientation and addresses a variety of public policy controversies involving the interpretation of children’s well-being.
Homer on Life and Death
This book demonstrates how Homeric poetry manages to confer significance on persons and actions, interpreting the world and the lives of the people who inhabit it. Taking central themes like characterization, death, and the gods, the author argues that current ideas of the limitations of "oral poetry" are unreal, and that Homer embodies a view of the world both unique and profound.

Intentional Forgetting
Research on intentional forgetting has been conducted in various forms and under various names for at least 30 years, but until now no effort has been made to present these different perspectives in one place. Comprising both review chapters and new empirical studies, this book brings together the many research paradigms investigating intentional forgetting, thereby highlighting the commonalities that link these seemingly disparate areas of research. It serves as a "case study" of one phenomenon in memory--the intention to forget or to modify memory. Why is research on intentional forgetting important? It helps to increase the understanding of how memory functions, especially with regard to ...
