Taking the Best from Two Cultures
Melina Marchetta discusses her first novel Looking for Alibrandi. She acknowledges that the book is written out of her own background and experiences in Sydney's multi-cultural inner west but stresses that the novel is not a straight-forward autobiography. (SRS code 035).
Russia in the Wake of the Cold War
Amid widespread and increasing alarm in Western strategic and foreign policy circles following Russia's capture of Crimea, support for rebels in Ukraine, and military intervention in Syria, this study provides a timely and sophisticated analysis of the nature and intentions of post-Soviet government under President Vladimir Putin. Based on both Russian and non-Russian sources, this book examines the enduring Cold War legacies underpinning Western perceptions of contemporary Russia. It analyzes the ways in which the West has interpreted and reacted to Russia's domestic authoritarianism and foreign policy behavior and argues for diplomatic engagement based on liberal pluralism.
Canberra Tales
'This book is a collective effort. In 1980 some of the writers met for the first time to form a writers' group. The group, "Seven Writers", now flourishes and gives each member the necessary support and critical encouragement to develop her own and the others' work. When the group formed no one had published more than a few short stories or poems.' -- From the Introduction to Canberra Tales, first published in 1988 and reissued in 1995 as The Division of Love.Canberra Tales offers an authentic taste of life in the nation's capital during the 1980s, as well as the work of each of its members: Marion Halligan, Dorothy Johnston, Margaret Barbalet, Sara Dowse, Suzanne Edgar, Marian Eldridge and Dorothy Horsfield. Between them they went on to produce works that have received critical acclaim and won or were shortlisted for multiple prestigious awards. Marion Halligan, Sara Dowse and Margaret Barbalet all have other books in the Untapped Collection.

The stories cover a wide range of experiences including a man's strange pact with his dying daughter and sadism which erupts out of the commonplaces of a broken marriage. Between the authors they have published seven books.
