"Richards' photographs, shot in the 1960s and 1970s, offer a documentary record of four movements on the West coast: California's farm workers, the peace and civil rights movements, and forestry and the the environment"--Book dealer's description

The Estuary is Georgia Savage's third novel. Narrated in the first person by Vinnie, a young girl who falls in love and marries then loses her husband, this story of loss and tragedy is balanced with wry humour and filled with strong, powerful, though at times strange, characters. The book demonstrates a never-ending curiosity for life, despite all its ups and downs. Georgia Savage was born in Tasmania and educated at Methodist Ladies College in Launceston, where she spent much of her time writing stories under the desk. At twenty-one she married a Carlton football star, who was also a poet. With their young son they lived in various country towns until Ron sustained a severe brain injury in an industrial accident. In the 1950's when he died, Georgia went back to work but spent her lunch hours and evenings writing her first novel The Tournament. In 1980 she moved to Southport in Queensland where she wrote The Estuary. Since then three other novels and several short stories have followed.

A reference volume discussing the dynamics, mixing, sediment regimes and morphological evolution in estuaries for researchers, students and engineers.
Estuaries are highly dynamic systems subject to changes occurring over a spectrum of time scales ranging from very short periods (e. g. over a tidal cycle) to geologic time scales. The nature of an estuary reflects complex responses to many driving forces, each having a characteristic frequency (or frequencies) of change. For example, freshwater inflow to estuaries varies daily in response to short-term events such as storms, seasonally, and between years as a result of longer-term climatic variability. Other important components of weather, e. g. wind speed/ direction and daily insolation, also vary over time scales ranging from hours to years. Tidal amplitude changes continuously with domi...

Heart Songs: The Collected Poems of Nina Serrano, 1969-1980, was first published by Editorial Pocho Che, a Latino literary collective, as part of a three-book 10th anniversary series. The other two books were Raul Salinas’ now classic Un Trip through the Mind Jail y Otras Excursions and Roberto Vargas’s legendary Nicaragua Yo To Canto Besos Balas y Suenos de Libertad. Estuary Press republished it as an ebook. In those times, I was raising a family, supporting a revolution in Nicaragua and seeing its triumph, supporting the anti-Vietnam war movement, defending minority rights, as the minorities were swelling in California to today’s majority, fighting for women’s rights and our place in the sun, going through a martial break-up, and being a single woman again.
