The different aspects of islamic culture
Islamic culture, which is still vigorous in spite of its great antiquity, set out to develop side by side a vision of the individual and of the universe, a philosophy and an art of living that can be seen in the impressive remains of its heritage that is an essential part of the whole of humankind's.

An Iron Will
Tasmania's Beaconsfield is nationally known for its gold. Few people realise that before the gold rush of 1877, the Beaconsfield district was the centre of Australia’s iron industry. It was here the largest iron smelter in the southern hemisphere was built on the west bank of the Tamar River – forty years before BHP Newcastle! Is it true Beaconsfield was where iron ore was first discovered in Australia? Who came here and what did they find? Is this where the Australian mining industry began? This book documents the events and introduces the people who explored the region from the first settlement in 1804. We uncover the lives of forgotten pioneers who made many of Australia’s first mineral discoveries and created industries to extract them and build our nation.
Broken Circles
This major work reveals the dark heart of the history of the Stolen Generations in Australia. It shows that, from the earliest times of European colonization, Aboriginal Australians experienced the trauma of loss and separation, as their children were abducted, enslaved, institutionalized, and culturally remodeled. Providing a moving and comprehensive account of this tragic history, this study covers all Australian colonies, states, and territories. The analysis spans 200 years of white occupation and intervention, from the earliest seizure of Aboriginal children, through their systematic state removal and incarceration, and on to the harsh treatment of families under the assimilation policies of the 1950s and 1960s. The resistance struggle and achievements of Aboriginal people in defending their communities, regaining their rights and mending the broken circles of family life provides a compelling parallel story of determination and courage.

The Europeans in Australia
'It is the duty of historians to be, wherever they can, accurate, precise, humane, imaginative - using moral imagination above all – and even-handed.' - Alan Atkinson The second of three volumes of the landmark, award-winning series The Europeans in Australia gives an account of early settlement by Britain. It tells of the political and intellectual origins of this extraordinary undertaking that began during the 1780s, a decade of extraordinary creativity and the climax of the European Enlightenment. Volume Two, Democracy, takes the story from around 1815 to the early 1870s. By exploring the nineteenth-century ‘communications revolution’ Atkinson casts new light on the way Australia fi...
