Charlie
Charlie At Last is a warm and uplifting account of one woman's long and winding journey to happiness. Janise Beaumont has led a fascinating life as a journalist, travelling the world and interviewing some of the most powerful, interesting and charming men and women of our times. From politicians and business men to stars; from the Packer family and Royalty to Coco Chanel and Ingrid Bergman; and the vacuous social set whose goings-on she chronicled in her popular newspaper column. She writes about the fun - and the disappointments - with humour, and sometimes with pathos. By her own admission, she is a late bloomer, slow to nail down the things she has truly longed for. Motherhood came late, as did a much-wanted reunion with a man who eluded her for 20 years.

Representing the Sporting Past in Museums and Halls of Fame
We live in a "museum age," and sport museums are part of this phenomenon. In this book, leading international sport history scholars examine sport museums including renowned institutions like the Olympic Museum in the Swiss city of Lausanne, the Babe Ruth Birthplace and Museum in Baltimore, the Marylebone Cricket Club Museum in London, the Croke Park Museum in Dublin, and the Whyte Museum in Banff. These institutions are examined in a broad context of understanding sport museums as an identifiable genre in the "museum age", and more specifically in terms of how the sporting past is represented in these museums. Historians explain, debate and critique sport museums with the intention of understanding how this important form of public history represents sport for audiences who see museums as institutions that are inherently reliable and trustworthy.

Bondi Beach
Bondi Beach is a history of an iconic place. It is a big history of geological origins, management by Aboriginal people, environmental despoliation by white Australians, and the formation of beach cultures. It is also a local history of the name Bondi, the origins of the Big Rock at Ben Buckler, the motives of early land holders, the tragedy known as Black Sunday, the hostilities between lifesavers and surfers, and the hullabaloos around the Pavilion. Pointing to a myriad of representations, author Douglas Booth shows that there is little agreement about the meaning of Bondi. Booth resolves these representations with a fresh narrative that presents the beach’s perspective of a place under siege. Booth’s creative narrative conveys important lessons about our engagement with the physical world.
