The Aboriginal Story of Burke and Wills
The Aboriginal Story of Burke and Wills is the first major study of Aboriginal associations with the Burke and Wills expedition of 1860–61.

My Most Amazing Year: The 1942 Diary of Eleanor Law Scruggs
In 1942, only 24 days after Pearl Harbor, school girl Eleanor Law, of Lee High School in Jacksonville, Florida, began her diary. Through that first year of World War II, she observes civilian life and finds love. Her diary tells of meeting the man she would eventually marry and live with for 51 years. Breathless, excited, happy, anxious--her words reveal the real concerns of the time. As German subs sink ships in sight of Jacksonville and the FBI captures Nazi spies right in the city, Eleanor also worries about the USO dance and her school grades in real time.
Line of Blood
In reading the book, parts of Howitt's character made my skin crawl, but the uncovering of his life was revelatory ... I believe the publication of Line of Blood will be at a very pertinent time. - Bruce Pascoe Line of Blood tells the full story of Australia's so-called 'ablest anthropologist'; the botanist, geologist, senior public servant and explorer Alfred Howitt - and ancestor of the author, Craig Horne. That Howitt was an extraordinary polymath is not challenged. And yet, his anthropological conclusions, coupled with his social and political influences, legitimised the murderous advance of white settlement upon the Australian landscape. For Howitt, the 'line of blood' that followed white settlement was nothing more than the iron law of replacement, whereby an 'inferior race' is inevitably usurped by a 'superior civilisation'. His disastrously racist ideologies facilitated a pattern of neglect and dismissal of Australia's First Nations peoples - the consequences of which reverberate today.
