POWER, POLITICS AND PARLIAMENT
John Nethercote's contributions to history, politics and public administration spanned five decades and three continents. Additionally, he played a crucial role in promoting political biography and was instrumental in stimulating a renewal of interest in the history of the Liberal Party.

Australian Political Lives
This monograph brings together some of the best practitioners of the art and craft of political biography in Australia.

The assembled papers explore the strengths and weaknesses of the biographical approach; the enjoyment it can deliver; the problems and frustrations of writing biographies; and the various ways the 'project' can be approached by those constructing these lives. They probe the art and craft of the political biographer.

The Pagan Madonna
"Humdrum isn't where you live; it's what you are. Perhaps you are one of those whose lives are bound by neighbourly interests. Imaginatively, you never seek what lies under a gorgeous sunset; you are never stirred by any longing to investigate the ends of rainbows. You are more concerned by what your neighbour does every day than by what he might do if he were suddenly spun, whirled, jolted out of his poky orbit..." Harold MacGrath was a bestselling American novelist, short story writer, and screenwriter.
