Public Sector Accounting and Accountability in Australia
The second edition of Public Sector Accounting and Accountability in Australia is a comprehensive resource on public sector accountability for those who work in the public service, elected representatives and students of the public sector. It's a wide-ranging, up-to-date resource on the practices and institutional arrangements of public sector accountability and the principles that drive public sector reforms in Australia. Like the first edition, it is the authority on Australian public sector accounting and accountability. The book examines current practices and principles of accountability, the reasons behind them and the objectives of the recent reforms, which have transformed the Australian public sector. It considers the historical and constitutional context in which these practices developed, both in Britain and Australia.
Government by Fiat
Looks at the accountability - or increasingly the lack of accountability - of Australia's state and federal governments. Its focus is on the government-directed public-sector reforms of the last two decades that have made governments less accountable for service delivery, and the repercussions these reforms have had.

American Linguistics in Transition
This volume is devoted to a major chapter in the history of linguistics in the United States, the period from the 1930s to the 1980s, and focuses primarily on the transition from (post-Bloomfieldian) structural linguistics to early generative grammar. The first three chapters in the book discuss the rise of structuralism in the 1930s; the interplay between American and European structuralism; and the publication of Joos's Readings in Linguistics in 1957. Later chapters explore the beginnings of generative grammar and the reaction to it from structural linguists; how generativists made their ideas more widely known; the response to generativism in Europe; and the resistance to the new theory by leading structuralists, which continued into the 1980s. The final chapter demonstrates that contrary to what has often been claimed, generative grammarians were not in fact organizationally dominant in the field in the United States in the 1970s and 1980s.
