This book explores the relationship between creativity, creative people, and creative industries in regional Australia through examining lived experience. The authors draw on more than 100 qualitative interviews with creative workers, and contextualise this creative work within the broader social and cultural structures of Australia’s Hunter region (located north of Sydney, in New South Wales). An invaluable resource for anyone interested in creative ecosystems as well as creativity and innovation, this book is an ethnographic study using the Hunter region as a case connected to the national and global networks that typify the creative industry. This timely addition to the Palgrave Studies in Creativity and Culture series gives a unique insight into creativity and cultural production.
Parker Grey, gossip columnist and author of The Locker Room blog had an unwanted houseguest. Well, not unwanted, exactly. In fact, there were a lot of people who wanted her…Parker included, but she was off-limits. Talia Jane was definitely someone Parker should not get involved with, especially while she was hiding out in his apartment. Natalie Beckett, better known as Talia Jane, actress and Australia’s favourite girl-next-door, was on the run.

It's time for us to re-examine the past. Our lives are infinitely richer if we take the time to look at what the Greeks and Romans have given us in politics and law, religion and philosophy and education, and to learn how people really lived in Athens, Rome, Sparta and Alexandria. This is a book with a serious point to make but the author isn't simply a classicist but a comedian and broadcaster who has made television and radio documentaries about humour, education and Dorothy Parker. This is a book for us all. Whether political, cultural or social, there are endless parallels between the ancient and modern worlds. Whether it's the murder of Caesar or the political assassination of Thatcher; the narrative arc of the hit HBO series The Wire or that of Oedipus; the popular enthusiasm for the Emperor Titus or President Obama - over and over again we can be seen to be living very much like people did 2,000 or more years ago.
