Peter Dawson
Peter Dawson, the Australian bass baritone who became the most widely recorded singer in history, is remembered today by some as the voice of British imperialism, of Kipling's Boots' and The Road to Mandalay'; and by others as the man who made Waltzing Matilda' the anthem it is today. In his record-breaking career from 1904 to 1958 he made nearly 2000 recordings, from cylinders to LPs, in a more diverse repertoire than any other artist in history. But his recording career with HMV and EMI was only a tenth of his career as a touring concert artist and entertainer to metropolitan centres and outposts of the British empire. In this, Dawson's first and definitive biography, the basso Russell Smith and sound archivist Peter Burgis, have revealed a tough-minded, dedicated artist who was also a bon viveur and practical joker whose personality, as much as his voice, contributed to his universal popularity.
Seasoning of a Life
In this autobiography the author chronicles events in his parents lives in a rural Missouri river town in the 1900s. Their experiences seasoned his character during his childhood in the 60s that is described in the later half of the book. This memoir was written for the authors children as a way for them to know their heritage. The experiences in the authors life shaped his character and were vastly different from his childrens lives as times changed. The book is dedicated to the authors wife who was instrumental in its completion. These events and escapades are presented in a light-hearted, story telling format.
A Better Way
For nearly 60 years dentists from around the world have traveled to St. Petersburg, Florida to attend Peter Dawson's seminars on "The Concept of Complete Dentistry.¿" He's personally taught more than 50,000 of those practitioners. In the process he literally redefined dentistry and its standard of care by challenging his professional peers to raise their sites beyond "usual and customary" practices, to become true physicians of the masticatory system. But the most important reason for reading this book?It's the promise reflected in its title and in Pete Dawson's life-long quest to discover A Better Way. A Better Way to practice dentistry, for sure. But also, A Better Way to define success. A Better Way to balance the demands of a career with the needs of a family. In short, A Better Way to live.

Creative Capital
The global leader in digital core analysis for oil and gas exploration is a firm linked to the UNSW and ANU. The company which introduced large scale multi-player computer games-with technology that recently gained dominance of the Chinese market-is the creation of a suburban inventor and his wife. The company with the world's foremost wind-mapping technology is run by a Canadian and a Pommy who met in Canberra. Their stories are just a few that Peter Dawson has, about what can be achieved when science, invention, government and business open doors for each other. Just one city-often discounted as a soulless government town-produces dozens of amazing examples of worldwide business success, based on entrepreneurial support for innovative technology. His book is also a pointer for bureaucrats, boffins and business people-wherever they may be-to the advantages of imaginative collaboration. It searches for the formula that produces the winning results. And in the process it also finds some mindsets that squander opportunity.
Showdown at Anchor
The heart of the American West lives in Peter Dawson's stories, with characters that blaze a trail over a land of frontier dreams and nightmares and across a country coming of age. Sometimes, as in "A Tinhorn Takes a Tank Town," the conflict has to do with murder and power, as when High-Card Stevens goes up against a crooked saloon owner. Sometimes, as in "Unwanted Gold," it is brother against brother, as when Dave Sanders finds his older brother, whom he hasn't seen for ten years, and is unwittingly drawn into an enterprise that leads to dire consequences.
Graphic Design Rules
365 daily design mantras from four leading industry experts, providing you with valuable design dos and don'ts for every day of year. Packed with practical advice presented in a fun, lighthearted fashion, this is the perfect book for the ever-growing group of non-designers who want some graphic design guidance. And for more experienced designers, individual entries will either bring forth knowing nods of agreement or hoots of derision, depending on whether or not the reader loves or hates hyphenation, has a pathological fear of beige, or thinks that baseline grids are boring. In the style of a classical almanac, 365 entries combine a specific rule with a commentary from a variety of experienced designers from all fields of the graphic design industry. Covering topics such as typography, colour, layout, imagery, production, and creative thinking, you can either dip in at random or use the book as the source of a daily lesson in how to produce great graphic design.
