Underground Hobart
An exploration of subterranean Hobart. The rich and colourful history of the once open but now buried waterways - including the Hobart Rivulet, Domain Park Rivulet, and Sandy Bay-Wellington Rivulet. The book includes details of tunnels and drains stretching back to the very start of Hobart's first settlement in Sullivans Cove. Some of these have only recently been rediscovered. Other topics examined are burial grounds, the installation of water, gas and sewerage systems together with basement shops, homes and places of entertainment. Unexpected events revealed include the formation of the Liberal Party in Tasmania, and the excavation of graves on the site of an old Campbell Street convict era cemetery. Underground Hobart contains an excellent range of photographs highlighting all aspects of the world - and life - 'beneath the city'.

Orientalism
‘A stimulating, elegant yet pugnacious essay’—Observer In this highly acclaimed seminal work, Edward Said surveys the history and nature of Western attitudes towards the East, considering Orientalism as a powerful European ideological creation—a way for writers, philosophers and colonial administrators to deal with the ‘otherness’ of Eastern culture, customs and beliefs. He traces this view through the writings of Homer, Nerval and Flaubert, Disraeli and Kipling, whose imaginative depictions have greatly contributed to the West’s romantic and exotic picture of the Orient. In the Afterword, Said examines the effect of continuing Western imperialism.
'The Newsprint' - A Social and Forestry History of Maydena
'The Newsprint' describes the history of the Tyenna, Styx, Florentine and associated Valleys in the south west of Tasmania, especially in relation to the operation of wood harvesting for the Australian Newsprint Mill at Boyer, near New Norfolk, and subsequent reforestation of the areas. This is also the story of the people who lived and worked in the Tyenna Valley in the Concession areas operated by ANM.
Land Settlement in Early Tasmania
This is the first detailed examination of land alienation and land use by white settlers in an Australian colony. It treats the first decades of settlement in Van Diemen's Land, encompassing the effects of the European invasion on Aboriginal society, the early history of environmental degradation, the island's society history and the growth of primary industry. The book presents vivid insights into nineteenth-century society, where wool was so useless that it was burnt, and farmers lived in fear of bushrangers and Aborigines. We see how individuals were constrained by the rigid expectations of race, class and gender in a society where no white man ever stood trial for rape or murder of a black. Drawing on contemporary diaries and letters, as well as government statistics, manuals for intending settlers and newspaper reports, Sharon Morgan has built up a comprehensive picture of the significance of landscape and land use in early colonial society.
Clinical Nutrition
As an academic subject, nutrition has grown enormously in recent years and with it the need for specialist textbooks on the subject. In response to this need, a decision was taken by The Nutrition Society to produce a ground-breaking series of four textbooks, of which Clinical Nutrition is the final. The books in the series: Provide students with the required scientific basis in nutrition, in the context of a systems and health approach. Enable teachers and students to explore the core principles of nutrition and to apply these throughout their training to foster critical thinking at all times. Each chapter identifies the key areas of knowledge that must be understood and also the key points...
