Peter Carey is one of the most respected novelists writing today. Since the original edition of this book, Carey's fiction has reached a far wider international audience: he has won the Booker Prize for the second time with True History of the Kelly Gang, while Oscar and Lucinda has been made into a successful feature film. Bruce Woodcock's revised and expanded critical study now includes detailed readings of the recent novels, Jack Maggs and True History of the Kelly Gang, seeing them as the finest productions of a writer who continues to surprise and delight his readers with inventive creations and unique imagination.

This innovative book provides an incisive critique of well-established positions in postcolonial theory and a dramatic expansion in the range of interpretative tools available. Peter Hallward gives substantial readings of four significant writers whose work invites, to varying degrees, a singular interpretation of postcolonialism: Edouard Glissant, Charles Johnson, Mohammed Dib, and Severo Sarduy. Using a singular interpretation of postcolonialism is central to the argument this book makes, and to understanding the postcolonial paradigm.
Tasmania, its landscape, rocks and tectonic structures is the most misunderstood and less celebrated aspect of the state. It is so unique geologically, as it is related more to Antarctic geology than it is to mainland Australia. "Created from Chaos" is a definitive book interpreting (in understandable terminology) 101 Tasmanian goelogical sites and places . . . as old as 1300 million year rocks on King Island to the most recent landslides in Launceston. Using basic explanations and definitions, photographic images of Chaos sites, rocks, structures, Permian and Tertiary fossils, the author shows how to acknowledge this 'special place' . . . the island of Tasmania. The geological 'trail' was designed by the author for easy access and viewing from roads or short walking tracks. The colume will be invaluable to educators, researchers, students, fossickers and the public and could provide a first point of reference for scientists investigating Tasmania's geology and geological history.
