Roger Scott
Since the late 1960s, Roger Scott has photographed people in an impromptu and uncontrived manner. He has the ability to make photographs appear as documentation whilst at the same time allowing for the humour and occasional grotesqueness of everyday life. He is undoubtedly one of Australia's finest photographers.

Byzantine Chronicles and the Sixth Century
Byzantine chronicles have traditionally been regarded as a somewhat inferior form of Byzantine history writing, especially in comparison with 'classicizing' historians. The aim of many of these papers is both to rescue the reputation of the Byzantine chroniclers, especially Malalas and Theophanes, and also to provide some examples of how these two chroniclers in particular can be exploited usefully both to reveal aspects of the past itself, notably of the period of Justinian, and also of how the Byzantines interpreted their own past, which included on occasions rewriting that past to suit altered contemporary needs. For the period of Justinian in particular, proper attention to aspects of the humble Byzantine chronicle can also help achieve a better understanding of the period than that provided by the classicizing Procopius with his emphasis on war and conquest. By considering more general aspects of the place of history-writing in Byzantine culture, the papers also help explain why history remained such an important aspect of Byzantine culture.
Pop Pickers and Music Vendors
David Jacobs, Alan Freeman, John Peel, Tommy Vance and Roger Scott were five of the greatest British disc jockeys of the last 60 years, all passionate about the music they presented: Jacobs the easy listening maestro; Freeman the pop-picker; Peel the alternative scene champion; Vance the lover of hard rock; and Scott an eclectic mix of genres.

Byzantine Macedonia
This is volume 1 of the proceedings of the Byzantine Macedonia conference held in Melbourne in 1995. These nineteen papers are invaluable to anyone interested in the Macedonian heritage or in the economy, administration, history and representation of Macedonia during the course of the Byzantine empire. Vol. 2, Byzantine Macedonia: Art, Architecture, Music and Hagiography, edited by R. Scott and J. Burke, is published separately by the National Centre for Hellenic Studies and Research, La Trobe University, Melbourne.
By the Water's Edge
By the Water's Edge charts the development of the central character as he grows through a myriad of problems inherent in poverty, neglect, and alcoholic parents. The author grows from a child to an independent adult during the course of the novel. With gentle humor, he tells of overcoming hunger, isolation, and many other hardships as a result of poverty. His mother, who is of Cherokee ancestry, teaches her son the survival skills that will not only carry him through childhood but adulthood as well. The mother's premature death leaves the father, who is poorly educated and unskilled, alone to handle a large family. With the loss of a sister through adoption, the young boy develops a mistrust of his father that is never totally vanquished. His lifelong quest to find his sister gives a poignancy to the story that anyone can appreciate.
Despair Has Wings
In 1938 David Gascoyne was introduced to Pierre Jean Jouve whose influence would be crucial to the development of his own poetry and philosophy. Gascoyne had begun translating Jouve's poems at the end of the 1930s when Blanche Reverchon-Jouve, a Freudian psychiatrist, became his analyst.
