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.

Because of One Man
Three years ago Roger Scott was the most feared gangster in south east London. That was before he got married, gave up his drug supply business, went legitimate and law abiding, became soft and vulnerable. Now both he and his remaining businesses are being violently attacked from all sides, and an Assistant Chief Constable Ted Walton is determined to bring him down. Has Roger been out of the game too long? Can he get his mob back together and fight back? Or has he left it too late?
Enough
For more than thirty years, humankind has known how to grow enough food to end chronic hunger worldwide. Yet while the ''Green Revolution'' succeeded in South America and Asia, it never got to Africa. More than 9 million people every year die of hunger, malnutrition, and related diseases every year - most of them in Africa and most of them children. More die of hunger in Africa than from AIDS and malaria combined. Now, an impending global food crisis threatens to make things worse. In the west we think of famine as a natural disaster, brought about by drought; or as the legacy of brutal dictators. But in this powerful investigative narrative, Thurow & Kilman show exactly how, in the past few decades, American, British, and European policies conspired to keep Africa hungry and unable to feed itself. As a new generation of activists work to keep famine from spreading, Enough is essential reading on a humanitarian issue of utmost urgency.
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.
The Book of Power
A group of students travel to a local Renaissance Fair and discover an ancient tome called the Book of Power. Upon opening the book and reading a single line of text, it transports them to another world called Midaria.

The young travelers suddenly find themselves caught in the middle of a war to posses the Book of Power and the secrets within, including the truth behind one of their own.
