Jack The Stripper
The unadorned language of Jack the Stripper ranges from the bitter comedy of monologues like 'His Story' to the touching pathos of the elegy 'Gone Below' and the vision of lost pastoral in 'Mud and Sun', taking in, en route, a hilarious skit of Arthur Conan Doyle. The speaker in these poems spares no-one - least of all himself - and presents a vision of contemporary life in which "literature had vanished, but the causes grew." In an age of competing orthodoxies, each sure of its rightness, we need what these poems offer; a contrariness, a refusal to say the right thing, a finely-judged deployment of irony and satire. Paul Sutton is an essential poet. - Alan Baker I'm not sure if any poet evo...

By addressing this question from a qualitative and comparative methodological angle, this book analyses the effects of a small population size on political competition and participation. By comparing the four microstates of San Marino (Europe), St. Kitts and Nevis (Caribbean), Seychelles (Africa), and Palau (Oceania), it provides fresh and stimulating insight, concluding that the political dynamics of microstates are not as democratic as commonly believed. Instead, it is found in all four cases that smallness results in personalistic politics, dominance of the political executive, patron-client relations be...

A Statistical History of Rugby League - Volume I
The Greatest Game of All or Rugby League as it is known to some has given me nearly a half a century of pleasure and a little pain. In 1966 at the ripe old age of 6 I was introduced to our game when my Uncle Harry moved into the bedroom I shared with my younger brother in a 2 bedroom fibro joint in Rockdale(Dragon Territory). Harry was playing lower grades for Jack Gibson s Roosters and went on to play for St George in the 1971 Grand Final against my other front rower mate John Sattler and his Rabbitoh s. By the age of 9 I had memorized every player in the Big League magazine. The game became my obsession. Even if I had not been lucky enough to play over 100 games in the best competition in ...
