Stretcher-bearers

by Mark Johnston – Scotch College

Written by a leading expert on the Australian Army and the Second World War, this book is a generously illustrated, engaging and moving account of the history of the stretcher-bearer, a figure praised by countless Diggers but never previously the subject of a book.

The narrative is further driven by rich imagery, featuring over 130 full-page photographs.

Designed as an ‘ideal city’ and emblem of the nation, Canberra has long been a source of ambivalence for many Australians. In this charming and concise book, Nicholas Brown challenges these ideas and looks beyond the clichés to illuminate the unique, layered and often colourful history of Australia’s capital. Brown covers Canberra’s selection as the site of the national capital, the turbulent path of Walter Burley Griffin’s plan for the city, and the many phases of its construction. He surveys citizens’ diverse experiences of the city, the impact of the Second World War on Canberra’s growth, and explores the city’s political history with insight and wit.

A History of Canberra

The Cambridge Companion to the Poetry of the First World War remains a

singularly popular and powerful body of work. This Companion brings together leading

scholars in the field to re-examine First World War poetry in English at the start of the

centennial commemoration of the war.
