A History of Canberra

by Nicholas Brown, Australian National University

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.

Birds and Climate Change

by James W. Pearce-Higgins, Rhys E. Green

From the red grouse to the Ethiopian bush-crow, bird populations around the world can provide us with vital insights into the effects of climate change on species and ecosystems. Providing a single source of information for students, scientists, practitioners and policymakers, this book begins with a critical review of the existing impacts of climate change on birds, including changes in the timing of migration and breeding and effects on bird populations around the world. The second part considers how conservationists can assess potential future impacts, quantifying how extinction risk is linked to the magnitude of global change and synthesising the evidence in support of likely conservation responses.

The Hidden Jane Austen

by John Wiltshire, La Trobe University

In this major study, leading Austen scholar John Wiltshire offers new interpretations of Jane Austen’s six novels, Sense and Sensibility (1811), Pride and Prejudice (1813), Mansfield Park (1814), Emma (1816), Northanger Abbey and Persuasion (1818). Much recent criticism of Austen has concentrated on the social, historical and intellectual context of her work, but Wiltshire turns attention back to Austen’s prose techniques. Arguing that each of Austen’s works has its own distinct focus and underlying agenda, he shows how Austen’s interest in psychology, and especially her treatment of attention and the various forms of memory, helped shape her narratives.

July Crisis

by Thomas Otte

This is a magisterial new account of Europe’s tragic descent into a largely inadvertent war in the summer of 1914. Thomas Otte reveals why a century-old system of Great Power politics collapsed so disastrously in the weeks from the ‘shot heard around the world’ on June 28th to Germany’s declaration of war on Russia on August 1st. He shows definitively that the key to understanding how and why Europe descended into world war is to be found in the near-collective failure of statecraft by the rulers of Europe and not in abstract concepts such as the ‘balance of power’ or the ‘alliance system’. In this unprecedented panorama of Europe on the brink, from the ministerial palaces of Berlin and Vienna to Belgrade, London, Paris and St Petersburg, Thomas Otte reveals the hawks and doves whose decision-making led to a war that would define a century and which still reverberates today.

Compulsory Voting

by Jason Brennan and Lisa Hill, University of Adelaide

Two leading political theorists debate whether compulsory voting is the solution to the decline in overall voter turnout. Jason Brennan argues that compulsory voting will not only fail to make governments more responsive to the needs of the disadvantaged, but that it might actually harm them. Lisa Hill argues that compulsory voting makes the political system more democratic.
