Austral Ark

Edited by Adam Stow – Macquarie University, Norman Maclean – University of Southampton and Gregory I. Holwell – University of Auckland

Australia and New Zealand are home to a remarkable and unique assemblage of flora and fauna. Sadly though, by virtue of their long isolation, and a naive and vulnerable biota, both countries have suffered substantial losses to biodiversity since European contact. Bringing together the contributions of leading conservation biologists, Austral Ark presents the special features and historical context of Austral biota, and explains what is being conserved and why. The threatening processes occurring worldwide are discussed, along with the unique conservation problems faced at regional level. The book also highlights many examples of conservation success resulting from the innovative solutions that have been developed to safeguard native species and habitats in both New Zealand and Australia.

Austral Ark fills an important gap regarding wildlife gains and declines, and how best to take conservation forward to keep this extraordinary area of the world thriving.

The Battle for Moscow

by David Stahel

HIGHLIGHTAvailable March 2015

In November 1941 Hitler ordered German forces to complete the final drive on the Soviet capital, now less than 100 kilometres away. From the German perspective the final drive on Moscow had all the ingredients of a dramatic final battle in the east, which, according to previous accounts, only failed at the gates of Moscow. With unparalleled research from previously undocumented army files and soldiers' letters, David Stahel now challenges this well-established narrative – taking a fresh look at the battle for Moscow, which even before the Soviet winter offensive, threatened disaster for Germany's war in the east.

Chopsticks

by Q. Edward Wang

Chopsticks have become a quintessential part of the Japanese, Chinese and Korean culinary experience across the globe, with more than one fifth of the world’s population using them daily to eat. In this vibrant, highly original account of the history of chopsticks, Q. Edward Wang charts their evolution from a simple eating implement in ancient times to their status as a much more complex, cultural symbol today. Calling upon a striking selection of artwork, the author illustrates how chopstick use has influenced Asian cuisine, and how, in turn the cuisine continues to influence chopstick use, both in Asia and across the globe.

This innovative book explores the significance of walking in Roman literature, thought and culture.

By examining how Roman authors depict walking, this book sheds new light on the Romans themselves - not only how they perceived themselves and their experience of the world, but also how they drew distinctions between work and play, mind and body, and Republic and Empire.

A History of Canberra by Nicholas Brown – Australian National University

Featured in Australian Book Review – November 2014‘… with A History of Canberra, Brown seeks to understand the capital by a different measure. He is interested in the historical and environmental dynamics of the place, how it evolved over time, and what it tells us about the broader Australian experience. This is a beautifully written, and impressively concise, general history of the nation’s capital. It is also a search to understand the enduring enigma of Canberra.’

June 2014

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.
