Murujuga: Dynamics of the Dreaming was an Australian ResearchCouncil Linkage Project (LP140100393) administered by the Centrefor Rock Art Research and Management (CRAR+M) at the Universityof Western Australia (UWA). This project involved Murujuga AboriginalCorporation (MAC) as collaborating organisation and Rio Tinto as thepartner organisation. Field-based research ran from 2014 to 2018. Thisaimed to provide scientific evidence to protect and understand theNational Heritage-listed rock art and stone structures of Murujuga(Burrup Peninsula) and Dampier Archipelago and provide newevidence in support of the World Heritage nomination of this property.Rio Tinto's involvement is founded on its conservationagreement with the Commonwealth, which funds research intothe values of the National Heritage Listed Place. This support hasincluded the initial endowment of the Rio Tinto Chair of Rock ArtStudies at UWA as well as ongoing funding support through theRio Tinto UWA Memorandum of Understanding, which employs theCRAR+M Database Manager, and funds the annual Murujuga rockart field schools and capacity for research projects in the Pilbarawith other Pilbara communities.In keeping with the goals of the CRAR+M monograph series, thisvolume is data rich, with detailed information about the rock art,stone structures and excavated sites researched by this project.Throughout the project's fieldwork, the researchers met regularlywith the Murujuga Circle of Elders to update them on results andto seek permissions for the next phase of fieldwork.

Coniston, Central Australia, 1928: the murder of an itinerant prospector at this isolated station by local Warlpiri triggered a series of police-led expeditions that ranged over vast areas for two months, with the 'hunting parties' shooting down victims by the dozen.The official death toll, declared by the whitewash federal inquiry as being all in self-defence, was thirty-one. The real number was certainly many times that.As the last mass killing in our country's genocidal past but an event largely unremembered, Coniston has never before been fully researched and recorded. This book fills that absence in Australia's history and reminds us that without truth, there can be no reconciliation.

In What Lies Beneath Matters registered psychologist Grace da Camara and her GP-daughter Dr Madalena Bennett share their personal experiences and first-hand knowledge of managing the day-to-day challenges of raising a child with ADHD. Fuelled by their own struggles, the two have developed a hands-on, practical tool for parents and children to help manage the impact of ADHD on the family. This self-help workbook and guide is part of the OnTrac ADHD program, designed for parents and their children aged between 7 and 10 years old. The program's proven methods and techniques are based on Grace's work with children with ADHD in both individual and group settings. Through the OnTrac program, Grace found that a collaborative approach involving the child, parents, and services could achieve meaningful and significant reductions in ADHD symptoms. What Lies Beneath Matters is specifically designed to help improve the quality of parent-child interaction and foster a more informed understanding of the child's thinking ability, motivation, and values. By sharing their own experiences and the successes of the OnTrac program, Grace and Madalena provide realistic, practical, and useful information to young children with ADHD and their parents. With a focus on improving the relationship between parent and child, this book offers hope to families struggling with ADHD.

Ours As We Play It takes a close look at several contemporary Australian productions of three Shakespeare plays; exploring masculinity and madness in Hamlet, the role of landscape and the multiple roles of Rosalind in As You Like It, and hierarchies of gender and social order re-imagined in relation to Australian understandings of power in A Midsummer Night's Dream.

Her twin daughters continue her journey with their own search for self-acceptance, truth and justice.

Funny, clever and keenly observed, Decadence is a profound musing on literature and language, that deftly skewers the would-be gatekeepers of verse. With this second collection, Thuy On has cemented herself as a vibrant, unique and captivating new voice in Australian poetry. - MAXINE BENEBA CLARKE In Decadence, Thuy On indulges in her love of language, assembling a unique erotics of word and punctuation, showcasing a poetry that is pure-in being about itself-but also powerfully seductive. As the poet herself puts it, this is 'art laid bare', performing how language works as language but also as a window onto those dark, human mysteries of being and feeling. Indeed, if On builds such a brilliantly decadent mansion out of poetry, exploiting striking imagery and playful wit, it is ultimately to provide a kind of refuge, 'lest the cave of night swallows you.' - MARIA TAKOLANDER Thuy On's poems are always wry, epicurean and defiant, and this book underlines her unique place in Australian poetry. Literate yet disarmingly unpretentious, wildly playful yet leavened with complex feeling, Decadence is a surreptitious delight. - ANDY JACKSON

In June 1867, Bessy Flowers was sent away from Minang Country, never to return. She was a young woman, educated, musical, confident andhopeful. Bessy was educated at Annesfield in Albany, showing strong aptitude in writing, reading and the piano. She became a teacher herself.But like generations of Aboriginal children to follow, Bessy was separated from those she cared for and often longed for home. Often and often my thoughts fly to Albany she wrote from a Mission in Victoria on August 16 1867.More than ten years in the making No Longer a Wandering Spirit is a remarkable story that offers a unique insight into Aboriginalconnections between family and country and the harm when this contact is lost.Readers are invited to follow Bessy's family from both sides of the country as they unite and fulfil on their own terms Bessy's spiritualreturn home.Bessy Flowers is a hero of mine, and I'm very glad she's at the centre of a book that features her images and writing, along with the remarkable journey to situate her in family and Country - Kim ScottThis is a story told through the experience and emotions of my family.It's our journey of reconnecting and of discovering a stronger sense of who we are - Ezzard Flowers

The French botanist Théodore Leschenault (1773-1826) travelled with Nicolas Baudin's voyage of discovery to Australia in the years 1800 to 1803: his journal and letters vividly record his impressions of the plant life and animals he encountered, along with dramatic and unsettling meetings with Indigenous peoples.Shaped as much by Enlightenment ideas as by his painful experience of the French Revolution, Leschenault weaves through his travelogue reflections on topics ranging from slavery and colonialism to plant classification and environmental damage.Long thought lost, Leschenault's original manuscript journal was rediscovered only in 2016. The French Collector offers the first complete English translation of this journal, including two previously unknown chapters on his experiences in Le Havre, Tenerife and Mauritius. This edition also provides extensive explanatory notes and an introduction which details Leschenault's early life in Burgundy and imprisonment during the Revolution and sets his activities against the backdrop of French science and exploration in the period.

After a period of loss, and much change, Saskia Beudel began walking. Within eighteen months she had walked in the Snowy Mountains, twice along the south-west coast of Tasmania, the MacDonnell Ranges west of Alice Springs, the Arnhem Land plateau in Kakadu, the Wollemi National Park in New South Wales, and in Ladakh in the Himalayas. But she kept returning to the glowing ochre gorges of central Australia. The book that emerged tells stories from Australia's desert heart, examines the entanglement of Aboriginal and European cultures, remembers POW camps in Indonesia during World War II, and relives childhood epiphanies in a haunting collection of landscapes while tracing family secrets across the globe. Saskia Beudel powerfully captures the enigmas of displacement, belonging and the intricacies, often strikingly at odds with one another, of Aboriginal and settler understandings of the desert environment.

In 1826 the British set up a garrison on the edges of an Aboriginal world at King George’s Sound – the site of present day Albany, Western Australia – with the aim of deterring the French from occupying the area. The British newcomers and the area’s Indigenous inhabitants, the King Ya-nup, came to share a small space, forcing both cultures to improvise in order to communicate and interact with one another. Within this sphere associations and friendships were formed that were as surprising as they were unique. This ethnographic history narrates episodes of the developing relationships between British and Aboriginal individuals at King George’s Sound. These stories transcend the common ‘friendly’ or ‘violent’ encounters, unearthing instead how and why particular King Ya-nup engaged with the British world, utilising the new presence to seeming advantage.

Dr Raymond Filigree, running away from a disastrous medical career, mistakes an unknown name on a map for the perfect refuge. He travels to the isolated town of Wittenoom and takes charge of its small hospital, a place where no previous doctor has managed to stay longer than an eye blink. Instead of settling into a quiet, solitary life, he discovers an asbestos mining corporation with no regard for the safety of its workers and no care for the truth.Thirty years later, Dr Lou Fitzgerald stumbles across the abandoned Wittenoom Hospital. She, too, is a fugitive from a medical career toppled by a single error. Here she discovers faded letters and barely used medical equipment, and, slowly the story of the hospital’s tragic past comes to her.Dustfall is the tale of the crashing consequences of medical error, the suffering caused by asbestos mining and the power of storytelling.

 Winner of the 2021 Victorian Premier''s Literary Award for Poetry  Your name is not yours / once it''s in their mouth        The highly anticipated follow up to the award-winning collection The Special, this electric new body of work by David Stavanger is a mix tape of free verse, lyric poetry, found text, spoken word and flash fiction documenting the lived/living mental health experience and the well beyond.Praise for Case Notes''Case Notes is a visceral and profound meditation on masculinity, mental illness, fatherhood, family and suburban life. This deeply vulnerable collection expertly balances humour and wit alongside moments of grief, loneliness, anxiety and sadness. Stavanger''s knowingly-disordered list poems, associative lyrics, inter-species dialogues, and prose poems slowly accumulate to weave a meticulously compiled poet-as-protagonist narrative that speaks to the personal, social and structural intimacies and embodiments of mental health experience.'' The judges of the 2021 Victorian Premier''s Literary Awards ''If you haven''t laughed or cried or seen rain in a while, Stavanger''s collection is the breaking of the dry spell - the sore, urgent state of bursting forth, face lifted to the beauty and the horror of the world. The human and other animal bodies on these pages are expressed as grimly humorous, heartbreaking, stunningly experiential narratives. This is poetry at its very best.'' Laura Jean McKay''The poems in Case Notes are intimate and playful, elegiac and bursting with love. They walk us home with our dogs in every kind of weather, name all our missing things and claim them back. The world felt familiar and unknown to me after reading these poems.'' Tishani Doshi''This book is beautiful and sardonic and tender. Stavanger''s poetry traces the fractures of sanity and feeling, and makes meaning and hope in the hollows left by lost memories and lost people.'' Jonathan Dunk  

The Weave is the second book collaboration between Thurston Moore and John Kinsella - dubbed a ''work in progress'' by the two poets, the book guides readers through a world in decay, crafting an invigorating language of spontaneity and survival out of the destruction. Moore and Kinsella aren''t just observing - they implicate us all in the harms of global capitalism and environmental disaster, charting a back and forth between the individual and the crowd. ROSIE LONG DECTER These poems start in Dolphy''s key + end with a quarryman''s dream. In between secrets are stored. See how many you can find. CLARK COOLIDGE

There has been a dearth of longitudinal attention to the prosecution of ''road traffic deaths'' in Australia and worldwide, surprising given more than 50 million people have died or been killed to date. Globally, the ''road toll'' is estimated at 1.35 million per year. Almost all of those deaths are attributable to some form of human error. A Lesser Species of Homicide examines the shifting nexus where human error, fault, act or omission meet the question of criminal liability.In the first study of its kind in the world, Kerry King examines how parliaments, prosecutors, police and the courts have responded to deaths occasioned by the use of motor vehicles from the mid-twentieth century to the present, including the extent to which the community and judiciary have been prepared to label driving conduct culpable. She explores how wedded we are to the residual notion of ''accident'', to speed, drink-driving, risk, masculinity and the broader driving culture, and how these have intersected with the tenets of intention, negligence, dangerousness and carelessness to affect judgments about drivers'' conduct. Drawing on hundreds of cases, King carefully traces the construction of offences and case law while observing key emerging themes, including approaches to multiple fatalities, outcomes in cases involving vulnerable road users, the difficulties with prosecuting intoxicated drivers and, most importantly, trends in charging standards and sentencing.For rigour, one Australian jurisdiction, Western Australia, has been chosen as the site of inquiry, yet there is little evidence to suggest that the trends explored herein are peculiar or exceptional. The status quo elsewhere in Australia and overseas appears remarkably similar.A Lesser Species of Homicide seeks to explore how and why deaths on the road have been treated as a species apart.

When Marie D'Anger saw that look in Edy Baudin's eye, she knew it was time to go home. Marie D'Anger returns to the family home in southwest Australia after years of living in England, to a father whose destructive impulses have been curbed by a stroke, and a mother whose passivity she never understood. Behind her is Edy Baudin and the deep love they shared before he left, suddenly and without explanation. Further back still is her father and his fraught relationships with his mother, brother and stepfather. But when Edy follows Marie to Australia, her father's shocking revelation brings hidden things to the surface. This is quintessential Rossiter: an intense, poetic, family drama and psychological tragedy.

In her characteristically direct approach, political analyst Loretta Napoleoni takes on the vexed story-and threat-of North Korea for those of us in the West who remain blinded by its myths and bigotry. Like China's Mao Zedong, Kim Il-Sung - North Korea's leader from its founding in 1948 until his death in 1994 - washed away the humiliation caused by Japanese colonisation and re-created an ancient nation. He consolidated and protected the country with strict principles of unity and isolation. His grandson Kim Jong-un is following in the footsteps of Chinese revolutionary politics by modernising the country using the economy as the main tool of transformation. This short, informative book is an account of a country central to world politics and yet little understood. Further, it presents insider narratives of its people, whose self-image is radically different to the image we have of them.

Dan Disney's highly original either, Orpheus remakes the villanelle. The 'sound-swarms' in this contemporary 'orphic' work riff laterally on received poetic and philosophical ideas and incorporate fascinating shreds of thinking and saying. Rainer Maria Rilke and Soren Kierkegaard are the presiding spirits in the volume, and Disney is also in discussion about divergent ways of seeing and understanding with writers from all over the globe. This inventive poetry explores culture, authenticity and translation, and quizzes the lyric modes of apostrophe and song. - Paul HetheringtonDan Disney's either, Orpheus arrives with the force of a tropical weather event to deliver a series of pulsating shocks to the languages of everyday life. Neither strictly poetic nor purely philosophical, these deliriously pedagogical poems summon Rilke, Levertov, Ashbery, Sartre, Kierkegaard, Cage and multitudinous others to reconsider what we thought we knew of authorship, form, religion, phenomenology and love. For Disney, the proper response to Bloom's anxiety of influence is 'a godless both/and' in which a series of 'elegiac anthroposcenes' transforms the labyrinth of solitude into the kinds of worlds that we 'non-residents' might want to inhabit. Hospitable, demanding, festive and fearless, either, Orpheus passes through 'where previously it was not evident that anyone could find a passage'. - Fiona Hile
