VOLUME 1 - THE PRESIDENTIAL MEMOIRS
A riveting, deeply personal account of history in the making—from the president who inspired us to believe in the power of democracy.
A timely book from Geoff Raby, former Australian Ambassador to the People's Republic of China. Disruption has blown the old world apart and combined with the rise of China, Trump's America First policies, division within Europe and successful defiance by authoritarian states, the emerging new order is being reshaped. How Australia must position itself for this possibly dystopian future has been the focus of this book.
In The Truth of the Palace Letters Paul Kelly and Troy Bramston reveal their meaning and significance for understanding the dismissal. The analysis of these documents and their authors throws a revealing light on the connection between the Queen in Buckingham Palace and the Governor-General in Canberra.
Coupled with newly discovered archival documents and interviews, Kelly and Bramston explain the implications of the letters for our Constitution, our democracy and the republic debate.
In looking at the life of Vida Goldstein, Australian suffragette and social reformer, Jacqueline Kent also examines how much has changed for women in parliament since 1903 and now.
ABBEY'S BOOKSELLER PICK ----- A lavishly illustrated history of nine Australian rivers and one riverine system, examining the human relationship to these waterways. From the Yarra to the Clarence, the Murray to the Snowy, the Ord to the Franklin, each river has a history of indigenous dispossession and colonial alteration. The ways we have used, imagined and changed them are many and varied, and this well-written, easily-read book details those strands of history. Fascinating! Lindy Jones
