Stewart , Flemington : Hyland House , 2005 Z1351307 2005 single work non-fiction children's This book is as much about Charles Darwin as his ideas.

'The extraordinary collection of letters has remained unpublished for nearly a century. It sheds vivid light on race relations, social conditions and Aboriginal culture in Central Australia, It also documents a crucial and poorly understood period in the history of anthropology. The book makes an invaluable contribution to the understanding of central Australian Aboriginal society, and to current debates concerning land rights.'  (Publication summary)
1 2 y separately published work icon Beside the Lake : A Ballarat Childhood Mary Steele , South Melbourne : Hyland House , 2000 Z668612 2000 single work autobiography

Children of the clergy carry a burden of expectation, for other people assume that they have been born with all Christian virtues fully developed. For this reason it was something of a handicap being the daughter of the fifth Bishop of Ballarat, the expectations being even higher. Life in a clerical household during the 1930s and 1940s is presented here not as an exercise in sombre piety but as an account of normal, often hilarious 'goings-on' at Bishopscourt. (Libraries Australia record).

2 26 y separately published work icon Akhenaten Dorothy Porter , St Lucia : University of Queensland Press , 1992 Z248289 1992 single work novel (taught in 6 units)

'Akhenaten was a fascinating, shadowy figure in Egyptian history – archaeologists have discovered attempts to eradicate all traces of his brief reign, but enough remains to tell a remarkable story of incest, heresy, androgyny and a massive cult of personality.

'Like Albert Camus celebrated Caligula, Dorothy Porter's Akhenaten is an attractive warped megalomaniac who attempted to construct an heretical religion around one Sun God, with himself at the centre.

'Akhenaten is a novel in verse that captures the obsessive, erotic nature of its central figure. It is a towering achievement.'
