Zustand: Hervorragend. Zustand: Hervorragend | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | New Zealand 1773. A week before Christmas. A rowboat carrying ten sailors disappears. Next day butchered bodies are found on a beach. All have been killed by Maori warriors. Captain Cook will not retaliate. Warning his crew against vengeance, Cook assures local Maoris his expedition has come in peace. When the Chief who lead the attack later appears, Cook meets with him and takes no action.James Cook is now the subject of heated argument. Serious claims circulate about his motives in exploring the Pacific, his relation to colonisation, especially his conduct toward natives.This evidence-based book cuts through a crust of rhetoric and misinformation, investigating afresh Cook's behaviour among indigenous peoples.It reveals the Royal Society's orders on dealing with natives, how Cook put them into practice, how he punished sailors who mistreated indigenes. It traces the actions of a humane man, who saw how native communities suffered through contact with Europeans, and was anxious for the future of peoples he befriended.Pointing to how Cook's expeditions were science-focussed, not efforts at a British land-grab, the book exposes as a fiction certain popular tales, and visually unpacks key pictures by John Webber, the illustrator who recorded for perpetuity events on Cook's historic final voyage.This book will challenge what you thought you knew about Captain Cook.Tell me what the Natives of the whole extent of America have gained by the commerce they have had with Europeans? - James CookChristopher Heathcote, author of Drysdale: Defining the Modern Australian Landscape, writes books on historic works of art which illuminate shifting Australian values. He lives on the original track to Victoria's first gold field.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Information on future mortality trends is essential for population forecasts, public health policy, actuarial studies, and many other purposes. Realising the importance of such needs, this volume contains contributions to the theory and practice of forecasting mortality in the relatively favourable circumstances in developed countries of Western Europe. In this context techniques from mathematical statistics and econometrics can provide useful descriptions of past mortality. The naive forecast obtained by extrapolating a fitted model may give as good a forecast as any but forecasting by extrapolation requires careful justification since it assumes the prolongation of historical conditions. On the other hand, whilst it is generally accepted that scientific and other advances will continue to impact on mortality, perhaps dramatically so, it is impossible to quantify more than the outline of future consequences with a strong degree of confidence. The decision to modify an extrapolation of a model fitted to historical data (or conversely choosing not to modify it) in order to obtain a forecast is therefore strongly influenced by subjective and judgmental elements, with the quality of the latter dependent on demographic, epidemiological and indeed perhaps more general considerations. The thread running through the book reflects therefore the necessity of integrating demographic, epidemiological, and statistical factors to obtain an improvement in the prediction of mortality.

Adelaide : Wakefield Press, and Melbourne : Tarrawarra Museum of Art, 2017. Quarto, boards in dustjacket, pp. 106, illustrated in colour throughout.New copy. Discovering Dobell offers an intimate glimpse of William Dobell, the artist whose heart remained anchored in the daily life of everyday people, from the streets of Depression-raked London to Sydney's Kings Cross. Christopher Heathcote demonstrates how Dobell developed ideas from sketches to paintings. In some instances the book identifies previously unknown relationships between drawings, gouaches and important oils. Discovering Dobell features the artist's controversial and recognisable portraits of Joshua Smith, Dame Mary Gilmore and Helena Rubinstein, alongside other vital strands of his output, including affectionate images of grinning ockers, struggling young mothers, cheeky street children at play, and haughty women intent on keeping-up-appearances. This overview is rounded out with Dobell's experimental drawings and paintings from New Guinea, as well as his little-known ventures into abstract form. 'Beautifully presented and lavishly illustrated, this is an intriguing book for art lovers brought to us by the excellent Wakefield Press.' - Lynne Lancaster, Sydney Arts Guide 'Discovering Dobell by Dr Christopher Heathcote is a book of superior quality both in its written content and colourful visual representations.' - Ian Lipke, Queensland Reviewers Collective Christopher Heathcote, one of Australia?s foremost art critics, has written extensively on a broad range of creators ? from Arthur Boyd and Edvard Munch to Virginia Woolf and Michelangelo Antonioni. An authority in twentieth-century culture, he is the author of several books including the highly acclaimed Inside the Art Market: Australia?s galleries 1956?1976, as well as A Quiet Revolution: The rise of Australian art 1946?1968, considered the definitive account of the period. Dr Heathcote has also written several artist monographs, including A Quest for Enlightenment: The art of Roger Kemp and the groundbreaking Russell Drysdale: Defining the modern Australian landscape, which was published jointly by the Tarrawarra Museum of Art and Wakefield Press. He is a regular contributor to the current affairs journal Quadrant.

Melbourne : Macmillan Art Publishing, 2006. Quarto, boards in dustjacket, pp. 256, illustrated. Fine copy, as new. George Johnson arrived in Australia from New Zealand in 1952 and in 1956 held his first exhibition of abstract painting in Melbourne. This book marks the artist's 80th birthday and fifty years of singular dedication to philosophy-based abstract imagery. Johnson's work is uniquely consistent - rarely straying from compositions based on primary shapes and a limited range of colour preferences, but demonstrating how these minimal means can, in combination, serve as surrogates for complex ideas. Additional contributors to the next include the artist's brother, renowned New Zealand poet, Louis Johnson; Australian poet and critic, Gary Catalano and Melbourne philosopher, Patrick Hutchings.
