Soft cover. Zustand: Near Fine. 1st Edition. A very good clean copy. World War II gave rise to some of history's most gripping stories of courage and heroism. Some of the rescues recounted in this book involve 'the greatest generation'; the soldiers, sailors and airmen who risked all for their brothers and sisters in arms. Others concern civilians who hid Jews in their homes or helped Allied soldiers trapped behind enemy lines. Common to all are the deep reserves of courage and humanity that led ordinary men and women to risk, and even sacrifice, their lives in order to rescue those in mortal danger. Illustrated with captivating photographs, Great Rescues of World War II is a beautifully presented and inspirational testament to bravery and human kindness.…

FISHES OCEANOGRAPHY - Ecology - Conservation - Marine Life -It is a disturbing reality that many people believe the oceans of our planet are largely devoid of life and ecological significance. Where in fact the oceans are the great unexamined ecological crisis of our planet. Globally they cover 71 per cent of the planet's surface and contain 90 per cent of the mass of life on Earth. While tremendous attention and money have been invested to saving the ecosystems of our land animals and plants, the gradual deterioration of ocean life has been happening in secret. Scientists are just beginning to piece together the growing crisis beneath the waves and its implications for future life on this planet. Seasick is the first book to take the scattered pieces of this scientific puzzle and bring them into a cohesive story. It will change the way people understand the global ocean. As go the oceans, so goes the planet . . . 239 p. ; 24 cm.

Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Edition. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. At the age of nineteen, Don Tate volunteered for duty in the Vietnam War, intent on proving his worth as a man and escaping the burdens of a troubled family and grinding poverty on the semi-rural outskirts of Brisbane. This is his story - of the trouble-strewn path to manhood in the shadow of his father, a violent petty criminal, surviving horrific war injuries and years of hospitalisation, and struggling to find a place in a society that did not want to recognise his military service for his country and seemed intent on excluding him.…

Softcover. Zustand: AS NEW COPY. AUSTRALIANA - This is an exploration, and a celebration, of Australia's most creative figures - our bohemians, from Marcus Clarke through to the twenty-first century - and it is a must-read for everyone interested in our counter culture.In the nineteenth century, the word bohemians initially conjured the primitive, exotic and mysterious power of gypsies, but in a few short years would be used to describe any nomadic or vagabond character - with strong overtones of poverty and even criminality. In Australia, bohemians have been associated with subcultures, and movements across most creative arts and media for more than 150 years. Our cities spawned networks of poets, painters, novelists, journalists, philosophers, actors, filmmakers, comedians and hackers as famous for their controversial, eccentric lifestyles as for the work they produced. Dancing with Empty Pockets is an exploration, and a celebration, of Australiaâs most creative figures - our bohemians, from Marcus Clarke through to the twenty-first century - and it is a must-read for everyone interested in our counter culture.âDr Moore takes us down our historyâs back streets after midnight in search of our bohemian past; his prose as witty, ironic and entertaining as many of the characters he finds lurking there.â-Graeme BlundellâDrunken debauchery, anarchist bookstores, sirens in skin-tight clothing and rituals with human skulls.

Softcover. Zustand: Near Fine. AUSTRALIAN MILITARY - "Many were Anzac heroes. Some were criminals. Some were both."Australiaâs long-standing love affair with the Diggers has blinded us to the dark side of the Anzac legend.Bad Characters is a book that will do something no other book has tried to do. It will tell the story of the Australian soldiers in the Great War who were not heroes: soldiers who committed offences and crimes; those who malingered, deserted, robbed and murdered their comrades; those who took part in riots, strikes and mutiny.The term âbad charactersâ was used by the army to refer to those who caused unrest or were disobedient: their crimes ranged from avoiding battle, absenteeism, desertion, disobedience and self-inflicting wounds and contracting venereal disease, to the more extreme charges of murder and mutiny.Bad Characters travels from the outbreak of the war through the agonising course of the conflict to its end and beyond, to the memory of the larrikin Digger that has survived in folklore and anecdote to this day. The AIFâs first and greatest historian Charles Bean thought that the finest tribute we could pay to the men that he knew was to tell their story straight.Based on extensive research, Peter Stanleyâs honest, unflinching, humane and respectful book recounts dramatic, and often tragic, stories of the AIFâs dark side, many for the first time, and in doing blends âtrue crimeâ with âwar historyâ. More importantly, it fosters a truer understanding of who these men were, what they did in the war, and what this terrible war did to them.First Edition. 287 p. : ill., ports. ; 24 cm. #270426R World War, 1914-1918 -- Participation, Australian Military offenses -- Australia -- History -- 1914-1918 Military deserters -- Australia -- History -- 1914-1918 Military discipline -- Australia -- History -- 1914-1918 World War, 1914-1918 -- Destruction and pillage Elizabeth's Bookshops have been one of Australia's premier independent book dealers since 1973.
