Captain Cook Was Here

Hardback

Author: Maria Nugent

Customer Order Reference:

DoP May 2009, Australia
234x156mm 208pp
Hardcover

This book is a dramatic and lively account of the encounters between Captain Cook, his crew and the Indigenous people of Australia during the Endeavour's first landing at Botany Bay, on Australia's east coast in 1770. These encounters were marked by poise, fragility, humanity, intrigue, fear, confusion and regret. The book brings together for the first time all the known surviving objects collected, and all the visual material produced, during Cook's time on shore, and incorporates them into the history told.

The story about cross-cultural encounters in 1770 is complemented by stories told to them in art, word and performance by both Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal Australians over two centuries or more. The book includes a rich store of historical and contemporary visual images, which are used to show the way in which the meanings and interpretations of these encounters have ... more

Strange as it may seem, the long wake of the tiny HMS Beagle stretches from the nineteenth century into the future of our globe. Charles Darwin spent only three months in Australia, but Australasia and the Pacific contributed to his evolutionary thinking in a variety of ways. One hundred and fifty years after the publication of On the Origin of Species the internationally acclaimed authors of In the Wake of the Beagle provide new insights into the world of collecting, surveying and cross-cultural exchange in the antipodes in the age of Darwin.

They explore the groundbreaking work of Darwin and his contemporaries Joseph Hooker, Thomas Huxley and Alfred Wallace, examine the complex trading relationships of the regions daring voyagers, and take a very modern look at todays cutting-edge scientific research, at a time when global warming has raised the stakes to an unprecedented ... more

Japan's Whaling: the politics of culture in historical perspective ( HARDCOVER)

NZ$ 210.00 each

Hardback

Author: Hiroyuki Watanabe

Customer Order Reference:

Dop January 2009, Australia
A5/222pp

Hiroyuki Watanabe investigates how the numerous relationships between people and whales in Japan become reduced to he single relationship of killing whales for their meat. He argues that from the introduction of Norwegian whaling technology at the end of the 19th century through to the end of the Second World War, Japanese whaling was closely bound to Japanese imperialism. Dr Watanabe also questions the assertion that whaling is 'traditional Japanese culture' and demonstrates how the same whaling discourse that in the past drove some whale species to the brink of extinction, today continues to fuel the rhetoric of the Japanese whaling debate.

Softcover

This beautifully produced book tells the story of Queenie McKenzie, a remarkable indigenous woman from the remote East Kimberley in Western Australia. Now deceased, Queenie was an important cultural leader, revered Aboriginal Law person and internationally acclaimed artist.

Written in the Land: The Life of Queenie McKenzie explores her personal story and that of her ‘country’ through her own words and stunning images, including those of her art. Queenie used her artistic works to teach others about her vibrant culture and her life, and as a way to inspire interest in the special and dynamic relationship her people have with the land. The social history of Queenie’s community and their relationship with the Argyle mine is also documented in this book.
