Melbourne: Australian Scholarly Publishing. 2019. MINT - a NEW copy. Colour and black & white illustrations. The discolouration at the spine edge in the picture is actually part of the cover not a flaw. 268 pages. The southern hemisphere is mainly land. So said medieval Europeans, raised on a heady brew of folklore, biblical revelation and geographical theory. It is how they imagined it. This belief led to the history of southern maritime exploration being one of frustration, deception, and self-deception. This book tells the story of the inventors who sent the dream abroad and the discoverers who brought reality home. Robust, professional packaging and tracking provided for all parcels. .

Description:
North Melbourne: Australian Scholarly Publishing. 2017. MINT - a NEW copy. Illustrated with Colour and Black & White Photographs. 317 pages. In the 1970s-1990s, with limited material resources, an abundance of originality and style, and seemingly unlimited creative energy, a group of young people helped transform the cultural landscape of inner Sydney. They recast the image of Australian fashion, linked with fashion and identity politics, established the‘look’ of the Sydney Gay Mardi Gras, and reclaimed the urban. Sally Gray describes a restlessly creative, culturally influential group of friends and collaborators as they moved to and from Melbourne, Paris, Sydney, London, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, New York, and places in between. Four friends in particular form her central narrative: fashion designers Jenny Kee and Linda Jackson and artists Peter Tully and David McDiarmid. Their creative trajectories and interactions, their collaborations, passion and politics,… Read More
