Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the City of Adelaide: From the Foundation of the Province of South Australia in 1836, to the End of the Municipal Year 1877, With Appendix and Map The scope and object of this work are to attempt to elucidate the origin and progress of this City, with a view to deserve the attention of the citizens, and the Author ventures to hope that the work will not be without interest to some of the class of general readers. The student of the history of this Province finds his enquiries continually directed to the effects of corporate rights and interests, and their influence on the inhabitants of the City, as well as on the public generally, and in no point are these topics unworthy of careful investigation, or of the notice of the public at large. In the work now submitted to the public, the Author has felt how impossible it has been to accomplish his objects without, to some extent, reviewing historically the rise and progress of the Province, especially in the earlier period of its existence, and in its relative connection with the history of the City, for the legislative power of the Crown (as shown in the policy of the Governors) was then absolute, differing materially from its power in Imperial legislation, or after the establishment of Responsible Government in the Province. He also feels that at times he appears too digressive, but this was hardly to be avoided in the attempt to display the various and changing interests which have affected the City. His object has been to supply easilv accessible information to such as are most concerned in attaining it; but neither to them nor to the general reader can he profess to offer other entertainment than what attends the rational pursuit of useful knowledge. It may be observed that the greatest part of the information contained in the following pages is not to be found in a compiled form elsewhere, it having been collated from various sources, although a large portion of it necessarily consists of extracts from the Municipal Records, and is given in this form to the public to throw light on the local history of the City, and, as far as possible, with the means at his command, a distinct view is given of the successive changes which have occurred, and he commends it to the candid consideration of the historical enquirer.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A History of South Australia investigates South Australia's history from before the arrival of the first European maritime explorers to the present day, and examines its distinctive origins as a 'free' settlement. In this compelling and nuanced history, Paul Sendziuk and Robert Foster consider the imprint of people on the land - and vice versa - and offer fresh insights into relations between Indigenous people and the European colonisers. They chart South Australia's economic, political and social development, including the advance and retreat of an interventionist government, the establishment of the state's distinctive socio-political formations, and its relationship to the rest of Australia and the world. The first comprehensive, single-volume history of the state to be published in over fifty years, A History of South Australia is an essential and engaging contribution to our understanding of South Australia's past.

Book excerpt: They call Adelaide the City of Churches. What they forget is that every church has a graveyard and every graveyard is full of skeletons. Welcome to Adelaide, a city where transvestite, pro-wrestling truck drivers are beheaded and dismembered by lesbian prostitutes; where husbands stab and mutilate their wives and are forgiven; where former psychiatrists transform into delusional assassins and murder their co-workers in cold blood. We trust you'll enjoy your stay. In this compelling collection of true-crime stories, award-winning journalist Sean Fewster guides the reader through the darkest excesses of the City of Churches. He goes beyond the high-profile cases you know already. These are the crimes that happen in Adelaide every week - the bizarre, the unbalanced, the warped. No crime is committed in the southern capital without a macabre twist, an uncomfortable and disconcerting surprise worthy of a splatter film or suspense thriller. Truth is stranger than fiction and these are the everyday horror stories of South Australia.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The material world of European settlement in Australia has been uncovered not only by historians but also by the work of archaeologists. These archaeological inquiries have revealed new pictures of the public and private lives of Australians at home and at work. This book, previously published as a hardback under the title Of the Hut I Builded,now in paperback, presents the insights gained from such investigations and makes them available to a wide audience. Historical archaeology is broad ranging and this book discusses the first European towns, including those settlements that failed, the archaeological traces left by the convicts, and archaeological evidence of the agricultural, maritime, industrial, and manufacturing activities of early Australia. Graham Connah also examines the evidence of earliest contact between Europeans and Aboriginal people.
