Download or read book Investigating Iwo written by Breanne Robertson and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Investigating Iwo encourages us to explore the connection between American visual culture and World War II, particularly how the image inspired Marines, servicemembers, and civilians to carry on with the war and to remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice to ensure victory over the Axis Powers. Chapters shed light on the processes through which history becomes memory and gains meaning over time. The contributors ask only that we be willing to take a closer look, to remain open to new perspectives that can deepen our understanding of familiar topics related to the flag raising, including Rosenthal's famous picture, that continue to mean so much to us today"--

Download or read book The Best of Colonial Brisbane written by Rod Fisher and published by Boolarong Press. This book was released on 2012-01-09 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Packed inside this unique collection on colonial Brisbane are no less than 22 essays by historian Rod Fisher. Most were published as scattered articles in various formats over 25 years, 3 have never seen the light of day and all are brought up to date. While stepping through the years from 1842-1901 and sometimes further as a continuum, they are grouped under 5 main themes. ‘Occupation’ deals with early settlement, employment and pursuits until the 1860s. That involves the lie of the land including the town, its old windmill, industry, photography, cultural associations and personnel. The next theme of ‘Alienation’ traverses the same years in exposing, as never before, the aboriginal experience and ethnic mix, while taking the formation of the New Church until the early 1880s as an instance of sectarianism. The ‘Separation’ section concerns several historical oversights about 1859: the time-lag in acknowledging Brisbane as the colonial capital; rediscovery of the original proclamation of Queensland; recognition of the role of its prime public servant; and ongoing history of the first colonial flag; as well as the visual means used by a sojourning artist to promote Brisbane’s new-found status in 1864-66. Then ‘Personation’ portrays the rise and fall of 4 ‘representative men’ from early colonial years to the end of the era: an Anglican brewer turned public servant and teacher; English Swedenborgian artist, musician and naturalist; Scottish Presbyterian novelist, merchant and planter; and Irish Catholic building contractor – not forgetting their supportive and long-suffering wives. Going back from the late 1880s to the 1840s and then forward into the next century, the final theme of ‘Location’ examines the iniquities of urban Frogs Hollow, origins of rustic Bulimba, trends in old South Brisbane, controversies of North Brisbane Cemetery later Lang Park, perceptions of Brisbane River and sad saga of Moreton Bay.

Download or read book One Continuous Picnic written by Michael Symons and published by Melbourne Univ. Publishing. This book was released on 2007 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2007 marks the twenty-fifth anniversary of the first publication of One Continuous Picnic, a frequently acclaimed Australian classic on the history of eating in Australia. The text remains gratifyingly accurate and prescient, and has helped to shape subsequent developments in food in Australia. Until recently, historians have tended to overlook eating, and yet, through meat pies and lamingtons, Symons tells the history of Australia gastronomically. He challenges myths such as that Australia is 'too young' for a national cuisine, and that immigration caused the restaurant boom. Symons shows us that Australia is unique because its citizens have not developed a true contact with the land, have not had a peasant society. Australians have enjoyed plenty to eat, but food had to be portable: witness the weekly rations of mutton, flour, tea and sugar that made early settlers a mobile army clearing a whole continent; and the tins of jam, condensed milk, camp pie and bottles of tomato sauce and beer that turned its citizens into early suburbanites. By the time of screw-top riesling, takeaway chicken and frozen puff pastry, Australians were hypnotised consumers, on one continuous picnic. But good food has never come from factory farms, process lines, supermarkets and fast-food chains. Only when we enjoy a diet of fresh, local produce treated with proper respect, when we learn from peasants, might we at last have found a national cuisine and cultivated a continent.
Download or read book Europe and the Maritime World written by Michael B. Miller and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2012-08-20 with total page 453 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Europe and the Maritime World: A Twentieth-Century History offers a framework for understanding globalization over the past century. Through a detailed analysis of ports, shipping and trading companies whose networks spanned the world, Michael B. Miller shows how a European maritime infrastructure made modern production and consumer societies possible. He argues that the combination of overseas connections and close ties to home ports contributed to globalization. Miller also explains how the ability to manage merchant shipping's complex logistics was central to the outcome of both world wars. He chronicles transformations in hierarchies, culture, identities and port city space, all of which produced a new and different maritime world by the end of the century.
Download or read book More Than the Truth written by Ian Ward and published by . This book was released on 2019-08-07 with total page 824 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The inspirational success story of the first 100 years of Hutchinson Builders. What started out as a one-man band in 1912, when an English immigrant builder arrived with his family to start a new life in Australia, has grown into the country's largest privately owned construction company. The Hutchies' story straddles a century that witnessed two world wars, the great depression and tumultuous cycles of financial crises against the back drop of the rough and tumble world of construction. As well as tracking the survival and eventual growth of Hutchies into the dynamic and well respected company of today, the book outlines its evolution through successive generations of Jack Hutchinsons at the helm with a fifth generation poised to take on that role. That story is told by way of a historical account as well as captured through the republication and inclusion of every back issue of "Hutchies' Truth", the company's colourful, tabloid-style newsletter covering those years.

Download or read book Harvest of the Suburbs written by Andrea Gaynor and published by ISBS. This book was released on 2006 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Drawing on sources ranging from gardening books and magazines to statistics and oral history, Harvest of the suburbs challenges some widespread myths about food production in Australian cities, and traces the reasons for its enduring popularity. It describes changing attitudes and techniques, and explores the relationship between food production and a range of contemporary ideas relating to work, social organisation, gender roles, health and the body, and nature. In doing so, it provides new insights into the tension between the quest for independence and the desire for interdependence in suburban Australia." --book cover.
