A critique of the Teachers Federation and public education in NSW. Matt Kennett's Alpha Books study traces the profession's ambivalent status, government links, and the struggle for wage and policy influence. It blends history with federation politics, offering a primary source on industrial education history.
The piece surveys The Return of the Vanishing American by Leslie Fiedler and The Australia Myths anthology edited by John Barnes. It critiques Fiedler’s American myth thesis and Barnes’s Australian criticism, praising ambition but faulting overreach and omissions while noting archetypal readings, Westerns, and the place of myth in literature.
A 1910s tone critique surveys Michael Thwaites and Margot Clare poetry. It judges Thwaites harshly for overblown diction and nationalism while noting Margot Clare’s sincere belief yet overreaching imagery and overdependence on predecessors.
A long critical essay on Veronica Lake and the celebrity culture surrounding her career. It explores public and private life, Hollywood machinery, and the author Michael Blakemore's perspective on fame, aging stars, and the entertainment industry. The piece cites Lake's real name, career milestones, marriages, and the tension between glamour and reality.
Irene Dowsing’s Curtin biography is praised for insight but criticized as simplistic and one sided. The critique notes reliance on speeches and journalism, a weak chronology, and a prefatory jab at political figures. The reviewer questions the book’s value for serious politics students and mocks the author’s tone.
A review of two children's non fiction titles in World’s Work Trade Route series. The Money Trees by George Masselman explores Dutch spice trade origins with vivid incident driven text, while Frontiers of Fortune by Donald Honig attempts a brisk North American trade history but overfills with names and dates. Both are illustrated and aimed at older children, with limited home library value.
A long, fragmented excerpt discusses Australian seashores, agriculture, and national industry. It references fields like agriculture, seaworthy exploration, and a workshop on agricultural problems in Australia. Specific titles and authors appear, indicating a report or book discussion on pastoral and coastal development.
