Small convict stations grew into towns. Pastoralists moved into the Aboriginal hunting grounds. There was conflict; there was violence. But, governments and gentlemen buried the real story of the Vandemonian War for nearly two centuries.The Vandemonian War had many sides and shades. Still, it was fundamentally a war between the British colony of Van Diemen's Land and the Aboriginal people who lived in political and social contradiction to that colony.InThe Vandemonian War, acclaimed history author Nick Brodie now exposes the largely untold story of how the British occupied Van Diemen's Land deploying regimental soldiers and special forces, armed convicts and mercenaries.In the 1820s and 1830s, the British deliberately pushed the Aboriginal people out, driving them to the edge of existence. Far from localised fights between farmers and hunters of popular memory, this was a war of sweeping campaigns and brutal tactics, waged by military and paramilitary forces subject to a Lieutenant Governor who was also Colonel Commanding.The British won the Vandemonian War and then discretely and purposefully concealed it. Historians failed to see through the myths and lies - until now. It is no exaggeration to say that the Aboriginal people of Van Diemen's Land were expatriated from the island. Whole societies were deliberately obliterated. The Vandemonian War was one of the darkest stains on a former empire which arrogantly claimed perpetual sunshine. This is the story of that fight, redrawn from nearly two-centuries-old neglected handwriting. (back cover).

Near fine condition.The Beijing Bureau is a collection of essays revealing the insights of twenty-five Australian foreign correspondents into China, from the 1970s to the present day: the lives of its people, its government and its culture, and what China's rise means for Australia and the world community. China dominates the headlines across the world as the country takes for itself a global role. As governments, businesses and individuals increasingly rely on news reports to make decisions,The Beijing Bureaubrings together Australia's most acclaimed journalists to share their hard-won knowledge of China and stories of life as a correspondent: including Mike Smith, Stan Grant, Stephen McDonell, Rowan Callick and Richard McGregor, reporting for international news outlets like the ABC, The New York Times, the BBC, CNN and more.Vital political and trading relationships are changing - China is flexing its muscles internationally, through the Belt and Road Initiative and trading relationships, through Wolf Warrior diplomacy, and through the control of the diaspora and militarily. At home in China, the country is intensifying its hold and extending patriotism; at the same time, Chinese people are experiencing prosperity unrivalled in their history.With essays that cover a range of subjects and written by journalists who have worked and lived in China,The Beijing Bureau provides readers with a thoughtful perspective of this powerful nation.

SYNOPSIS: The Bond movies remain the longest continually running film series in movie history, and 2012 marks its fiftieth anniversary. While there have been many actors that have taken on the coveted role of James Bond, the most renowned 007 - and the one with most panache and charisma - is undoubtedly Sir Roger Moore, KBE. To celebrate the film franchise's wonderful heritage, Roger Moore has written a book that features all the Bond movies, along with a wonderfully witty account of his own involvement in them. From the girls to the villains, from the cars to the cocktails, from the gadgets to the locations, this beautiful book is illustrated with many iconic images from all the films plus many previously unseen shots. This is the ultimate James Bond book, written by the ultimate James Bond, with all the affection and good humour he brought to the role. It is the perfect gift for all fans of this much-loved series.
