Storming Heaven: LSD And The American Dream
AU$30.00 Read MoreAdd to cartJay Stevens
New York: Grove Press, 1998.“For Aldous Huxley it was the next step in human evolution; for the CIA it was a potential tool for mind control; for Timothy Leary it was the liberator of humankind (a belief that led to his being branded “the most dangerous man in America”); for Ken Kesey and his Merry Pranksters it fueled the notorious Acid Tests; and it was the improbable common denominator that united such disparate figures as Allen Ginsberg, Cary Grant, G. Gordon Liddy, and Charles Manson. In this brilliant, riveting, and exhaustively researched book, Jay Stevens relates the history of that “curious molecule,” LSD. He unearths a story of Pynchonesque complexity, tells it with novelistic flair, and irrefutably demonstrates LSD’s pivotal role in the cultural upheavals that shook America in the 1960s and changed the country forever.” (publisher’s blurb)

The Australind Journals of Marshall Waller Clifton, 1840-1861
AU$110.00 Read MoreAdd to cartPhyllis Barnes; J. M. R. Cameron; H. A. Willis; Marshall Waller Clifton
Perth: Hesperian Press, 2010.“Marshall Waller Clifton, Fellow of the Royal Society, Royal Geographical Society, and former Secretary of the Royal Navy’s Victualling Board, was Chief Commissioner for the small agricultural colony of Australind. This settlement, on Leschenault Inlet on Australia’s south-western coast, was formed in 1840 by a group of systematic coloniser supporters of Edward Gibbon Wakefield. To keep them informed of his activities, Clifton maintained a detailed daily account that he commenced on 1 December 1840, the day he left England. Unlike its sister colonies in South Australia and New Zealand, the Wakefield-inspired venture in Western Australia did not succeed. Australind failed within three years. Clifton, although freed from having to report to London-based shareholders, maintained his practice of daily journal writing and did so until six days before his death in 1861. The result is a vivid and detailed portrait of life in a small and remote agricultural settlement on the edge of the British Empire. Clifton is an intelligent and insightful, if somewhat haughty, observer of people, events and places. His observations and reflections will appeal to a wide audience because he was heavily involved in colonial life through the activities of his large family and as local magistrate, Legislative Councillor and leading land-holder and horticulturalist. His garden at Australind was much admired, he was a pioneer of Western Australia’s wine industry, one of the first to export local produce through the port of Bunbury, and a major employer of convict labour. Clifton’s Australind Journals are published here for the first time, annotated and comprehensively indexed to make them more accessible and useful for modern readers.” (publisher’s blurb)

Woodlines of Western Australia: A Comprehensive History of the Goldfields Woodlines
AU$90.00 Read MoreAdd to cartPhil Bianchi
Perth: Hesperian Press, 2018.“Without a source of cheap energy to fuel steam boilers and for ore treatment, only the Western Australian mines with rich ore would have been productive. Firewood companies established privately owned train lines up to 120 miles out from major centres such as Kalgoorlie to bring in firewood. Although the Kurrawang and Lakewood woodlines are the main feature of this book; other woodlines included Lakeside south of Boulder, Kurramia/Kanowna, Cue, Laverton, Gwalia and Westonia. Firewood cutters, carters and loaders from war torn Europe, came to Australia seeking a better life; they lived in hessian walled basic camps with earthen floors and a tin roof. The book features 22 first-hand accounts of the hardships faced by woodliners working, living and growing up on the woodlines. Many a wife and family joining the husband after a few years were shocked at the conditions; suffering flies, heat, cold, loneliness, maggots in meat and poor quality drinking water. Between 1900 and 1964 a total of 21.6 million tons of firewood had been cut; during 1912-16 average production was 650,000 tons per year. By the time the firewood companies ceased operations they had clear-felled a staggering 3.04 million hectares of goldfields woodlands; almost half the area of Tasmania. Other woodline topics discussed include: racism, riots, internment, exploitation and bribery, shanties, sports days, strikes and deaths and accidents.” (publisher’s blurb)
