AU$150.00 Read MoreAdd to cartTeruyoshi Hayashida; Shiro Itoh
Tokyo: Banraisha, 2011.The sequel to the classic 1965 fashion photography book, Take Ivy, which was responsible for the rise of Ivy League fashion in Japan, and influenced designers globally to this day. The images in Take 8 Ivy, show the development of student fashion at Harvard, Yale, Pennsylvania, Princeton, Columbia, Brown, Dartmouth, and Cornell, from the iconic Ivy League look of the 1960s into a looser, more homogenised American campus style of the 1970s, reflecting the dilution of regional Ivy codes into a broader, mass-market student uniform.

Western Australian Exploration, 1836-1845
AU$110.00 Read MoreAdd to cartMarion Hercock; Sheryl Milentis; Phil Bianchi
Perth: Hesperian Press, 2011.The Western Australian Explorers’ Diaries Project, incorporating the Historical Records of Western Australia: The Letters, Reports & Journals of Exploration and Discovery in Australia. “During the years 1836-1845, the settlements of Albany, Perth, Fremantle and York expanded as immigrants arrived in search of new pastures and other resources. The search for resources, the development of roads between remote settlements, and scientific enquiry provided the impetus for further exploration and discovery in Western Australia in that period. One hundred reports of expeditions of exploration in colonial Western Australia have been annotated, summarised and indexed in Western Australian Exploration 1936-1845. The reports are complemented by expert analyses of native plant species, native animal species and the relations between Aboriginal people and the explorers. This volume in the Western Australian Exploration Diaries series is the companion to Western Australian Exploration Volume 1 1826-1835 and Evidences of an Inland Sea.” (from jacket)

Triumphs and Tragedies: Oombulgurri, An Australian Aboriginal Community
AU$35.00 Read MoreAdd to cartNeville Green
Perth: Hesperian Press, 2011.“Oombulgurri emerged from the remnants of Forrest River Mission to become one of the first independent Indigenous communities in Australia. During its 97 years its people have participated in events that captured national headlines; the search for the Southern Cross, the rescue of the crew of a German seaplane, reports of a massacre that sparked a Royal Commission, their service as guides to an elite military force preparing for the anticipated Japanese invasion of Australia and, in recent years, the community’s decline into poverty, depression and suicide. Sixty percent of the school children of 1967 are now dead. The missionaries and most of those they served are gone and so too is the lifestyle of that not so distant past, but in these pages we discover how church and government policies and failures shaped the present and the small achievements of Aboriginal people are soon lost in yet another wave of policies and practices that are presumed to be good for ‘them’. Neville Green is a Western Australian author specialising in Aboriginal history and between 1967, when he was a government teacher at Forrest River Mission, and 2006, he interviewed and corresponded with many people linked to the community to discover the heart and soul of Oombulgurri. Triumphs and Tragedies, his tenth book, is a story of lost innocence in a remote Australian community set amidst the raw beauty of the Kimberley.” (publisher’s blurb)

Aboriginal Australian and Tasmanian Rock Carvings and Paintings with a Preliminary Consideration of Aboriginal Australian Decorative Art
AU$120.00 Read MoreAdd to cartDaniel Sutherland Davidson
Perth: Hesperian Press, 2011.Originally published in 1937 and 1937 in Proceedings of the American Philosophical Society. “Davidson was the most important ethnographer of his time and his reputation for the quality and quantity of work produced is unmatched. In 1937 F.D. McCarthy described the 1936 volume as “the first monograph of aboriginal rock carvings and paintings”. All subsequent students of Aboriginal Art owe a debt to Davidson’s work. Not only do the volumes extensively cover the rock engravings and paintings but discuss in detail techniques and styles of decoration, on weapons, baskets and containers, pearl shells, baobab nuts, tree carvings, grave posts, bullroarers, churingas, waningas and many others objects. The symbolism and distribution of design elements and originating areas are also discussed. This is an essential volume for anyone with an interest, scientific, aesthetic, or commercial, in Aboriginal art and artifacts.” (publisher’s blurb)

Refocus: Dragon 2010-2011
AU$100.00 Read MoreAdd to cartWang Chuan
Beijing: Pekin Fine Arts, 2011.“Published on the occasion of Wang Chuan’s second solo exhibition ‘Refocus: Dragon’ at Pekin Fine Arts, Beijing, April to May 2011. This exhibition is also part of Caochangdi Photospring 2011. Wang takes a contrarian approach to digital photography by enlarging the pixels and making them obvious to the viewer in order to draw attention to overlooked details of Beijing’s landscape. ‘In Refocus: Dragon, Wang demonstrates a simple enough premise: The dragon is still everywhere in Beijing; its portrait shows up in the oddest and most unexpected places.[…] Wang’s works implicitly question how these dragon legends play out on a contemporary stage. Wang shows us, using his impressionistic pixels, a variety of places where he recently “discovered” dragons still alive and kicking, lodged deeply in the psyche of local people around Beijing.’ (from foreword by Meg Maggio) Includes an essay by Gu Zheng and artist statement by Wang Chuan. Artist biography and list of works provided. Chinese text is printed in a separate booklet attached.” (publisher’s blurb). This copy inscribed by the photographer.
