Paperback. Etat : Very Good. In the second decade of the twenty-first century, the crusade against sugar rose to prominence as an urgent societal problem about which something needed to be done. Sugar was transformed into the common enemy in a revived ?war on obesity? levelled at ?unhealthy? foods and the people who enjoy them. Are the evils of sugar based on purely scientific fact, or are other forces at play?Sugar rush explores the social life of sugar in its rise to infamy. The book reveals how competing understandings of the ?problem? of sugar are smoothed over through appeals to science and the demonization of fatness, with politics and popular culture preying on our anxieties about what we eat. Drawing on journalism, government policy, public health campaigns, self-help books, autobiographies and documentaries, the book argues that this rush to blame sugar is a phenomenon of its time, finding fertile ground in the era of austerity and its attendant inequalities. Inviting readers to resist the comforting certainties of the attack on sugar, Sugar rush shows how this actually represents a politics of despair, entrenching rather than disrupting the inequality-riddled status quo.…

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. On 13 March 2013, at the National Press Club in Canberra, Arts Minister Simon Crean launched Creative Australia, the countrys first comprehensive cultural policy statement since Paul Keatings Creative Nation almost twenty years earlier. It was soon buried by the incoming Abbott Government. Since then cultural policy, and more specifically arts policy, and its instrument the Australia Council, have been blown back and forth by the winds of change. Where do we stand now?Throsby argues that Australias cultural identity remains a contestable issue. The economic impact of our immigrant population has strengthened visibly and carried our changing culture into distant parts of the world. Artists and performers reflect this in their work. At the same time the role of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture in defining Australia's cultural identity continues to be of fundamental significance. Questions of who we are as a country and where we are heading remain important matters for public discussion. We dont need another cultural policy document just yet, he says, but we do need to invigorate the national debate.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. It wasn't just one person who went missing, it was two people. Two very different people. They were there, and then they were gone, as if through a crack in the sky. After that, in a small town like Goodwood, where we had what Nan called 'a high density of acquaintanceship', everything stopped. Or at least it felt that way. The normal feeling of things stopped.Goodwood is a small town where everyone knows everything about everyone. It's a place where it's impossible to keep a secret.In 1992, when Jean Brown is seventeen, a terrible thing happens. Two terrible things. Rosie White, the coolest girl in town, vanishes overnight. One week later, Goodwood's most popular resident, Bart McDonald, sets off on a fishing trip and never comes home.People die in Goodwood, of course, but never like this. They don't just disappear.As the intensity of speculation about the fates of Rosie and Bart heightens, Jean, who is keeping secrets of her own, and the rest of Goodwood are left reeling.Rich in character and complexity, its humour both droll and tender, Goodwood is a compelling ride into a small community, torn apart by dark rumours and mystery. A delightful novel of secrets and small town obsessions from Australian musician and songwriter, Holly Throsby. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. 'This is a masterful novel.readers who loved Goodwood will find even more to love here.' Books + Publishing on Cedar Valley'So much truth, so much aching and pain by humour. What a wonderful book. I can see the Australian novelist continuum from Patrick White and Thea Astley in her explicit representation of the character of Australians in regional towns. Others have compared Throsby with Tim Winton. I hope she is writing another book.' Lindy Morrison in LoudMouth on Goodwood'Stunning.a distinctly Australian coming-of-age story.balancing carefully evoked dread with genuine warmth, it's an assured and singular debut.' The Big Issue on Goodwood'He strolled down Valley Road, only briefly, past the hairdresser and a small cafe. A warm wind stirred, carrying with it the faint smell of pies and horses, and the man paused for just a moment before he sat down. Benny Miller would have driven right past him in her station wagon on that bright and brimming day.'On the first day of summer in 1993, two strangers arrive in the town of Cedar Valley. One is a calm looking man in a brown suit. He makes his way down the main street and walks directly to Cedar Valley Curios Old Wares, sitting down on the footpath, where he leans silently against the big glass window for hours. The other is 21-year-old Benny Miller. Fresh out of university, Benny has come to Cedar Valley in search of information about her mother, Vivian, who has recently died. Vivian's mysterious old friend, Odette Fisher, has offered Benny her modest pale green cottage for as long as she wants it. Is there any connection between the man on the pavement and Benny's quest to learn more about her mother? Holly Throsby is the perfect guide as Cedar Valley and its inhabitants slowly reveal their secrets.Praise for Goodwood: 'The kind of big-hearted, emotionally bruising story that reminds you why you love fiction. Goodwood is many things: a satisfying and conscientiously constructed mystery, an affectionate but clear-eyed portrait of a time and a place, and a darkly lovely coming of age story. But most of all, it's a complete revelation, the conjuring up of a sad, beautiful, indelible little world of its own' - The Sydney Morning Herald'It has been a while since I lost a weekend to a debut novel. There is so much to enjoy about this book; my tip is that it will become a firm book club favourite. Five stars!' - Good Reading Magazine 'This is a masterful novel.readers who loved Goodwood will find even more to love here.'

Paperback. Etat : Very Good. Cultural policy is changing. Traditionally, cultural policies have been concerned with providing financial support for the arts, for cultural heritage and for institutions such as museums and galleries. In recent years, around the world, interest has grown in the creative industries as a source of innovation and economic dynamism. This book argues that an understanding of the nature of both the economic and the cultural value created by the cultural sector is essential to good policy-making. The book is the first comprehensive account of the application of economic theory and analysis to the broad field of cultural policy. It deals with general principles of policy-making in the cultural arena as seen from an economic point of view, and goes on to examine a range of specific cultural policy areas, including the arts, heritage, the cultural industries, urban development, tourism, education, trade, cultural diversity, economic development, intellectual property and cultural statistics.…
