William
Sorell in Van Diemen's Land
by Leonie Mickleborough |
Paperback
$9.95 |
Most
accounts of the history of Van Diemen's Land have skipped
rather lightly over the years in which Colonel William Sorell
was Lieutenant-Governor, but the years 1817-1824 were when
the colony began its growth spurt, and it was Sorell who was
the first to deal with the rapid increase in the numbers of
free settlers and convicts. That he was popular in the
colony is certain, and he also pleased his superiors in London.
But Sorell was recalled mid-term; not for poor performance
but as a consequence of his personal life. The woman
who accompanied him to Hobart Town as "Mrs. Sorell"
was in fact the wife of a fellow officer. His own wife,
and their children, had been abandoned in London. |

Thylacine
by David Owens |
Hardback
$35.00 |
| Thousands
of Australians, including serious scientists, claim to see the
Thylacine, supposedly extinct. The world's largest marsupial
predator was deliberately hunted to extinction through fear,
ignorance and greed. Now, the myth of the Tasmanian Tiger
continues to grow. It is so treasured that it has become
the official logo of the island which wiped it out, and a symbol
of the conservation movement world-wide. Perhaps the Tasmanian
Tiger is still with us. And if it's not, can it be brought
back to life by cloning?

The
Bay Whalers
by
Michael Nash |
Hardback
$34.95
|
| The
history of European settlement in Australia is closely linked with the development of primary
industries such as whaling. The killing of whales for
the oil and baleen played a particularly significant role in
the economic growth of Tasmania , with the first shore-based whaling station in
operation within two years of the colonists' arrival on the
Derwent river. Whaling
was a dangerous and dirty work, requiring 'men who will pull
together, without swearing and quarrelling and fighting and
knocking off duty whenever they take it into their heads'.
This book follows the fortunes of the whalers as they pursued
their quarry around the coasts of Tasmania
and south-eastern Australia . |

On
the Tide: Stories of the Tamar
On
the Tide 2: More Stories of the Tamar
Edited
by Peter Richardson |
Paperback
$24.95 and $34.95
|
| From
European settlement in 1804 to today the Tamar's shores have
joined - and separated - the people along its shores.
The community's daily drama of adventure and mishap has been
played out on and beside it. The excitement, the horror,
the humour and the quite round of everyday events that make
up the story of life on the Tamar are a vital part of our local
history. These volumes tell some of the tales which make
up the story of the Tamar. |

The
Usurper: Jorgen Jorgenson and his turbulent life in Iceland
and Van Diemen's Land 1780-1841
by Dan Sprod |
Hardback
$98.00 |
The
Usurper relates the story of Jorgen Jorgenson’s strange
and turbulent life in Iceland and Van Diemen’s Land, 1780-1841.
In Van Diemen’s Land Jorgenson wrote A Shred of autobiography
in which he placed himself in the best possible light and
made claims which cannot be substantiated.
Most
writings about Jorgenson have been based on A Shred and hence
an accretion of romanticism has been built up around his name.
The Usurper however is a documentary history. This approach
not only corrects past fanciful accounts of Jorgen Jorgenson’s
activities but the factual account of his life published here
exceeds in interest the semi-fictional accounts previously
given. |

Walk
into History in Southern Tasmania
by David Leaman |
Paperback
$29.95 |
| This
unique book combines David Leaman's understanding of the geology
of Southern Tasmania with his wider interest in history. The
blend is an affectionate, readable, and penetrating view of
things we take for granted. The book is full of interesting
titbits of information unified by place and history.
The
book contains 65 walks or essays which bring out the special
features of the place - some very familiar. Arm chair walkers
will find the notes informative, often controversial, and
of practical value. Real walkers can check out the beauty
which hides both the past and the issues. |

The
Rock Which Makes Tasmania
by David Leaman |
Paperback
$31.95 |
Dolerite
has the power to amaze, confuse, enslave and ultimately to
become 'Tasmania's Curse'. It makes the images beloved
by tourists, but its impact on the daily lives and taxes of
Tasmanians has not been fully realised. The economic
future of Tasmania, Leaman argues, depends upon how we deal
with this rock. This book is for every Tasmanian, and
any geologist or engineer who wishes to work with dolerite
or needs to know the current state of our knowledge of it.
Leaman uses almost forty years of experience to assemble a
plain language, technically sound outline.
