Hes been quietly in love with her since they were children, holding his tongue because he knew she would never be able to marry and leave her family behind. Hed assumed that this state of affairs was permanent, and had been busy fending off his sisters attempts at marrying him off when Elizabeth tells him shes in need of a husband and he impulsively offers her his hand in marriage. No, his problem is that he cant tell her that hes actually marrying her for love - after all, she believes its a matter of convenience, and if he confessed his true feelings, it would throw their whole relationship off-balance.

The length of the working day and the challenges of worklife balance are pressing issues for many Australians, as well as lively matters of public controversy. While the winning of the eight-hour day is celebrated as a past industrial achievement, contemporary discussions of working hours often overlook its rich history. Tracing 150 years of campaigns for rights and for the fair distribution of productivity gains, historian Sean Scalmer shows how these movements successfully reduced the length of the standard working week from 60 to 38 hours per week, and how economic, social and political shifts since the early 1980s have stalled this long-term progress. Today, industrial laws provide inadequate protection for excessive hours, and Australian women increasingly shoulder long hours of paid work with the bulk of unpaid domestic labour. This has produced a social crisis for all Australians, but is yet to inspire adequate political action. As debate over our working lives intensifies amid ongoing political, economic and technological challenges, Scalmers labour of love on the history of work and play affords us a way to understand the past so we can win back our timecollectively.

The 21st-century father is expected to be actively engaged in the everyday care of his children, as epitomised by the celebrated dad of childrens cartoon Bluey, the Blue Heeler Bandit. Fathering: An Australian History explores why men often struggle to meet social and cultural expectations. The authors groundbreaking research reveals the forces that have shaped Australian family life and fathering since the early twentieth century, and how Australian fathers have managed the evolving role and its responsibilities. Focusing on lived experience and drawing upon a century of personal accounts, Fathering shows how fathers have participated in raising their children as the world changed their family roles and the relationships they form with their children. It reveals how the experience of being a father is as much shaped by social class and material wellbeing as it is by race and ethnicity, geography and sexuality, and by family legacy and personal character. The first comprehensive history of Australian fathering, Fathering transforms our understanding of mens experience of parenthood, showing how fathers from diverse backgrounds, including migrant and Indigenous dads, have negotiated their role in changing circumstances.

The history of the First Tasmanians is a story of ingenuity, adaptation and resilience. In First Tasmanians historian Shayne Breen traces the 40,0000 years of Aboriginal exploration, land settlement, hunting practices and controlled burning on the island. The First Tasmanians were committed to the terms of life set down by creation ancestors, their hunting and gathering skills a source of wonder to observant colonists. These skilled practitioners of land management universally respected local autonomy, and their seasonal journeys enhanced social interaction as they negotiated momentous changes in climate, vegetation and topography. Social cohesion was fostered through singing, dancing and storytelling around the evening campfire, and rituals and networks were maintained across life on earth and the afterlife. In thirty short years of the nineteenth century, this carefully nurtured collective life was destroyed by an imperial power, to be replaced by a narrative of Aboriginal resistance, struggle and protest. Multiple genocidal policies left contemporary First Tasmanians with a complex legacy of historical grief, chronic disadvantage and intergenerational trauma, a legacy that endures to this day.First Tasmanians is the first interdisciplinary account of Tasmanian Aboriginal history told in three movements: the deep hunter-gatherer past; the collective life at the time of the British invasion; and the recent past. It is a story of courage, continuity and an unwavering commitment to revitalising connections between country, culture and community.
