Summary

"Rise of Film" explores the transformative journey of film photography, highlighting its profound impact on society, culture, and individual expression. This exploration encompasses the evolution of photographic technology, the democratization of image-making, and the shaping of historical narratives. The book uncovers how film photography revolutionized visual culture, enabling ordinary people to document their lives and challenge established norms.

    The truth about the bloody battles fought to establish a nation 
     
    For the first time, The Australian Wars brings what for too long has been considered the historical past into connection with its reverberations in the present. 
     
    It is estimated up to 100,000 people died in the frontier wars that raged across Australia for more than 150 years. This is equivalent to the combined total of all Australians killed in foreign battles to date. But there are few memorials marking these first, domestic wars. 
     
    The Australian Wars was conceived by Rachel Perkins following her award-winning documentary series produced by Blackfella Films for SBS and edited along with Stephen Gapps, Mina Murray and Henry Reynolds. This is the first book to tell the story of the continental sweep of massacres, guerilla warfare, resistance and the contests of firearms and traditional Aboriginal weaponry as Indigenous nations resisted colonial occupation of their lands, territory by territory. At stake was the sovereignty of an entire country. 
     
    Black and white writers tell the stories of these battles across three crucial time periods, and all the states and territories. It notes the lands that were unconquered, as well as the role of disease, weapons and tactics, and the story of women on the frontier. 
     
    This history is still alive in those descendants who carry the stories of their ancestors. The Australian Wars brings what for too long has been considered the historical past into the present so that we might know the truth of the origins of this nation. 
     
     
    'As it peels back the enduring veils of silence and denial about our shared past, The Australian Wars exposes a complex legacy of shame, pride, crime and valour. It offers us an opportunity to ask ourselves, in a spirit of humility and honesty, what it truly means to be an Australian patriot. The authors of this work have delivered a huge favour wrapped in a hard lesson.' TIM WINTON 
     
     
    'An inspiring, game-changing work of collective truth-telling about our shared history.' KATE GRENVILLE 
     
     
    ‘Rachel Perkins and her fellow editors have done us all a great service in bringing this history together.' DAVID KEMP AC 
     
     
    'Together with the TV series The Australian Wars puts down a marker: no more denial, no more cant. These wars happened and we cannot blink them away.' DON WATSON 
     
     
    'This book has the best of contemporary research. It will ensure that the original people of this nation are not denied the dignity of their resistance and the truth telling has the edge it should.' KIM BEAZLEY 
     
     
    'A compelling call to truth-telling and national reckoning. Essential reading for all Australians.' THE HON KEN WYATT AC

    It's hard for everyone when parents split up―but the end of living together doesn't need to mean the end of a functional family. Part of the reason divorces are so traumatic for the kids involved is because of our child custody system, which sets everyone up for failure. Throughout the country, the default arrangement is for Mom to get majority time with the kids (and most of the responsibility of caring for them), for Dad to become an occasional visitor (and perhaps saddled with massive child support payments), and for the kids to lose the stability, structure, and confidence of knowing they have two equally committed, loving parents. But it doesn't have to be this way! 
     
    In The 50/50 Solution, creator of the Wealthy Single Mommy community Emma Johnson showcases the robust research proving that, in the vast majority of cases, equal timesharing is the best outcome for everyone in a family where the adults no longer live together. The 50/50 Solution will show you that equal parenting time leads to: better physical, emotional, and mental health for children of divorce; higher career earnings for single mothers; fathers who are more engaged and whose rights as parents are preserved; far less parental and legal conflict; and a progressive, forward-thinking cultural norm that promotes gender and racial equality for all families, regardless of their configuration.
