Summary

Public Art Funding explores the intricate relationship between art and politics, revealing how government and institutional funding shapes the art we see in public spaces. This book delves into the sources of funding, from government allocations to private donations, and investigates the decision-making processes for selecting artists and artwork. Understanding these mechanisms is crucial, as public art often reflects a community's values. The book examines the evolution of public art funding from the New Deal era to contemporary models, highlighting controversies surrounding artistic merit and cultural representation. For instance, public art can sometimes lead to debates over censorship or cultural appropriation. By analyzing case studies and various funding models, the book sheds light on the ethical considerations and potential biases inherent in the system. The book progresses from foundational concepts to historical context, case studies, ethical considerations, and strategies for improvement, culminating in recommendations for policymakers and community members. This comprehensive approach, drawing from fields like political science and urban planning, offers a unique perspective on the political, economic, and social factors influencing public art.

    A complete history of the universe, spanning 13.8 billion years in an ultra-accessible, uncommonly illuminating, exhilarating chronicle of key events 
 
 
 
In this thrilling history, David Baker captures the longest-possible time span—from the Big Bang to the present day—in an astonishingly concise retelling. His impressive timeline includes the "rise of complexity" in the cosmos and the creation of the first atoms; the origin of all galaxies, stars, and our solar system; and the evolution of life on Earth, from tiny single-celled organisms to human beings. 
 
 
 
Weaving together insights across the sciences—including chemistry, physics, biology, archaeology, and anthropology—Baker answers the fundamental questions: How did time begin? Why does matter exist? What made life on Earth the way it is? He also argues that never before has life on Earth been forced to adjust to a changing climate so rapidly, nor has one species ever been responsible for such sudden change. Baker's grand view offers the clearest picture of what may come next—and the role we can still play in our planet's fate.

    On how our sense of balance has defined us as a nation and will safeguard our future. 
  
In the years that John Howard served in the national parliament he came to understand the special character of Australia; to appreciate its strengths and weaknesses; and most importantly to respect the sense of balance in the formulation of public policy that has long defined us as a nation and made Australia an attractive destination for people from across the world. 
In this book he explores this balance, its foundations and its future. Written against the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as some of the more contested political events of recent years - the election of Donald Trump, the Brexit vote, the rise of China, and, within our own country, a carousel of six prime ministers in eleven years - these reflections touch on how Australia has responded to pressure over the last decade or so. Commentary on these subjects from politicians, opinion writers and social media can sometimes seem shrill and divisive. Australia's 25th and second longest serving prime minister has faith that no matter what challenges and extremes threaten to upset our sense of balance, the country's institutions and people will remain robust into the foreseeable future. 
PRAISE 
'John Howard's ongoing and important contribution to this country continues with his latest laser sharp book, A Sense of Balance. No former leader understands the Australian character better than our 25th Prime Minister' Janet Albrechtsen, columnist

    The tale of Davy Jones' Metropolis is one that stretches the boundaries between myth and reality, a city submerged beneath the depths of the ocean, where the lost and forgotten roam amidst the remnants of once-proud pirates and forgotten empires. Far beyond the reach of sailors and explorers, this enigmatic metropolis remains hidden, its existence debated by those who dare to venture into the unknown realms of the sea. 
The legend of Davy Jones, the fearsome pirate captain cursed to rule over the souls of the damned, has long been etched into maritime folklore. Yet, his connection to the Metropolis is often misunderstood. The city itself is not simply a domain of darkness or death, but rather a lost sanctuary that once served as a haven for corsairs, privateers, and seafaring marauders. It is said to be a place where time stands still, where the remnants of a golden age of piracy are preserved beneath the waves, untouched by the ravages of time. This metropolis, often referred to as the “Haven of Lost Corsairs,” was not only a refuge for pirates, but also a thriving hub of commerce, culture, and mysticism, protected by the vast and treacherous ocean that envelops it. 
The origins of Davy Jones' Metropolis are shrouded in mystery. Some believe it was constructed by an ancient order of pirates who sought to escape the control of empires, building a city that existed outside of the world's laws. Others claim that the Metropolis was created by Davy Jones himself as a sanctuary for those cursed by the sea, a place where the spirits of lost sailors could dwell in eternal unrest. Regardless of its true origin, the city’s allure lies in its captivating history, its forgotten treasures, and the dangers that still lie hidden in its depths.
