The Garnaut Climate Change Review is one of the most important reports
to be published in Australia for many years. It examines the impacts
of climate change on the Australian economy, the costs of adaptation
and mitigation, and the international context in which climate change
is experienced and negotiated. It analyses the elements of an appropriate
international policy response, and the challenges that face Australia
in playing its proportionate part in that response. The Garnaut Climate
Change Review is highly relevant to the global problem that is climate
change. It considers what policies the international community should
adopt in responding to climate change, and urges humanity to act now,
and in concert, to develop the required policy response in time.
For anyone who loved Jared Diamond's Guns,
Germs and Steel comes this
vividly written, brilliantly original history of trade, the first for
a generation. Few historical enquiries tell us as much about the world
we live in today as the search for the origins of world trade. A
Splendid Exchange sets out to establish just what
drove early man to trade and to examine its profound influence on the
world we know today. William Bernstein goes on to suggest that an analysis
of one of the globe's most ancient forms of communication might teach
us about how to avoid seemingly new anxieties about globalisation and
the flattening of the world.
From the author of the popular novel Snobs.
Damian Baxter is hugely wealthy and dying. He lives alone in a big house
in Surrey, looked after
by a
chauffeur,
butler, cook and housemaid. He has but one concern - his fortune in excess
of 100 million and who should inherit it on his death. Past Imperfect is the story of a quest. Damian Barker wishes to know if he has a living
heir. By the time he married in his late thirties he was sterile (the
result of adult mumps), but what about before that unfortunate illness?
When the two volumes of Ian Kershaw's biography of Hitler, Hitler 1889-1936:
Hubris and Hitler 1936-1945: Nemesis were published, they were
immediately greeted around the world as the essential works on perhaps the most
malign figure ever to hold power in modern Europe. In the face of considerable
demand for such an edition, Kershaw has now created a single volume version.
The result is a frightening, fascinating narrative of how a bitter provincial
failure from an obscure corner of Austria rose to unparalleled power.
Though unquestionably one of the greatest and best-loved of all composers,
George Frideric Handel (1685-1759) had received little attention from
biographers before Jonathan Keates' masterful Handel: The Man and
His Music appeared in 1985. This fully updated and expanded edition
- published to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the composer's death
- charts in detail Handel's life, from his youth in Germany, through
his brilliantly successful Italian sojourn, to the opulence and squalor
of Georgian London.
