When Australian journalist Alan Villiers sailed on the last of the giant merchant windjammers in the 1920s and '30s, his writings and photographs made him famous. Villiers crewed on beautiful Herzogin Cecilie and tragic Grace Harwar, took tiny Joseph Conrad around the globe, sailed on Arabian dhows, led wartime landing craft, captained Mayflower II across the Atlantic, and inspired modern sail training and ship restoration projects. Drawn from his personal diaries, this award-winning biography of the author-adventurer reveals both his mythmaking and his achievements. It is a tribute to the greatest sailing ships ever launched – and to the extraordinary man who loved them. The book won the Mountbatten Maritime Award in 2009, and this Second Edition is fully revised. It contains over 100 photos, many of them new.

"It was the 1860s, and slave traders were slipping across the seas between Zanzibar and Arabia. Irish surgeon Dr. William Edward Dillion [sic] hunted them down in British tall ships, tasked with the medical care for all on board - including rescued slaves from the captured trading vessels. When the great missionary David Livingstone went missing in central Africa in 1872, Dr. Dillon, grounded with a damaged ship, led the Livingstone East Coast Expedition as second-in-command. They marched 500 miles with badly needed medical supplies only to discover the worst: Livingstone was dead. ... Dillon met his death in the middle of Africa. But the circumstances around his death are labelled suspicious and a new expedition in 2004 sets off to find the answers."--Back cover.

Die Erdöl-Moderne ist ein lokales Phänomen der Geschichte Kuwaits, aber auch ein globales Ereignis und massgebliche Ursache des Klimawandels. Die Studie untersucht die Rolle von Erdöl in der visuellen Kultur Kuwaits im Kontext von Ideologien wie Modernisierung und politischer Repräsentation. Der Begriff des Irisierenden, eines in Regenbogenfarben schillernden Farbenspiels, dient als analytisch-ästhetisches Konzept, um den umstrittenen Beitrag von Erdöl in der Moderne zu diskutieren: sowohl Wohlstandsversprechen wie auch destruktive Kraft in soziokultureller und ökologischer Hinsicht. Das Buch versammelt eine Fülle historischen Bildmaterials, darunter Luft- und Farbfotografien, Briefmarken, Stadtpläne und Architekturdarstellungen, um unter Berücksichtigung von zeitgenössischer Kunst aus der Golfregion das visuelle Erbe der Erdöl- Moderne kritisch zu hinterfragen.

The war is over. The reckoning is not. It's the hip 1950s on Sydney's shimmering harbour, but how do you reconcile a past that gave — and stole — so much? Tina runs Tempo jazz club at shady Kings Cross, keeping secrets with, and from, her beguiling boss Jimmy. And from her lonely husband. Harry yearns to forget his days in a Singapore prison camp, yet his friends won't let him. Nor will his conscience. Ex-pilot Billie now works at the flying-boat base. When her old lover Pete turns up with a new wife there's a lot she prefers to conceal. Even from herself. Yvonne rebuilds a life by the harbour with her beloved Klara. But secrets emerge when she publishes Harry's war memoir, and then no one can postpone the reckoning.

"Heartfelt and bittersweet. A delightful read, this beautifully written book comes highly recommended." Goodreads 1930s England: and for a group of friends it seems as if the sunny days of sailing, flying and love will never end. A deepwater sailing ship takes restless young Eliza McKee to a new life in glamorous London, but when she meets the handsome star of a talking film it’s not quite the life she expects. Eliza’s brother Pete yearns to fly, and pilot Billie Quinn can teach him. Pete calls her a sarcastic, scowling Amelia Earhart, but it’s Billie who knows how much Pete has to learn. Eliza’s aunt, actress Izabel Peres, hides a secret from the world. Then she falls for lawyer Felix with his buccaneering smile, and a case of shellshock he believes is behind him. Doctor Harry Bell, Eliza’s old shipmate, loves fascinating Charlotte, but Charlotte just loves flirting and gambling — especially with flyboy Pete’s heart. And when a great white barque encounters the coast one foggy night, more than an era of sail finds itself tested to the limits. Testing the Limits is the first book in the Tempo series, by the winner of the Mountbatten Maritime Award and the Western Australian Premier’s Book Award for Non-Fiction.
