STILL LIFE
A rich survey of the work of more than forty still-life artists, which presents the genre
in a uniquely Australian light.
Still Life: Contemporary Australian Painters
Amber Creswell Bell
Still Life explores the diverse practices of more than forty contemporary Australian artists and documents
a repertoire of styles, subjects, visions and philosophies. Alongside flowers and food – mainstays of the
genre – the works within these pages also incorporate objects such as books and beer cans, birds and
balloons, adding energy and intrigue to both the composition and the story revealed. This book captures
the inanimate beauty of the everyday in a distinctly Australian context, and offers a meditation on human
experience and the brevity of life.

NEW FROM THE
FIRST KNOWLEDGES SERIES
The First Knowledges series offers an
introduction to Indigenous knowledges in vital
areas, and their application to the present day
and the future. Exploring practices such as
architecture and design, land management,
plants, astronomy and innovation, this six-
book series brings together two very different
ways of understanding the natural world: one
ancient, the other modern. The second book
focuses on design.
• Second book in the First Knowledges series
• Each book is co-authored by an Indigenous and
non-Indigenous writer
• Aimed at design/architecture/sustainable-living
and History/Indigenous studies readers
• Features twenty-six black-and-white illustrations
• Co-publication with the National Museum of
Australia (NMA)
A major step forward in building a deeper
understanding by all Australians of what ‘Country’
is: that everything is part of the same continuum
– nature, land, sea, sky, humans and what they
design and build and how they learn about and
respond to Country. Design and architecture are
not nouns, they are verbs. To understand Country,
its Songlines and knowledge has never been more
important. – Lucy Turnbull AO
Design: Building on Country
Alison Page and Paul Memmott (Edited By Margo Neale)
Aboriginal design is of a distinctly cultural nature, based in the Dreaming and in ancient practices grounded
in Country. It is visible in the aerodynamic boomerang, the ingenious design of fish traps and the precise
layouts of community settlements that strengthen social cohesion.
Alison Page and Paul Memmott show how these design principles of sophisticated function, sustainability
and storytelling, refined over many millennia, are now being applied to contemporary practices. Design:
Building on Country issues a challenge for a new Australian design ethos, one that truly responds to the
essence of Country and its people.

Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc: RELISTED – DUES HELD
A Timeless Legend on the French Riviera
Alexandra Campbell
First created in the nineteenth century as a retreat for artists and writers, the

Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald, whose Tender is the Night was set at Eden
Roc. Master photographers such as Jacques Henri Lartigue and Slim Aarons
famously captured guests splashing in the Mediterranean or lounging in the sun
next to the iconic seawater swimming pool carved in the basalt cliff.

and insights into being a Chutney Mary (of mixed blood). A touch of history, a touch
of travel, a touch of textiles, of humorous and touching anecdotes and much more….

The Making of Rodin
Nabila Abdel Nabi and Achim Borchardt-Hume
In line with new thinking around Rodin, this beautifully illustrated book focuses specifically
on the artist’s use of plaster, a material which was crucial to his process, but also
demonstrates his interest in creating sculptures that are never finished, always becoming.
For the first time, Rodin is truly presented as the father of modern sculpture, with an
influence that is indisputable and ongoing.

The Irish Diaspora: Tales of Emigration, Exile and Imperialism
Turtle Bunbury
Explores the lives of over forty men and women – great and otherwise – whose
pioneering journeys beyond the Irish shore played a profound role in world history.
The Irish have always been a travelling people. In the centuries after the fall of Rome,
Irish missionaries carried the word of Christianity throughout Europe, while soldiers
and mariners from across the land ventured overseas in all directions. Since the first
voyages of St Brendan, an estimated 10 million people have left the Irish shores and
today more than 80 million people worldwide claim Irish descent. Turtle Bunbury
explores the lives of those men and women, great and otherwise, whose pioneering
journeys beyond the Irish shore have left their indelible mark far beyond Ireland.

Self-Reliance: The Original 1841 Essay
Ralph Waldo Emerson
When Ralph Waldo Emerson published what is probably his most famous essay in
1841, drawing from a lecture he had given a few years earlier, it was in the aftermath
of the calamitous financial collapse of 1837. His positive vision for the power of
individualism and personal responsibility was issued in a climate filled with panic
and uncertainty and at a time when the values of society and humanity were in the
process of being reformed. Emerson’s text is widely available to read online, but this
new edition, produced with Design Observer, elevates his wisdom through the printed
word. It is needed perhaps now more than ever when circumstances, information and
connections can vanish before our eyes.

Vicki Shuttleworth
Labassa, with its Euro-Germanic motifs was the most opulent and highly
decorated mansion built during the 1880s Land Boom. Most of Australia’s
historic mansions are now long gone but Labassa’s unique ambience survives
with its historic decoration. The story of Labassa is traced from modest villa,
to mansion, to 20th century run-down flats. Finally, in 1980, the National Trust
rescued the property with an 11th hour purchase.
This book is not merely about the survival of an extraordinary mansion, it offers
