Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The Balcony is a stunning collection by one of Australia's quiet masters of poetry (Robert Adamson said of Brooks' previous collection, Urban Elegies, that it contained some of 'the best and most uplifting poetry that I have experienced in years'), The Balcony is a volume of one hundred love poems in the tradition of Pablo Neruda's The Captain's Verses or Jacques Prevert's Paroles, but on closer acquaintance becomes so much more. This poetry is by turns erotic, visceral, political, satirical, philosophical and confessional - often all of these at the same time - and is always deeply and unabashedly sensual and lyrical, in a manner that has led early readers, pre-publication, to suggest that it marks the arrival of a powerful new style in this country's writing. A collection of love poems in the tradition of Pablo Neruda's "The Captain's Verses" or Jacques Prevert's "Paroles".

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Consuming Innocence- Popular Culture and Our Children is an engaging and thought-provoking look at the effects of popular culture on children, parenting and family life. It is down to earth, confronting and accessible without sacrificing intelligent argument, analysis and discussion. Underneath the conversational tone and common-sense advice is serious and comprehensive research.This timely book explores the complex relationship kids - from tots and tweens to teens - have with popular culture. Without blaming children or parents, Consuming Innocence considers the role of celebrities, fads, technology, fashion, school, the media and, most importantly, parents, and the part they all play in creating children's ideas of themselves.Chapters focus on specific elements of global popular culture, from the corporations that target kids and promote sexuality, to toys, TV shows like The Simpsons, film, celebrities, internet sites, children's fashion and parenting practices. It looks realistically at what has been described as the crisis of stolen childhoods, but with empathy, understanding and humour.Consuming Innocence shows how parents, grandparents, teachers and other concerned adults can educate themselves about popular culture and the messages it gives. By doing this, we can pro-actively inform children and teenagers about popular culture, and support and protect them when necessary. Explores the complex relationship that kids - from toddlers to teens - have with popular culture. This book examines the role popular culture and, most importantly, parents play in creating children's ideas of themselves, and questions the involvement of corporations that specifically target kids.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. One of two inaugural titles in the new UQP Creative Economy + Innovation Culture series - 'new knowledge for the new economy'Following on from his groundbreaking The Creative Economy in 2001, John Howkins' new book grew out of a research project for the Chinese State Council. Asked to provide a global overview of the creative economy, he took the opportunity to go back to first principles and work out a general theory that identifies three general conditions for a creative ecology- talent, freedom and markets. From this he proposes an evolved concept of the creative ecology. This is leading thinking for a new knowledge economy.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The fourth title in UQP's internationally recognised Creative Economy + Innovation Culture seriesJoining John Howkins' Creative Ecologies, John Hartley's The Uses of Digital Literacy and Carsten Herrmann-Pillath's The Economics of Identity and Creativity, leading American academic Richard E Lee's Knowledge Matters is the latest in this innovative series featuring international scholars and thinkers at the forefront of the creative industries.We face a long-term structural crisis in how we understand our world. With the rise of capitalism came structures of knowledge that divided 'facts' (sciences) from 'values' (humanities), but these divisions have become unsustainable in today's society - as shown by Australia's ongoing history wars.Lee argues that both knowledge and its structures form an inseparable whole, which governs what actions people will take. Knowledge Matters is a crucial step towards solving the structural crisis and helping us imagine and evaluate our possible futures.

Jack Maggs, raised and deported as a criminal, has returned from Australia, in secret and at great risk. What does he want after all these years, and why is he so interested in the comings and goings at a plush townhouse in Great Queen Street? And why is Jack himself an object of such interest to Tobias Oates, celebrated author, amateur hypnotist and fellow burglar - in this case of people's minds, of their histories and inner phantoms?
