Classic Zuleika Dobson
by
Max Beerbohm
[F BEE]
One woman's beauty fells the whole of Oxford in this sidesplitting classic
campus novel. Nobody could predict the consequences when ravishing
Zuleika Dobson arrives at Oxford, to visit her grandfather, the college
warden. Formerly a governess, she has landed on the occupation of
prestidigitator, and thanks to her overwhelming beauty--and to a lesser
extent her professional talents--she takes the town by storm, gaining
admittance to her grandfather's college. It is there, at the institution
inspired by Beerbohm's own alma mater, that she falls in love the Duke
of Dorset, who duly adores her in return. Ever aware of appearances,
however, Zuleika breaks the Duke's heart when she decides that she
must abandon the match. The epidemic of heartache that proceeds to
overcome the academic town makes for some of the best comic writing in
the history of English literature. (Trove)

Classic The Innocents Abroad, or, The New
Pilgrim's Progress : being some account of SS
Quaker City's pleasure excursion to Europe and the Holy
Land, with descriptions of countries, nations, incidents
and adventures as they appeared to Mark Twain
by
Mark Twain
[F TWA]
This book, so funny and provocative, made Twain an international star
for the rest of his life. He was making his first responses to the Old World
- to Paris, Milan, Florence, Venice, Pompeii, Constantinople, Sebastopol,
Balaklava, Damascus, Jerusalem, Nazareth and Bethlehem. For the first
time he was seeing the great paintings and sculptures of the old masters.
He responded with wonder and amazement, but also with exasperation,
irritation, disbelief. Above all, he displayed the great energy of his
humour, more explosive for us now than for his beguiled contemporaries.

Classic The Lingard Trilogy
by
Joseph Conrad
[F CON]
Almayer's Folly was Conrad's outstanding debut novel: as well as exploring the
culture of a part of the world previously unknown to English fiction, it showed
immense sophistication in its handling of narrative, time-shifts and point of view.
Hailed as 'a writer of genius' by contemporary reviewers, Conrad returned to the
same riverine settlement in Borneo in his second novel, An Outcast of the
Islands. Set some 15 years earlier, this prequel to Almayer's Folly tells how
Lingard lost his monopoly of trade in Sambir, and follows the dangerous rivalry
of his proteges Willems and Almayer. In The Rescue, the narrative moves even
further back in time and shows the young, idealistic Lingard torn between his
loyalties to his Sulawesi allies and his unexpected attraction to Edith Travers,
with explosive consequences. Throughout this sequence of novels, the
fascinating figure of Captain Lingard comes steadily into the foreground. (Back

Classic
A Sentimental Journey
Through France and Italy by
Mr. Yorick
by
Laurence Sterne

Yorick's account of his wanderings satirises
conventional travel books, offering a variation on the
popular picaresque literary style. His comic mishaps
along the path to tender emotions are as much a
critique of pure sentiment as they are an exploration of
human sympathy. (Back cover)

Classic New Grub Street
by
George Gissing
[F GIS]
A novel about the struggles of those who
make their living by writing. Gissing
contrasts the success of the
unscrupulous with the poverty of those

Biography The Freedom Writers Diary : How a
Teacher and 150 Teens Used Writing to
Change Themselves and the World Around
Them
by
Gruwell, Erin.
[370.11 FRE]
As an idealistic first-year English teacher at Wilson High School in Long Beach,
California, Erin Gruwell confronted a room of “unteachable, at-risk” students. One
day she intercepted a note with an ugly racial caricature and angrily declared that
this was precisely the sort of thing that led to the Holocaust - only to be met with
uncomprehending looks. So she and her students, using the treasured books Anne
Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl and Zlata’s Diars: A Child’s Life in Sarajevo as their
guides, undertook a life-changing, eye-opening, spirit-raising odyssey against
intolerance and misunderstanding. As they learned to see the parallels to their own
lives in these books, the students recorded their thoughts and feelings in diaries of
their own. They dubbed themselves the “Freedom Writers” in homage to the civil
rights activists the Freedom Riders.

A Wreck Upon The Ocean : Cornish
Folklore In The Age Of The Industrial
Revolution
by
Brendan McMahon
[398.2 McM]
In the nineteenth century the small nation of Cornwall underwent profound social and
economic change. It became one of the first European regions to industrialize, and exported
tin and copper to the world, along with the engineers and miners who extracted them. But
bust followed boom, and emigration became high. Mortality rates and famine took their toll
on a small community which had recently lost its language and was struggling to maintain its
identity in the face of growing encroachment from across the Tamar. In the 1840s, driven by
a growing sense that modernity was driving out the old folkways and beliefs, two Cornish
scholars, Robert Hunt and William Bottrell, began to collect the ancient Celtic stories of
pisgies, mermaids, and giants which had been passed down by generations of fisherfolk and
tinners since time immemorial in the far west. Though many stories must have been lost with
the passing of the Cornish language, those that survived enabled the community to articulate
its sense of loss, and its anxieties about identity and change. This book explores that
process

One Child : The Story Of
China's Most Radical
Experiment
by
Fong, Mei
[363.9 FON]
For over three decades, China exercised unprecedented control over the reproductive habits of its
billion citizens. Now, with its economy faltering just as it seemed poised to become the largest in the
world, the Chinese government has brought an end to its one-child policy. It may once have seemed
a shortcut to riches, but it has had a profound effect on society in modern China. Combining personal
portraits of families affected by the policy with a nuanced account of China's descent towards
economic and societal turmoil, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Mei Fong reveals the true cost of this
most controversial of policies. Drawing on eight years spent documenting its repercussions, she
reveals a dystopian legacy of second children refused documentation by the state, only children
supporting their parents and grandparents, and villages filled with ineligible bachelors.

William T. Martin Riches
[323.1 RIC]
The Civil Rights Movement in the United States struggled to create a nation.
The Civil War ended de jure slavery, but it needed the movement to
dismantle laws designed to keep African Americans subordinated to white
power. In this compelling introduction, William T. Martin Riches analyses
the way African Americans developed a mass movement at the Second
World War and overthrew state-enforced racial segregation despite fierce
resistance from whites. Riches emphasises how the movement influenced
others seeking justice in “
America, and evaluates the coalitions formed to preserve gains threatened
by the rise of the New Right.

Racial Reckoning :
Prosecuting America's Civil
Rights Murders
by
Renee C. Romano
[345.73 ROM]
Few whites who violently resisted the civil rights struggle were charged
with crimes in the 1950s and 1960s. But the tide of a long-deferred
justice began to change in 1994, when a Mississippi jury convicted Byron
De La Beckwith for the 1963 murder of Medgar Evers. Since then, more
than one hundred murder cases have been reopened, resulting in more
than a dozen trials. But how much did these public trials contribute to a
public reckoning with America's racist past? Racial Reckoning investigates
that question, along with the political pressures and cultural forces that
compelled the legal system to revisit these decades-old crimes. (Back

What Is A Refugee?
by
William Maley
[325 MAL]
In Australia, growing alarm about the arrival of asylum-seekers set in around the
time of the Tampa affair in 2001, and has led to the country imposing increasingly
draconian anti-refugee policies. In Europe, the recent arrival of over a million
refugees and asylum-seekers has provoked a sense of panic across that continent
and beyond. William Maley's illuminating introduction offers a guide to the complex
idea of 'the refugee' and sets the current crisis within the wider history of human
exile, injecting much-needed objectivity and nuance into the debate. Arguing that
Western states are now reaping the consequences of policies aimed at blocking safe
and 'legal' access to asylum, What is a Refugee? shows why many proposed
solutions to the refugee 'problem' will exacerbate tension and risk fuelling the
growth of extremism among people who have been denied all hope. This lucid book
also tells of the families and individuals who have sought refuge, highlighting the
suffering, separation and dislocation on their perilous journeys to safety. Only
through such stories can we properly begin to understand what it is to be a refugee.

What Do We Want! : The
Story Of Protest In Australia
by
Clive Hamilton
[303.48 HAM]
In What Do We Want! Clive Hamilton explores the colourful, enthralling and
stirring forms of protest used in the big social movements that define modern
Australia. He includes dedicated chapters on the peace movement, women's
liberation, indigenous rights, gay rights and the environmental movement, and
examines how these movements have confronted the ugliness in Australian
society and caused epoch defining shifts in social attitudes. He describes
protests with scores of thousands marching or sitting down in the streets
ofcapital cities; colourful camps of a handful of protestors in Australia's forests,
singing at bulldozers and blocking paths; acts of bravery by individuals using
technology to disrupt stock markets or coming out on television; as well as
vigils, leafleting, streettheatre, occupations and myriad other creative forms of
protest. Hamilton shows that progress occurs because a few individuals begin to
demand change.

Beyond Civil Rights : The Moynihan
Report And Its Legacy
by
Daniel Geary
[305.89 GEA]
Shortly after the 1964 Civil Rights Act, Daniel Patrick Moynihan authored a government
report titled The Negro Family: A Case for National Action that captured the attention of
President Lyndon Johnson. Responding to the demands of African American activists that
the United States go beyond civil rights to secure economic justice, Moynihan thought his
analysis of black families highlighted socioeconomic inequality. However, the report's
central argument that poor families headed by single mothers inhibited African American
progress touched off a heated controversy. The long-running dispute over Moynihan's
conclusions changed how Americans talk about race, the family, and poverty. Fifty years
after its publication, the Moynihan Report remains a touchstone in contemporary racial
politics, cited by President Barack Obama and Congressman Paul Ryan among others.
Beyond Civil Rights offers the definitive history of the Moynihan Report controversy.
Focusing on competing interpretations of the report from the mid-1960s to the late 1970s,
Geary demonstrates its significance for liberals, conservatives, neoconservatives, civil
rights leaders, Black Power activists, and feminists. He also illustrates the pitfalls of
discussing racial inequality primarily in terms of family structure. Beyond Civil Rights
captures a watershed moment in American history that reveals the roots of current political
divisions and the stakes of a public debate that has extended for decades.

writers of Australian poetry since 1788. Ranging from concrete to
prose poems, from the cerebral to the na ve, from the humorous to the
confessional, and from formal to free verse, this work also features
translations of some striking Aboriginal song poems. With pieces from
170 Australian poets, as well as short critical biographies, this careful
reevaluation of Australian poetry makes this a superb book that can be
read and enjoyed over a lifetime.
