VANDA & YOUNG: INSIDE AUSTRALIA'S HIT FACTORY VANDA & YOUNG: INSIDE AUSTRALIA'S HIT FACTORY
John Tait , PB $34.95

Harry Vanda and George Young put Friday on our minds, triggered Easyfever with the Easybeats, and harnessed the raw energy and power of Aussie pub rock to make superstars of AC/DC, Rose Tattoo, and the Angels. The day Vanda and Young met at Sydney’s Villawood Migrant Hostel has been called the most significant moment in Australian music history. What followed, as members of the Easybeats, producers and mentors for George’s brothers’ band AC/DC, and songwriters of a diverse range of hits from ‘Friday on My Mind’, ‘She’s So Fine’, ‘Yesterday’s Hero’ and ‘Love is in the Air’ to ‘Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again’, has provided the soundtrack to the last 50 years. Featuring revelatory interviews with Vanda and Young and members AC/DC and the other chart-topping acts they worked with, this is the inspirational story of Australia’s top songwriters, producers and starmakers.
DEALING WITH THE MEDIA DEALING WITH THE MEDIA
Chris Rau , PB $34.95

When experienced journalist Chris Rau found herself on the other side of media fence after her sister Cornelia was wrongfully held in Baxter Detention Centre, suddenly she was an interviewee, commentator and media strategist. Dealing with the Media is essential reading for anyone who needs to transmit news or ideas to the world, or has been thrust into the media spotlight. This practical guide offers easy-to-follow advice on how to deal with the media – both traditional and electronic. Drawing from over two decades of journalism and media experience, Chris Rau offers guidance on the following:

• whether you have a story

• how to put it across in the best possible way

• finding the right media outlet

• how to prepare for radio, television and print media interviews

• running a press conference

• developing relationships with journalists

• how to deal with being the centre of a news story

• joining the online media revolution with blogs, podcasts and YouTube

With tips from a who’s who of the Australian media including David Marr, and Phillip Adams, this book is a valuable source of information for students, activists, community groups, businesses…and anyone else who can’t afford a spin doctor.
MONEY AND POLITICS: THE DEMOCRACY WE CAN'T AFFORD MONEY AND POLITICS: THE DEMOCRACY WE CAN'T AFFORD
Joo-Cheong Tham , PB $49.95

Money plays a controversial role in Australian politics. Political donations may spark claims of secret contributions and corruption. Do corporations or trade unions have undue infl uence over political parties by way of donations? Meanwhile, the activities of well-paid lobbyists come under the spotlight, with claims of preferential treatment and ‘favours for mates’. What role should lobbyists have in our political system? Public funding for political parties also attracts its share of criticism. Has it made politics fairer or entrenched the position of the major parties? There is a fear that while Australian politics has the trappings of a democracy, they mask an oligarchy where political power rests with only a few rich and powerful citizens and corporations. Money and Politics: The democracy we can’t afford systematically dissects how political parties raise and spend money and asks what this means for our democracy.
WOMEN OF THE COAL RUSHES WOMEN OF THE COAL RUSHES
Georgina Murray , David Peetz , PB $49.95

Think coal mining, and most likely you think men. This book tells a very different story. Women have long been the backbone of the coal mining industry. As wives and mothers they’ve fought battles for better working conditions; established women’s auxiliaries; distributed food to strikers and their families, and stood on picket lines. In recent decades they’ve started working on trucks and in the mines. David Peetz and Georgina Murray spoke to more than 100 women, from southeast Queensland coal mining towns like Collinsville, Moranbah, Dysart, Tieri, Middlemount and Biloela, who shared their inspirational, moving, and often painful stories. Women of the Coal Rushes is a unique and very personal account of some of the women who have played such an integral part in the production of Australia’s black gold.
THE BIOGRAPHICAL DICTIONARY OF THE AUSTRALIAN SENATE: 1962-1983, VOLUME 3 THE BIOGRAPHICAL DICTIONARY OF THE AUSTRALIAN SENATE: 1962-1983, VOLUME 3
Ann Millar , Geoffrey Browne , HB $79.95

The Biographical Dictionary of the Australian Senate is an authoritative work of reference on the lives and careers of senators of the Federal Parliament. This third volume contains articles on the 104 senators and four clerks of the Senate whose parliamentary service ended during the period of rapid social and political change: 1962–1983. It highlights the achievements of some of the Senate’s trailblazers: the first Aboriginal senator Neville Bonner, first Jewish senator Sam Cohen, the first ACT senator John Knight and a cohort of pioneering women in the Senate who followed the election of DorothyTangney in 1943.
