For the third year in a row, I read one book per week. Hopelessly, only one was fiction (Joseph Heller, Picture This); the rest history, animal studies, memoir, archaeology, pedagogy, and the like. Some highlights include:

Fernand Braudel, Identity of France vol. I. The attention to detail is breathtaking. Linking regions’ roofing materials with local economies and geographies (pp. 53 & 171) to paint a longue durée history, to give one example. Siân Reynolds’ translation is fantastic.

Minoru Hokari, Gurindji Journey. Brilliant and paradigm shifting. Intimate and revelatory. What happens to the Western tradition of the historical discipline when it takes seriously the Dreaming, Everywhen, and Indigenous epistemologies? Truly wonderful things.

The AHA welcomes the Australian Government's proposed 20% cut to HECS-HELP student debts. But this modest cost-of-living relief cannot, on its own, make Higher Ed debts more equitable. 'Job-ready Graduates' must give way to a better, fairer fee system

A platypus was almost sent to Churchill in '43 (Cushing & Markwell 2009), but tragically died en route. Here's some (provisional) data from the platypus attendant's log, showing changes in food, air, & water temp as they made the crossing from MEL to Liverpool (NAA: A2908, V23/2)
