The Returning
Having recently endured the agony of the death of his friend Yvette in a hospital near Singapore, Carl Thomas gradually recovers his rationality. He makes his way back to Paris where he innocently becomes implicated in a young woman's musder. Authorities and fate conspire to avenge her death with the death of her murderer. Returning to the United States, Carl takes a teaching job and becomes married. A year later, Beebee, his wife, wins a unique lottery that provides them a year's command of an ocean liner to any ports on earth. They are to be it's sole passengers. His wife is too fearful of sea travel to make extended cruises, so he makes them alone. Such an unnatural connubial separation creates dramatic tension in their lives, but destiny and their stalwart characters see them to a felicitous conclusion and the birth of a daughter, Jillian Christine Thomas.
A History of Aboriginal Art in the Art Gallery of New South Wales
In this highly original study, Vanessa Russ examines the gradual invention of Aboriginal art within the Art Gallery of New South Wales. This process occurred as the social histories of Australia expanded and recognised Aboriginal people, through wars and political shifts, and as international organisations began placing pressure on nation states to expand, diversify, and respect multicultural perspectives. This book explores a state art institution as a case study to consider these complex narratives through a single history of Aboriginal art from early colonisation until today. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, museum studies, and Indigenous studies.

Polish Film and the Holocaust
During World War II Poland lost more than six million people, including about three million Polish Jews who perished in the ghettos and extermination camps built by Nazi Germany in occupied Polish territories.
