A Heide Harvest
This ebook has a fixed layout and is best viewed on a widescreen, full-colour tablet. In 1934 when John and Sunday Reed purchased an acreage in Heidelberg they had a vision of a bohemian artistic community living in harmony with the earth. The Heide gardens became a place where everyone contributed and heritage roses grew side-by-side with herbs and heirloom vegetables, and it remains so today. Inspired by the Reeds' values of nourishment and communality, this seasonal cookbook features 90 original recipes from leading Australian chefs as they share their interpretations of and reflections on the Heide kitchen gardens. Alongside the recipes, each chapter delves into the history of the garden and charts the evolution of this dairy farm turned institution. Combining food, art and history, A Heide Harvest is an ode to Sunday's kitchen and garden and the continuing legacy of Heide Museum of Modern Art. With recipes from some of Victoria's top chefs, including Annie Smithers, Dom Gattermayr & Rose Richards, Brianna Smith & Oliver Edwards, Scott Eddington, Daniel Lewis, Simon Benjamin & Diego Riley, Dianne Kerry, Luke Whearty and Ronnen Goren.
Lovers and Others
This candidly written memoir, enlivened by the author's impish sense of humour, narrates the way in which, by chance and circumstance, Tom Lowenstein placed his career at the service of the Australian art world. The book describes Lowenstein's numerous David and Goliath battles with the Australian Government and the Australian Tax Office for a greater understanding and fairer treatment of the unique set of circumstances and numerous challenges faced by the country's creative sectors. Lowenstein's interactions with his colourful and gregarious clients took him frequently out of the comfort of the corporate environment into the artists' homes and studios. The personalities of Charles Blackman, Colin Lanceley, Margaret Olley, John Olsen, Garry Shead, Tim Storrier, and many other luminaries of the art world are vividly brought out with unique insights and unexpected angles. The book is richly illustrated with photographs from Lowenstein's personal archives documenting his long-standing friendships and reflecting its heady mixture of accounting, art, and wine.
Ashurst
Ashurst is one of the world's foremost commercial law firms, and one of the oldest. The firm's foundational moments span cities and continents. One of its first matters involved the estate of Melbourne's founder, John Batman. In Sydney, an ancestral partnership was implicated in many of the major turning points of antipodean politics, commerce and law. That partnership presented the first writs in both the High Court and the Federal Court of Australia. For a century, it fulfilled the venerable role of Sydney City Solicitor. In London, the firm began with a lawyer well known for his progressive views and radical politics. Over the years, Ashurst has acted for a long list of household names, i...
Currawong Manor
Currawongs appearing at the Manor in vast numbers had come to portend one thing... Death was on its way.

For years, locals have speculated whether it was terrible tragedy or a double murder, but until now, the shocking truth of what happened at the Manor that day has remained a secret. Relocating to the manor, Elizabeth interviews Ginger Flower, one of Rupert's life models from the seventies, and Do...

Rhona Haszard
During Rhona Haszard's short life she distinguished herself as a "New Woman" whose social and sexual behaviour was highly controversial. She worked as an artist on the Channel Island of Sark, in France, Alexandria and London. She dressed eccentrically, recommended Radclyffe Hall's lesbian novel The Well of Loneliness, spoke positively of de facto relationships and advocated vegetarianism and unprocessed food. Most significantly, she wanted to paint innovatively and professionally. Born in Thames in 1901, Haszard studied at Canterbury College School of Art and worked with fellow students Ngaio Marsh, Evelyn Page, Rata Lovell-Smith and Olivia Spencer Bower. Even in this talented company she established a promising reputation. A successful future seemed assured by her marriage in 1922 to Ronald McKenzie, but her traumatic elopement with Englishman Leslie Greener seemed to threaten it all. Escaping with Greener to France in the 1920s, her brighter, Post-Impressionist style rapidly brought international recognition, and in London she participated in a number of significant exhibitions. Her life was tragically cut short at the age of thirty.

Modern Times
Richly illustrated and beautifully designed, Modern Times: The Untold Story of Modernism in Australia reveals how modernism transformed all aspects of Australian culture across five tumultuous decades from 1917 to 1967. The influence of modernism was wide reaching. Modern Times looks at all things modern and as diverse as art, advertising, photography, film, fashion, the body, architecture, interiors, recreational sites such as the new swimming pools and fountains, milk bars and auto culture. Modernism embodied the utopian possibilities of the 20th century. It transformed Australian cities into complex metropolises and offered access to new cosmopolitan cultures. This is the first time that such diverse material has been brought together in one volume. With stories from more than 20 authors and more than 300 images, many of them never before published, Modern Times will be a revelation!
