Anzac and Empire

Anzac and Empire is the remarkable story of George Foster Pearce – a carpenter who became one of Australia’s most infl uential politicians, and the man central to how Australia planned for, and fought in, the First World War. The nation’s longest-serving defence minister – holding the portfoliobefore, during and after the Great War – Pearce saw no contradiction in being both a fi erce Australian nationalist, and also a loyal subject of the British Empire. Pearce was almost single-handedly responsible for creating the key institutions of Australia’s modern defence organisation: the Royal Australian Navy, the Royal Military College, Duntroon and the Royal Australian Air Force. Controversially, when he saw the rising military threat from Japan in the early 1930s, it was his belief in a White Australia and conscription that led to rearmament, preparing Australia to defend itself in its darkest hour.

Written by one of Australia’s leading military historians, this book shows that to understand Australia in the Great War, you must understand the man behind it.

The Cambridge Companion to Cricket

Sports/Cultural Studies. Few other team sports can equal the global reach of cricket. Rich in history and tradition, it is both quintessentially English and expansively international, a game that has evolved and changed dramatically in recent times.

Demonstrating how the history of cricket and its international popularity is entwined with British imperial expansion, this book examines the social and political impact of the game in a variety of cultural sites: the West Indies, India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. An international team of contributors explores the enduring infl uence of cricket on English identity, examines why cricket has seized the imagination of so many literary fi gures and provides profi les of iconic players including Bradman, Lara and Tendulkar.

Presenting a global view of cricket’s development, its unique adaptability and its political and sporting controversies, the book provides a rich insight into a unique sporting and cultural heritage.

Archaeology. This book explores the relationship between prehistoric people and their food – what they ate, why they ate it and how researchers have pieced together the story of past foodways from material traces. Humans are designed by evolution to adjust our feeding behaviour and food technology to meet the demands of a wide range of environments through a combination of social and experiential learning. In this book, Kristen J. Gremillion demonstrates how these evolutionary processes have shaped the diversification of human diet over several million years of prehistory.

Key features:Highlights the archaeological record of human diet and food culture, • showing how cutting-edge science has vastly increased our knowledge over the last few decades.Asks what we can learn today from the diet and culture of prehistoric • people.
