The Lajjagauri and Anandanayaki: A New Light on the Nature and Worship of the Adi-Mata, the Primordial Mother
Ramacandra Cintaman Dhere
Melbourne: Monash University Publishing, 2020.Translated from Marathi and with an introductory chapter and annotation by Jayan Bhalcandra Bapat. “Lajjagauri is perhaps one of India’s oldest goddesses with images of her in South Asia dating back to the Indus Civilisation c. 3,000 to 1,500 BC. Her devotees can be traced back even earlier to the Ukraine c. 10,000 BCE. In India, new finds continue to expand the geographical spread of Lajjagauri’s devotees, most recently to Odisa. Dhere’s work on Lajjagauri is based on tireless pursuits of her image throughout western India. In contrast to the other thousands of Indian goddesses whose images are super abundant, Lajjagauri has become more reclusive as other deities have risen.” (publisher’s blurb)

The Bird Man of Brisbane: Silvester Diggles and his Ornithology of Australia
Louis J. Pigott
Brisbane: Boolarong Press, 2010.“When Silvester Diggles arrived in 1855 there was little artistic or scientific talent in the small frontier town of Brisbane. By the time of his death in 1880, his paramount legacy was a large book on Australian birds, profusely illustrated with hand-coloured lithographs. Acting as his own publisher from 1865 onwards, Diggles produced the first substantial zoological work to commence publication in Australia. The compilation and content of this rare work of art and natural history is examined here in the light of Diggles’ life and times, as well as his ornithological predecessors and contemporaries. So too is his role in establishing the first scientific society and museum in Queensland. Also presented in this lavishly illustrated publication are colour plates from his bird book, and some of his original bird paintings for the first time.” (publisher’s blurb)

Baptised Among Crocodiles: A History of the Daintree Aboriginal Mission, 1940-1962
Russell Guy
Brisbane: Boolarong Press, 2015.“Sometime around 1930, an Irish pentecostal missionary, Isobella Hetherington arrived at Mossman in Far North Queensland. She was accompanied by an Aboriginal woman named Nellie who was a talented vocalist. Together they began ministering to the Kuku Yulanji Aboriginal people who had been forced to gather in small groups throughout the Daintree Rainforest. Ten years later, a Mission was built on land purchased by the Assembly of God (Qld) beside the Daintree River and 50 to 70 people moved there. For the next 20 years, they grew bananas and pineapples, built homes and struggled with a government policy that controlled most aspects of their lives. This is the story of how, in a rapidly changing world, the Kuku Yulanji and the Missionaries sought to understand each other at a time before Reconciliation became a national objective.” (publisher’s blurb)

The Cecchetti Legacy: An Analysis and Description of the Cecchetti Method of Classical Ballet
Ann Hutchinson Guest; Toby Bennett
Alton: Dance Books, 2007.“The Cecchetti Legacy provides a more detailed account of the Cecchetti Method than has hitherto been available. Based largely on Ann Hutchinson Guest’s notations from the 1950’s and 60’s, this is a complete record of all of the enchainements recorded in the manuals including some, which although not ‘original’, reflect important principles of the Method. This book will be of great use to anyone making an in-depth study of Cecchetti’s enchainements as well as those interested in a more general study of their style and technique. It contains an extensive, discursive analysis of the Cecchetti style and technique using word descriptions and Labanotation examples. In addition all of the exercises and enchainements are notated fully in Labanotation, providing a detailed account including some alternative versions taught by early teachers of the work.” (publisher’s blurb)
