Review # 1 was written on 2019-10-26 00:00:00 Aubrey Burroughs What an unexpected delight! I borrowed this book when I was working on Catherine Helen Spence a few months back, because I wanted to read Susan Magarey’s chapter about Spence’s domestic life. In addition to Margarey’s chapter, I found a collection of fascinating essays written by academics who worked alongside or as graduate students of ANU historian Francis Barrymore (F.B) Smith, a historian of whom I’d largely been unaware... These various chapters, each self-contained and accessible, written by top-notch historians, are all a reflection of Smith’s own work and influence. They also demonstrate the ripple effect of research: that others pick up one academic’s ideas and interests and make them their own, adding to and deepening the conversation and taking it forward.

Review # 2 was written on 2009-10-16 00:00:00 Chris Kohl A combination of science and philosophy rather than work of fiction. Author intended to write a useful book..and definitely succeeded.
