Australia is a collection of iconic images collaged to create a quintessential Australian experience, showing the cities and countryside on offer. This book of photographs is designed to take the viewer on a trip around Australia and would appeal to the tourist and local alike. Having travelled through Europe as a tourist taking photographs of any thing and everything, Susan Peters wondered what it would be like to do the same in her own country. Australia is the result. Starting her tour in Sydney, then Canberra and on to Melbourne. Queensland is well represented with images of Brisbane, the Gold Coast, The Whitsundays and Cairns. Darwin and Uluru, Perth, South Australia and Tasmania are all included. A key figure in the establishment of the Greater Newcastle Building Society. This book sets out to chart the remarkable career of this inspirational Novocastrian.

Based on incisive analyses of economic globalization, class, politics, and bureaucracy, The Assault on Social Policy examines the ordinary speech used to make poverty and extreme inequality seem acceptable, the corporate strategies co-opting the distribution of wealth and other resources, and the negative effect of these efforts on our more vulnerable citizens, such as those with disabilities, incarcerated individuals, children, and the elderly. This second edition incorporates new research on the hotly contested policies dealing with poverty, welfare, disability, social security, and health care. It also takes stock of the ongoing effects of globalization and adds a chapter on education.

American social policy today largely serves global corporate interests rather than the general public, according to William Roth. Based on incisive analyses of economic globalization, class, politics, and bureaucracy, "The Assault on Social Policy" argues that the perfection of the free market is a myth. Roth analyzes the rhetoric used to make poverty seem acceptable, shows how corporations affect the distribution of wealth and other resources, and considers the effect on disabled people, criminals, children, and health care. He concludes that increased transnational corporate power has created the need for large-scale systematic public policy changes.
