During the years 1850-1910, the United States evolved from an
agrarian to an industrial political economy. By the end of the
century, industrialization has shifted the entire political system
toward national government power, beginning a trend that continues
today.
An understanding of the importance of state government and, in
particular, of the lower houses of the legislatures at this time is
crucial to an understanding of how American politics was
transformed in the second half of the nineteenth century. This
study compares the speakers of these influential nineteenth-century
American political bodies and focuses on the legislative issues of
the period. The largest collection of biographical data of its kind
to date, the book profiles the 1,390 speakers in the period from
1850 to 1910. The collective career analysis of the individuals
covered provides an unprecedented exploration of the socioeconomic
issues, the governmental processes, and the political behavior of
the times to allow a more thorough understanding of the transition
from an agrarian to an industrial state. This comprehensive study
of state political power will provide fresh insight into the
American legislative system of the latter half of the nineteenth
century and will be of special value to scholars of American
political history and political science.

Sydney University Cricket Club is one of the oldest cricket clubs
in Australia. Only a few years after the University was founded in
1850, the University fielded a cricket team against the Garrison
Club, and played on what was once called the Garrison Ground, and
is today the Sydney Cricket Ground. Over the next 150 years, the
club fielded players of all levels of ability, and has been
fortunate to have some very talented players on its teams. This
book details the people and events that have shaped the development
of the club: from Tom Garrett, the University's first Test player,
men of prominence such as Edmund Barton and Doc Evatt, through to
today's elite players like Ed Cowan.

The Emperor: demented, paranoid, all-powerful. The Sorcerer:
obsessed with destroying the monster. The Woman: the fly in the
ointment? Jeseque Debrone, newly graduated avionics engineer, is
eager to make the most of her unexpected post in the Imperial
Defence Forces, a position she recognises as the ideal launching
pad for her subversive career. Ironically, her transmission of
classified information to the rebels in the north results in her
inclusion in a top-secret mission. But Jeseque doesn’t buy the
official line, that she and her crewmates are aboard an
interstellar spacecraft, embarking upon a 30-lightyear journey to a
sister planet. She believes that the heavily armed craft is in fact
a secret weapons platform, with its sights set on the troublesome
tribes in the north. The presence of secretive magicians and their
unfathomable technologies only serves to increase her mistrust.
Destlar, the Eternal Emperor and the focus of Jeseque’s hatred,
is demented, paranoid and all-powerful. Though he is ignorant of
the fact, physical death for him is but a step to omnipotent
carnage and chaos. How does one go about destroying such a monster?
One magician believes he has the answer, and the interstellar
voyage is the culmination of his centuries-long machinations.
Jeseque unwittingly steps in the path of the sorcerer’s hurtling
train, and almost derails it.
