In December 2006, dons at Oxford University caused turmoil by
rejecting a set of governance reforms that were championed by their
own vice-chancellor. This book is a response to these events,
addressed in large part to Oxford's funders - government and
benefactors - and is essential reading for all with an interest in
the future of this great university. Sir Anthony Kenny was formerly
Master of Balliol College, Oxford and president of the British
Academy. He is the author of many books on philosophy and over
forty years has held almost every kind of post in Oxford from
graduate student to pro-vice-chancellor. Robert Kenny is managing
director of a consulting firm.

Originally published in 1913, this classic treatise by Sigmund
Freud applies psychoanalytic theory to the anthropological study of
"primitive" peoples in order to explain the invention of religion,
incest taboos, and civilization itself. As controversial as it has
been influential, its impact continues to be felt a century after
its initial publication. In a new foreword, the historian Robert
Kenny puts the work in contextand suggests why it remains iconic.
Dr. Kenny in an Australian Research Councilfellow at La Trobe
University currently researching the relationship between
psychology and anthropology. His The Lamb Enters the Dreaming won
the Prime Minister's Prize for Australian History in 2008.

In 2009, as the Black Saturday wildfires swept through the state of
Victoria, Australia, writer and historian Robert Kenny defended his
home in Redesdale. His fire plan was sound and he was prepared.
But, the reality of the fire was more ferocious and more
unpredictable than he could have imagined. By the end of the day,
Kenny's house and the life contained within were gone. The years
that followed were marked by grieving, recovering, and eventually
rebuilding - a process starkly framed by the choice between
remembering and forgetting. This resulting book is a riveting story
of personal loss, woven with intellectual and historical
investigations of: fire in the Australian landscape; mythologies of
fire; and ideas of loss, home, and community. Offering something of
value for the victims of wildfires, this personal account is
stimulating writing, edged with beauty, grief, and hope. *** ." . .
a tapestry of personal testimony, historical meditation and
mythological reflection that is brilliant, moving and powerful." -
Tom Griffiths, author of Forests of Ash
