The Living History Anthology brings together twenty-six practical
essays on the craft of establishing and running living history
museums. Contributions cover all aspects of developing and running
a living history site. Including contributions on strategic
planning, human resource management, research programs, collection
policies, and engagement with varied audiences, including
indigenous groups, the book demonstrates how to approach such tasks
from a living history perspective. Topics unique to the sector,
such as re-enactment, historic trade crafts, and working with
machinery and livestock, are also covered. Each essay is briefly
introduced and contextualized by the editors, while the collection
is bookended by a new foreword and afterword from Debra A. Reid,
and an introduction from the editors. Representing the collective
wisdom of the Association for Living History, Farm and Agricultural
Museums (ALHFAM) members across the decades, The Living History
Anthology provides a valuable resource for all living history
practitioners. It should also be of interest to students and
scholars studying living history.

Little Captive: Wait for Freedom is the inspiring true story of a
child whose city was bombed, whose rescue ship was sunk, and who
was held prisoner of war by the Japanese during World War II.
Author Susan McCabe knew it was a story that had to be told when
she met Des Woodford at his home in Perth Australia, where she and
her family had moved from Canada. The story takes the reader with
the young Des on his journey of adventure, pain, suffering, heroism
and survival. This book not only tells the dramatic tale of what
happened, it reveals the inner journey of the soul of the child,
and leaves us breathless with admiration at his strength and depth
of character. Des lives for us, as do his parents Rosy and Sonny,
who share his ordeal, though they are all ripped apart before being
brought back together. There are camp heroes like the Dutch Barfing
brothers, the irrepressible Aussie jockeys who take on the brutal
prison guards, and Des's pet chicks Bluey and Koefer. All of them -
even the pet birds - become three-dimensional, living breathing
personalities who engage our feelings.
