Australia’s ImpressionistsCHRISTOPHER RIOPELLE, TIMOTHY BONYHADY, ALLISON GOUDIE, SARAH THOMAS AND WAYNE TUNNICLIFFE WITH CONTRIBUTIONS BY ALEX TAYLOR • Features over 35 paintings, including

important masterpieces by Tom Roberts, Charles Conder, Arthur Streeton, and John Peter Russell. 60 color illustrations.

• John Peter Russell, a friend and correspondent of Conder, was born and died in Sydney, but spent some 40 years as an expatriate in Europe. Russell rarely exhibited and was only rediscovered, as ‘Australia’s lost impressionist’ in the second half of the 20th century.

• Begins at a fascinating period in the nation’s cultural history: in 1888, Australia had celebrated its centenary, and there was a growing sense within the non-Indigenous community of what it meant to be ‘Australian’.

Timothy Bonyhady is Professor of Law at ANU College of Law.

Coffee, Tea, and Chocolate: Consuming the WorldYAO-FEN YOU, MIMI HELLMAN AND HOPE SASKACoffee, tea, and chocolate were all the rage in Enlightenment Europe. These fashionable beverages profoundly shaped modes of sociability and patterns of consumption, yet none of the plants required for their preparation was native to the continent: coffee was imported from the Levant, tea from Asia, and chocolate from Mesoamerica. Their introduction to 17th-century Europe revolutionized drinking habits and social customs. It also spurred an insatiable demand for specialized vessels such as hot beverage services and tea canisters, coffee cups and chocolate pots. This beautiful book demonstrates how the paraphernalia associated with coffee, tea, and chocolate can eloquently evoke the culture of these new beverages and the material pleasures that surrounded them. 90 color illustrations.

ECONOMICSForging Capitalism: Rogues, Swindlers, Frauds, and the Rise of Modern Finance (New in Paperback)IAN KLAUSVice is endemic to Western capitalism, according to this fascinating, wildly entertaining, often startling history of modern finance. Ian Klaus’s Forging Capitalism demonstrates how international financial affairs in the nineteenth century were conducted not only by gentlemen as a noble pursuit but also by connivers, thieves, swindlers, and frauds who believed that no risk was too great and no scheme too outrageous if the monetary reward was substantial enough. Taken together, the grand deceptions of the ambitious schemers and the determined efforts to guard against them have been instrumental in creating the financial establishments of today.Part of the Yale Series in Economic and Financial History.

HEALTHHuman Heart, Cosmic Heart: A Doctor’s Quest to Understand, Treat, and Prevent Cardiovascular DiseaseTHOMAS COWAN Thomas Cowan was a 20-year-old when he joined the Peace Corps in the mid-1970s for a two-year tour in Swaziland. There, he encountered the work of Rudolf Steiner and Weston A. Price—two men whose ideas would fascinate and challenge him for decades to come. Cowan returned from Swaziland, went to medical school, and established a practice. For years he remained intrigued by the work of Price and Steiner and, in particular, with Steiner’s provocative claim that the heart is not a pump. Determined to practice medicine in a way that promoted healing rather than compounded ailments, Cowan dedicated himself to understanding whether Steiner’s claim could possibly be true. And if Steiner was correct, what, then, is the heart? What is its true role in the human body?

The Wild and the Wicked: On Nature and Human NatureBENJAMIN HALEMost of us think that in order to be environmentalists, we have to love nature. Essentially, we should be tree huggers—embracing majestic redwoods, mighty oaks, graceful birches, etc. We ought to eat granola, drive hybrids, cook tofu, and write our appointments in Sierra Club calendars. Nature’s splendor, in other words, justifies our protection of it. But, asks Benjamin Hale in this provocative book, what about tsunamis, earthquakes, cancer, bird flu, killer asteroids? They are nature, too. For years, environmentalists have insisted that nature is fundamentally good. In The Wild and the Wicked, Benjamin Hale adopts the opposite position—that much of the time nature can be bad—in order to show that even if nature is cruel, we still need to be environmentally conscientious. 22 illustrations.

STEINERThe Ten Commandments in EvolutionERNST KATZAfter some three millennia, why write anything further on the Ten Commandments? They have been discussed, parsed, codified, moralized, and much more.
