Australia's Liquid Gold (Mitchell Beazley Classic Wine Library S.) -  Nicholas Faith
"The Australian wine industry has virtually reinvented itself... it has proved a great ambassador for Australia." Brian Croser, winemaker. But how did it all happen? How did Australia achieve such phenomenal success in its wine business? Historian and wine writer, Nicholas Faith gives an in-depth account of the growth and international boom of Australia's wine industry and describes how these wines have risen to the point of becoming the world's number one wine choice. The story of wine in Australia is relatively untold, yet Australia is setting the pace for this product world-wide. This book examines the best elements in Australia's character - from willingness to innovate to a disregard for tradition to embracing exactly what the consumer demands, and charts the success and story of Australia's wine trade.

Aboriginal Art (Art & Ideas S.) -  by Howard Morphy
Aboriginal art has survived the colonial period to become a major feature of contemporary Australian society. This book surveys the great variety in Aboriginal art, from ancient rock paintings to powerful modern works in acrylic on canvas. The patterns and symbols of Aboriginal art, though they may at first appear abstract, are laden with meaning. Morphy explains the social contexts in which art is made and its religious significance. The book uses a contextual approach to show the interrelationships between such diverse art forms as body painting, dance, the decoration of weapons and utensils, and painting on bark, board and canvas. The text is illustrated with outstanding examples, many published here for the first time. Today, Aboriginal art is seen as an expression of Aboriginal history, culture and identity. This text explains why its international audience is growing.
