Trading Places
The Landscape of Dreams
Tim Harcourt (B Ec (Hons)1987)
Margaret Dingle (BA 1967, MA 1999)
In Trading Places, Tim Harcourt –
also known as the Airport Economist
– takes you around the globe, talking
to businesses, governments, union
officials, NGOs and others in the
community to understand what makes
each economy tick. He reveals where
the opportunities are, identifies the
risks, and provides insider tips on
doing business in each destination.
Margaret Dingle, writing under her maiden
name, Margaret Fensom, has published
her first full-length book of poetry, The
Landscape of Dreams, published by
Ginninderra Press. Topics include travel,
nature, the environment and other social
concerns, and expressions of faith and
doubt. The final section relates to CS
Lewis’ Chronicles of Narnia.
Letter from Ramazzini
There and Back with a Dinkum
Nicholas Grey (B Ec 1979, BA 1987,
Grad Dip Occ Hlth 1995)
W R G Colman (BE 1922), edited by Claire Woods
(BA (Hons) 1973), Paul Skrebels (PhD Arts 1992)
Bernardino Ramazzini, the 18th century
Italian academic and physician, is
universally acknowledged as the
father of occupational medicine. Three
centuries after his death, as a tribute to
his life’s work, his classic academic text
‘A Treatise on the Diseases of Working
People’ has been given a makeover in
verse by Nicholas Grey.
This is the remarkable account of Russell
Colman, a young student who enlisted and
served in the 27th Battalion during the First
World War. After sitting in the archives of
the Australian War Memorial for the past
80 years, Colman’s words now come to life,
and tell us what it means to be a civilian in
a soldier’s world.
