"For the best part of a year, Monte Dwyer travelled the country sourcing stories for broadcast on Charles Wooley's radio program, Across Australia. From drought to flooding rains, through changing seasons and federal governments he talked to many hundreds of people about life in the bush and recorded their stories." "With surprisingly deft touch he has embroidered these stories with recollections and perceptions of his own, and woven this beautiful patchwork-quilt of a book about Australia and its people." "Red in the Centre is undoubtedly an Australian journey, yet to dismiss it as an Australiana travelogue would be to call Hemmingway's The Old Man and the Sea a fishing book." "This is a well-written, almost voyeuristic look at what Australians are doing out there in the bush when nobody's looking, by a man who like to watch."--Back cover.

Based on historical events that took place on the Texas-Mexico border in the 1850s, Blood Meridian traces the fortunes of the Kid, a fourteen-year-old Tennesseean who stumbles into the nightmarish world where Indians are being murdered and the market for their scalps is thriving. Look for Cormac McCarthy's latest bestselling novels, The Passenger and Stella Maris.

Visitors to the Red Centre come looking for the real Australia, but find a place both beautiful and disturbing. There is wilderness, desire and an Aboriginal philosophy of home. But there is also the confusing countenance of the Australian frontier, a meeting place between black and white, ancient and modern. Songlines and Fault Lines explores the Red Centre through the eyes of those who have walked it, in six remarkable stories that have shaped our nation. It follows Aboriginal Dreamtime Ancestors along a songline, trudges with John McDouall Stuart as he crosses the continent, and walks the Finke River in the footsteps of anthropologist T.G.H. Strehlow. It keeps pace with conservationist Arthur Groom as he reimagines the country's heart as tourist playground, ponders a philosophy of walking with British travel writer Bruce Chatwin, and then strolls the grog-troubled streets of Alice Springs with Eleanor Hogan. Retracing time-worn pathways and stories of Australia's centre, Glenn Morrison finds fresh answers to age-old queries.
