The Demidenko story so far [Monkeys discussing controversial author Helen Darville/Demidenko] [picture] /
No full textTitle devised by cataloguer.; Published in the Canberra Times on 22 August 1995.; Part of the Pryor collection of cartoons and drawings.; Also available in an electronic version via the Internet at: http://nla.gov.au/nla.pic-vn3512930. Helen Demidenko's controversial book 'The Hand that Signed the Paper' causes much comment from the 'chatterati' when it wins the 1995 Miles Franklin Award . When the author is later revealed to be Helen Darville and the book itself to be a total invention, the comment continues unabated.--Information supplied by Geoff Pryor
"Lies! - nothing but lies and misrepresentations - should sell a squillion!" [the Demidenko diary] [picture] /
No full textTitle devised by cataloguer.; Published in the Canberra Times on 7 January 1996.; Part of the Pryor collection of cartoons and drawings.; Also available in an electronic version via the Internet at: http://nla.gov.au/nla.pic-vn3524010. 'The Hand that Signed the Paper', by Helen Demidenko, a supposedly true account of a Ukranian family's involvement in the Holocaust and the winner of the 1996 Miles Franklin Award, is exposed as a hoax when the author, real name Helen Darville, is revealed as having made it all up. Darville, an odd person to say the least, would hardly be disappointed at the outcome, you might think.--Information provided by Geoff Pryor

No full textTitle devised by cataloguer from information provided on image.; Part of the Pryor collection of cartoons and drawings.; Published in the Canberra Times on 14th March 1999.; Also available in an electronic version via the Internet at: http://nla.gov.au/nla.pic-vn4352342. Tony Abbott and Peter Costello win their defamation case in the ACT Supreme Court against writer Bob Ellis for a passing reference to the pair's sexual behaviour in their days as Young Liberals in his book of reminisences 'Goodbye Jerusalem: the Night Thoughts of a Labor Outsider'. Everyone acknowledges the law can be a lottery, but nevertheless you would imagine Ellis' publisher, Random House, would be less than happy with their wayward author.--Information provided by Geoff Pryor
Lost conversations: finding new ways for black and white Australians to lead together
No full textIt\u27s time for a game-changer in how black and white Australians relate.
The difficulties we have in coming together—to talk, to work, to lead change—are core to our challenge to reconcile, as a country. But if we want to shift the status quo, if we want to lead change on entrenched Indigenous disadvantage, we don\u27t need another program, initiative or money to try and \u27fix\u27 the problem. We need to start having a different conversation.
The result of two years experience working together as part of a Social Leadership Australia initiative, Lost Conversations brings together the diverse perspectives and personal stories of five Aboriginal and four non-Indigenous authors, all with first-hand knowledge of what happens when black and white Australians come together to try and work on change.
Lost Conversations asks the questions and starts the conversations that we daren\u27t have in Australia ... until now:
What is \u27black\u27 power?
What is \u27white\u27 power?
What qualifies someone to lead in this cross-cultural space?
Why is this so hard to talk about?
Can we start to name these things and try to shift the status quo?
Can we change?
Should we?
 
Matter: a very short introduction
No full textWhat is matter? Matter is the stuff from which we and all the things in the world are made. Everything around us, from desks, to books, to our own bodies are made of atoms, which are small enough that a million of them can fit across the breadth of a human hair. Inside every atom is a tiny nucleus and orbiting the nucleus is a cloud of electrons. The nucleus is made out of protons and neutrons, and by zooming in further you would find that inside each there are even smaller particles, quarks. Together with electrons, the quarks are the smallest particles that have been seen, and are the indivisible fundamental particles of nature that have existed since the Big Bang, almost 14 billion years ago. The 92 different chemical elements that all normal matter is made from were forged billions of years ago in the Big Bang, inside stars, and in violent stellar explosions. This Very Short Introdiction takes us on a journey from the human scale of matter in the familiar everyday forms of solids, liquids, and gases to plasmas, exotic forms of quantum matter, and antimatter. On the largest scales matter is sculpted by gravity into planets, stars, galaxies, and vast clusters of galaxies. All the matter that that we normally encounter however constitutes only 5% of the matter that exists. The remaining 95% comes in two mysterious forms: dark matter, and dark energy. Dark matter is necessary to stop the galaxies from flying apart, and dark energy is needed to explain the observed acceleration of the expansion of the universe. Geoff Cottrell explores the latest research into matter, and shows that there is still a lot we don't know about the stuff our universe is made of
