[Streeter's shed] [picture] /
No full textTitle devised by cataloguer based on information from acquisition file number 204/02/00071.; Condition: Good.; Photograph signed by artist on verso.; The board above Donnelly McKenzie reads: "Sorry, we don't sell any pearl shells here."; Part of the collection of photographs of pearl shells at Broome, Western Australia by Roger Garwood. "'Streeter's Shed' at the land side of Streeter's Jetty was used to grade the large pearl shell. For many years mother of pearl was used for the manufacture of pearl buttons and for decorating matadors 'suits of light' in Spain. The wider use of plastics in the early 1950's placed pressure on the pearling industry but, coinciding with this period, Japanese investors developed a technique for seeding the large Broome pearls. A pearl farm was established in Kuri Bay in the Kimberley region. The use of live shell to culture pearls has since become the mainstay of the modern industry and this shed fell into disrepair and the shed was demolished in the late 1980's. At times shell was stacked as high as the ceiling. Donnelly McKenzie is pictured sorting shell."--Notes from artist

Book Review: "A Political Philosophy: Arguments for Conservatism" by Roger Scruton, Continuum, London, 2006.
No full textFor a conservative, Roger Scruton does rather a lot of thinking. He wishes to make the intellectual case for conservatism, and counter the prevailing assumption that as a political project it lacks philosophical depth. Scruton's most significant contribution in this regard remains his landmark volume The Meaning of Conservatism (1980), and readers in search of the definitive statement of Scruton-ism should prefer that text over the one under review here. In spite of its title, this book is less a statement of a political philosophy than a collection of essays informed by one. It provides a useful introduction to much of Scruton's recent work, containing chapters on a diverse range of topics including animal rights, the nation, postmodernism, marriage and T. S. Eliot
