This book brings together great Labor speeches which give voice to the party's enduring values and achievements, and place it and its principal figures at the centre of historic events.There are speeches that stir the imagination and inspire, speeches that appeal to humanity, speeches of sorrow and redemption, speeches that urge moderation and caution, speeches that call for courage in the face of adversity, speeches that seek to mute the trumpet sound of war, speeches that attack the forces of conservatism, and speeches which celebrate and mourn the party's fallen.Chris Watson articulates Labor's purpose as "a light upon a mountain" - four decades beforeBen Chifley's famed "light on the hill" speech John Curtin tells a hushed parliament that "a great naval battle is proceeding"Gough Whitlam declares "It's time" for a new Labor governmentBob Hawke's urges South Africa's apartheid leaders to listen to "the spirit of men and women yearning to be free"Paul Keating's belief in Labor as "the people who can dream the big dreams and do the big things"Kevin Rudd says "We are Sorry" to the stolen generations of Aboriginal AustraliansClip from the author, reproduced with permission from The Australian:http://video.theaustralian.com.au/2305217661/Labors-greatest-speeches

What sets humans apart from cyborgs? Sixteen-year-old Jeremy Q. Taylor is about to find out. After losing his mother the year before, Jeremy feels more alone than ever. Then his dad surprises Jeremy with a new "brother." Addison is a cyborg, who looks to be about eighteen. But he's not just any cyborg. He's almost perfect in every way. When the plans to mass-produce the cyborg are sold to a robotics company, things get complicated. Can they reverse engineer the cyborg? What if something goes wrong? The possibility of this occurring creates fear and anger in those who have grown to love Addison. Going into hiding may be his only chance to survive.

Authored by an international team of academics, Gender in Film and the Media responds to continuing debates about representation and gender in cinema and other media, with a particular concentration on the ways in which they may relate to the Central European context since 1989. The emphasis of these essays, on the intersections between social and cultural formations and practices of gender, represents an attempt to move beyond the abstractions of the founding texts in this field, and to ground theoretical reflection in close textual and contextual analysis. This book thus also represents the expansion of cultural exchange between East and West since 1989, which has created new and challenging opportunities to rethink the imaging of gender in national and international frameworks.
