John McEwen
John 'Black Jack' McEwen, leader of the federal Country Party and deputy Prime Minister, was Australia's most significant and longest serving Minister for Trade. His policies, known as 'McEwenism, ' forged the nation's post Second World War economic boom ushering in an era of unprecedented full employment and prosperity for all Australians. They assisted in building a modern industrial economy, a truly independent nation and underpinned Australia's successful post war immigration program. As Prime Minister following Harold Holt's tragic death in 1967, McEwen provided the calm and stable leadership the nation needed. 'McEwenism, ' derided by the Right and dismantled by Left, is now being reco...
Black Jack McEwen
John McEwen, thirty-seven years a politician, twenty-three days a Prime Minister and always a farmer, was an extraordinary mix of a man. His staff revered him and his adversaries feared him. There was no one, friend or foe, who did not respect him. Orphaned at seven and raised in poverty, this self-educated soldier-settler overcame difficult beginnings to dominate the Australian political arena for twenty years. The success of the Liberal-Country Party coalition throughout the fifties and sixties is largely attributed to McEwen's strength and influence. Towering and formidable in both stature and personality, Black Jack's turbulent political career was never without controversy. His succession to the Prime Ministership in 1967, after the disappearance of Holt, followed one of the most notorious episodes of Australian political history when McEwen refused to serve under McMahon. Black Jack's commitment to developing Australian trade won him international respect and his influence on Australian economic and trade policy is enduring.

Creating Memory
Toronto has over 600 public outdoor sculptures, works of art that provide a sense of the rich variety of life and work in the city, its peoples, cultures and aspirations. Interest in commissioning public sculpture began slowly in the nineteenth and early twentieth century, but increased rapidly after the 1950s.This is a book about the sculptures and how they disclose the city to itself. Creating Memory’s two introductory sections examine the factors behind this expansion over time and the changes in style as one generation of sculptors succeeded another. It looks at the reasons behind the changes as sculptures were conceived, sculpted and erected. More than 10 categories of sculptures are defined and discussed, including Founding the City, Natural Environment, Immigration, Ethnic Groups, Economic Activities, Disaster and Calamity, War And Conflict, Leaders, Ordinary Citizens, Community Life, and Works of the Imagination.

Australia's Prime Ministers
Since Australia's first Federal election, in 1901, the contest for the Prime Ministership has come to resemble the presidential-style elections of the United States. Of Australia's 25 Prime Ministers, some have towered over their party, Parliament and the national political scene in just the same way as some American presidents have. This book tells the story of every one of them.
John Bellany
John Bellany is the most influential Scottish painter since the war, re-establishing a native, figurative art at a time when Modernism and abstraction seemed invincible. His paintings are in the collections of major museums and art galleries around the world, including the National Galleries of Scotland, The Tate Gallery, and The Museum of Modern Art and Metropolitan Museum in New York. John McEwen’s book takes the reader through the truly amazing life and works of one of Britain’s foremost living artists.
