  • A Life of Thinking the Andersonian Tradition in Australian Philosophy a Chronological Bibliography
    own. One of these, of the University Archive collections of Anderson material (2006) owes to the unstinting co-operation of of Archives staff: Julia Mant, Nyree Morrison, Tim Robinson and Anne Picot. I have further added material from other sources: bibliographical A Life of Thinking notes (most especially, James Franklin’s 2003 Corrupting the The Andersonian Tradition in Australian Philosophy Youth), internet searches, and compilations of Andersonian material such as may be found in Heraclitus, the pre-Heraclitus a chronological bibliography Libertarian Broadsheet, the post-Heraclitus Sydney Realist, and Mark Weblin’s JA and The Northern Line. The attempt to chronologically line up Anderson’s own work against the work of James Packer others showing some greater or lesser interest in it, seems to me a necessary move to contextualise not only Anderson himself, but Australian philosophy and politics in the twentieth century and beyond—and perhaps, more broadly still, a realist tradition that Australia now exports to the world. Introductory Note What are the origins and substance of this “realist tradition”? Perhaps the best summary of it is to be found in Anderson’s own The first comprehensive Anderson bibliography was the one reading, currently represented in the books in Anderson’s library constructed for Studies in Empirical Philosophy (1962). It listed as bequeathed to the University of Sydney. I supply an edited but Anderson’s published philsophical work and a fair representation unabridged version of the list of these books that appears on the of his published social criticism. In 1984 Geraldine Suter published John Anderson SETIS website, to follow the bibliography proper.

  • Arthur Alexander Banning - Poems
    Classic Poetry Series Arthur Alexander Banning - poems - Publication Date: 2012 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive Arthur Alexander Banning(27 June 1921 - 2 November 1965) Arthur Alexander (Lex) Banning was an Australian lyric poet. Disabled from birth by cerebral palsy, he was unable to speak clearly or to write with a pen. "Yet he overcame his handicap to produce poems which were often hauntingly beautiful and frequently ironic, and gave to other, younger poets a strong sense of the importance and value of their calling". Such younger poets included Clive James, Les Murray and Geoffrey Lehmann. <b>Early Life</b> <b>A note on sources</b> By good fortune, one of Banning's closest friends was the late Richard Appleton ("Appo"), a bohemian writer and raconteur who met the poet in Sydney's Lincoln coffee lounge, about 1950. Appleton later became editor-in-chief of the Australian Encyclopaedia and, in 1983, was co-editor with Alex Galloway of the posthumous Banning collection There Was a Crooked Man which includes reliable biographical information. In writing this, Appleton received the benefit of access to a collection of letters in the possession of Dr Anne Banning. <b>Birth and disability</b> Lex Banning was born on 27 June 1921 in Royal North Shore Hospital, Sydney, son of Arthur Antoine Banning, a waiter from Belgium who later became a theatre proprietor, and his native-born wife Helma Louise, née Hall, of Scots and Swedish descent. As a result of a difficult birth, the infant suffered from athetoid cerebral palsy, a spastic condition against which he was to struggle all his life.

  • A Bibliography for Australian Universities
    A Bibliography for Australian Universities Compiled by Naomi Cat den THE AUSTRALIAN NATIONAL UNIVERSITY CANBERRA This book was published by ANU Press between 1965–1991. This republication is part of the digitisation project being carried out by Scholarly Information Services/Library and ANU Press. This project aims to make past scholarly works published by The Australian National University available to a global audience under its open-access policy. A Bibliography for Australian Universities compiled by NAOMI CAIDEN Department of Sociology The Australian National University ’yZ/rr" -— ■ THE AUSTRALIAN NATIONAL UNIVERSITY CANBERRA First printed in Vestes, September 1964-March 1965 Re-issued by The Australian National University in this format, December 1965 1963 i A BIBLIOGRAPHY FOR AUSTRALIAN UNIVERSITIES Compiled by N aomi Gaiden FOREWORD This bibliography is an attempt to provide an index to books, articles and other publications about Australian universities. It is not a selective bibliography, but is rather an effort to compile as compre­ hensive a list of references as possible, as a kind of check-list to what is available to the general reader or research worker. It has been divided into two parts, the first of which contains material directly relating to the internal affairs of the universities, whilst the items in the second concern more peripheral topics. The divisions between the two parts and the sections within them are by no means hard and fast and the inevitable overlapping has been resolved by cross-refer­ ences. For example, “University courses—education” in Part I over­ laps with “Teacher education” in Part II. A further problem concerns selection of the material.
