Born Gerhard Cremer in Belgium on 5 March 1512, Mercator later adopted the Latinised form of his surname, which means ‘merchant’. According to the Library’s Head of Maps, Andy Carr, Mercator combined his schooling in mathematics, geography and astronomy with remarkable talents in calligraphy and printing. He pioneered cursive italics for placenames on maps, and was the first to use the word ‘atlas’ for a book of maps. Mercator developed a method, still used today, of projecting the spherical earth onto a rectangular sheet of paper for navigational purposes. A portrait of Mercator (pictured left) with fellow cartographer Hendrik Hondius is on display in the Dalgety Walkway until 19 March.

George Caddy’s photo of ‘beachobatics’ at Bondi in 1938 was one of almost 300 negatives found in a shoebox by his son Paul after George’s death in 1983. A selection of these astonishing images was featured in the Library’s Bondi Jitterbug exhibition in 2008. Koons admired the photograph because the acrobats’ pose forms a shape similar to a peace sign. He said: ‘The image is very powerful and references classical beauty through the equilibrium of mind and body.’ The plate is being sold as part of a fundraising effort for the Art Production Fund.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand marking: or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

Her style is challenging notions of cultural musical identity and the vocal characteristics that are associated with a particular environment. The ways in which Chambers approaches Country Music and the connection to the development of cultural identity is reflected in her music . The connection of what? In this paper I will touch on the phenomenon of her broad Australian-speaking accent and her American accented singing voice. The success of Chambers’ sound raises vital issues about the national character in Australian popular music. It is an interesting representation of the globalisation of international music culture that an Australian singer is being so highly regarded in the North American press as representing the latest (re-) incarnation of American roots/country music. In order to understand and comment comprehensively on the implications of foreign sources, cultural influences and their combined impact on new practices, in particular with Chambers, a thorough analysis must include music and industry marketing, musical fashion and tastes, lyrics and musical style, instrumentation, arranging and orchestration.

  • “Covering” the Bluesman from a Distance
    Introduction In many ways, my journey towards this thesis topic began with my brother’s music collection. Throughout my teens he would introduce me to a wide range of local and international acts, many of which were influenced by African-American blues artists. This influence is evident in both their construction of sound and the old songs that they rerecorded. From there I began tracing musical influences from song credits and interview excerpts—a path often travelled by musicians and fans alike—that would eventually lead me to an appreciation of blues music. The penultimate step towards this topic came in the form of my honours thesis—a creative project that involved rerecording several tracks from the catalogue of an early Australian country music artist, one of which was titled “Blue Mountain Blues”.1 From there I turned to blues music in Australia. Initially conceived as a history of “Australian blues”, it became apparent that this proposed sub-genre struggled to unify and explain the disparate musical styles contained therein. Although each artist was clearly addressing the musical characteristics and influences I had come to recognise as “blues music”, it all sounded different. In the meantime, I developed a keen interest in a fellow colleague’s thesis topic that addressed the role of “covers” within the Australian music industry (Giuffre, 2005). My epiphany—and catalyst for the current thesis topic—eventually presented itself while viewing a live performance from Peter Green Splinter Group. The concert was split into two courses: an acoustic entrée featuring several Robert Johnson “covers”; and, an electric main with side dishes of early Fleetwood Mac material—the band Green had help found many years ago.
