NEW BOOKS

Pavillion on The Village Green cover The Pavilion on The Village Green
The University of New South Wales Sports Association has grown from a modest institution to a businesslike organisation. Richard Cashman, Anthony Hughes and Zolton Zavos examine the history of the Association and the ongoing debate about whether the goal of sport is to enhance the life of clubs and the university community more generally or whether sport is a revenue-generating commercial product.

Peter Sharpham explores some of the reasons why Macartney's achievements have not been properly acknowledged.

How Many More Are Coming? How Many More Are Coming?
Winner of the Siberian Cricket Society Literary Award 2003-4
'How many more are coming?' were the probably last words uttered by Jack Marsh. It is not clear whether these words were defiant growl, taunting the two men who attacked and ultimately killed him outside an Orange hotel or whether this was a sigh of resignation in the face of, yet again, impossible odds. This biography tells the story of an athlete who achieved remarkable success in two sports.

GENERAL LIST

Dead Parrot Dead Parrot (Reprinted January 2005)

It explores how and why some birders have transformed this 'genteel' pursuit into a competitive sport. Set in Sydney, Dead Parrot has some astute and humorous observations and insights into life in the emerald city.
