Foreword by Katherine Brabon

An alienated daughter reconnects with her mother. A woman questions her reality as she struggles to recognise herself. An awkward car ride home from the airport leads to reconciliation. A family enjoys a lavish meal together.

From the moment we are brought into this world we are seeking connections, seeking love, seeking belonging. It is as fundamental to the human existence as breathing, and yet, is something we all struggle so despairingly with. We spend so long trying to fit in, that we neglect to see the connections twining us all together.

Nothing Rhymes with Orange is a moving anthology that offers contemporary meditations on the complexities of belonging. This diverse collection of short stories, personal essays and poems is sure to tug on your heart strings and challenge your understanding of what it means to belong.

Foreword by Shankari Chandran

All lives have two things in common: they begin and they end.

But within each life, there are thousands of little openings and little closings, all happening at once. The day you make the decision to move abroad; the moment a relationship comes to a close; the choice that changes the course of life as you know it. Through many twists and turns, from one passion, one person, one experience to the next, we live not just once, not even twice, but as many times as we may wish. A collection of diverse and unique voices, the stories in Living Twice will take you on a journey through intriguing prologues and fulfilling epilogues. This anthology cradles the expressions of life itself: the rollercoaster that is growing up; experiences of loving and of being loved; and the hope we hold for new beginnings.

鈥淔rom where does joy arise, and to where does it go?鈥濃�� James Puterflam

The movie that you can rely on to brighten your spirits.

The hobby, place, or person that never fails to make a bad day feel that little bit better.

The desire to hold tightly to what we love, the things we believe in, is so uniquely human that it binds us all together.

When difficult days come rolling in, it is the nature of human beings to turn to the things that keep us afloat. Sometimes, they鈥檙e small, so dismissible that to put weight on them seems a fool鈥檚 errand: the smell of baking bread; the joy you feel when, finally, your home garden begins to sprout; the moments we don鈥檛 appreciate when life is going right, only when it鈥檚 going wrong.

But it is these simple pleasures that make us who we are.

In a world of chaos, complications and controversy, it is these thoughts that calm, cultivate and connect. These pages contain the scribbles of pleasure, a look into the simplest of joys, the wildest of passions, found in the moments in between.

鈥淵ou need only turn around the corner to find it. Just where you left it.鈥� 鈥� Vanessa Vu

Our world is built around the people, groups and communities we surround ourselves with. They form networks of connections, beliefs and ideas that can help to shape the people we become. These networks have become vital in a time where lockdowns have pushed us apart, and reinforced the need to be a part of something whole.

This anthology examines the ways we find joy in lockdown, keep people and places alive through memory, and search for connection in an increasingly digital age. Featuring poetry, short stories and visual art, it introduces bold new voices that will command your attention and prompt you to think differently about the relationships that make everyday life worthwhile.

From the late nineteenth century, academic disciplines emerged in universities, marking boundaries of knowledge, teaching and research. Education became a transnational academic discipline, developing across Britain, Europe and North America and providing a foundation for the teaching profession.

Educated in Edinburgh, Alexander Mackie was influenced by German idealist philosophy and by progressive views of teaching drawn from the United States. He carried his academic values across the Empire when he was appointed the inaugural principal of Sydney Teachers鈥� College and professor of education at the University of Sydney.

For almost four decades, Mackie struggled to sustain education as an academic discipline and teaching as an autonomous profession. Failing health hindered his efforts, but many of his values were passed on to his children. Grounded in their father鈥檚 educational philosophy, Mackie鈥檚 daughter, Margaret, and son, John, became academics, engaging with the transnational postwar worlds of inquiry and research.

鈥淭he patterns and designs were laid down on the country and in the minds of Yol艐u by the ancestral beings at the time of creation. They have been passed on through the generations from our great grandparents, to our grandparents, to our parents, to us. They are the reality of this country. They tell us all who we are.鈥� 鈥� Djambawa Marawili AM

Djalkiri are 鈥渇ootprints" 鈥� ancestral imprints on the landscape that provide the Yol艐u people of eastern Arnhem Land with their philosophical foundations.

This book describes how Yol艐u artists and communities keep these foundations strong, and how they have worked with museums to develop a collaborative, community-led approach to the collection and display of their artwork. It includes contributions from Yol艐u elders and artists as well as Indigenous and non-Indigenous historians and curators. Together they explore how the relationship between communities and museums has changed over time.

From the early 20th century, anthropologists and other collectors acquired artworks and objects and took photographs in Arnhem Land that became part of collections at the University of Sydney. Later generations of Yol艐u have sought out these materials and, with museum curators, proposed a new type of relationship, based on a deeper respect for Yol艐u intellectual frameworks and a commitment to their central role in curation. This book tells some of their stories.

Featuring over 300 colour images, Djalkiri is published in conjunction with a largescale exhibition of Yol艐u art and culture at the University of Sydney鈥檚 new Chau Chak Wing Museum, opening in November 2020. Spanning almost 100 years of our shared history, these collections can expand our understanding of the past and help us to shape the future.

Sydney University Cricket Club is one of the oldest cricket clubs in Australia. Only a few years after the University was founded in 1850, the University fielded a cricket team against the Garrison Club, and played on what was once called the Garrison Ground, and is today the Sydney Cricket Ground.

Over the next 150 years, the club fielded players of all levels of ability, and has been fortunate to have some very talented players on its teams. This book details the people and events that have shaped the development of the club: from Tom Garrett, the University's first Test player, men of prominence such as Edmund Barton and Doc Evatt, through to today's elite players like Ed Cowan.

From its beginnings in 1850, the University of Sydney was created as an institution to suit the needs of New South Wales, not simply to reflect England's ancient universities. A founding principle was that academic merit alone regardless of religious beliefs or social upbringing would be the test for admission.

Sydney: the Making of a Public University explores the principle of public engagement and how it came into practice and was shaped by succeeding generations. From staff, students and curriculum, to sports, philanthropy, faiths and research, Julia Horne and Geoffrey Sherington probe the meaning of the first hundred and sixty years of Sydney University, one of the first public universities in the world.

Richly illustrated, Sydney: the Making of a Public University tells the story of the University of Sydney and its distinctively Australian character.

This is the hard cover with dust jacket edition.

For nearly a millennium, universities have searched for knowledge, understanding and truth. Internationally renowned neuro scientist, Professor Maxwell Bennett, evaluates the work of 20 of the greatest scholars in the University of Sydney鈥檚 history and shows how this university鈥檚 search has benefited society in manifold ways.

The Search for Knowledge and Understanding demonstrates an interdisciplinary approach, as Bennett crafts short but insightful biographies of some of the most significant scholars that have worked at Australia鈥檚 oldest university over the past half century, in medicine, the life sciences, the physical sciences and the humanities and social sciences.

Bennett provides a striking account of how this particular scholarly community has flourished by nurturing scholars and allowing them with the intellectual freedom to pursue their passions. The book clarifies the notion of understanding as it holds in different disciplines and depicts the benefit the world of scholarship can have on the wider community.

During the 1950s, with the electron microscope fast becoming the characterisation tool par excellence for many scientific and engineering disciplines, the University of Sydney recognised that its academic community needed access to electron microscopy to do quality research. In 1958, in a bold move, the University established a centralised facility 鈥� the Electron Microscope Unit 鈥� comprising two support staff and the premier microscope of the day, the Siemens Elmiskop I. The Electron Microscope Unit was unique for its time and has since become a model for many advanced microscopy centres at other universities. During the past 50 years, the unit has supported a steadily growing amount and diversity of research, and has developed into an integral part of the University. Today, the Electron Microscope Unit has nearly 30 different microscopes and more than 45 staff members.

This captivating book presents 50 great moments from the past five decades of the Electron Microscope Unit's activities. Blending history and science in an engaging style, 50 Great Moments tells the story of the unit's creation and profiles the key figures that have forged the facility into the success that it is today. The book looks at the instruments, events and achievements that have defined the unit's character and contributed so much to Australian microscopy and microanalysis. Finally, this volume explores some of the important research done by the scientists and engineers who have used the unit's advanced microscopes.

This book makes a fascinating read for those with an interest in the historical development of Australian microscopy and microanalysis, and it will be an important reference for scholars studying the history of our nation's science.

Taking Our Place tells the story of Aboriginal education and the Koori Centre at the University of Sydney. Within its short history, the university has embodied both the virtues and vices of Australia's public attitudes to Indigenous people. The university's early teaching and research focused on Aboriginal people as ethnographical specimens, a race frozen in time.

More than a century would pass before two students identified as Aborigines, Charles Perkins and Peter Williams, entered the university gates. It was 1963. From that time on, an increasing numbers of Indigenous Australians have studied and worked at the university, contributing their knowledge and understanding to a learning society from which they were once absent. Much more remains to be done.

This is the first account of struggles and outcomes arising from the engagement of Indigenous people with a tertiary institution in Australia, a place established by a white elite for its own purposes on land taken from the Eora people. Today, the University of Sydney promotes and celebrates the diversity of Indigenous education on campus.

Political Economy Now! is the story of one of the most substantial and enduring conflicts in the history of Australian universities. Beginning in the late 1960s, it pitted those committed to the teaching of mainstream economics at the University of Sydney against the proponents of an alternative program in political economy. The dispute continued for decades until a Department of Political Economy was established in the Faculty of Arts in 2008.

Why all the fuss over the teaching of economics? Why were the disagreements so deep and protracted? What has been at stake? Why did dissident staff and students commit so much time and energy to establishing and developing alternative courses and administrative arrangements?

The dispute involved substantial differences of opinion about the nature of the curriculum, the style of teaching, and the structures of power and decision making. Although locally focused at the University of Sydney and at its most intense during the 1970s and 1980s, the dispute also has wider implications for how we understand the economic system and the role of economic policy. It reflects a broader tension in Australian society about what economic arrangements best serve social needs.

The story of the struggle for alternative economics told from the political economists' perspective weaves together a general historical narrative with illustrations and interpretations of the causes and consequences of the conflict, and personal recollections of eleven former student activists, all now in significant professional positions.

Political Economy Now! is a fascinating read for those concerned about how a discipline of great social and political significance is understood and taught to its would-be practitioners.

Anzac Echoes was commissioned to mark the 100th anniversary of the 1915 landing at Gallipoli, Turkey, by Australian troops. It rings out with a truly Australian flavour as it references patriotic Australian themes.

Because of the catastrophic losses sustained at Gallipoli by both the Australian and the New Zealand forces, an official remembrance day 鈥� Anzac Day 鈥� came into being in both countries the following year on 25th April. The acronym ANZAC stands for Australian and New Zealand Army Corps. Anzac Day has remained an important national holiday in both countries, commemorating not only the fallen from past conflicts but also those currently serving their country.

The University of Sydney War Memorial Carillon, located in the clock tower of the Quadrangle, was dedicated on Anzac Day, 25 April 1928. It commemorates the 197 University of Sydney undergraduates, graduates and staff who died in World War I, many of whose names are inscribed on the bells. The lowest note, G (four and a quarter tonnes), is dedicated to the Australian Imperial Forces (AIF). Built by Taylor鈥檚 Bell Foundry of Loughborough, England, the instrument has 54 bells with a range of four and a half octaves. Today the carillon is still central to the life of the University, heard daily as a living memorial to the fallen.

Anzac Echoes was premiered by Sydney University Organist and Carillonist Amy Johansen at the University鈥檚 Anzac Day Dawn Service in 2015.

At the time of European colonisation of Australia, veterinary medicine was a young profession, and there was little money or time for it. Even by 1910, when the University of Sydney enrolled its first veterinary science undergraduates, there were only about 75 qualified veterinary surgeons in the country. Veterinary Research at the University of Sydney: The First Century charts the remarkable expansion that occurred over the subsequent hundred years.

In the beginning, veterinary science in Australia focused on problems of agriculture, and University researchers played their part in keeping livestock healthy and productive. Over the course of the 20th century this focus expanded, with veterinary scientists producing original research on companion animals and wildlife species, while continuing to investigate farm animal topics. This research improved the lives of animals, and of humans: veterinary science has contributed to our understanding of a range of human medical issues including genetic disorders, skin cancer, infertility, infections, infestations and immunity.

Told by the scholars themselves, Veterinary Research at the University of Sydney offers an engaging first-hand account of collaboration, innovation, creativity and persistence.
