Second Skin: Choosing and Caring for Textiles and Clothing
India Flint
Almost from the moment of our birth, clothing acts as our second skin, yet we rarely consider where our clothes have come from and the effects they might have on the environment and ourselves. This heartfelt, practical and topical book is about easily achievable ways in which we can care for our planet by living simpler lives and using fewer resources, specifically those to do with cloth and clothing. Beautifully photographed and illustrated by the author, it presents information and inspiration on selecting, acquiring, wearing, caring for, making and repurposing textiles and clothing.

First Fleet Artist: George Raper's Birds and Plants of Australia 
Linda Groom
George Raper was a midshipman on the Sirius of the First Fleet, whose talent and opportunity combined to produce what is now one of the National Library of Australia's most treasured collections, the Ducie Collection of First Fleet Art. This enchanting telling of Raper's brief life presents a new dimension to our understanding of the First Fleet experience and the life of a junior officer in the British Navy. Containing full-colour illustrations of the complete collection, this volume gives substance to the previously shadowy figure of Raper: a young man whose adventurous spirit and extraordinary insight into the natural world bequeathed to Australia through his paintings, an amazing legacy.
