An exploration of activities that can be used in art, history, and science institutions to engage children with collections and provide them with opportunities to discover meaning and expand their creative thinking.

Excellent book to give us a total different view of law and its role in human development and relationship, I wished it was part of every law school curiculum.

Unfortunately the pictures in this informative book are black and white in opposite to the covers, so that you miss alot when you do not visit the castles themselves. For a visit this booklet is rather helpful, because it contains detailed information of the history of the bigger castles, and it fits in small bags so can easily be carried around (but do not forget your glasses, letters are very small).

I found this book to be quite interesting. I especially like the survey that defines what 'color' you are, in terms of one's potential career interests and styles. I was a BLUE-BLUE. It seemed accurate for myself, but others that have taken the test, have not always agreed.

Anyhow, I didn't give the book a 5, because I don't think a book can really tell you what you should do. Career books are at most, good guides. Mostly, you'll need to do a lot of research and soul searching before you can find a job that is suited to you. But, I can say that this book helped to put more perspective on the job hunt. As a recent entrant to the workforce and still discovering what I "want to be," this book helped me to better understand the things that I should be looking for in my next job/career: organizational culture, level of interaction with others, types of skills, etc.

The color analysis is based on a tool developed by Birkman. You can basically find everything in this book on the Princeton Review's site, www.review.com. If you have access to the Internet, this is probably the better and cheaper route. The information is almost the same, with the exception with exercises on recalling some past memories (this is the same exercise that is touted in "What Color is your Parachute?").

One thing that I did not like about the book was that it was too restrictive. Although the colors are guides, it's easy to get stuck into thinking that because you're a certain color, you should stay away from certain jobs. Also, I had hoped that there would be more job profiles. But, I guess you can just about find more job profiles on other websites like.

Happy hunting!

Gough Whitlam is one of Australia's more controversial Prime Ministers. He was in power from 1972 to 1975 and is seen by his supporters as a person who brought Australia into the 20th Century but by his detractors as a man who destroyed the economy of the country.

He led the Australian Labour party which was out of power from 1949 to when he led it to an election victory in 72. To do this Whitlam had to reform the party. He was behind the intervention in the Victorian Branch to get rid of a small cabal of left wing election losers. He was behind the constitution to remove the suggestion that the party was controlled by faceless men. He also worked out a program which for an Australian Party was revolutionary.

Once in power he withdrew Australian forces from Vietnam, recognised China, disbanded what was left of the White Australia policy and he reformed the divorce law and established Australia's health care system. Unfortunately he then ran into the stagflation which overran the Western World due to American deficiet spending and the OPEC Oil embargo.

Whitlam was forced by a hostile conservative senate to an election in 1974 and then again the refusal to pass supply led to teh constitutional crisis of 1975 which in turn led to Whitlam being sacked and suffering a massive electoral defeat.

This book is an account of Whitlam's career but it is reasably negative. Alan Reid was a press club figure who also wrote on John Gorton and was hostile to both Gorton and Whitlam more for reasons of style than their political substance. Never the less it is a book that those who dislike Whitlam would like, whilst his fans would prefer A Certain Granduer by his speech writer Freudenberg.

John Grey Gorton was an Australian Prime Minister from 1967 to 1971. He became Prime Minister by a fluke. Harold Holt the then Prime Minister drowned in a swimming mishap. The most senior and respectable liberal Billy McMahon got himself into a fight with Black Jack Mckewen the leader of the Country Party the liberals coalition partner. As a result Mckewen refused to servce under McMahon.

This caused a crisis and the liberals had to find a leader. Gorton was the liberals leader in the Senate. He had recently handled a potential scanal about VIP aircraft with aplomb and suddenly it seemed he should be the man to lead the liberals.

In Australia it should be noted that the liberals are the conservative party. Within a short time Gorton began to exhibit eccentric behavour. He liked to get drunk and when drunk he liked attractive women. Within a short time he was doing things like scaling the fence of the American Embassy whisky bottle in hand with a young woman in tow to have a chat with the American Ambassador in the middle of the night. Apart from his personal eccentricities he also turned out to be a person who against the normal run of conservative policy wanted to increase the power of the commonwealth over the states.

His larrakin behavour meant that he soon became an easy victim for the press and despite winning an election in 1969 he voted himself out of office when a leadership ballot was tied in 1971.

This book is by an infuential journalist and basically it sets out to bag Gorton and to suggest that he was not up to the job. With the passing of time people feel a bit more affection for a figure who was one of Australia's great characters and more recent biographies have been kinder.
