Melbourne: Australian Scholarly Publishing. 2019. MINT - a NEW copy. Colour and black & white illustrations. The discolouration at the spine edge in the picture is actually part of the cover not a flaw. 268 pages. The southern hemisphere is mainly land. So said medieval Europeans, raised on a heady brew of folklore, biblical revelation and geographical theory. It is how they imagined it. This belief led to the history of southern maritime exploration being one of frustration, deception, and self-deception. This book tells the story of the inventors who sent the dream abroad and the discoverers who brought reality home. Robust, professional packaging and tracking provided for all parcels. .

Robust, professional packaging and tracking provided for all parcels. 317 pages. Teddy Sheean was part of the evacuation of his warship, the corvette Armidale sinking fast while around it swarmed Japanese aircraft, shooting with abandon.

He began firing... a courageous Tasmanian determined to do his best to save his mates and his ship. He should have received a VC.
