It shows how to publish or upload what you want, while staying on the right side of the law and behaving ethically.

In the creation of any new society, there are winners and losers. So it was with Australia as it grew from a colonial outpost to an affluent society. Richard Broome tells the history of Australia from the standpoint of the original Australians: those who lost most in the early colonial struggle for power. Surveying over two centuries of Aboriginal-European encounters, he shows how white settlers steadily supplanted the original inhabitants, from the shining coasts to inland deserts, by sheer force of numbers, disease, technology, and violence. He also tells the story of Aboriginal survival through resistance and accommodation, and traces the continuing Aboriginal struggle to move from the margins of a settler society to a more central place in modern Australia. Broome's Aboriginal Australians has long been regarded as the most authoritative account of black-white relations in Australia. This fifth edition continues the story, covering the impact of the Northern Territory Intervention, the mining boom in remote Australia, the Uluru Statement, the resurgence of interest in traditional Aboriginal knowledge and culture, and the new generation of Aboriginal leaders.

Principles of Occupational Health and Hygiene: An introduction

Occupational hygiene plays a vital role in ensuring our workplaces are healthy and safe. Potential hazards such as chemicals, dusts, gases, fumes, fibers, noise, vibration, and biological hazards such as mold, fungi, bacteria, and viruses must ideally be eliminated or effectively controlled. Now in its third edition Principles of Occupational Health and Hygiene offers a systematic and comprehensive overview of occupational health hazards and hazardous environments encountered in a range of industries and organizational settings. Leading industry professionals and educators explain how to identify key workplace hazards including chemical agents such as dusts, metals, and gases; physical agents such as noise, radiation, and extremes of heat and cold; and microbiological agents. They outline assessment procedures and processes for identifying exposure levels. They also explain how to evaluate risk and follow safety guidelines to control and manage these hazards effectively. Chapters are heavily illustrated with detailed case studies, diagrams, flowcharts, and photos. Practical guidelines are provided for managing each hazard type. The third edition has been extensively revised and updated and reflects the Workplace Health and Safety legislation relating to the hazards discussed. Principles of Occupational Health and Hygiene is an ideal resource for students of Occupational Health and Safety, and a professional reference for Occupational Hygienists, Occupational Health and Safety professionals, and anyone working in an Occupational Health and Safety role.
