The strength, vulnerability, grace, and beauty that dancers achieve, seemingly without effort, is vividly illustrated in this photographic record of the Australian Ballet. The 160 black-and-white photographs show the company liberated from the formal restraint of the performance, celebrating the essence of the human body in moments of flight and repose. Captured in these images are energy, drama, the balance between physical capability and artistic expressionand, most of all, the beauty of the human form. The photographs demonstrate the intricacies of the human body and the limits to which it can be pushed.

<p>A model for understanding the way the human spine gradually passes through five progressive stages of decline is outlined in this groundbreaking new book. It describes how each stage manifests itself, starting off with commonplace reversible conditions and progressing to the more difficult ones. At each stage, this book sets out a logical course of treatment programs and exercises, which are clearly explained so that sufferers can know when they need to stretch, take medication, or rest in bed. Now back sufferers will understand what has gone wrong with their spines and take steps to make their backs healthy and pain-free.</p>

The story of a young Australian anaesthetist's service in the Vietnam War - a year filled with experiences. Marshall Barr prefaces his Vietnam memories with his account of growing up in Brisbane during the Pacific war, his pre-war training and last minute flings, the shock of his first experience of a foreign land and a war zone. In recalling his tour of duty, he is uncompromisingly honest about the use of alcohol as a refuge, the search for female companionship and the friendships which preserved his sanity. During his tour, Major Barr spent time with the Australian Task Force at Nui Dat, with Civilian Teams at Long Xuyen and Bien Hoa, and with American units in Saigon and Tay Ninh. He was based at 8 Field Ambulance, later 1 Australian Field Hospital, and the work there is graphically described - the techniques of resuscitation, surgery and evacuation of the Australian wounded, the back-up service by US hospitals, the arrival of the first Australian nurses, the dedicated work of the young medics and the chaos caused by the Tet offensive. Based on the author's personal diary, the events retain an immediacy which is complemented by reflections matured over the three decades since that eventful year. Life-saving dramas, death, danger, mateship, love and humour all leap from the pages.
