This is a history of the school established in 1895, as a girls school, and runs through in a richly detailed history at the time that Tony oversaw its transformation into a co-educational School with an emphasis on academics and performing arts. "Students at St Michael's feel empowered to express themselves openly, and to exercise an educated discernment over those values they believe should be maintained and those that should be discarded. Perhaps this is the clearest measure of the worth of any school" -- page 291 Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Please refer to accompanying picture (s). Quantity Available: 1.

Softcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: No Dust Jacket. Photographic (illustrator). First Edition. 800 g; XVIII, 462 pages, indexed. Includes appendices, bibliography, notes; illustrated with black-and-white photographs and with numerous tables etc. In paperback binding with cover painting by Kuba Blacher. Rodney Benjamin tells how a small community organised itself to find accommodation, work, financial assistance and English language training for the four major influxes of Jewish immigrants between the 1920s in the 1950s. Out of the organisations which formed to meet these demands grew a multifaceted ethnic welfare agency. Benjamin traces the development of an organisation, run almost entirely by volunteers to profess to staff welfare agency supported by a small army of volunteers. He follows the change in focus from migrant settlement to a broad-based community service which provides care for the disabled and the elderly, job skills training and comprehensive counselling services. The many power and ideological struggles are examined, as is the position of the organisation in the wider context of Australia Society. -- rear panel blurb The book shows no signs of damage. previous owners name at the top of the first page, no other annotations Full number line.

The text is illustrated with the occasional map or figure. Illustrated paperback binding with ochre and black coloured titles to the front panel and back strip. Black and white photograph of author to the rear fold over panel. In this book, the seminal work of the author, he takes a radical departure from the belief that society and governments must base happiness of people on global competitiveness and the economy. The author, however, states that we, as humans, must recognise that we are also creatures of the earth " . and, as such we are utterly dependent on its gifts of air, water, soil and the energy of the sun. These elements are not just external factors, we take them into our bodies, where they are incorporated into our very essence."  from front fold over panel flap. Not only that but all species on the earth are our evolutionary relatives, and, we are genetically programmed for the company. The author then lays out his vision of how humans can become more balanced with our biosphere. Rubbing of the book edges and panels. What is present, in abundance, is foxing  all areas of the covers, text block edges, fold over panels and pages and a few pages either end; though, the pages themselves are aged toned with yellow edges.
