Description:
London: Macdonald, 1962. 224 pp, b/w illustrations, signed by the author on free endpaper, foxing on edges, d/j slightly bumped on spine and corners. This is the first-hand story of a foreign correspondent's life at the heart of Asian Communism. The author describes his extensive journeys through the industrial cities of Manchuria and the communes with their myriad ant-like workers. He tells of his contacts - and conflicts - with Chinese officialdom, and vividly conveys the almost pathological mistrust which the Chinese feel towards foreigners; even those foreigners who are themselves Communists..

Clune has been off again on another of his modern voyages of exploration - this time to Holland. Since the Dutch played a great part in discovering Australia 350 years ago, he argues, it was perhaps appropriate for an Australian now to 'discover' Holland. This is the log book of his travels..

Description:
Sydney: Australian Geographic, 1996. 256 pp, colour illustrations, flatsigned by Don and Margie McIntyre on the title page. This graphic account of the couple's year at Cape Denison, based on their detailed diaries and logs, is a study in grit and determination in the face of conditions that few humans ever encountered. Margie and Don are two sides of a coin: they have their differences but they make a formidable unit. Their year in Antarctica was a triumph of organisation, but without the will and strength to see it through, it would have failed, perhaps disastrously.. Signed by Authors. First Edition. Hard Cover.
