A vital account of change in Australian museums. Martin Hallett — a notable curator of science and technology at Museums Victoria — had a long and distinguished career. He pioneered electronic cataloguing documentation systems (now used world-wide, including at the British Museum and the Smithsonian), established portals to access distributed collections and championed the presence of diverse voices through a unique storytelling approach. In tribute to an extraordinary career, a number of Martin’s colleagues — many with their own outstanding achievements in the sector — reflect on his significant contributions to the museum and heritage sector, charting critical changes to museological practises over three decades.

Dreams Turned into Reality

What Can You Do to Help Our World?

Memoir by Margaret Anderson of growing up in Scotland during WWII.

From a Place Far Away

Tales from the Table is a practitioner's account of the successes and limitations of using Lovaas/ABA home education with five young boys on the autistic spectrum. The abilities and skills of these children before, during and after intervention are documented with a focus on the realities of undertaking Lovaas/ABA home education: the impact of a 35-hour learning week on both child and parents, changing tutors and issues of commitment to the approach. Each chapter includes a commentary on the programme from a different perspective, with the voices of parents, siblings and teachers providing the context to the individual children's learning processes. This book will help parents to make an informed decision about using Lovaas/ABA interventions and will give professionals and students practical insights and useful information on the approach.
