Sommario/riassunto

Australian Fiction as Archival Salvage examines key developments in the field of the Australian postcolonial historical novel from 1989 to the present. In parallel with this analysis, A. Frances Johnson undertakes a unique study of in-kind creativity, reflecting on how her own nascent historical fiction has been critically and imaginatively shaped and inspired by seminal experiments in the genre – by writers as diverse as Kate Grenville, Mudrooroo, Kim Scott, Peter Carey, Richard Flanagan, and Rohan Wilson. Mapping the postcolonial novel against the impact of postcolonial cultural theory and Australian writers’ intermittent embrace of literary postmodernism, this survey is also read against the post-millenial ‘history’ and ‘culture wars’ which saw politicizations of national debates around history and fierce contestation over the ways stories of Australian pasts have been written.

Sommario/riassunto

Neural Tube Defects are a group of related but individual pathologies that are the most common congenital anomalies of the Central Nervous System. The importance of this condition has generated a large body of literature that seldom was written for the clinician in a comprehensive and didactic manner. In this book, each chapter is richly illustrated and



dedicated to one disease with subheadings that encompass etiology, molecular biology, clinical anatomy, symptoms, rationale for surgical procedures, natural history and transition into adulthood.
