For the third year in a row, I read one book per week. Hopelessly, only one was fiction (Joseph Heller, Picture This); the rest history, animal studies, memoir, archaeology, pedagogy, and the like. Some highlights include:
Fernand Braudel, Identity of France vol. I. The attention to detail is breathtaking. Linking regions’ roofing materials with local economies and geographies (pp. 53 & 171) to paint a longue durée history, to give one example. Siân Reynolds’ translation is fantastic.

Feeling very full following a week in Canberra "thinking planetarily", writing, scouring archives, and catching up with friends and family :)

The AHA welcomes the Australian Government's proposed 20% cut to HECS-HELP student debts. But this modest cost-of-living relief cannot, on its own, make Higher Ed debts more equitable. 'Job-ready Graduates' must give way to a better, fairer fee system
