This study explores how Australia appears to people from 10 Asian societies with the most significant interactions with Australia. The surveys concentrate on people whose views are on the public record in various media, who significantly reflect opinion in their society, and who can therefore be taken to be both influential and to some extent representative. The results of this comprehensive survey, which suggest Australia has an image problem in the region, are detailed.

Named after a notorious Norman Lindsay impression of Asia, this work traces the history of Australians' perceptions of their Asian and Pacific hemisphere from pre-colonial time to 1991. The book adopts a roughly chronological approach, from Aboriginal contacts with Indonesia, through the
colonial period when responses to both Asia and the Pacific depended on whether artists considered themselves attached to the European past or to the regional present, to a period when increasing numbers of Asians migrate to Australia and Asia's financial dominance becomes unavoidable.

A concise critique of the justifications used to support Australia's participation in the 2003 war against Iraq is set forth in this work. It inspects Prime Minister John Howard's motivation for entering a war that is contrary to Australia's interests and explores the apparent consequences of this decision on its citizens. Among the topics addressed is how Australia's involvement eliminated a profitable trading partner and ratcheted up the hostilities against Australia among Iraq's Muslim neighbors and in countries that would otherwise have paid little attention.

Previous discussions of cultural heritage and digital technology have left the subject largely unmapped in terms of critical theory; the essays in this volume offer this long-missing perspective on the challenges of using digital media in the research, preservation, management, interpretation, and representation of cultural heritage.
