      This magnificent catalogue, published to accompany the National Gallery of Australia's landmark exhibition marking the 100th anniversary of statehood, offers an opportunity to enjoy, through the visual arts, some of the fascinating stories of the nation, a visual history of its progress as a people, society, and nation. While celebrating Australia's indigenous heritage, it also recognizes the contribution of people from all over the world who have settled there. The important and intriguing works seen here, along with the informative text, celebrate the depth and diversity of Australia, including its indigenous communities, multiculturalism, sporting heroes, youth, cities, and the bush. They offer many visual openings to the rich cultural landscape that exists in Australia and demonstrate significant movements within the development of the visual arts during the century. Following an insightful and provocative introductory essay, "From Gallipoli to Homebush Bay," by John McDonald, curator of the exhibition, the book is organized by chapters, each with its own The Land; Cities and Suburbs; Boom and Bust; Patriotic Duty; At Ease; Encounters; and Designing the Australian Experience.

      Zadok Ben-David's inspiration derives from nature, science, magic and illusion. From Evolution and Theory (1995), where he explores scientific discoveries, to the psychological installation Blackfield (2007), with thousands of flowers, and the magical The Other Side of Midnight (2013), which incorporates hundreds of insects, one of the characteristics of Ben-David's work is the use of multiplicity as an organizing principle. He creates an alternate amplified viewing space where the relationship between viewer (human) and artwork (nature) is both sacred and destabilizing. The new ongoing installation People I Saw but Never Met, features thousands of miniatures of people that he has photographed and drawn during his travels, suggesting ways in which we are both isolated yet always close together. Together with outdoor works, completed over a twenty-year period, this new book brings these four installations together for the first time, in all their magical detail.

      Tato útlá kniha vysvětluje podstatné principy toho, jak zacházet se svou myslí, pokud chceme být šťastní, úspěšní či bohatí nebo pokud toužíme po čemkoliv konkrétním. Máme totiž právo naplnit jakékoliv své touhy. Musíme pouze spolupracovat s vesmírnými silami a znát zákonitosti myšlenkové energie. S učením, jenž má moc měnit životy, se čtenář seznámí formou jednoduchého příběhu: vypravěč se setká s tajemným úspěšným a bohatým mužem, který ho zasvětí do vyšší moudrosti. Přestože knížka vyšla poprvé v r. 1929, její nevšedně hutné a mocné poselství je aktuální i dnes.
