NEW RELEASE!
'A Race to Remember' - The Peter Norman Story
by Damian Johnstone & Matt Norman
**The tie-in book to the new film 'SALUTE'.
|
|
On 16th October 1968, at the Mexico Olympic Games, the image of two black American athletes, heads bowed, black gloved fists raised into the night sky in the so called 'Black Power' salute, rocked the Olympic Movement to its very core and also sent shockwaves throughout the world; a world already reeling from the recent assassinations of Dr. Martin Luther King and Senator Robert Kennedy, China's Cultural Revolution, the brutal murder of hundreds of Mexican students, and anti-Vietnam War demonstrations.
In the intervening 40 years, the salute has become an iconic image, not only of the Olympics, but of the 20th Century. While most focus their attention on the Americans, there was a third individual on the 200 metres victory dais that night. 'A Race to Remember' - the Peter Norman Story is the biography of the white Australian who stood tall, proudly wearing, alongside his silver medal, a civil rights badge in support of the silent protest made against racial discrimination. For the first time ever, the full story of the protest is told with input from all three Olympic medallists. more... |

From Buddha to Bono: Seeking Sustainability
Author:Emeritus Professor Tor Hundloe - aka 'The Green Viking'
ISBN: 9780980369854
$34.95
This is a very special book. Until now no one has put together the full environmental and ethical story facing Planet Earth, as Tor Hudloe has done. In this book he has put squarely on the agenda the key matters which almost all - including Al Gore - are still dodging for fear of the heavy hand of the church and of conservative economists. And that is to recognise nothing less than the need to reduce our global population; the need to recognise that our market economy does not have to grow forever to retain its vitality; and above all the need to get serious about linking the global economy to the global environment
