This book was commenced in 1964 and was intended to be a collaboration between the anthropologist Charles Mountford and the artist and author Ron Edwards.
The plan was that Edwards would explore north Queensland to record rock art sites and send the results to South Australia to Mountford, whose part in the project was to interpret the material sent to him. Unfortunately Mountford died in 1976 and any writing that he may have done for the book seems to have vanished. The project was then abandoned, but in 2007 Edwards discovered that some of the art that he had recorded forty years earlier had faded from sight, and other examples had been destroyed. Realising that the drawings that he had made all those years ago might now be the only evidence of many of the sites it was decided to publish the drawings, and the field notes that went with them, as a historical record.
This publication is designed to outline information on traditional games and details relevant to A Typology of the Traditional Games of Australian Aboriginals and Torres Strait Islander Peoples. The typology has been developed as a result of an extensive review of information on traditional games which has been researched over many years by Kenneth Edwards. This book is also available in printed form, contact us for further information.

Vegetables are a safe cheap form of medication many common ailments. This book is the result of several years work by three well known Chinese experts in traditional medicine. Most of the common vegetables of the west are listed in this book as well as many plants which we do not think of as vegetables such as purslane, regarded as a common weed in our gardens but enjoyed as a vegetable in many parts of the world. This is the companion volume to Fruit as Medicine.
