'Age of Doubt: Building Trust in a World of Misinformation' will be released next March. Edited by Tracey Kirkland and Gavin Fang, this insightful collection of essays brings together top thinkers from across the globe in media, science, government, academia and business to examine how and why trust is disappearing, and how we might navigate these confusing times.

📚🎉 Today for Policy Pages, our celebration of books published by Crawford School academics in 2024, we're profiling 𝙍𝙚𝙩𝙚𝙡𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝘼𝙪𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙡𝙞𝙖'𝙨 𝙒𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙧 𝙎𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙮 by Professor Quentin Grafton. “Australians have long been sold the idea that our water management is best practice, and that (almost) everyone gets a fair go at the water pump. The reality is different. Australia's real water story includes great dispossession, with a ‘hydrocracy’ acquiring the right to use, at virtually no cost, large volumes of publicly owned water. It also includes great diversions that have disconnected our water systems and contributed to a great degradation of our land and water.” “Water reallocation for justice and sustainability mean prioritising 'water for all', not just water as an economic resource - it also has cultural, spiritual and environmental value- nor just water for humans: it is needed by all fauna and flora. It means learning from past mistakes, building on what we know works well, and listening to voices that are too often ignored.” 🔗 Find out more about the book from Monash University Publishing: https://lnkd.in/gaSnFNNK 🔗 Read more about Professor Grafton: https://lnkd.in/gpphvJeE #PublicPolicy #AcademicPublishing #AcademicResearch #ResearchPublishing #ResearchImpact #SustainableDevelopment #WaterManagement #WaterPolicy #NaturalResourceManagement #Australia The Australian National University ANU College of Asia & the Pacific ANU Institute for Water Futures

'No One Knows Their Destiny' was recently Pick of the Week in the Nine Media with reviewer Steven Carroll describing the book as a "vivid documentation of tumultuous times that can feel eerily familiar". The book is a moving portrait of two Dunera Boys, from Kristallnacht in Vienna to VE Day in Melbourne, that complicates the traditional story of the Dunera. Art historian Tonia Eckfeld draws on a deeply personal history to tell the story of her father and her uncle, Jewish refugees whose lives were shaped indelibly by their wartime experiences and internment – each to very different outcomes.
