About The Author
Stuart Macintyre
Stuart Macintyre was recruited to Murdoch University by Geoffrey Bolton in 1976 and worked with him on the Oxford History of Australia. His most recent publication is Australias Boldest Experiment: War and Reconstruction in the 1940s and he has currently exchanged chocolates for boiled lollies with a study of what has happened to Australias universities. Jenny Gregory co-authored Claremont: a History with Geoff and remains grateful for his generosity towards a junior colleague who had criticised his view of Western Australias interwar years. Her research focuses on urban history and heritage, but her most recent book is Seeking Wisdom: A Centenary History of the University of Western Australia. Lenore Layman enjoyed being a colleague of Geoff Bolton at Murdoch University. She has most recently published Blood Nose Politics: A Centenary History of the WA National Party, worked on the Australian Asbestos Network website on the health disaster of asbestos use in Australia, and is currently busy on a variety of community history projects.
