Mrs. Fraser on the Fatal Shore
by Michael Alexander
A true story with more drama and excitement than fiction. In 1836, the barque Stirling Castle shipwrecked on Australia's Great Barrier Reef, leaving the crew, Captain Fraser, and his wife at the mercy of cannibalistic aborigines. The captain was soon murdered; Mrs. Fraser remained alive, forced to endure humiliation as a slave of the tribe--and more tragically, to witness her new baby drowned. A remarkable rescue finally saved her--and her subsequent misadventures in England provide an intriguing finale to this sensational tale.

Dingo Makes Us Human
by Deborah Bird Rose

Aboriginal Health and History
by Ernest Hunter
The Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody (1987-1991) focused attention on the behavioral dimension of Aboriginal health and the lack of appropriate services. This book is a systematic analysis of the sociohistorical and intercultural aspects of mental health in one area of remote Australia, the Kimberley. The author shows how the effects of social disruption, cultural dislocation and loss of power suffered by Aboriginal people have manifested themselves in certain behavioral patterns. He analyzes rising mortality rates from suicide, accidents and homicide among Kimberley Aboriginal communities and studies the economic impact of alcohol on these communities.
