The coldest crucible : Arctic exploration and American culture / Michael F. Robinson.

Modern classics of fantasy / edited by Gardner Dozois.

War : essays in political philosophy / edited by Larry May ; with the assistance of Emily Crookston.

`During the war period the Trustees sought to acquire original letters and diaries of Australian soldiers. A considerable sum was expended in the purchase of such records, and many were received as gifts. The collection includes a presentation copy of Sir Ian Hamilton's "Gallipoli diary" with a tribute to the Australian troops under his command, and a part of his original typescript despatch with his own corrections in pencil; also the original telegraphic despatches from Gallipoli of Ellis Ashmead-Bartlett, and typescripts of his Gallipoli diaries. There are letters from Viscount Allenby, Sir William Birdwood and Sir Henry Rawlinson, and a large number of valuable diaries of members of the Australian Imperial Forces.'
