This book brings together major authorities on and practitioners within Australian publishing and examines the broad-based pressures facing the industry in this country, arising most particularly from developments in digital technology, the shrinking world, and the apparent arrival of a global marketplace. Practical, social and philosophical issues arising now in response to these pressures are considered, from a range of perspectives. Contributors include Mark Davis, Ivor Indyk, Emmett Stinson, Louise Poland, Tim Coronel, Peter Donoghue Kevin Brophy.
