Fringe to Famous examines exchange between small scenes of cultural production and mainstream institutions and markets. Drawing on Australian examples in music, streetwear, comedy, screen and digital games, it argues that there has been much greater crossover between the two than is generally recognized. The book resists a tendency to represent fringe and mainstream as abstract opposites, bringing a focus instead to concrete historical formations. It offers an alternative both to romantic celebrations of a ''pure'' fringe – discredited now by half a century of critical responses to the counterculture – and to an increasingly hardened anti-romantic reaction. Drawing on extensive original interviews, Fringe to Famous offers an overview of transformations in Australian culture since the 1980s, concluding with suggestions for cultural policy ''after the creative industries''. It proposes an idea of ''generative hybridity'' between fringe and mainstream that allows us to imagine new possibilities for arts and culture in the 2020s and beyond.

There have been many famous partnerships in history. The Wright brothers gave the world flight, Marie and Pierre Curie made incredible advances in medicine, Larry Page and Sergey Brin started the company that became Google, now an integral part of information technology, Gilbert and Sullivan gave us the light opera, Lennon and McCartney were the dynamic duo that changed popular music for ever, and there are many others. But in all the lists that have been conjured up, one partnership is always missing. This is the story of that missing partnership: Charles Rowan and Richard Mayne, brought together by a third man, Robert Peel, to found the Metropolitan Police in 1829. They were appointed entirely on the recommendations of influential people who knew them, or knew of them. But here, Peel had a remarkable ''fluke of good fortune'', because they went on to form one of the most influential partnerships in British history. For it is out of their ''inventive competence'' that the modern police service grew. Their shaping of the Office of Commissioner and their consolidation of the operational independence of the police were their ultimate achievement, for it was an example to all future commissioners and, indeed, chief officers throughout the United Kingdom and beyond. Never was a government better served than the British government was by Charles Rowan and Richard Mayne during the first ten years of the life of the Metropolitan Police. With their combined abilities and an industry, seldom equalled, they formed and led a police force that was equalled by none. Frequently they were met by vexatious opposition, yet, despite the difficulties, they became one of the most iconic partnerships in London''s long and often turbulent history. It is impossible to accurately measure the effect it had, not only on London but the remainder of the United Kingdom, what was then the Empire, now the Commonwealth, and a number of other Western democracies. From the actions they took in those early days stems the policing system that still exists in many countries today. And yet the part played by Rowan and Mayne remains largely unrecognised. Since the formation of the Metropolitan Police in 1829, twenty-seven people have held the role of Commissioner. The great commissioners were leaders who confronted and overcame difficulties, but none made a greater contribution than Rowan and Mayne. This book is the first full-length biography of both men.

World of the Patriarchs is a study book for Volume one of the Grand Narrative series.

Most leaders recognize the impact a culture of engagement and ownership has on their bottom-line performance; yet in most cases the creation of such a culture remains shrouded in mystery. In simple, easy to follow language, "Culture in 4D" pulls the curtain back on the mystery behind the design and development of a strong team culture. Combining research, real-life stories, and solutions born out of experience, the Culture Architect, Tony Moore, provides leaders with the blueprint for embedding values and setting expectations, resulting in clearly defined Rules of Engagement. Much like he does in his presentations, Tony transforms abstract concepts into concrete, tangible, actionable steps. "Culture in 4D" empowers readers to take control of the work experience by engaging employees in a process where they Dream, Design, Develop, and Defend the desired culture. The result of this process brings individual and collective ownership for both culture and business outcomes to the forefront, making the need to "hold the team accountable" a thing of the past.

"For more than three decades -- from the time she was 18 years old -- soul singer extraordinaire Martha High was in the employ, in the ear and in the heart of the Godfather of Soul James Brown. She knew his performance standards, his rules, his wives, his children, the exact way his hair had to be set and often what the heck he was saying when everyone else was clueless. In this funny, honest and touching memoir, she tells of her life and her life in music -- before, during and since her years singing with James Brown. Martha''s story takes readers from her beginnings with The Jewels, helped by Bo Diddley in Washington, DC, all the way through to her current career singing all over the world with former James Brown colleague Maceo Parker, and as a solo performing and recording artist. In her own unique style, Martha tells never before-told stories from behind the scenes, about tragic losses, the funny side of show business and the very special relationship she shared with James Brown. The stories are told with compassion, with humor and above all with truth." --Publisher''s description.

This is an exploration, and a celebration, of Australia''s most creative figures - our bohemians, from Marcus Clarke through to the twenty-first century - and it is a must-read for everyone interested in our counter culture.

A closely observed account by someone working at senior level in the Met at the time. Deals with the biggest breakdown in community relations and law and order in modern English social and policing history. Looks at the entire sequence of events from their first rumblings to their aftermath and legacy. Published to coincide with the 30th anniversary of the tragic death of PC Blakelock October 2015 marks the 30th anniversary of the murder of PC Keith Blakelock during rioting on the Broadwater Farm Estate, Tottenham, against a backdrop of unrest in major UK cities and nadir in relations between police and black communities. After becoming detached from Serial 502 Keith Blakelock was kicked and hacked to death by a mob using clubs, iron bars, knives and a machete or similar weapon. His killers have never been brought to justice. This minutely researched book from former Metropolitan Police commander Tony Moore is based on new materials, private communications and matchless sources. It looks at both sides of the story of a breakdown in law and order at this ‘symbolic location’, its history, background, influences, causes and who was most to blame. Tony Moore’s book examines the stark policing choices and dilemmas as well as the 350 arrests of mainly black people, the wall of silence, fear, trials, appeals and campaign for the release of Winston Silcott, Engin Raghip and Mark Braithwaite (The Tottenham Three) and later jury acquittal of Nicky Jacobs. It looks at the calamitous legacy, questionable strategies and the acquittal of two members of the Met’s CID charged with perverting the course of justice. From petrol bombs, burning barricades and unfathomable violence to the backdrop of immigration, recriminations and lessons of hindsight, this is a powerful book that should be read by anyone concerned with police community relations.

Notting Hill is one of the most sought after locations in London. But its progress from ''ghetto'' to gentrification spans half-a-century within which it was one of the most turbulent places in Britain-plagued by decline, disadvantage, unsolved killings, riots, illegal drugs, underground bars (or ''shebeens''), prostitution, ''no-go areas'' and racial tension. It was also populated by characters such as self-styled community organizer Frank Crichlow, slum landlord Peter Rachman, Christine Keeler, the Angry Brigade, ''hustlers'' such as ''Lucky'' Gordon and Johnny Edgecombe, the activist Michael X (later executed in Trinidad) and the occasional radical lawyer. It was the location of the racist murder of Kelso Cochrane, the litigation-minded Mangrove Restaurant, the brief surge of Black Power in the UK and most notably the iconic Notting Hill Carnival with its heady mix of festivity, excitement, street crimes, potential for disorder and confrontations with the police. So what was it like operating in this ''Symbolic Location''? In this book, Tony Moore, one of those in charge of policing Notting Hill, shows how the area continually adapted to challenges that first began after the Empire Windrush arrived in England carrying immigrants who were initially met by signs saying ''No Coloured'', but for whom Notting Hill became an area of choice. It is a wide-ranging account of the factors in play at a time of unprecedented social change, told from the perspective of an ''insider'', based on prodigious research including in relation to hitherto unpublished materials and personal communications. Reviews ''Tony Moore is well-fitted to write a history of Notting Hill and its relationship with the Metropolitan Police'' Lord Blair of Boughton. ''All Saints Road in Notting Hill is one of those areas of London, where crime is at its worst, where drug-dealing is intolerably overt and where the racial ingredient is at its most potent'' Sir Kenneth Newman, Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police. ''From the late sixties until recently, All Saints Road was to drugs what Hatton Garden is to diamonds'' Robert Hardman, The Spectator. Tony Moore was the Divisional Commander at Notting Hill for two years at the start of the 1980s at what film-maker Roger Graef described as ''the most widely publicised "nick" in Britain'' (Evening Standard ).

In the nineteenth century, the word bohemians initially conjured the primitive, exotic and mysterious power of gypsies, but in a few short years would be used to describe any nomadic or vagabond character - with strong overtones of poverty and even criminality. In Australia, bohemians have been associated with subcultures, and movements across most creative arts and media for more than 150 years. Our cities spawned networks of poets, painters, novelists, journalists, philosophers, actors, filmmakers, comedians and hackers as famous for their controversial, eccentric lifestyles as for the work they produced. Dancing with Empty Pockets is an exploration, and a celebration, of Australia''s most creative figures - our bohemians, from Marcus Clarke through to the twenty-first century - and it is a must-read for everyone interested in our counter culture. ''Dr Moore takes us down our history''s back streets after midnight in search of our bohemian past; his prose as witty, ironic and entertaining as many of the characters he finds lurking there.''-Graeme Blundell ''Drunken debauchery, anarchist bookstores, sirens in skin-tight clothing and rituals with human skulls. And that''s all before the twentieth century. Fascinating.''-Richard Lowenstein

Death or Liberty reveals how the British Government of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries banished to the end of the earth Australia political enemies viewed by authorities with the same alarm as today s terrorists : Jacobins, democrats and republicans; machine breakers, food rioters, trade unionists, and Chartists; Irish, Scots, Canadian and even American rebels. While criminals in the eyes of the law, many of these prisoners were heroes and martyrs to their own communities, and are still revered in their homelands as freedom fighters and patriots, progressive thinkers, democrats and reformers. Yet in Australia, the land of their exile, memory of these rebels and their causes has dimmed. This is the first narrative history that brings together the stories of the political prisoners sent as convicts to Australia from all parts of the British Empire, spanning the early days of the penal settlement at Sydney Cove until transportation ended in 1868. Author Tony Moore asks who were these prisoners, and what led them to take the radical actions they did? Why did the authorities so fear these dissenters and rebels, and was transportation effective in halting dissent? What became of the political convicts in Australia and who escaped or returned home?
