Craig Cormick: Ned Kelly : Under the Microscope
Description
Do we really need another Ned Kelly book? After all, his story is a part of Australian folklore and his legend has been captured in movies, books and paintings. The answer is yes, as this book is unique. It is a rigorous look at the forensic science behind investigations into Ned Kelly.In 2009 the remains of Ned Kelly were dug up at Pentridge Prison and identified after an exhaustive forensic analysis by the Victorian Institute of Forensic Medicine. Analysing a skeleton more than 130 years old involved processes such as DNA extraction, 3D facial reconstruction, and identifying the skeleton by its injuries. However in 2011 the Victorian government announced that while it had identified the remains of Ned Kelly, the skull long thought to be his, was not, and so another twist in the scientific tale began.Along with an exploration of the forensic analysis, this book unpicks some of the Kelly myths: Was Ned Kelly illiterate? Did Ned Kelly have a daughter? It sheds light on more recent urban myths does such as having a Ned Kelly tattoo puts you at risk of dying violently?The identification of the remains of Ned Kelly is a remarkable story and definitely one worth telling. WINNER of the winning the Collaborative Community Award in the Victorian Community History Awards 2015

In this wise and intimate telling which carries us through the seasons when her marriage was ending Sharon Olds opens her heart to the reader, sharing the feeling of invisibility that comes when we are no longer standing in love s sight; the surprising physical bond that still exists between a couple during parting; the loss of everything from her husband s smile to the set of his hip. Olds is naked before us, curious and brave and even generous toward the man who was her mate for thirty Ned Kelly : Under the Microscope pdf years and who now loves another woman. As she writes in the remarkable Stag s Leap, When anyone escapes, my heart / leaps up. Even when it s I who am escaped from, / I am half on the side of the leaver. Olds s propulsive poetic line and the magic of her imagery are as lively as ever, and there is a new range to the music sometimes headlong, sometimes contemplative and deep. Her unsparing approach to both pain and love makes this one of the finest, most powerful books of poetry Olds has yet given us."
