Summer is almost over — a memoir by Bruce Mansfield
The internationally acclaimed literary and television critic Clive James once said that Bruce Mansfield's famed lectures on Reformation history to Sydney University first-year students were 'so condensed that to miss one was to write off a month's work'. Summer is almost over is a highly personal account of the ideas that stood behind that course and its successor at Macquarie University, spanning a quarter of a century (1952–76).

Islam between tradition and modernity: an Australian perspective by Mehmet Özalp
Most of the problems visible in the Muslim world stem from the gap created by a commitment to tradition and a wariness of modernity. Islam has the resources to bridge this gap. As a religion it is generally misunderstood not only by non-Muslims but, perhaps surprisingly, by Muslims as well.
This book outlines the defining beliefs of Islam and the devotional practices of Muslims. It explains how and why the Islamic mood and the Muslim mind competes and, at times, conflicts with the promotion of modern popular culture and the propagation of contemporary liberal values.
