"...it is easy to welcome this collection of papers that had their genesis in a conference devoted exclusively to the purpose of exploring the achievements as well as other aspects of the careers of this remarkable family. As someone who has worked in central and western Queensland for a number of years I have always found it a pleasure to delve into Roth\'s voluminous materials from these regions for some new insight. This volume nicely complements that. For others there will be other aspects to catch their interest, including an opportunity to compare colonial administrations in Australia, the Pacific, and South America."- Luke Godwin, Australian Archaeology
