Goitre Monitor is the first book in a trilogy on iodine and public health in Tasmania, followed by Iodophor (2020) and Seaweed (2022), both also in our stock. Goitre Monitor traces the early history of goitre and iodine deficiency in Tasmania — from first European reports and Launceston General Hospital case records, through the earliest thyroid surgery in Tasmania, 20th century household nutrition surveys, the introduction of iodised salt prophylaxis, to the notorious 1960s Tasmanian thyrotoxicosis epidemic.

Dr Eric Guiler's documentary record of the jetties of southern Tasmania — the small wooden structures that once served as the primary landing points for coastal communities around the Derwent estuary, D'Entrecasteaux Channel, Huon River and the islands of southern Tasmania. Before roads reached the more isolated parts of southern Tasmania, jetties were the lifeline connecting farms, orchards, timber mills and fishing communities to Hobart and the wider world.
