Sinopse

"Traditions That Guide" explores the enduring relevance of traditional maxims in our modern world by examining their historical and philosophical roots. Serving as a moral guidebook, the book argues that principles such as "Honesty is the best policy" and "Treat others as you would like to be treated," verified through historical records, offer a stable foundation for ethical decision-making. It delves into ancient philosophies like Stoicism and Confucianism, highlighting how these maxims shaped societies and influenced individual behavior across diverse eras.

 
The book uniquely bridges tradition and modernity by analyzing the practical impact of these maxims throughout history, avoiding sentimental appeals and providing a fact-based analysis of their real-world consequences. Each maxim is explored through a historical lens, examining instances where adherence or violation led to specific outcomes. Chapters progress logically, first introducing the concept of traditional maxims and then demonstrating their application to contemporary challenges in areas such as business ethics and personal relationships.

Australia on the Brink

Ian Lowe

In 1996, the first independent national report on the state of Australia’s environment found that we faced serious problems. With increasing urgency, five subsequent reports declared those problems were all getting worse, each calling for immediate action to protect our future. The 2021 report determined that, ‘Overall, the state and trend of the environment of Australia are poor and deteriorating as a result of increasing pressures from climate change, habitat loss, invasive species, pollution and resource extraction,’ and warned of the dramatic impact on our health and living standards. It is now clearer than ever that the consequences of long-term inaction are upon us.Accelerating climate change and the loss of our unique biodiversity are the most obvious signs of the grim outlook for future generations of Australians. But the international trends are equally worrying, with quixotic economic systems casting doubt on the wisdom of running down our domestic production of essential goods and services in favour of a dependence on trade. It is no exaggeration to conclude that Australian society itself is at risk.In Australia on the Brink, Ian Lowe argues that the essential first steps in addressing these threats are stabilising the global climate and protecting our local biota. We must also change the emphasis of resource extraction from a damaging reliance on trade to improving our capacity to meet our own needs. This is our best – perhaps our only – chance of restoring a sense of social stability, and the equality of opportunity that was once a hallmark of this country.

The Book Of Earths

Edna Kenton

This is a compendium of theories of the shape of the Earth, along with a great deal of 'Earth Mystery' lore. Richly illustrated, the Book of Earths includes many unusual theories, including Columbus' idea that the Earth is literally pear-shaped, modern theories that the Earth was originally tetrahedral, and so on. Kenton also covers many traditional theories including the ancient Babylonians and Egyptians, Hindu and Buddhist cosmology, and those of the Peruvians, Aztecs and Mongols. She also discusses modern alternative theories such as that of Reed and Koresh. Strangely enough, she misses or ignores the modern flat earth theory of Rowbotham. This is the only apparent omission in this definitive study. Kenton has no apparent axe to grind: this is simply a very readable survey of the literature if you have any interest in 'Earth mysteries"
