Beschreibung

Cave Dwellings Architecture explores the fascinating world of underground settlements, revealing how diverse cultures ingeniously carved homes from rock. This book examines the architectural techniques, cultural adaptations, and historical significance of these subterranean communities. Discover how societies adapted their lifestyles and belief systems to the unique challenges of underground living. For example, the deliberate engineering of these structures often provided natural thermal insulation, offering protection from harsh climates.

 
The book presents a historical overview, spanning from prehistoric times to the present, to understand the social, economic, and political conditions that led to these settlements. It argues that cave dwellings are sophisticated architectural solutions reflecting an understanding of local environments. Uncover the ingenious ways these dwellings were constructed, from modifying existing caves to carving multi-level structures. The design of cave dwellings also provided defense against external threats.

 
The book progresses through case studies such as the cave cities of Cappadocia and the cliff dwellings of Mesa Verde, analyzing architectural features and cultural practices. By offering a global perspective and highlighting sustainable features, Cave Dwellings Architecture provides valuable insights for contemporary architecture, environmental design, and anyone interested in human dwellings and architectural history.

    In 2016, the United States was stunned by evidence of Russian meddling in the US presidential elections. But it shouldn't have been. Subversion—domestic interference to undermine or manipulate a rival—is as old as statecraft itself. The basic idea would have been familiar to Sun Tzu, Thucydides, Elizabeth I, or Bismarck. 
     
     
     
    It came as a surprise in 2016 because the sole superpower had fallen asleep at the wheel. But what's really new? Have we entered a new age of vulnerability? To answer these questions, and to protect ourselves against future subversion, we need a clear-eyed understanding of what it is and how it works. 
     
     
     
    In A Measure Short of War, Jill Kastner and William C. Wohlforth provide just that, taking the listener on a compelling ride through the history of subversion, exploring two thousand years of mischief and manipulation to illustrate subversion's allure, its operational possibilities, and the means for fighting back against it. With vivid examples from the ancient world, the great-power rivalries of the nineteenth century, epic Cold War struggles, and more, A Measure Short of War shows how prior technological revolutions opened up new avenues for subversion, and how some democracies have been fatally weakened by foreign subverters while others have artfully defended themselves—and their democratic principles.

    How the Aussie economy got hooked on the world's dirtiest cash. 
      
    Longlisted for a 2022 Walkley Award and earning the author the 2022 Financial Crime Fighter Award. 
    In today's ruthless world of organised crime, the best criminals aren't foolish enough to steal money out of banks. They wear tailored suits, carry briefcases, and discreetly slip money into banks.  
    Bigwigs, oligarchs and crime syndicates running drugs, trafficking guns and people, arming terrorists and subverting government controls are desperate to put a legitimate face on their wealth. Washing dirty money, moving it around the globe, making it look legitimate is where the action is for both criminals and the authorities chasing them. 
    Australia is awash with dirty money. It flows through our economy, keeps banks running, powers big business, puts coffee on restaurant tables, seeps into clubs, pubs, sport, the art world and anywhere that value is moved. It infiltrates real estate, costs billions in policing, and takes a terrible toll on Australian lives. What law enforcement agencies might lack in legislation and political will they make up for with sheer resourcefulness. When they can't get at the masterminds and bigwigs, they have honed tactics that intercept the flow of illicit cash and aim to drive a wedge between crooks and their ill-gotten wealth. 
    In The Lucky Laundry, financial crime expert Nathan Lynch delves deep inside this hidden world to explain how dark money has infected the lives of ordinary people - and tainted Australian democracy. He opens the curtain on the hidden world of financial intelligence, where crooks and spooks play a cat-and-mouse game inside the world's black money markets. 
    Enter the realm of the agents and undercover operatives who defend our democracy against the corrosive force of billions of dirty dollars.
