Sinopsis

The book "Nazca Lines" explores the awe-inspiring Nazca geoglyphs of ancient Peru, massive figures etched into the desert that offer a glimpse into a sophisticated pre-Columbian society. These geoglyphs, created around 500 BCE, showcase the remarkable architectural and engineering skills of the Nazca civilization. The book examines how these lines may have served as astronomical calendars, aligning with celestial events crucial for agricultural planning, demonstrating a deep understanding of the cosmos.

 
Presented through archaeological evidence, astronomical alignments, and anthropological studies, the book unfolds by first introducing the Nazca civilization and the discovery of the lines. It then systematically examines the creation and function theories. The book carefully considers the environmental context, revealing how the harsh desert landscape shaped the Nazca's beliefs and practices. Understanding the geoglyphs provides insight into the societal organization required to create them. The book synthesizes diverse perspectives, including art history and landscape architecture, to provide a holistic understanding of these enigmatic figures.

Sonia Orchard

A memoir about exploitation, the search for justice and how we fail to keep our children safe.

'The first thing I need to know,' I said to the detective, 'is has a crime been committed?'

Sonia Orchard was in her forties when she told a therapist about the boyfriend she had when she was fifteen. Sure, he had been a decade older than her, but it was consensual ... wasn't it? To her surprise, Sonia broke down in tears, then began to shake uncontrollably – an unmistakable expression of trauma that lasted for days. She was clearly not okay, but could the relationship she'd thought was love really have been abuse? Had she been groomed?

Years later, her own daughters now teenagers and the March4Justice changing the conversation about sexual assault, Sonia tentatively called the police. As she began the gruelling journey through the legal system, she saw how allegations of child abuse and sexual assault were routinely minimised, justified and rarely brought to light. Facing her own court case, she couldn't shake bigger questions: how had we allowed this to happen, and what would it take to fix it?

In Groomed, Orchard shifts between memoir and research in an attempt to answer these questions. She delves into culture, neuroscience and evolution, unpicking the enduring narratives that fuel these issues. As she navigates her way through a legal system stacked against victims of sexual assault, the obstacles to justice become clearer and more confronting than ever.

Shocking, compelling and completely absorbing, this is an essential read from a fearless Australian writer.

Dogwhistles and Figleaves - How...

Jennifer Mather Saul

It is widely accepted that political discourse in recent years has become more openly racist and more accepting of wildly implausible conspiracy theories. Dogwhistles and Figleaves explores ways in which such changes—both of which defied previously settled norms of political speech—have been brought about. Jennifer Saul shows that two linguistic devices, dogwhistles and figleaves, have played a crucial role. Some dogwhistles (such as "88", used by Nazis online to mean "Heil Hitler") serve to disguise messages that would otherwise be rejected as unacceptable, allowing them to be transmitted surreptitiously. Other dogwhistles (like the 1988 "Willie Horton" ad) work by influencing people in ways that they are not aware of, and which they would likely reject were they aware. Figleaves (such as "just asking questions") take messages that could easily be recognized as unacceptable, and provide just enough cover that people become more willing to accept them. Saul argues that these devices are important for the spread of racist discourse. She also shows how they contribute to the transmission of norm-violating discourse more generally, focusing on the case of wildly implausible conspiracist speech. This book is the first full-length exploration of dogwhistles and figleaves. It offers an illuminating and disturbing view of the workings of contemporary political discourse.

The Open Conspiracy - Blueprints...

H. G. Wells

This version of The Open Conspiracy: Blue Prints for a World Revolution was published in 1928. Apparently Wells knew this would be a temporary version and would stop printing after a year or so. It was rewritten a couple of times between then and 1933 under various other subtitles.
The book is, in Wells' words, a "scheme to thrust forward and establish a human control over the destinies of life and liberate it from its present dangers, uncertainties and miseries. It proposes that largely as the result of scientific progress, a common vision of a world 'politically, socially and economically unified' is emerging among educated and influential people, and that this can be the basis of 'a world revolution aiming at universal peace, welfare and happy activity' that can result in the establishment of a 'world commonwealth'."
