  In Under the Barkly Sky, Stuart Phillpot provides a comprehensive history of the Barkly Region's Traditional Owners. This well-researched book chronicles the resilience of the Wumparrani peoples over 150 years in the face of colonisation, cultural erosion, and changing government policies. Phillpot combines historical records, Indigenous voices, and analysis to tell a story of resilience, adaptation, and their ongoing struggle for justice.
  From the violent 'Killing Times' to land rights victories and the hope for an Indigenous 'Voice' to Parliament, Under the Barkly Sky reflects Australia's colonial legacy and invites us to envision a fairer future.
  This book is for those seeking to understand the challenges and resilience of the Barkly's Aboriginal communities, and offers valuable insights for policymakers, researchers, and everyone who is interested in these aspects of Australia's history.
  
  "Under the Barkly Sky explores the interactions between non-Aboriginal with and the Barkly Traditional Owners, the continuing violence and deaths, land rights successes, and never-ending changes to complex government policies affecting Aboriginal communities over the last 150 years."
  Pat Dodson - Former Minister of Indigenous Affairs (2022-2024)
  
  "Stuart Phillpot powerfully highlights the negative experiences of Australian Indigenous people resulting from Australia's ongoing contradictory interpretations of internationally accepted human rights. The stories and reflections in Under the Barkly Sky tackle many profound philosophical issues. Reading this book will be rewarding for those seeking the truth."
  Lieutenant General John Sanderson AC - Governor of Western Australia (2000-2005)
  
  My writing of this book has been supported by a team of advisors across many areas of knowledge.
  These include Indigenous peoples and their lands, cultures, and histories. politics, society, wealth and poverty, and the resulting inter-woven history of constant change.
  Additionally, I wish to thank my friend David Carroll for his invaluable, multifaceted skills and support in framing and guiding the book's progress towards publication as a valuable chronicle.

  Power. Money. Blood. Influence. 
  What began as smuggling routes through the desert has evolved into one of the most powerful underground empires on Earth — a parallel nation built on fear, loyalty, and staggering wealth. 
  In Cartel Nation, readers are taken deep inside the hidden machinery of Mexico’s drug cartels — a world where criminal networks rival governments, warlords command armies, and pop culture glorifies the very violence that terrorizes entire regions. Through gripping storytelling and meticulous investigation, this book unveils how cartels moved from the shadows into the center of politics, business, and everyday life. 
  Discover: 
  •	How Mexico’s cartels grew from small-time traffickers into transnational corporations of crime. 
  •	The secret alliances between drug lords, politicians, police, and billionaires. 
  •	How narco culture — from music and film to religion and fashion — turned the cartels into global icons. 
  •	The brutal wars fought for territory, power, and legitimacy — and why they can’t simply be “won.” 
  From the dusty streets of Sinaloa to the halls of power in Mexico City, Cartel Nation traces a chilling and fascinating rise — a story of corruption, resilience, and the dark side of globalization. 
  Suppose you’re fascinated by true crime, geopolitics, or the human cost of power. In that case, this book will leave you stunned—and unable to look away. 
  Perfect for fans of Don Winslow, Ioan Grillo, and Netflix’s Narcos, Cartel Nation reveals the truth behind the myth — and why the cartel era is far from over.

  The Audiencia in the Spanish Colonies by Charles Henry Cunningham is a seminal academic work that explores the complex and influential institution of the Audiencia—a judicial and administrative body central to Spanish colonial governance. This meticulous study focuses particularly on the Audiencia of Manila, established in 1583, and serves as a model for understanding similar institutions throughout Spains vast overseas empire. Cunningham begins with a broad historical and institutional overview in the Introduction and Chapter 1, outlining the evolution of the audiencia system in Spanish colonies. He then delves into the foundation and early development of the Manila Audiencia (1583–1598), a key administrative and legal body in the Spanish East Indies. Subsequent chapters explore the judicial and semi-judicial functions of the Audiencia, with careful attention to unique colonial adaptations of residencia (a judicial review of officials), and how the Audiencia handled civil and criminal cases. The book also investigates the administrative authority of the Audiencia and its interactions with colonial governors, particularly regarding military jurisdiction and periods of ad interim governance. Cunningham offers an in-depth study of the relationship between the Audiencia and the Catholic Church, highlighting the complex balance of power involving royal patronage and ecclesiastical jurisdiction. Rich in archival research, legal analysis, and historical context, this book is a foundational text for understanding colonial legal systems, imperial administration, and the interdependence between secular and ecclesiastical powers in the Spanish empire. It is particularly relevant to scholars of Latin American, Filipino, and colonial studies, as well as legal historians.

  I don't know who I am anymore

  Human beings have always questioned their identity in an attempt to understand themselves better and to develop. With the development of our societies and especially the new technological revolutions, the search for the self has become more perilous and dangerous because it is less controlled.
  In this essay, Thierry Delcourt discusses the mechanisms at play that undermine our identity. Based on a clinical examination of the teenagers and young adults he follows on a daily basis, he questions our psyche in the face of societal upheavals: Are we going to become virtual, to the point of criminalizing all non-consensual contact and, in fact, reducing social empathy? What are the neuropsychic consequences of AI? What are the consequences of the war in Ukraine and Palestine on our identity? What are the disorders related to contact with YouTubers, blockbusters and manga? The disorders related to the questioning of gender and sexuality? To the radicalization of the political debate, or even to the seizure of power by minorities? To drug use, which is increasing year on year? The search for altered states of consciousness and paranormal phenomena, two very strong trends among young people at the moment?
  These disorders affect us all at one time or another in our lives, and particularly in the fragile moments of our development, such as for young people confronted with the world, its constraints and its turmoil.
  Secondly, the psychiatrist provides us with avenues for constructing our identity. “The question is not ‘things were better before’, but 'what do we do with the new social, political and economic order and the transformation of the psyche? How can we resist, describe, criticize, get involved, choose, invent, subvert, play, intervene and impose in order to construct our identity properly?
