  Michel Foucault - The...

  Michel Foucault, a French philosopher, historian, and social theorist, is renowned for his critical exploration of power, knowledge, and social institutions. Born in 1926, Foucault’s work spans a range of disciplines, from philosophy to sociology, psychology, and political science. His intellectual journey reflects a unique approach to understanding human societies, focusing not on abstract metaphysical systems but on the structures that shape human behavior, knowledge, and institutions. 
  Foucault’s work is marked by a critique of the traditional ways of understanding the relationship between individuals and society. He challenged the dominant historical narratives and sought to uncover the deeper structures of power that influenced the development of knowledge. One of his central ideas was that knowledge and power are intimately connected—knowledge is not neutral but shaped by power relations that determine what is considered true or false. In this sense, his work was not just theoretical but deeply political, as it explored how systems of power create the conditions for knowledge and vice versa. 
  Foucault’s philosophy is often associated with his concept of "genealogy," a method he developed to investigate historical processes and the ways in which ideas, norms, and practices evolve over time. However, it is in his "archaeology of knowledge" that he makes his most significant philosophical contributions. The archaeological method is a way of analyzing the historical layers of knowledge and uncovering the deep structures that underlie our understanding of the world. Unlike traditional historiography, which tends to focus on narratives and individuals, Foucault's archaeology examines the discourses and institutions that create and maintain knowledge, highlighting the ways they shape and limit what can be known.

  As an author, I spend a lot of time sitting at the keyboard, as do many in my and similar professions. Prior to becoming a novelist, I was a long-haul trucker, another sedentary lifestyle. Over the course of many years, the body I once had as an active-duty Marine turned into a blob.So, I decided to do something about it. The change from Marine to blob took decades, so I didn’t even notice it happening. But when I put the aging process in reverse, the changes were very noticeable and fast-coming.This was thanks mostly to Sam Hoster, my co-author and owner of Stay Strong Fitness. I know very little about health and fitness, except that I’m living proof that even in our mid-sixties, it’s not too late to become fit and strong. So, I invited Sam to write this book with me. Through the guidance and tutelage of his trainers and coaches, I went from blob to competitive powerlifter in just over a year.This book isn’t a memoir, but a motivational. Anyone can become stronger and healthier. All you need is guidance and a little push. That’s what we’re here for. Sam provides the guidance and I do the pushing. Kinda like in the gym.

  Kaffe Fassett has led an extraordinary life and is a captivating storyteller with a vivid memory. Born in 1937, he spent much of his youth in Big Sur, California, where his parents bought a cabin from Orson Welles and transformed it into the world-famous Nepenthe restaurant, a gathering place for artists and bohemians. After attending a boarding school run by the disciples of Krishnamurti, an Indian guru, he studied painting at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, then traveled to England, where he made his home. After an inspiring trip to Inverness, Scotland, Fassett began designing knitwear for Bill Gibb, and then the Missonis, Vogue magazine, and private clients like Lauren Bacall and Barbra Streisand, and, in the process, revolutionized the handknitting world with his explosive use of color. Further explorations led him to needlepoint, mosaics, rugmaking, tapestries, yarn and fabric design, costume and set design, and quilting. Now in his seventies, Fassett continues to produce new work and to travel worldwide to teach and lecture. In this intimate autobiography, Fassett shares rich, detailed stories about his lifelong creative journey. 
    
  “Shapes and patterns are everywhere; they lie waiting for the person who wants to see them. It's the bricolage aspect behind his work and, arguably, Fassett himself: arranging disparate things to create something dynamic and new.”—Vogue Knitting

  Desert Walker - My Lucky Life

  Denis Bartell OAM

  My manuscript, Desert Walker, is a journey from my childhood through to my adult years. It is a true story of my many and varied exploits into the Australian Outback, interspersed with chapters of my personal life. I have walked remote deserts, boated and canoed mighty flooded rivers, conquered the outback in 4x4 wheel drive vehicles and a solar powered car, retraced the journeys of early explorerers and ridden camels across some of the harshest terrain in the world. 
  The Press at various times have labelled me a contemporary Australian explorer, one of the quintessential characters of Australia's inland, an Australian adventurer and an outback legend. 
  Some of my ventures were attempts to break records, others were undertaken to address personal problems, all were to reach higher goals and fulfill long held dreams, while two of my journeys raised considerable money for worthwhile causes. 
  I have always had a great interest in and empathy with the early explorers. Having personally retraced the footsteps of many of these courageous men, their ventures have been woven into some of my own adventure stories. Although generally brief, it is hoped that readers will be encouraged to delve more deeply into their lives and our past history as a whole, both Aboriginal and European. 
  In 1989 I was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) and The Australian Geographic magazine awarded me their Adventurer of the Year Gold Medallion. 
  Over the years via the Press, TV and radio, I have tried to encourage the young to get out and experience our great outback and our heritage, to challenge life in general and to be participants of life and adventure, not just spectators. For the not so young and the middle aged, I have endeavoured by example to show that age is not a barrier, it is merely an excuse and that dreams and aspirations can become a reality if one is prepared to give it a go.
