Synopsis

In "Notes of a Gold Digger, and Gold Diggers' Guide," James Bonwick offers a captivating exploration of the gold rush phenomenon that swept across Australia in the mid-19th century. The book combines elements of memoir and practical guide, providing readers with a vivid account of the daily lives, trials, and triumphs of prospectors. Bonwick's literary style is characterized by its rich descriptive language, creating an intimate connection between the reader and the landscape of the goldfields. Positioned within the broader context of Australian colonial literature, this work reflects both the dreams and harsh realities experienced by those seeking fortune during a time of great economic upheaval and migration. James Bonwick, born in 1817, was not only an author but also an educator and historian whose own experiences during the gold rush profoundly shaped his perspectives. His involvement in the educational reform and his firsthand experiences as a gold digger provide authenticity and depth to the narrative. Bonwick's insights reveal a nuanced understanding of the socioeconomic forces at play and the human spirit's resilience in the face of adversity. Readers interested in Australian history, as well as those drawn to adventure and personal narratives, will find Bonwick's work compelling. "Notes of a Gold Digger, and Gold Diggers' Guide" serves as both a historical document and an entertaining read, enriching our understanding of a pivotal chapter in Australia's development.

    The impeachment of Donald Trump as told by a member of Congress with a front-row seat to history. 
     
    Historians will look back over time at the events of the fall of 2019 and the impeachment of Donald J. Trump, and will debate the merits of the charges and the circumstances that caused the whole debacle. In The Clock and the Calendar,  
    Congressman Doug Collins will explain why the impeachment was not really about a phone call with a foreign leader or how the president conducted himself; no, it was not even about the Russia investigation that had fizzled just months before  
    these proceedings. What happened in the halls of Congress during this time was merely a date with a destiny that was dreamed of by Democrats still feeling the sting of bitter tears in Brooklyn on the night that Donald Trump derailed the  
    coronation of Hillary Clinton. It was on that night that the mainstream media was stunned and brought to tears, and the Washington establishment shook to their very core, that the seed was planted. We may not have won tonight, they said, but  
    we will never let this stand. Instead of looking to win again in four years, the movement began to look for another solution. Seeds had already been sown: the way was impeachment and that was the destiny they sought.

    The Language of Climate Politics...

    In an illuminating analysis, Dr. Genevieve Guenther shows that the climate debate is not, in fact, neatly polarized, with Republicans obstructing climate action and Democrats advancing climate solutions. Partisans on the right and the left often repeat the same fossil-fuel talking points, and this repetition produces a centrist consensus upholding the status quo, even as global heating accelerates. 
     
     
     
    Weaving this analysis through fascinating critical histories of the terms that dominate the language of climate politics—the words we, alarmist, cost, growth, "India and China," innovation, and resilience—Dr. Guenther shows how this consensus is established. Fossil-fuel interests weaponize the discourses of science, economics, and activism, co-opting and twisting climate language to help greenwash their plans for ongoing extraction. But all too often climate scientists, economists, and even advocates will unwittingly echo the false and dangerous assumptions of their supposed political opponents. This apparent agreement between foes, filtered through the news media, not only influences our commonsense yet mistaken views about the climate crisis but also enables powerful decisionmakers to justify the corporate and policy actions that threaten us all. Revealing this dynamic, Guenther shows how to transform it.

    The Sutra of 42 Chapters is a scripture complied in the first century CE.  Each saying comes from Buddha, but the whole work was a new anthology created especially for introducing Buddhism in a new country. That's why it makes such a good, basic introduction to the world view of Gautam Buddha. 
    It is very simple in its approach, very direct. It is, in essence the whole of Buddha's message, but very simple, not elaborate and very scholarly as other Buddhist scriptures are.
    Osho extracts the kernel of Buddha's profound insight and understanding and presents his everlasting message to the contemporary listener in a manner that is lucid, straightforward and humorous. Far from being just a statue, here Buddha is an amazing human being so far ahead of his time that even now he is only just beginning to be more widely understood.
    In these talks Osho discusses the need for doubt and argument in the spiritual search, the nature of desire and the discipline of non-attachment.
    The talks in this audiobook are a series of original OSHO Talks, titled "The Discipline of Transcendence, Vol.2".
