Beschreibung

Norfolk Mutiny explores the multifaceted history of Norfolk Island, a remote Pacific outpost shaped by the infamous Mutiny on the Bounty, its subsequent settlement by mutineers and their Polynesian companions, and its grim role as a brutal penal colony. The book examines how extreme circumstances forged a unique society on this tiny island.

 
Consider that the mutiny on the HMS Bounty, triggered by Captain Bligh's tyranny and the allure of Tahiti, set in motion a chain of events leading to the establishment of a unique Anglo-Polynesian community. Later, descendants of the Bounty mutineers relocated from Pitcairn Island due to overcrowding, bringing their distinct culture and language to Norfolk Island.

 
The book traces the island's history from the initial Bounty mutiny and the establishment of the Pitcairn settlement to the penal colony years, detailing the harsh conditions endured by convicts and the administrative structures in place. It culminates with the Pitcairn Islanders' resettlement and their efforts to build a new community while grappling with the legacy of their predecessors.

 
Drawing on British Admiralty documents, convict records, and oral histories, Norfolk Mutiny provides a comprehensive and accessible account of Norfolk Island's past, highlighting themes of resilience, adaptation, and the negotiation of identity in this isolated environment.

    Where do you get your values and sensibilities from? If you grew up in a Western democracy, the answer is probably liberalism. Conservatives are right about one thing: liberalism is the ideology of our times, as omnipresent as religion once was. Yet, as Alexandre Lefebvre argues in Liberalism as a Way of Life, many of us are liberal without fully realizing it—or grasping what it means. Misled into thinking that liberalism is confined to politics, we fail to recognize that it's the water we swim in, saturating every area of public and private life, shaping our psychological and spiritual outlooks, and influencing our moral and aesthetic values—our sense of what is right, wrong, good, bad, funny, worthwhile, and more. This eye-opening book shows how so many of us are liberal to the core, why liberalism provides the basis for a good life, and how we can make our lives better and happier by becoming more aware of, and more committed to, the beliefs we already hold. 
     
     
     
    A lively, engaging, and uplifting guide to living well, the liberal way, Liberalism as a Way of Life is filled with examples from television, movies, stand-up comedy, and social media—from Parks and Recreation and The Good Place to the Borat movies and Hannah Gadsby. Along the way, you'll also learn about seventeen benefits of being a liberal and practical exercises to increase these rewards.

    Timothy Francis Leary (October 22, 1920 - May 31, 1996) was an American psychologist and author known for his strong advocacy of psychedelic drugs, particularly LSD. Evaluations of Leary are polarized, ranging from "bold oracle" to "publicity hound". According to poet Allen Ginsberg, he was "a hero of American consciousness", and writer Tom Robbins called him a "brave neuronaut". President Richard Nixon called him "the most dangerous man in America". During the 1960s and 1970s, at the height of the counterculture movement, Leary was arrested 36 times. The following recording was made in 1992.
