Beschreibung

Sydney Origins explores the transformation of a remote colonial outpost into the global city it is today, examining Sydney's deep Indigenous heritage, British colonization, and subsequent urban development. The book highlights how understanding Sydney's past is crucial for grasping Australian identity, colonial legacies, and the ongoing dialogue between Indigenous and non-Indigenous cultures. For example, archaeological evidence reveals that Indigenous peoples inhabited the Sydney region for millennia before European arrival, shaping the land in ways that are still visible today. The book emphasizes how Sydney’s identity is indelibly marked by the interaction between its Indigenous past and its colonial present.

 


 
The book adopts a chronological approach, starting with pre-colonial Sydney, then investigating the arrival of the First Fleet in 1788, and finally examining Sydney's expansion during the 19th and 20th centuries. It draws from archival research, archaeological findings, and Indigenous oral histories to reconstruct the social and economic landscape of colonial Sydney. A unique aspect of this book is its integration of Indigenous perspectives into the traditional historical narrative, prioritizing Indigenous voices and experiences. This approach offers a nuanced understanding of Sydney's origins, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in Australian history and culture.

    The true story of the man who gave his life to create the English-language Bible.The English Bible—the most familiar book in our language—is the product of a man who was exiled, vilified, betrayed, then strangled, then burnt.William Tyndale left England in 1524 to translate the word of God into English. This was heresy, punishable by death. Sir Thomas More, hailed as a saint and a man for all seasons, considered it his divine duty to pursue Tyndale. He did so with an obsessive ferocity that, in all probability, led to Tyndale's capture and death.The words that Tyndale wrote during his desperate exile have a beauty and familiarity that still resonate across the English-speaking world: “Death, where is thy sting? . . . eat, drink, and be merry . . . our Father which art in heaven.” His New Testament, which he translated, edited, financed, printed, and smuggled into England in 1526, passed with few changes into subsequent versions of the Bible. So did those books of the Old Testament that he lived to finish.Brian Moynahan's lucid and meticulously researched biography illuminates Tyndale's life, from his childhood in England, to his death outside Brussels. It chronicles the birth pangs of the Reformation, the wrath of Henry VIII, the sympathy of Anne Boleyn, and the consuming malice of Thomas More. Above all, it reveals the English Bible as a labor of love, for which a man in an age more spiritual than our own willingly gave his life.

    The more you understand someone's history, the better you can see their humanity. This is true for individuals as well as for society at large. Race relations have suffered because of the erasure of important Black history and cultural context. As we fill in the gaps of our collective knowledge, communities can grow in understanding, empathy, and solidarity. 
     
     
     
    Terence Lester shares the buried history of the struggles Black people have faced against unjust systems. He tells powerful stories of courage, injustice, pain, and triumph, including ones from his own history. He also unpacks the sociological and cultural dynamics of unconscious bias and inattentional ignorance that keep us apart, and how they can be overcome. This honest account of what it's like to be Black in America paves the way for the church to move beyond showing support from a distance toward loving one another in long-term solidarity, advocacy, and friendship.

    An investigation into the nature of violence, terror, and trauma through conversations with a notorious war criminal and hero to white nationalists. 
     
    Between October 2014 and November 2016, global terrorism expert Jessica Stern held a series of conversations in a prison cell in The Hague with Radovan Karadzic, a Bosnian Serb former politician who had been indicted for genocide and other war crimes during the Bosnian War and who became an inspiration for white nationalists. Though Stern was used to interviewing terrorists in the field in an effort to understand their hidden motives, the conversations she had with Karadzic would profoundly alter her understanding of the mechanics of fear, the motivations of violence, and the psychology of those who perpetrate mass atrocities at a state level and who—like the terrorists she had previously studied—target noncombatants, in violation of ethical norms and international law. 
    How do leaders persuade ordinary people to kill their neighbors? What is the “ecosystem” that creates and nurtures genocidal leaders? Could anything about their personal histories, personalities, or exposure to historical trauma shed light on the formation of a war criminal’s identity in opposition to a targeted Other? 
    In My War Criminal, Jessica Stern brings to bear her incisive analysis and her own deeply considered reactions to her interactions with Karadzic, a brilliant and often shockingly charming psychiatrist and poet who spent twelve years in hiding, disguising himself as an energy healer, while also offering a deeply insightful and sometimes chilling account of the complex and even seductive powers of a magnetic leader—and what can happen when you spend many, many hours with that person.  
    Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.
