Summary

Bush Rights Rise explores the ongoing struggle of the Bushmen, also known as the San, in Southern Africa to preserve their ancestral lands and cultural identity amidst the pressures of modernization and globalization. The book delves into their historical dispossession, highlighting how colonial and post-colonial policies systematically denied them access to their traditional territories. It examines the legal battles they've waged to reclaim their land rights and achieve self-determination, revealing the complexities of balancing state sovereignty with the rights of marginalized populations. The book's unique value lies in its interdisciplinary approach, drawing from history, political science, and legal studies to provide a holistic understanding of the Bushmen's challenges. It analyzes key legal cases in Botswana, Namibia, and South Africa, showcasing the legal strategies employed and the outcomes of these landmark decisions. Furthermore, it investigates the impact of modernization on the Bushmen's cultural identity and social structures, offering fresh insights into the intricacies of their legal battles through previously unexplored primary source materials. The book progresses systematically, first introducing the Bushmen's history and socio-political context, then analyzing legal cases, and finally assessing the impact of modernization. This structured approach allows readers to grasp the multifaceted nature of the Bushmen's struggle and its implications for indigenous rights worldwide, emphasizing the importance of cultural preservation and sustainable development that respects the rights and cultural heritage of marginalized communities.

    Kingdom of Wolves clears the path to understanding the unconscious drives that motivate if not govern the behaviours of predators, abusers, bullies, their victims and the underlying issues that draw them to each other. The author demystifies the complexities of human behaviour, merging old concepts with new as she guides you through the emotional and psychological landscapes of the abuser’s and victim’s psyche. She provides a simple but profound insight into the adverse causes and outcomes of early childhood and adolescent development, linking it to present-day adult ways of life. Juliana, once a victim of domestic abuse herself, believes that freedom, reclamation, redemption and wholeness of spirit can only be achieved by taking a journey inward. She hopes through this book to provide a way forward for victims who are trapped by their past experiences or present-day abusive circumstances and concludes that the key to recognition, understanding and prevention of violence and abuse can only be gained through acquiring a deeper awareness of human behaviour.

    Bestselling author Erich von Däniken explores the evidence of ancient visitors treated as gods in religious scripture and mythology. His findings shake the foundations of both science and faith.Why do nearly all the world’s major religions share similar myths and legends? Whether it’s the Old Testament, ancient legends, or the creation myths of New Zealand’s natives, you come across similar stories everywhere. Erich von Däniken, author of the international bestseller Chariots of the Gods, believes he knows the answer—and it is as wondrous and awe-inspiring as it is controversial: The winged angels populating the Bible, the Koran, and other religious texts from cultures the world over were, in reality, extraterrestrials who visited the Earth in ages long past.Who were the gods of ancient lore? How can the contradictions in the Bible be explained? Why are the pagodas of Myanmar (formerly Burma) so amazingly similar to space-capable rockets? Erich von Däniken provides convincing new and surprising interpretations and answers that fundamentally contradict both the teachings of religion and current science. His astonishing conclusion: The gods were not metaphysical beings that humans created in their imagination, but extraterrestrial intelligences that have left their traces all over the Earth. He offers persuasive evidence that actual living beings inspired the legends that became the basis for many of our religious traditions.

    In Israel and the Cyber Threat, Charles D. ("Chuck") Freilich, Matthew S. Cohen, and Gabi Siboni provide a detailed and comprehensive study of Israel's cyber strategy, tracing it from its origins to the present. They analyze Israel's highly advanced civil and military cyber capabilities and organizational structures to offer insights into what other countries can learn from Israel's experience. To achieve this, they explore how and why Israel has been able to build a remarkable cyber ecosystem and turn itself, despite its small size, into a global cyber power. The book further examines the major cyber threats facing Israel, including the most in-depth look at Iranian cyber policies and attacks; Israel's defensive and offensive capabilities and the primary attacks it has conducted; capacity building; international cooperation; and the impact of Israel's strategic culture on its cyber prowess. By placing Israel's actions in the realm of international relations theory, the book sheds light on many of the major questions in the field regarding cyber policies. 
 
 
 
The most authoritative work to date on Israeli cyber strategy, this book provides a comprehensive look at the major actions Israel has taken in cyberspace. It also places them in the broader context of global cyber developments to help listeners understand state behavior in cyberspace.

    March 2009. When 100 strangers arrived at a run-of-the-mill meeting for Singapore gender-equality group AWARE, long-time members sensed that something was wrong. Who were the mysterious women wresting control of this respected volunteer organisation? And what disturbing secrets united them? What happened next became the stuff of national legend: starting with an astonishing coup and culminating in an extraordinary demonstration of equality and justice.  
 
First released in 2020 as an award-winning long-form narrative podcast—the first ever in Singapore—Saga captured the social and political reverberations, and electrifying plot twists, that defined this chapter in Singapore civil society history.

This is more than a record of events. It is an intimately human story of power and resistance, courage and community—and a reminder of how fragile, and how vital, civic life can be.
