Sinopse

Christmas Island, an Australian territory, serves as a microcosm for understanding global issues. This book explores the island's complex history, focusing on its strategic importance in resource economics and immigration policy.The story of phosphate mining on Christmas Island, for instance, reveals how a seemingly remote location became a key player in global trade, impacting the island's unique cultural and ecological landscape. The book also examines the ethical and geopolitical implications of using the island as a site for immigration detention, raising critical questions about national sovereignty and humanitarian obligations.The book provides a comprehensive historical context, tracing the island's geological formation to its present-day challenges. It begins with the discovery and exploitation of phosphate, detailing how this resource attracted laborers from various countries and transformed the island's demographics. Later chapters shift to Australia's controversial use of Christmas Island for processing asylum seekers.Christmas Island provides valuable insights into how resource management, migration control, and environmental sustainability are intertwined, making it essential reading for anyone interested in politics, history, and the challenges facing island communities in a globalized world.

    WISDOM FROM THE WOMEN HEALERS OF THE PSYCHEDELIC UNDERGROUND 
     
     
     
    The use of entheogens, or psychedelics, is out of the closet today. LSD, psilocybin, MDMA, and other medicines once associated only with the counterculture are now being legally studied for their healing properties. But as Rachel Harris shows, the underground use and study of psychedelics by women dates back to the Eleusinian Mysteries of ancient Greece. 
     
     
     
    Harris interviews the modern women elders carrying on this tradition to gather their hard-won wisdom of experience. Any listener interested in inspiration, healing, and enlightenment will find here a wonder-filled narrative packed with provocative and perhaps life-changing insight.

    In this 2024 conversation with Justine Willis Toms, Valerie Andrews explores the complex dimensions of home, including its physical, psychological, and emotional aspects. She says we carry a sense of place and identity with us wherever we go, and that the time of sheltering in place gave us time to assess our circumstances when it came to our home. Was it a safe place with nurturing roommates? Was it a pleasant place that offered inspiration and beauty? Or was it cluttered, unsafe, or upsetting? She also enlightens us about the human need to find a home in nature, saying ”Once you find a home in nature, you are never lost.” We are made of the same matter as earth; breathing the breath of forests, our tears and blood the salty ocean. This deep dialogue includes how home is a laboratory for understanding ourselves. Andrews also shares insights on the caretaking of family members and other loved ones wanting to age in place including those who choose to die at home. 
    Valerie Andrews is a writer, editor, and seminar leader specializing in Jungian psychology and the inner life of home. She is a graduate of the Guild for Spiritual Guidance and the editor of the digital magazine Reinventing Home: Culture, Creativity, Character.  She is the author and editor of these books:A Passion for This Earth (Harper Collins 1994)Sanctuary: The Inner Life of Home (Editor) (Chiron Publications 2024)
