Sinopsis

Trans Tasman explores the intricate and often-overlooked relationship between Australia and New Zealand, arguing that it extends beyond simple neighborly ties. The book examines how shared history, converging interests, and enduring rivalries have shaped their unique bond. It highlights that while the relationship is often portrayed as one of camaraderie, it is a complex mix of cooperation, competition, and occasional divergence, crucial for understanding South Pacific geopolitics.

 
One intriguing aspect explored is how both nations, despite their ANZAC heritage and defense cooperation, sometimes differ in their strategic priorities. The book dissects the historical narrative, economic agreements like CER (Closer Economic Relations), and the security/defense alliance between the two countries.

 
It progresses through chapters that first establish the historical context, then delve into the economic partnership, and finally concentrate on security and defense cooperation. Supported by primary source documents, statistical data, and scholarly research, Trans Tasman provides a comprehensive and nuanced understanding of the trans-Tasman dynamic, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in international relations and the South Pacific.

Would you dare to meet the part of yourself that never asked for permission?
Inside this book, you will uncover:Lilith’s true origins in ancient Mesopotamian and Judaic traditionsHer transformation through Kabbalah, demonology, and European folkloreThe resurgence of Lilith in twentieth-century feminism, psychology, and pop cultureSecret rituals, spells, and practices to reconnect with the forgotten sacred feminineA deep exploration of lunar phases and the cycle of the feminineThe hidden face of desire that refuses to be domesticatedPractical offerings and meditations to reclaim your voice and your space

You will not find promises of empowerment through ritual alone—you will find tools to strip away the expectations that have muted your presence, and practices to confront the uncomfortable truths buried beneath silence and compliance.
Lilith does not offer comfort.
She offers recognition.
A recognition of the voice you have silenced, the strength you have negotiated away, and the autonomy you were told to fear.
If you are ready to awaken the sacred feminine within you, to stand without apology, and to reclaim what was taken, Lilith is already waiting on the threshold. Step through.

Good Tidings and Great Joy -...

Anónimo

In her New York Times bestsellers Going Rogue and America by Heart, Sarah Palin revealed the strong Christian faith that has guided her life and family. In Good Tidings and Great Joy she calls for bringing back the freedom to express the Christian values of the season. She asserts the importance of preserving Jesus Christ in Christmas—in public displays, school concerts, pageants, and our expressions to one another other—and laments the over-commercialization and homogenization of Christmas in today's society. 
Interwoven throughout are personal memories and family traditions, as well as more than a dozen family photos, which illustrate the reasons why the celebration of Jesus Christ's nativity is the centerpiece of her faith. Palin believes it is imperative that we stand up for our beliefs before the element of faith in a glorious and traditional holiday like Christmas is marginalized and ignored. She also encourages readers to see what is possible when we unite in defense of our religious convictions and ignore the politically correct Scrooges seeking to take Christ out of Christmas. Good Tidings and Great Joy is a call to action to openly celebrate the joys of Christianity, and say Merry Christmas to one another.

Banished from Johnstown - Racist...

Cody McDevitt, Tony Norman

Author and journalist Cody McDevitt tells the story of one of the worst civil rights injustices in Western Pennsylvania history. 
 
 
 
In 1923, in response to the fatal shooting of four policemen, the mayor of Johnstown ordered every African American and Mexican immigrant who had lived in the city for less than seven years to leave. They were given less than a day to move or would face crippling fines or jail time and were forced out at gunpoint. An estimated two thousand people uprooted their lives in response to the racist edict. Area Ku Klux Klan members celebrated the creation of a "sundown town" and increased their own intimidation practices. Figures such as Marcus Garvey spoke out in Pittsburgh against it as newspapers throughout the country published condemnations.

How to Say No - An Ancient Guide...

Diogenes

The Cynics were ancient Greek philosophers who stood athwart the flood of society's material excess, unexamined conventions, and even norms of politeness and thundered "No!" Diogenes, the most famous Cynic, wasn't shy about literally extending his middle finger to the world. When asked why he was called Diogenes the Dog, he replied "because I fawn on those who give, I bark at those who don't, and I bite scoundrels." How to Say No is a delightful collection of brief ancient writings about Cynicism that captures all the outrageousness, wit, and wisdom of its remarkable cast of characters—from Diogenes in the fourth century BCE to the column-stander Symeon Stylites in late antiquity. 
 
 
 
With their "less is more" approach to life, the Cynics speak urgently to our world of climate change, economic uncertainty, and psychic malaise. Although the Cynics weren't writers, their memorable utterances and behavior were recorded by their admirers and detractors, and M. D. Usher offers fresh new translations of appealing selections from this body of writing—ranging from street sermons and repartee to biography and snapshots of Cynics in action. 
 
 
 
Complete with introductions to the volume, this lively book demonstrates why the Cynics still retain their power to surprise us and make us laugh—and to make us think and question how we live.
