Sinossi

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.

The Art of Communicating

Anonimo

Zen master Thick Nhat Hanh, bestselling author of Peace is Every Step and one of the most respected and celebrated religious leaders in the world, delivers a powerful path to happiness through mastering life's most important skill. 
How do we say what we mean in a way that the other person can really hear? 
How can we listen with compassion and understanding? 
Communication fuels the ties that bind, whether in relationships, business, or everyday interactions. Most of us, however, have never been taught the fundamental skills of communication—or how to best represent our true selves. Effective communication is as important to our well-being and happiness as the food we put into our bodies. It can be either healthy (and nourishing) or toxic (and destructive). 
In this precise and practical guide, Zen master and Buddhist monk Thick Nhat Hanh reveals how to listen mindfully and express your fullest and most authentic self. With examples from his work with couples, families, and international conflicts, The Art of Communicating helps us move beyond the perils and frustrations of misrepresentation and misunderstanding to learn the listening and speaking skills that will forever change how we experience and impact the world.

Vagabonds - Life on the Streets...

Oskar Jensen

Dickensian London is brought to real and vivid life in this innovative, accessible social history, revealing the true character of this place and time through the stories of its street denizens—shortlisted for the Wolfson History Prize 2023 
 
 
 
London, 1857: A pair of teenage girls holding a sign that says "Fugitive Slaves" ask for money on the corner of Blackman Street. After a constable accosts them and charges them with begging, they end up in court, where national newspapers pick up their story. Are the girls truly escaped slaves from Kentucky? Or will the city's dystopian Mendicity Society catch them in a lie, exposing them as born-and-raised Londoners and endangering their safety? 
 
 
 
With its many accounts of people like these who lived and made their living on the streets, Vagabonds forms a moving picture of London's most compelling period (1780–1870). Piecing together contemporary sources such as newspaper articles, letters, and journal entries, historian Oskar Jensen follows the harrowing, hopeful journeys of the city's poor: children, immigrants, street performers, thieves, and sex workers, all diverse in gender, ethnicity, ability, and origin. For the first time, their own voices give us a radical new perspective on this moment in history, with its deep inequality that bears an astonishing resemblance to our own era's divides.

How to Have a Life - An Ancient...

Seneca

A vibrant new translation of Seneca's "On the Shortness of Life," a pointed reminder to make the most of our time 
 
 
 
Who doesn't worry sometimes that smart phones, the Internet, and TV are robbing us of time and preventing us from having a life? How can we make the most of our time on earth? In the first century AD, the Stoic philosopher Seneca the Younger offered one of the most famous answers to that question in his essay "On the Shortness of Life"—a work that has more to teach us today than ever before. In How to Have a Life, James Romm presents a vibrant new translation of Seneca's brilliant essay, plus two Senecan letters on the same theme, complete with an inviting introduction. 
 
 
 
With devastating satiric wit, skillfully captured in this translation, Seneca lampoons the ways we squander our time and fail to realize how precious it is. We don't allow people to steal our money, yet we allow them to plunder our time, or else we give it away ourselves in useless, idle pursuits. Seneca also describes how we can make better use of our brief days and years. In the process, he argues, we can make our lives longer, or even everlasting, because to live a real life is to attain a kind of immortality.
