Synopsis

Australian Fires explores the intricate history of bushfires in Australia, emphasizing the critical need to understand past events for effective future fire management. The book charts the evolution of fire management policies, highlighting how government responses have shifted from reactive measures to more proactive strategies. By examining the ecological consequences of historical fires and analyzing societal responses, the book argues for a comprehensive approach to mitigating the increasing risks exacerbated by climate change. 

 
The book uniquely integrates historical analysis with contemporary scientific understanding, drawing on environmental science, political science, and sociology to provide a holistic perspective. It reveals how disrupting Aboriginal fire-stick farming practices after colonization led to altered fire regimes and increased fuel loads, fundamentally changing the landscape. 

 
The book progresses chronologically, detailing significant bushfires, examining government roles, and evaluating policy changes, using historical records, scientific studies, and community accounts. Ultimately, the book offers practical recommendations for improving fire management practices and fostering community resilience. It delves into debates surrounding prescribed burning, climate change impacts, and the crucial role of Indigenous knowledge, presenting a balanced view that aims to inform policymakers, environmental professionals, and anyone interested in Australia's fiery history and its implications for the future.

    Do you feel pain and sadness uncontrollably bubbling out of your body? 
    Are you struggling with feelings of anxiety and the fear of not being loved? 
      
    Do you struggle to explain in a rational way why this happens to you? 
    Are you in touch with your inner child? 
      
    Often, the baggage we carry from our childhood can be very difficult to shake off, especially when we have been exposed to deep trauma. 
      
    This pain leaves wounds that can affect the ability to experience happiness, enjoy current relationships, achieve success, or perhaps even raise children in the way that you want to. 
    Some of the signs that your inner child is still suffering: 
      
    Difficulty with emotions 
    Anxiety with new experiences 
    Obsessive and Needy 
    Poor Self-Esteem 
    Difficulty with Boundaries 
    Identity Problems 
    The effects of unresolved pain build up over time and change the way in which we perceive events, people and ourselves. For those who have been abused or neglected, the effects have far-reaching consequences and if you don't take action they will continue indefinitely. 
      
    It won't be easy, but with the practical exercises in this manual, I will take you by the hand to reconnect with the little boy or girl within you. 
    If we undertake inner-child work by connecting to the little boy or girl within us, we can reconnect with some of the reasons for our adult fears, phobias and life patterns. When we begin to understand them, then the fantastic magic of healing and peace with oneself can occur. Just take a deep breath, relax that knot in your stomach and grab this book!

    Kushan Empire The: The History...

    Long before it was known as Afghanistan, and even longer before it acquired its current reputation, Afghanistan’s modern borders were fairly congruent with the ancient country known as Bactria. Bactria was the seat of several different kingdoms during the course of many centuries, but none were as successful as the Kushan Empire, the dominant political entity in Central Asia from the early 2nd century BCE until the early 3rd century CE, during which time the Kushan rulers played a major role in the first iteration of the trade networks known collectively as the Silk Road. The Kushans began as nomadic steppe warriors who eventually grew tired of constantly migrating and subsequently put their skills and experience to use by conquering Bactria and creating a kingdom that was stronger economically than it was militarily. Taking advantage of their location on the Silk Road trade routes, the Kushan kings charged fees and tolls for goods passing through their empire and developed over-land and sea routes that brought goods from China to Rome and vice versa. But silk, textiles, gold, silver, and other commodities were not the only things that entered the Kushan Empire from the East and West; the Kushan Empire was a focal point for the spread of ideas, diplomats, and diseases. Although the Romans and the Chinese never had direct contact, they both had diplomatic relations with the Kushan kings, who proved to be outstanding diplomats. The Kushan Empire eventually became a transit point of people and ideas, where enormous wealth was exchanged alongside early forms of monotheism, such as Zoroastrianism and Buddhism. The Kushan kings recognized these cultural benefits and so practiced a policy of patronizing different religious philosophies and maintaining peaceful relations with other powers along the Silk Roads to keep the flow of goods moving.

    Celebrating the persistence of Turtle Power Raise Some Shell critically and cleverly examines the origins, evolution, and impact of the Ninja Turtles phenomenon ― from its beginning as a self-published black-and-white comic book in 1984, through its transformation into a worldwide transmedia phenomenon by the middle of the 1990s, and up to the sale of the property to Nickelodeon in 2009 and relaunch of the Turtles with new comics, cartoons, and a big-budget Hollywood film. With the eye of contemporary cultural studies and the voice of a true lifelong Turtles fan, Rosenbaum argues that the Turtles’ continuing success isn’t mere nostalgia, but rather the result of characters, and a franchise, that mutated in a way that allowed the to survive and thrive in a post-modern world.

    Shortly after the first Europeans arrived in seventeenth-century New England, they began to import Africans and capture the area's indigenous peoples as slaves. By the eve of the American Revolution, enslaved people comprised only about 4 percent of the population, but slavery had become instrumental to the region's economy and had shaped its cultural traditions. This story of slavery in New England has been little told. 
     
     
     
    In this concise yet comprehensive history, Jared Ross Hardesty focuses on the individual stories of enslaved people, bringing their experiences to life. He also explores larger issues such as the importance of slavery to the colonization of the region and to agriculture and industry, New England's deep connections to Caribbean plantation societies, and the significance of emancipation movements in the era of the American Revolution. Thoroughly researched and engagingly written, Black Lives, Native Lands, White Worlds is a must-listen for anyone interested in the history of New England.

    China's Foreign Policy...

    Throughout the post–Mao reform era, China has championed the principle of sovereign state control, which holds that states should not intervene in the affairs of other states. Yet as Tim Nicholas Rühlig argues in China's Foreign Policy Contradictions, in recent years they have not actually acted this way. Chinese foreign policy actions fail to match up with official rhetoric, and these inconsistencies—in combination with China's growing power—will have dramatic effects on the future shape of international order. 
     
     
     
    To explain these contradictions, Rühlig draws from in-depth interviews with party-state officials to explain the foreign policy dynamics and processes of the normally opaque Chinese party-state. He demonstrates how different sources of the Chinese Communist Party's domestic legitimacy compete within the complex and highly fragmented Chinese party-state, resulting in contradictory foreign policies. He focuses on three issue areas: international human rights law and "responsibility to protect" (R2P); China's role in World Trade Organization (WTO) policymaking; and China's evolving relationship with Hong Kong. 
     
     
     
    In this work, Rühlig shows not only why China's foreign policy is so inconsistent, but why it is likely to contribute to a more particularistic, plural, and fragmented international order in the years to come.
