Beschreibung

Mining Towns Below explores the fascinating world of underground communities that have emerged near mining operations, focusing on places like Coober Pedy, Australia. It examines how these subterranean settlements represent a unique form of human-environment interaction, driven by both the need for resource extraction and the desire for sustainable living. The book highlights how these communities have adapted to harsh environmental conditions, offering insights into sustainable living and innovative architectural approaches. For example, underground dwellings provide natural temperature regulation, offering protection from extreme weather conditions. 

 
The book progresses from establishing the geological and historical context of these mining towns to examining the technical aspects of building and maintaining underground structures. It considers the environmental impact of mining and subterranean living, addressing issues like waste management and water usage. 

 
Drawing upon historical records, geological surveys, and interviews with residents, Mining Towns Below bridges connections between earth sciences, history, and urban planning. It also considers the long-term effects of mining activities on the surrounding environment, both above and below ground.

    In a time of rising division, political distrust, and cultural unrest, many people are asking the same haunting question: Is the American experiment collapsing—or simply being tested once again? The answer lies in the nation’s past. 
    The American Struggle for a More Perfect Union is a powerful, eye-opening exploration of the conflicts that shaped the United States and the battles that continue to define its future. From the founding of the republic to the Civil War, from Reconstruction to the Civil Rights Movement, and from modern political polarization to the fight for truth in the digital age, this book reveals the hard reality behind the American dream: democracy survives only when people are willing to defend it. 
    With clear storytelling and historically grounded insight, this book takes readers through America’s greatest turning points—moments when freedom was challenged, unity was fractured, and the nation stood at the edge of collapse. It examines the price of liberty, the power of dissent, and the courage of ordinary citizens who refused to accept injustice as destiny. 
    Inside these pages, you will discover: 
    how America’s founding ideals clashed with its earliest contradictions 
    why division has always been part of the democratic process 
    how war, protest, and political conflict reshaped the nation 
    what history teaches about leadership, resilience, and survival 
    why the struggle for freedom is still unfinished today 
    More than a history book, The American Struggle for a More Perfect Union is a timely guide for readers who want clarity in a confusing era. It offers perspective without propaganda, truth without exaggeration, and inspiration without illusion. 
    If you’ve ever felt uncertain about America’s future, this book will remind you of one critical fact: 
    The nation has faced darkness before—and survived.

    This audiobook narrated by Katherine Fenton reveals how the new conspiracists are undermining democracy—and explains what can be done about it
    
    Conspiracy theories are as old as politics. But conspiracists today have introduced something new—conspiracy without theory. And the new conspiracism has moved from the fringes to the heart of government with the election of Donald Trump. In A Lot of People Are Saying, Russell Muirhead and Nancy Rosenblum show how the new conspiracism differs from classic conspiracy theory, why so few officials speak truth to conspiracy, and what needs to be done to resist it.
    
    Classic conspiracy theory insists that things are not what they seem and gathers evidence—especially facts ominously withheld by official sources—to tease out secret machinations. The new conspiracism is different. There is no demand for evidence, no dots revealed to form a pattern, no close examination of shadowy plotters. Dispensing with the burden of explanation, the new conspiracism imposes its own reality through repetition (exemplified by the Trump catchphrase "a lot of people are saying") and bare assertion ("rigged!").
    
    The new conspiracism targets democratic foundations—political parties and knowledge-producing institutions. It makes it more difficult to argue, persuade, negotiate, compromise, and even to disagree. Ultimately, it delegitimates democracy.
    
    Filled with vivid examples, A Lot of People Are Saying diagnoses a defining and disorienting feature of today's politics and offers a guide to responding to the threat.

    GILLIAN BICKLEY was born and educated in the UK and has lived mainly in Hong Kong since 1970. The poems in Sightings are on Hong Kong, European and personal subjects, accessible to many readers, both young and old. They consider what it is like to be a human being in this modern world, drawing inspiration mainly from the people whom the writer has encountered, especially in Hong Kong. 
    An academic turned full-time writer, editor and publisher, Gillian invites readers and listeners to share her enjoyment of city and country, simple and complex ideas and events, and her empathy with the largely innocent people she has come across. In her trademark transparent style, she draws on events, happenings, creatures, artefacts and objects she has seen, and on places and people she has experienced in Asia, Europe, North America and Africa, as well as on stimulating and memorable books she has read.  
    "She has made use of everyday life situations and turned them into life lessons. Sightings inspires us to slow down and taste the sense of the city."— Ma Kwai Hung, Hong Kong. 
    "The poems in Sightings are witty, poignant, full of memorable images and insights and a total delight." — Professor Ken Pickering 
    "Sightings conveys playfulness and ironic humour. The writer displays, 'a strong ethical sense and a constant and engaging lyricism'." —Marion Bethel, Bahamian poet 
    Bickley has, "a talent for turning the stuff of ordinary life into poetry. She continually surprises and delights by making fresh connections between seemingly disparate situations". — Mrs Margaret Clarke, Oxfordshire. 
    "Gillian Bickley walks around the world with her eyes open, relishing the phenomena she passes".— Harry Guest, Honorary University Fellow, University of Exeter, UK (from his 'Preface' to Sightings).
