Sinossi

Tasmania Extinction explores the tragic, intertwined fates of the Tasmanian Tiger (Thylacine) and the indigenous Palawa people, arguing that their demise stemmed from the same roots of colonial violence and ecological destruction. The book uncovers unsettling parallels in how both the Thylacine and the Palawa were perceived as impediments to colonial progress, leading to systematic persecution. For instance, a bounty system encouraged the killing of Thylacines, while the "Black War" aimed to eliminate the Palawa, revealing a shared ideology of domination.

 
Beginning with an introduction to the unique characteristics of the Thylacine and Palawa society, the book then develops a historical narrative, examining the policies and practices that led to the Thylacine's extermination and the near-eradication of the Palawa people, including forced relocations and reserves. It draws upon historical archives, government records, and oral histories to construct a multi-faceted account.

 
The book's value lies in its parallel analysis, revealing the underlying ideologies that fueled both tragedies and offering insights into contemporary environmental issues, reconciliation, and indigenous rights. This examination offers a crucial understanding of colonial dynamics and their lasting effects on both the environment and indigenous communities. By connecting ecological and social injustices, Tasmania Extinction challenges conventional narratives and highlights the urgent need for conservation and ethical engagement, providing practical considerations for a more sustainable and just future.

Peach Street to Lobster Lane:...

Felicity Cloake

'A glorious freewheel through the culinary quirks and delights of the USA – an unmissable treat!' – Tim Spector 
When the nation’s ‘taster-in-chief’ Felicity Cloake announced her dream to cycle across America, the reactions were… mixed: “You’ll get squashed,” warned a Californian colleague. “You’ll be murdered,” added her mum. Friends panicked: “But… what will you eat?” 
Determined to prove there’s more to American food than the cartoonish glamour of burgers and doughnuts (though she tries those too), Felicity embarks on the ultimate coast-to-coast adventure, tackling highways, byways and pieways by bike in an unforgettable election year. While the news cycle spins with outrage, what she discovers on the ground is far richer: a wildly varied place of warm hospitality, local pride and unforgettable flavours — from crawfish stew to sauerkraut balls, Memphis barbecue to Mission burritos, Italian beef to Tex-Mex gyoza, she dives into iconic dishes and the stories behind them. 
Drawn to the scale, energy and contrasts of a country as complex as its cuisine, Felicity takes us along for the ride — mile by mile, meal by meal — finding a nation that’s welcoming, generous and full of heart where it counts: around the table. 
Felicity Cloake, in her latest non-fiction masterpiece, PEACH STREET TO LOBSTER LANE, takes us on a culinary journey across America, exploring regional cuisines and cultural narratives through her unique lens. Her travelogues, filled with the best of American cooking, are a testament to her adventurous spirit and love for recreation. 
For fans of Stanley Tucci (What I Ate in One Year), Peter Mayle (My Twenty-Five Years in Provence), Nigella Lawson (Cook, Eat, Repeat), Max Halley (Max's Sandwich Book), and Janine Marsh (My Four Seasons in France).

Dog Training and Behaviour...

Various Authors

A collection of articles, based on modern science, using force free and fear free methods
Solutions to common issues from pre-puppy to adulthood

The book is a compilation of articles written by these professionals on various aspects of puppy and dog ownership, care, training, and managing and treating behavior problems. As such, you do not need to read the book cover to cover, but the articles are compiled in such a way that it will take you through in a sensible order if that’s what you wish to do. Alternatively, you can skip to whichever issue you wish to look up and read articles about it. If previous knowledge of a preceding article is required, it is usually mentioned in the article you’re reading.

A Collaboration of Force-Free Professionals
It is good to see some articles referring back to others written by a different author, proving that this is indeed a collaboration between like-minded professionals and the advice isn’t coming from a singular source.
All of the writers do well at maintaining an overall ‘tone’ but of course, they write as individuals so you do get different voices. You may find you prefer some to others.

Despite a generally professional voice, the tone is friendly, and at (appropriate) times, humorous. From a grammar perspective, it is well written, so easy to read.

Something for Everyone
Some of the articles are brief and provide a quick and easy read; others are more lengthy, but the formatting and editing breaks them up well with subheadings making the text much easier to take in.
The advice is well presented without complex jargon and easy for anyone to take in, from people brand new to dog training to seasoned professionals looking for another way of presenting their information or an alternative method. Easy to understand anecdotes and comparisons help people to understand their dogs’ perceptions of situations.

Discovering the Spiritual Wisdom...

Leah Rampy, Beth Norcross

Trees have much to offer as soul friends, and their millennia of growth and loss provide deep wisdom, if we know how to pay attention. The Spiritual Wisdom of Trees encourages us to revel in the beauty and wonder of trees as they increase our capacity to bear witness to loss and grief. Integrating science and spirituality, coauthors Beth Norcross and Leah Rampy explore the knowledge held within the living world of trees and planted within each of us. 
 
 
 
Drawing on extensive experience in both forest ecology and spirituality, Norcross and Rampy invite us into a deep mutual relationship with trees, whose wisdom provides comfort, resilience, guidance, and hope. Living amid the uncertainty of climate chaos and biodiversity loss, we experience loneliness, anxiety, grief, and fear. Such times call us to a fuller spiritual presence, richer connections to the world around us, and a deeper knowing that all are held within a sacred web of life. 
 
 
 
Pulling from the Center for Spirituality in Nature organization's coursework, Norcross and Rampy offer us guidance and practices based on their experiences leading walks, retreats, and pilgrimages for over two decades. When we learn the ecology of the forest and how to be present in nature, our eyes are opened to the awe and wonder of our world, deepening our sense of sacred oneness.
