  "Prices and Production" is a seminal work by Friedrich Hayek, originally published in 1931. In this book, Hayek delves into the Austrian theory of the business cycle, offering a detailed analysis of the role of prices and production in the economic cycle. He critiques the prevailing Keynesian view of the time and argues that fluctuations in the economy are largely caused by distortions in the price system, particularly due to central bank interventions and artificial credit expansion.

  The Urban Experience - Living...

  The city is humanity's most profound expression of collective living—an intricate tapestry of buildings, spaces, interactions, and institutions that shapes not only how we navigate physical environments but fundamentally influences how we learn, connect, work, and find meaning. This comprehensive exploration delves into the multifaceted reality of The Urban Experience, examining how architectural expression, growth patterns, spatial forms, and educational systems converge to create the distinctive character and quality of metropolitan life. From the most intimate scale of building design to the expansive dynamics of regional development, this book illuminates the interconnected dimensions that define how human existence unfolds within urban contexts. 
  The narrative of urban experience transcends descriptive analysis; it encompasses the lived reality of city dwellers navigating environments that simultaneously constrain and liberate, challenge and inspire. By examining the complex interplay between architectural innovation, urban morphology, educational systems, and human perception, this book reveals how cities function as both physical environments and experiential landscapes where collective memory, individual aspiration, and institutional structures intersect. Readers will journey through diverse dimensions of urban life—from the phenomenological impact of architectural space to the evolutionary patterns of urban form and the transformative potential of metropolitan educational systems—discovering how these elements collectively shape opportunities, constraints, and quality of life for billions of urban inhabitants. Through interdisciplinary analysis, theoretical frameworks, and real-world case studies, we provide urban scholars, design professionals, educators, and civic leaders with integrated perspectives on creating cities that not only accommodate human activity but nurture human potential, creativity, learning, and collective well-being.

  Degrees of Risk - Navigating...

  An ethnographic analysis of how insecurity is at the heart of contemporary higher education. 
   
  Institutions of higher education are often described as “ivory towers,” places of privilege where students exist in a “campus bubble,” insulated from the trials of the outside world. These metaphors reveal a widespread belief that college provides young people with stability and keeps insecurity at bay. But for many students, that’s simply not the case. 
   
  Degrees of Risk reveals how insecurity permeates every facet of college life for students at public universities. Sociologist Blake Silver dissects how these institutions play a direct role in perpetuating uncertainty, instability, individualism, and anxiety about the future. Silver examined interviews with more than one hundred students who described the risks that surrounded every decision: which major to choose, whether to take online classes, and how to find funding. He expertly identified the ways the college experience played out differently for students from different backgrounds. For students from financially secure families with knowledge of how college works, all the choices and flexibility of college felt like an adventure or a wealth of opportunities. But for many others, especially low-income, first-generation students, their personal and family circumstances meant that that flexibility felt like murkiness and precarity. In addition, he discovered that students managed insecurity in very different ways, intensifying inequality at the intersections of socioeconomic status, race, gender, and other sociodemographic dimensions. Drawing from these firsthand accounts, Degrees of Risk presents a model for a better university, one that fosters success and confidence for a diverse range of students.

  Witness

  From the best-selling author of Cardinal comes a searing examination of the power imbalance in our legal system - where exposing the truth is never guaranteed and, for victims, justice is often elusive. 
   
  A masterful and deeply troubling expose, Witness is the culmination of five years' research for award-winning investigative journalist Louise Milligan. 
  Throughout her career charting the experiences of people who have the courage to come forward to police and then look to find justice in court, Milligan has watched how witnesses are treated (or, too frequently, mistreated) in the courtroom. They have described to her how they relive the associated trauma, often years later. Then, she saw this first-hand when she became a witness and was cross-examined herself in the trial of the decade, R v George Pell. 
  Never-before-published court transcripts expose widespread systemic flaws. And through a combination of extraordinarily candid interviews with defence counsel, prosecutors and even judges, and the heartbreaking stories of witnesses in a number of high-profile cases, the brutal reality of the system is laid bare. 
  Revealing the devastating effects of an adversarial legal system that can be sexist, callous and too often weighted towards the rich and powerful, Milligan also highlights its failure to protect the wellbeing of the most vulnerable. In detailing these flaws and the ongoing human cost, Witness is a compelling call for change.
