  Sedimentology - The Study of...

  Sedimentology is the branch of geology that focuses on the study of sediments, sedimentary rocks, and the processes that shape Earth’s surface. It plays a crucial role in understanding past environments, reconstructing geological history, and exploring natural resources such as oil, gas, and minerals. By analyzing the formation, transportation, and deposition of sediments, sedimentologists can decipher the evolution of landscapes and predict geological changes. 
  The significance of sedimentology extends beyond academic research. It is essential for industries such as petroleum exploration, environmental management, and civil engineering. Understanding sedimentary processes aids in assessing groundwater reservoirs, predicting landslides, and managing coastal erosion. Additionally, sedimentology provides valuable insights into climate change by examining ancient sedimentary records that preserve evidence of past environmental conditions. 
  The development of sedimentology as a scientific discipline can be traced back to early geological studies in the 18th and 19th centuries. Scientists such as James Hutton and Charles Lyell contributed to the foundational principles of uniformitarianism, which states that the geological processes occurring today are similar to those that shaped Earth’s past. This principle remains central to sedimentological research, allowing geologists to interpret past events by observing present-day processes.

  A long-treasured but forgotten classic of folk healing, with an introduction and commentary by the author of Backwoods Witchcraft and Doctoring the Devil. 
   
   
   
  Ossman & Steel's Guide to Health or Household Instructor (its original title) is a collection of spells, remedies, and charms. The book draws from the old Pennsylvania Dutch and German powwow healing practices that in turn helped shape Appalachian folk healing, conjure, root work, and many folk healing traditions in America. Jake Richards, author of Backwoods Witchcraft and Doctoring the Devil, puts these remedies in context, with practical advice for modern-day "backwoods" healers interested in using them today. 
   
   
   
  The first part contains spells and charms for healing wounds, sties, broken bones, maladies, and illnesses of all sorts. The second part includes other folk remedies using ingredients based on sympathetic reasoning, including sulfuric acid, gunpowder, or other substances for swelling, toothache, headache, and so on. These remedies are presented here for historic interest, to help better understand how folk medicine evolved in America. It is Jake Richards's hope that reintroducing this work will reestablish its position as a useful household helper in the library of every witch or country healer.

  The Big Teal

  Simon Holmes à Court

  ‘We will not achieve net zero in the cafes, dinner parties and wine bars of our inner cities.’ Little infuriated the forgotten people of the twenty-first century—women and younger voters, especially—more than Scott Morrison’s deluge of disparagement on the issues that mattered to them. The May 2022 election marked the great re-engagement of those ignored and patronised for too long on climate, integrity and gender equity.The electoral map has been dramatically redrawn. However, the triumph of the ‘teals’ was not entirely unexpected to those assisting their rise, such as Climate 200 founder Simon Holmes à Court. As Australia entered its lost decade on climate action, he observed that conventional advocacy had become a case of diminishing returns, and that Cathy McGowan’s election as a community independent in 2013 provided a template for direct political engagement. The result was Climate 200, a crowdfunded outfit intended to provide the money and expertise to better match the major parties and turbocharge the grassroots movement emerging in thirty-plus electorates.Despite a relentless and increasingly shrill campaign of vilification aimed at Holmes à Court and the candidates by the Liberals, assisted by their media mates, we saw the election of six new community independent MPs and one senator. It was a victory of facts over fear, priorities over prejudice. It was a blow to the unfit-for-purpose ‘majoritariat’, a rejection of the false binary choice between parties that no longer reflect the hopes and complexity of modern democratic Australia.This is the story of how a team of inspired young tech-heads and older sages used their real and virtual-world experience to help a cluster of communities get the representation they wanted.
