Sinopse

Aboriginal Land explores the long and complex struggle of Aboriginal Australians to regain their land rights, a battle deeply entwined with the nation's history and legal systems. It is a story of dispossession, resilience, and the enduring spiritual connection between Aboriginal people and their ancestral lands, examining how this connection influences identity, culture, and social structures.

 
The book highlights pivotal moments such as the Mabo decision, which overturned the concept of terra nullius, the idea that Australia was unoccupied before European settlement, and the subsequent Native Title Act.

 
The book journeys through the history of land dispossession, analyzing key legal cases and legislation and delving into the cultural significance of land from an Indigenous perspective. Understanding the Aboriginal perspective is crucial, as land is not merely property; it is a source of life, knowledge, and cultural continuity.

 
The book progresses by first examining the historical context, then scrutinizing legal frameworks, and finally exploring the cultural and spiritual significance of land, offering a balanced analysis of the Aboriginal land rights movement and its ongoing challenges.

The Sixth History of Man

MD John Bershof

In the spirit of medieval writer Chaucer, all human activity lies within the artist’s scope, the History of Man Series uses medicine as a jumping off point to explore precisely that, all history, all science, all human activity since the beginning of time. The jumping off style of writing takes the reader, the listener into worlds unknown, always returning to base, only to jump off again. History of Man are stories and tales of nearly everything.
The Sixth History of Man is the last narrative in the History of Man Series that uses infection as the underlying foundation. The series will continue but use other disease platforms for jumping off. From a human infection perspective, this sixth book will visit with the King of Pop Michael Jackson, vitiligo and propofol, the famous and infamous sexually transmitted diseases—herpes, gonorrhea, chlamydia, trichomonas, HIV and the granddaddy of colorful stories, syphilis—with their very entertaining tales, a world of romance, suspense, and thrillers. We’ll hop from science to art to music, going back in time to the astronomy of the Persians, Syrians, the Greek Aristotle and on to Ptolemy, Copernicus and Kepler. Our travels will take us to the Renaissance of art and music, stopping along a few stations, such as da Vinci, Michelangelo, Rembrandt, and Monet. A discussion of why and how humans went from spoken language to written language is on our menu. We will pay homage with another visit with the First Viennese School, parse senility, delirium, and dementia and most assuredly discuss the women who helped build Johns Hopkins Hospital. OK Boomers! and the sociology of cohort generations will help complete this narrative.

Sunk Cost - Who's to Blame for...

Jillian Berman

Student-loan horror stories are a dime a dozen. But students today are faced with a seemingly insurmountable paradox: Research consistently shows that the clearest viable option to financial stability is a college degree. But if and when Americans decide to pursue diplomas, student loan payments quickly follow, and even after securing full-time employment, many borrowers struggle to make ends meet for years. In Sunk Cost, journalist Jillian Berman explores how the nation's student loan program went from a well-intentioned initiative aimed at helping low- and middle-income students afford college to one that traps borrowers in long-term debt. 
 
 
  
Berman interviewed dozens of borrowers and policymakers and dug into the archives to unearth the true causes of the student loan problem. A couple of generations ago, policy makers generously subsidized Americans' college educations because they knew it would be advantageous for the entire country: a more educated population meant better quality of life for all. But today, higher education is viewed as an individual goal, so students and their families are expected to be on the hook for it themselves. Berman explains how this enormous shift happened, which industries benefit from it, and what it means for college-going Americans today.
