    The many lives and tragic death of Harry Freame, the Anzac hero betrayed by his nation. 
     
    Harry Freame was the first Australian to win the Distinguished Conduct Medal at Gallipoli. Raised as a samurai, he risked his life again and again to scout the beaches and hills of the battlefield, reporting invaluable intelligence back to his officers and relieving stranded soldiers who otherwise would surely have died. Some say he should have got the VC but didn't because he was half-Japanese, a fact he tried hard to conceal. 
     
    After the war, Harry (real name Henry Wykeham Koba Freame) became a soldier settler and champion apple grower. But when Japan emerged as a perceived threat to Australia, Harry was recruited into Australian intelligence to spy on the Japanese community in Sydney. Before Japan's entry into World War II, Australia opened a diplomatic legation in Tokyo, and Harry was sent as a translator - but his real role was a spy. Extraordinarily, his cover was leaked by the Australian press, and the Japanese secret police tried to assassinate him not long after his arrival in Tokyo in 1941. Harry died back in Australia a few weeks later, but his sacrifice has never been acknowledged by Australia. 
     
    Until now. Featuring never-before-seen material, The Bravest Scout at Gallipoli is a fascinating and immersive investigation into a grievous historical wrong.

    Jewish culture and identity are deeply rooted in ancient history, shaped by significant events, traditions, and teachings that continue to influence contemporary Jewish life. From biblical narratives to the Second Temple period, these early foundations laid the groundwork for Jewish beliefs, customs, and communal structures. 
    The impact of biblical narratives is one of the most defining aspects of Jewish history. The Torah, regarded as the cornerstone of Jewish faith and law, provides a historical and spiritual framework that has guided Jewish life for millennia. Stories of the patriarchs, such as Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, emphasize themes of faith, covenant, and resilience. The Exodus story, recounting the Israelites’ liberation from Egypt, remains a central symbol of perseverance and divine intervention, shaping Jewish festivals like Passover and reinforcing the concept of Jewish unity. The laws and ethical teachings in the Torah continue to influence Jewish traditions, values, and social practices. 
    Jewish identity in the ancient world was shaped by interactions with surrounding civilizations. Living in lands governed by powerful empires such as Egypt, Babylon, Persia, and Rome, Jewish communities maintained their distinct religious and cultural practices while also adapting to changing political and social landscapes. The Babylonian Exile in the 6th century BCE was a turning point, as it not only led to the destruction of the First Temple but also forced Jews to develop new ways of preserving their heritage in foreign lands. This period saw the rise of synagogue worship and the emphasis on textual study, both of which remain central to Jewish life today.

    Many people are aware of the injustices Black Americans have suffered over the centuries but feel powerless when it comes to repairing the harm done. 
     
     
     
    The inequality remains even after laws and policies have been corrected. Calculating and implementing financial reparations will require large-scale government action, which can feel out of reach or overwhelming for the average person. Robert Turner provides an accessible guide for individuals and groups wanting to influence significant institutional action while also acting on their own to repair the effects of racial injustice in our communities, churches, and spheres of influence. Dividing into categories of individual, social, institutional, and spiritual repair, Turner offers the longest list of reparations currently published, with more than one hundred actions listeners can begin practicing and advocating for to help balance economic injustice, undo hurtful decisions from decades past, and rally public support for bold and principled legislation.

    Norms and standards make it easier for companies and other organisations to reliably meet high expectations. They thus contribute to our trust in a normality that is characterised by quality, safety and comfort - and is therefore by no means "normal". As necessary and effective as norms and standards are for a society based on the division of labour and complexity, the public awareness of them is low. That is why this non-fiction book provides for the first time an overview of norms and standards systems in Switzerland.
    From a historical and a future-oriented perspective, the book takes up the following questions: Why and how have norms and standards become so important in recent decades? How exactly do they create their economic and social benefits? To what extent can they hinder or promote innovation and transformation - and what potential does this offer for sustainable development?
    Journalists, academics and other experts provide answers based on fundamental articles and case studies from companies and other organisations.
