Every Assistance and Protection is the first book presenting an in-depth history of the Australian passport. In charting the development of the passport from its early beginnings to its present form, the book traverses changes in government policy and social history from the early 19th century to the modern era. It shows how the Australian passport evolved from a signifier of British nationality into a badge of membership of one of the most multicultural countries in the world.

Arnie Kotkin has finally gotten his doctorate in science, but his dream of teaching at the college level eludes him when a private prep school in Vermont makes a far better offer. To add to the changes in his life, his parents have announced that they can no longer care for Todd--the child of his late brother--so he and his partner, Barnaby Moss, are tapped for the honor of raising the boy. Northward bound again, the pair stop to look at a house; it will be a wonderful place to raise a child, but it might also be a great place to share with someone else someone who should have left 145 years ago.
The fascinating history of how the antifascist movement of the 1930s created “the left” as we know it today In the middle years of the Great Depression, the antifascist movement became a global political force, powerfully uniting people from across divisions of ideology, geography, race, language, and nationality. Joseph Fronczak shows how socialists, liberals, communists, anarchists, and others achieved a semblance of unity in the fight against fascism. Depression-era antifascists were populist, militant, and internationalist. They understood fascism in global terms, and they were determined to fight it on local terms. In the United States, antifascists fought against fascism on the streets of cities such as Chicago and New York, and they connected their own fights to the ones raging in Germany, Italy, and Spain. As he traces the global trajectory of the antifascist movement, Fronczak argues that its most significant legacy is its creation of “the left” as we know it today: an international conglomeration of people committed to a shared politics of solidarity.
