"Prison: Cultural Memory and Dark Tourism discusses decommissioned Australian prisons currently or potentially functioning as tourist attractions. In particular, it addresses a fundamental question: Do the interpretations and presentations of the sites include and fairly represent the personal stories and experiences associated with those prisons? The author argues that the conventional understanding of most of Australia's historical prisons fosters a radical "othering" of inmates, and with it the exclusion, distortion and historical neglect of their narratives."

This sci-fi action book series opens on the protagonist's home planet, posing the central question: who is the main character? Millennia ago, when our planet bore a different name, a pivotal event unfolded. At that time, the continents were not divided; they stood united, much like the people inhabiting them. This civilization boasted an exemplary education system and societal structure, fostering strength in both individuality and unity. Spiritual teachings were integral, with gods walking among humans and giants, alongside the legendary tales of Atlantis. Noteworthy landmarks, such as the great Sphinx and the earliest endeavors in constructing the grand pyramids, are showcased. Deep within the Olympus Mountain on Mars lie secrets that brought an end to hunger, cured any illness, and even gave rise to devils. In the vast expanse of the universe's dark ocean, rare pearls exist, with Mars being a prominent “pearl planet.” Our utopian planet, once known as Pangaea, remained untouched by war – until the cataclysmic event known as the Stone Rain occurred.
