Out of Bounds: Journey of a Migrant
From sixteen to sixty – I have lived through a very note-worthy period in Australia’s history as a newcomer. There were happy times and testing times. There were encounters with genuine and loving people as well as people who were not so fair or endearing. I have encountered prejudice, yes, but Australia is better than any other country I know. As time passes, I can confidently say my children will be judged on their performance and their character, and not their facial features. For this I am grateful. The friendships that came my way; The challenges in seeking a career; The difficulties my wife and I faced as working parents and small business operators – I have happily recorded them...
Beyond Ideology
The congressional agenda, Frances Lee contends, includes many issues about which liberals and conservatives generally agree. Even over these matters, though, Democratic and Republican senators tend to fight with each other. What explains this discord? Beyond Ideology argues that many partisan battles are rooted in competition for power rather than disagreement over the rightful role of government. The first book to systematically distinguish Senate disputes centering on ideological questions from the large proportion of them that do not, this volume foregrounds the role of power struggle in partisan conflict. Presidential leadership, for example, inherently polarizes legislators who can infl...
English: Wonder in a Nutshell
The learning of English – there are a lot of good books on this subject already. So why do I want to write another one? It all started when I was invited to write a weekly blog for Special Broadcasting Service (SBS) – a statutory national broadcaster in Australia, and later provide a talk segment. When I delved into the subject I began to realise the complexity of the task. I could start from the most basic, such as verb, subject, noun... like all the good books do. However, one obstacle facing the learner is that all the basic elements are interrelated, so knowledge in the others is often a prerequisite to probing into any. A child born into his/her native language would experience all ...
Letter from Francis Lee to George Sibley
Description: "The officers of this post are opposed to removing the garrison to site of old Fort Osage. It is too far within the settlements and there might be feuds between the Indians and settlers. If the troops would accompany the traders from that point they would not be required below Council Grove for there they could meet the caravan. This site provides easiest access to the greatest number of Indians. There are some differences here but a court martial is to sit here soon and probably all will be straightened out".
Blue Waltz
Proper Bostonians are talking about the Widow Braxton. They say she wears the gowns of a century past. She invites servants to parties. They say she is mad. Stephen St. James has heard rumors about his new neighbors. Yet no gossip prepares him to meet the widow behind the wall. For she is no wizened old woman--but an exquisite young beauty.
Insecure Majorities
“[A] tour de force. Building upon her argument in Beyond Ideology, she adds an important wrinkle into the current divide between the parties in Congress.” —Perspectives on Politics As Democrats and Republicans continue to vie for political advantage, Congress remains paralyzed by partisan conflict. That the last two decades have seen some of the least productive Congresses in recent history is usually explained by the growing ideological gulf between the parties, but this explanation misses another fundamental factor influencing the dynamic. In contrast to politics through most of the twentieth century, the contemporary Democratic and Republican parties compete for control of Congress ...
Lee of Virginia, 1642-1892
The life of Colonel Lee is traced as well as existing records would allow, with each of his children and grandchildren and succeeding descendants being treated in like manner. As only three of the immigrant's sons have been proven to have left surviving male issue in Virginia, and as the issue of these three sons form three distinct lines of descent, they are treated separately.
