Expanding Worldviews: Astrobiology, Big History and Cosmic Perspectives
This book collates papers presented at two international conferences (held at the Australian National University in 2018 and Birkbeck College London in 2019) exploring the relationships between big history and astrobiology and their wider implications for society. These two relatively new academic disciplines aim to integrate human history with the wider history of the universe and the search for life elsewhere. The book will show that, despite differences in emphasis, big history and astrobiology share much in common, especially their interdisciplinary approaches and the cosmic and evolutionary perspectives that they both engender. Specifically, the book addresses the unified, all-embracing...

An Historian's Life
Max Crawford was one of Australia's pre-eminent historians. As both a participant in and observer of many decisive episodes of the era; Europe in the midst of the Depression, America and Russia at the height of World War II, post-war reconstruction and the Cold War in Australia, Crawford was regarded as a radicalandsbquo; and outspoken defender of intellectual autonomy. This biography considers Crawford as an historian and a public intellectual. It relates his experiences as a student at Sydney and Oxford, a struggling teacher during the Depression, as the head of the History School at the University of Melbourne, a diplomat in wartime Russia, and a Cold War victim and accuser. The study of ...

Brownlie's Principles of Public International Law

The Earliest Crawfords
An expanded and revised edition of the story of the earliest members of the ancient Scottish family of Crawford (from about 1150 to 1400). The traditional family legends don't always stand up well when compared to contemporary historical sources, but the old tales are repeated over and over nonetheless. Did Sir Gregan Crawford really save King David I from a charging stag in an act leading to the foundation of Holyrood Abbey? Were the Crawfords of Loudon the original hereditary sheriffs of Ayr? Was the mother of the hero William Wallace a Crawford? Was the Sir Reginald Crawford, who was brutally executed as a "rebel" by the English in 1307, the same man who joined the English in 1296? Most Crawfords who have already begun to ask such questions might be disappointed by what more reliable sources reveal about such tales. Nevertheless, I invite you to consider what history has to tell us about the earliest members of the Crawford family.
Hector
Hector Crawford – the name remains synonymous with Australian television. The tag line ‘This has been a Crawford Production’ still resonates with generations of Australians who grew up with his cops, the Sullivan family or any of the long line of productions that flowed from his legendary company. His public façade is part of our collective memory but the man behind it, and how his passion and determination changed Australian culture forever is revealed in ‘Hector’. In this compelling account of his life Rozzi Bazzani recounts vividly how, as Crawford’s influence grew, the off screen politics employed by the TV networks and rivals to diminish his company’s power became as exci...
The Earliest Crawfords of Scotland
This is the story of the earliest members of the ancient Scottish family of Crawford, from about 1150 to 1400. The traditional family legends don't always stand up well when compared to contemporary historical sources, but the old tales are repeated over and over nonetheless. Did Sir Gregan Crawford really save King David I from a charging stag? Were the Crawfords of Loudon the original hereditary sheriffs of Ayr? Was the mother of the hero William Wallace's a Crawford? Was Reginald Crawford of Crosbie a Scottish patriot brutally executed by the English? Most Crawfords who have already begun to ask such questions will likely be disappointed by most of the answers to these questions, but I invite you anyway to consider what history has to tell us about this noble family.
Astrobiology
ASTROBIOLOGY This unique book advances the frontier discussion of a wide spectrum of astrobiological issues on scientific advances, space ethics, social impact, religious meaning, and public policy formulation. Astrobiology is an exploding discipline in which not only the natural sciences, but also the social sciences and humanities converge. Astrobiology: Science, Ethics, and Public Policy is a multidisciplinary book that presents different perspectives and points of view by its contributing specialists. Epistemological, moral and political issues arising from astrobiology, convey the complexity of challenges posed by the search for life elsewhere in the universe. We ask: if a convoy of col...
Documenting Ourselves
Since Robert Flaherty's landmark film Nanook of the North (1922) arguments have raged over whether or not film records of people and traditions can ever be "authentic." And yet never before has a single volume combined documentary, ethnographic, and folkloristic filmmaking to explore this controversy. What happens when we turn the camera on ourselves? This question has long plagued documentary filmmakers concerned with issues of reflexivity, subject participation, and self-consciousness. Documenting Ourselves includes interviews with filmmakers Les Blank, Pat Ferrero, Jorge Preloran, Bill Ferris, and others, who discuss the ways their own productions and subjects have influenced them.
