Tales from Boomtown
Reveals first-hand the issues linked with changes to the social fabric of Australia; the jailing of two Premiers and a deputy Premier; the ruthless removal of a Premier mid-term; the election of the nation's first female Premier, and the sensational 'WA Inc' Royal Commission. Many interviews were conducted, including those of key national figures to make this account of how the boom-bust West was led into its status as an economic powerhous of the twenty first century.
Towards a Conceptual Militancy
Towards a Conceptual Militancy is aimed at the interested art-viewing public, artists, the politically disillusioned, and readers of both European Philosophy, particularly of Speculative Realism/OOP, and Accelerationism. This book calls on the artist to mount a defence of subjective freedom in opposition to the twin objectifying factors of Science and Capital, personified by growing surveillance technology. Presenting the artistic declaration of freedom as exemplary of how the subject might circumvent its objectification, Towards a Conceptual Militancy brings art back into the social sphere following decades of cultural commodification.
The Privileged Few
Male and white privilege are on the decline, yet elite privilege has gone from strength to strength. The privileges enjoyed by the rich and powerful are not only unfair but cause widespread harm, from the everyday slights and humiliations visited on those lower down the scale to the distortions in the labour market when elites use their networks to secure plum jobs, not least in new domains such as professional sports. In this book, Clive Hamilton and Myra Hamilton show that elite privilege is not a mere by-product of wealth but an organising principle for society as a whole. They explore the practices and processes that sustain, legitimise and reproduce elite privilege and show how we are a...
O BRAVE ‘NEW NORMAL’ WORLD: Living with Coronavirus
He’s back stronger than ever! But have we conveniently forgotten the furore around the presidential election results and the Capitol riots? Refresh your memory in this book. He may have been resurrected, but many other leaders fell by the wayside during the cataclysmic post-pandemic aftermath. In Britain leadership became a merry-go-round of comings and goings. Elsewhere, Australia, New Zealand, Brazil and Germany all changed leaders for one reason or another. But Putin, Lukashenko and Xi are still with us - for better or for worse. We should learn from our past, but it seems we don’t. Trump aside, the Middle East conflict has flared up worse than before, and many of the other global conflicts and tensions that are highlighted in this volume are still with us unresolved. All the posturing and platitudes that emanated from the anger surrounding George Floyd’s murder proved as useful to addressing the real issues as someone offering ‘an unreserved apology.’ Meanwhile, the rich get richer and the poor poorer.
Irish Canadian Conflict and the Struggle for Irish Independence, 1912-1925
Between 1912 and 1925, Ireland convulsed with political and revolutionary upheaval in pursuit of self-government. Canadians of Irish descent, both Catholic and Protestant, diligently followed these conflicts, and many became actively involved in the dramatic events overseas. Irish Canadian Conflict and the Struggle for Irish Independence tells the unique story of how Irish Canadians identified with their ancestral homeland during this revolutionary era. Drawing on ethnic weekly newspapers and fraternal society records, Robert McLaughlin finds new interpretations of how Orange Canadian unionists and Irish Canadian nationalists viewed their heritage, their membership in the British Empire, and even Canadian citizenship itself. McLaughlin also provides strong evidence that neither time nor distance diminished Irish Canadians' attachment to their familial homeland or their identification with their respective ethnic communities in Ireland. Irish Canadian Conflict and the Struggle for Irish Independence reconsiders existing contextual frameworks and confronts the challenging questions inherent in understanding this period.
Marine Wildlife and Tourism Management
This book seeks to underscore the need for scientific approaches to first understanding and then managing tourist interactions with marine wildlife. It draws upon the work of leading natural and social scientists whose work serves the interests of sustainable wildlife-based marine tourism. Thus from within the natural science disciplines of marine biology, environmental science, behavioural ecology, conservation biology, and wildlife management come chapters that provide insights into the effects of human disturbance on marine wildlife, the impacts that tourists may have upon wild animals, and the management approaches to mitigating impacts that may in the long term be biologically significant. Equally from the social science disciplines of geography, sociology, management and social anthropology are drawn chapters that explore demand for marine wildlife experiences, the benefits that visitors derive from their experiences, ethical and legislative contexts, and management issues that arise when tourists interact with populations of wild animals in coastal and marine environments.
