Armed Groups
Armed Groups is the most comprehensive text to provide a framework for categorizing the key actors that pose a threat to today’s security arena—terrorists, mercenaries, insurgents, militias, and transnational criminal organizations—and analyzing their characteristics to provide a thorough overview. Drawing on case studies, histories, and a rich, yet underexplored theoretical literature, this study presents students with the tools to methodically examine these often overlooked, but key drivers of violence in the international system. Additionally, globalization, the privatization of force, and the return of great power competition have altered the security landscape and enhanced armed...

The Man Who Died Twice
The Man Who Died Twice is the compelling story of Morrison of Peking', who bestrode continents, helped bring down a dynasty and chronicled his times so brilliantly that he not only wrote history but changed it as well. George Ernest Morrison's strong sense of courage and devotion to reporting the truth led him, at only 20, to expose the Australian Kanaka slave trade. He then walked, alone and unaided, from the Gulf of Carpentaria to Melbourne only 21 years after explorers Burke and Wills had perished in the same endeavour. And in attempting the first crossing of New Guinea, he was almost killed in an ambush which left two spear tips embedded in his body. However, it was Morrison's work as a ...

Time Capsule
A young man called Adam Flint arrives in America after receiving a letter from a great aunt, leaving him a ranch house and lands after her death. Adam had taken these steps after the loss of his wife to a hit and run driver and his subsequent lapse into a drunken frenzy of drink rather than face the loss and hurt of his wife's death. His worries are about to reach a pace where he wishes at times that he could still reach for the demon drink. He finds that the lands belong to the Indian nation and not him and that a water company wants to build a reservoir in a far valley. They are determined to get their hands on this land by fair means of foul. The land won't be sold to them because the ancient Indian burial ground would be under water and a document signed by Abraham Lincoln would prevent that in the courts if it can be found. Without the document, the courts will hand the land to the water company and thugs hired by them intend that it will not be found.
Ape Seed
The Second World War should have been dead and buried, but trouble always comes from those allowed to escape. The Waffen SS is alive and kicking, having remained underground for decades, hidden by sympathisers in South America. A new breed of soldier begins to make itself felt, assassinations become every day occurrences in certain parts of the world, then strange things begin to happen, yet the main powers still slumber in the sure knowledge that they are supreme. Realisation comes too late for some, but not for one or two men who will not easily be deterred.
Wisdom
Wisdom is a collection of twelve interviews with well-known Australians who, in conversation with Radio National's Peter Thompson, reflect on their life's journeys and the struggles and challenges that have made them wiser people.
The Self-Sustaining Garden
This book explores the theme that the plants themselves can do much of the hard work gardeners believe is an essential part of gardening. The Self-Sustaining Garden advocates using plants as partners in self-sustaining communities to create low maintenance gardens rather than being a slave to spades and hoes. In a series of compelling case studies, Peter Thompson shows how to transform a conventional garden into a self-sustaining garden. Updated from the original edition (published in 1997), The Self-Sustaining Garden brings together an explanation of the universal principles of matrix planting with specific applications and informative chapters on soil health and biological controls, and shows how to pull all the ingredients together into a strong, self-sustaining design.
Biography Of Peter Cook
There are those who say - and Peter Cook himself was among them - that most of his humour was autobiographical. Others - and Peter Cook himself was among them -contend that this simply isn't the case. The truth, of course, lies somewhere in the middle. Peter Cook made President Kennedy wait in line to see him and visited Elizabeth Taylor in her dressing room. He befriended tramps and fundraised for CND. He was capable of extraordinary kindnesses and occasional cruelties. He helped define comedy and satire for a generation, but ended his life a recluse. Harry Thompson has produced the first ever comprehensive biography of this influential and fascinating subject who came up with some of the funniest sketches and greatest jokes of all time.
