Book excerpt: Making it in a man’s world… When Hannah Barrington took on the job of safety manager at her father’s mine, she expected it to be challenging. Not only because of the high-pressure environment where safety is always paramount, but because she’s working in a traditionally male dominated world and there are plenty of men who have made it clear they don’t want her there. But Hannah is known for her pluck, and she’s determined to make her mark. She also refuses to be intimidated by anyone. That includes Liam Hennessy. An investigator with the New South Wales Resources Regulator, Liam Hennessy is responsible for investigating safety breaches at Hannah’s mine. Having recently been transferred to the Hunter Valley, this is the first time he’s ventured onto a Barrington family-owned mine site. Liam has long-held grievances against the Barrington family that go all the way back to high school. Now he has a chance for revenge, and he has Hannah very firmly in his sights. Unaware of the reason behind Liam’s antagonism, Hannah’s left confused and angry over Liam’s unbending attitude. He seems determined to make an example of the Barringtons and close their mine. Not only will that cost millions in lost production, but it will also reflect badly on her and one thing she can’t stand is failure. She wished she could simply win the investigator over with her charm, but he seems immune to her attempts. Too bad she finds him so darned attractive. What will it take for him to call a truce and work with her, rather than do his best to ruin everything she’s worked so hard for?

Download or read book Confessions of a Recovering Environmentalist and Other Essays written by Paul Kingsnorth and published by Graywolf Press. This book was released on 2017-08-01 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A provocative and urgent essay collection that asks how we can live with hope in “an age of ecocide” Paul Kingsnorth was once an activist—an ardent environmentalist. He fought against rampant development and the depredations of a corporate world that seemed hell-bent on ignoring a looming climate crisis in its relentless pursuit of profit. But as the environmental movement began to focus on “sustainability” rather than the defense of wild places for their own sake and as global conditions worsened, he grew disenchanted with the movement that he once embraced. He gave up what he saw as the false hope that residents of the First World would ever make the kind of sacrifices that might avert the severe consequences of climate change. Full of grief and fury as well as passionate, lyrical evocations of nature and the wild, Confessions of a Recovering Environmentalist gathers the wave-making essays that have charted the change in Kingsnorth’s thinking. In them he articulates a new vision that he calls “dark ecology,” which stands firmly in opposition to the belief that technology can save us, and he argues for a renewed balance between the human and nonhuman worlds. This iconoclastic, fearless, and ultimately hopeful book, which includes the much-discussed “Uncivilization” manifesto, asks hard questions about how we’ve lived and how we should live.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jake Alexander has it all. Young, single and good-looking, he’s living the high life as a successful doctor running a Sydney Harbour Hospital medical practice with Shane Kirkbride and Kevin Johnson, his two best friends from college. But then, Shane is found murdered in the back room of the clinic and the police are insistent the murder was an inside job. It’s ludicrous to think that Jake or Kevin might be responsible, but the police have the two of them in their sights. Kevin is let off the hook when he produces an alibi – he was out to dinner with his girlfriend and there are plenty of witnesses to back him up. Jake isn’t so lucky. He has no one who can come forward and vouch for his whereabouts. The police turn up the heat. Jake isn’t surprised to discover Katrina West is Kevin’s alibi. As Kevin’s long term girlfriend, the pair are as good as joined at the hip. It pains Jake to admit it, but the two of them make a great couple and will no doubt one day marry. The thought depresses the hell out of him, but there’s nothing he can do. His only hope is to get over his feelings for Kat and find a woman as perfect as she. But as the police investigation becomes more pointed, Jake is flat out just trying to survive. Why won’t they believe his protestations of innocence? Why is he the only one who believes they’re wasting their time? Meanwhile, the person who did it might very well get away with murder…
