Download or read book Wasp Season written by Jennifer Scoullar and published by Pilyara Press. This book was released on 2020-07-20 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You’ll never see a wasp in the same way again ... When Beth’s marriage ends, she’s determined to build a new life in the country for herself and her children. A quiet life lived closer to nature. She thinks she’s achieved the impossible – a civilised separation, a happy home and a cordial relationship with her estranged husband, Mark. There's even the promise of a new love. But when Mark tries to change the rules, Beth’s peaceful world is turned upside down. Disturbingly, she also discovers that European wasps have invaded her garden. Beth’s obsession with them and their queen holds up a distorted mirror to the human drama. As the chaos in Beth’s life gathers momentum, connections between the two worlds come sharply into focus. The lives of Beth and the others are neither separate to, nor safe from, the natural world. AUTHOR’S NOTE In this series of Wild Australia Stories I tell tales of the people, wildlife and land that I love. But there is more to wild Australia than brumbies, dingoes, dolphins and the magnificent outback. As a passionate conservationist and naturalist, I’m interested in all aspects of nature. One thing I’ve learned is that it’s not always about the big things. Little creatures have a surprising impact on our lives. If you’re squeamish about insects, look away now. If you’re fascinated by the Australian bush and the way all creatures great and small are connected, then Beth’s story is for you. - Praise for Wasp Season – -There is an ironic twist to this tale, a violent and sudden twist that will leave the reader gasping. Wasp Season is a fascinating study of nature and humans.– Wendy O’Hanlon, Acres Australia - ‘A thrilling story that describes both human and insect life in detail as they become intertwined ... an unforgettable, unputdownable trip into a garden that, on the surface, seems like a quiet refuge.’ - John Morrow, World of Books and Music - ‘Scoullar, it turns out, is a writer of documentary calibre.’ Australian Literary Review
Download or read book Teaching Proper Drinking written by Maggie Brady and published by ANU Press. This book was released on 2017-12-12 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Teaching ‘Proper’ Drinking?, the author brings together three fields of scholarship: socio-historical studies of alcohol, Australian Indigenous policy history and social enterprise studies. The case studies in the book offer the first detailed surveys of efforts to teach responsible drinking practices to Aboriginal people by installing canteens in remote communities, and of the purchase of public hotels by Indigenous groups in attempts both to control sales of alcohol and to create social enterprises by redistributing profits for the community good. Ethnographies of the hotels are examined through the analytical lens of the Swedish ‘Gothenburg’ system of municipal hotel ownership. The research reveals that the community governance of such social enterprises is not purely a matter of good administration or compliance with the relevant liquor legislation. Their administration is imbued with the additional challenges posed by political contestation, both within and beyond the communities concerned. ‘The idea that community or government ownership and management of a hotel or other drinking place would be a good way to control drinking and limit harm has been commonplace in many Anglophone and Nordic countries, but has been less recognised in Australia. Maggie Brady’s book brings together the hidden history of such ideas and initiatives in Australia … In an original and wide-ranging set of case studies, Brady shows that success in reducing harm has varied between communities, largely depending on whether motivations to raise revenue or to reduce harm are in control.’ — Professor Robin Room, Director, Centre for Alcohol Policy Research, La Trobe University

Paul Freeman has established himself at the pinnacle of his craft, not only as a photographer, but as a visual poet and artist eulogizing as he captures the spirit of the rugged yet sensitive Australian male in all his physical glory.

Download or read book Made to Matter written by Fiona Probyn-Rapsey and published by Sydney University Press. This book was released on 2013 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most members of the Stolen Generations had white fathers or grandfathers. Who were these white men? This book analyses the stories of white fathers, men who were positioned as key players in the plans to assimilate Aboriginal people by 'breeding out the colour'. The plan to 'breed out the colour' ascribed enormous power to white sperm and white paternity; to 'elevate', 'uplift' and disperse Aboriginality in whiteness, to blank out, to aid cultural forgetting. The policy was a cruel failure, not least because it conflated skin colour with culture and assumed that Aboriginal women and their children would acquiesce to produce 'future whites'. It also assumed that white men would comply as ready appendages, administering 'whiteness' through marriage or white sperm. This book attempts to put textual flesh on the bodies of these white fathers, and in doing so, builds on and complicates the view of white fathers in this history, and the histories of whiteness to which they are biopolitically related.
Download or read book Heroics II written by Paul Freeman and published by . This book was released on 2013-06-01 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A collection of fine art nude photographic portraits of men captured in the classical tradition of the heroic and mythical, in the grandiose and dramatic poses of the post-renaissance tradition, shot in both contemporary, post-modernist and neo classic or painterly environments, with over 180 photographs in both colour and warm toned black and white. This collection complements and evolves the theme developed in the first 'Heroics' book published in 2011, and has been influenced by and references the male in sculpture and painting in Western European art from the Renaissance onwards. The book plays with contemporary societal attitudes to the naked male in public and art by juxtaposing our collective artistic consciousness and heritage with the reality of the contemporary naked male physique.
