Threatened
Threatened sets out the types of extremism the world has seen in recent times and the alarm that has been raised about what might happen in the future. Case studies from Australia and around the world illustrate the level of extremism that is prevalent-from antisemitism to terrorism with actions taken by authorities in Australia and around the world are highlighted. In this book, questions are answered about how citizens can identify extremism, radicalisation and subversive behaviour and what to do about it.
Divine Indwelling
Written to commemorate the 750th anniversary of St. Bonaventure's death in 1274, Divine Indwelling is the fourth of Douglas Dales' comprehensive studies of the theology of St. Bonaventure. Deification, the belief that God can be directly known through Jesus Christ by the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, is becoming increasingly important in current theological thought, and unites Eastern and Western Christianity. This book explores deification in Bonaventure's distinctive teaching, and through close study of his various writings, reveals that deification is an important and uniting theme within his thought. As with the preceding books, Divine Indwelling acts as a bridge into the thought of Bonaventure, whilst addressing the spiritual needs of the modern Church. Beginning with the New Testament texts that support belief in the divine promise of deification, Douglas Dales reveals Bonaventure's deep belief that deification is an immediate spiritual reality and the vocation for any Christian.

To the Edge of the World: A Perilous Storm, A Mutinous Crew and the Woman Who Defied Them All
One woman. One ship. One astonishing true story.
Summer 1856.
Nineteen-year-old Mary Ann Patten and her husband, Joshua, are young and ambitious. Both from New England seafaring families, they have already completed their first voyage around the world with Joshua as captain. Their dream of building a home and a family is almost within reach, but the price is one last dangerous transit - a race to deliver supplies to the other side of the country. And there is no alternative but to sail all the way around. Yet as their ship leaves New York, navigating towards the jagged coastline of South America, Joshua falls ill, confined to his bunk and delirious. The treacherous first mate is imprisoned in the brig for insubordination, and with no obvious option for a new captain, Mary Ann steps into the breach. Within days she has put down a mutiny and must now attempt to steer this 216' clipper ship laden with the modern equivalent of $11 million of cargo through Drake's Passage and around Cape Horn - the most treacherous waters in the world. To the Edge of the World is the true story of one woman who, when faced with impossible odds, would do all that was necessary to survive.
Játékgyűjtemény - a gyermekek érzelmi és társas fejlődéséhez
Az óvodapedagógusoknak és tanítóknak készült gyűjteményben olyan csoportos játékok találhatók, amelyekkel megkönnyíthetik a gyerekek számára a különféle érzelmek felismerését, megnevezését és kifejezését, valamint hozzájárulhatnak a harmonikus személyiségfejlődés és társas kapcsolódás alakításához.
A sokéves pedagógiai és pszichológiai tapasztalatokon és a gyerekek reakcióinak megfigyelésén alapuló játékos feladatok igazodnak a gyerekek életkori sajátosságaihoz, és egyaránt alkalmazhatók otthon, valamint az óvodában, iskolában is. Az érzelmekről szóló beszélgetések ,,mellékhatásai" - az együtt nevetés, a másik elfogadása, meghallgatása, megértése - szintén erősíthetők a kötetben található gyakorlatokkal. A gyerekek játékos formában tanulhatják meg, hogy milyen érzelmek léteznek, hogyan lehet ezeket az arckifejezések alapján azonosítani, megnevezni. A különböző szituációs játékokban személyes történetek is előkerülhetnek, ezek révén a gyerekek gyakorolhatják, hogy a másik szemével is ránézzenek egy-egy helyzetre, elfogadják a másik érzelmeit, érzéseit. A feladatok szem előtt tartják a differenciálást, és tippeket adnak arra is, hogyan tudjuk a gátlásos vagy kevesebbet beszélő gyerekeket is bevonni a közös tevékenységbe anélkül, hogy rosszul éreznék magukat. A szerzők az egyes játékoknál leírják, hogyan alkalmazhatók otthoni környezetben, testvérekkel akár, vagy kétszemélyes, szülő-gyerek helyzetben.
Az egyes játékok alkalmasak a szókincsbővítésre, a szövegértés, a kommunikáció, a mozgáskordináció, a kooperáció fejlesztésére; iskolai környezetben kapcsolódnak például a magyar nyelv és irodalom, ének-zene és az etikaórához is, valamint a tanórán kívüli szabadidős tevékenységekhez. A játékokhoz tartozó kellékek egy része (szituációs kártyák, érzelemkártyák) megtalálható a kötet mellékletében, de az otthon található plüssállatok, kesztyűbábok is bevonhatók.
Everybody Loves Our Dollars
From the bestselling author of Butler to the World, Drugs for Gucci reveals how organised criminals move vast amounts of dirty money around the globe, how they escape the eyes of law enforcement and how they turn their ill-gotten income into vast amounts of legitimately recognised wealth.
Without the existence of money laundering, few crimes of acquisition would be worth the effort required to commit them. But despite decades of effort expended on stamping it out, money laundering is more ubiquitous than ever, with organised criminals coming up with ever more innovative and efficient ways to clean their cash. With forensic precision, Oliver Bullough pulls back the curtain on this shadow financial system and joins together the dots of a sophisticated international operation that connects illegal logging in Papua New Guinea, real estate purchases in Vancouver, terrorism in the Middle East and capital flight from China.
Drawing on complex court records and first-hand accounts from convicted money launderers, prosecutors and serious fraud officers, Bullough reveals that there may, in fact, be a way to stop crime from paying - if only we are prepared to enter the tunnel at the heart of the global economy and see where it leads . . .

The Crown’s Silence
A ground-breaking and essential work of history – the first of its kind to closely examine the British Royal Family’s connection with the transatlantic slave trade The Crown's Silence is the untold story of the British royal family’s relationship to slavery from the reign of Elizabeth I to the present. It will be the first history of the British monarchy told through the lens of its intimate, centuries-long relationship with African slave trading, slavery, and racial injustice. A work of ground-breaking original research and narrative synthesis, it exposes the ways in which the British monarchy invested in, expanded, and defended the transatlantic slave trade for nearly three centuries and how it continues to profit from systems of racial exploitation to this day – while remaining silent in the face of that legacy. It will reveal how the Crown effectively ruptured and reshaped Britain’s national narrative and collective memory of its own colonial past as well as the consequences of that deafening silence. As former British colonies in the Caribbean consider severing their ties with the Crown (and the British royal family sends emissaries to try to keep them), The Crown's Silence tells a history that is very much in the headlines – and will no doubt continue to be. It will be the next chapter in revealing the lost histories of not only Britain and the United States, but of our world.

The Life You Want
From acclaimed psychoanalyst Adam Phillips, a meditation on how to achieve the lives we want Where do we get ideas about the lives we want? And, what do we do – and fail to do – about actually getting them?In The Life You Want Adam Phillips uses psychoanalytic and literary approaches to show that we are obsessed by the idea of our lives being ones we want and enjoy rather than merely endure, tolerate or make the most of.Through a series of interlinked essays, Phillips explores the difficulties we have around the whole idea of enjoying – and fashioning – our lives in cultures that insistently promote enjoyment while making it very difficult for so many people. Exploring the personal and political overlap in the issue of our lives, The Life You Want is a profound examination of our ambivalence about enjoyment, and indeed, wanting.''One of the finest prose stylists in the language, an Emerson of our time'' John Banville
Good Kids
If you grew up as a Good Kid, you probably heard these words a lot. And you were good. Quiet. Easy. Responsible. So disciplined, you basically raised yourself. You're the one everyone counts on - and you wear it like a good star. But nobody ever checks on you. And you're exhausted from proving your goodness by being an overachieving, people pleasing, perfectionist, pushover, and shape-shifting chameleon. Good Kids is about the invisible trauma and cost of always being "good" - a lifetime of bottling your emotions, performing calm while constantly scanning everyone around you for the slightest sign of upset or disappointment and the crushing fear of being "a burden." Oh, and always worrying that you're in trouble. Maggie Nick was a Good Kid too - the one who "never caused trouble" and always made sure everyone else was okay (even when she wasn't). Now a trauma therapist, parenting expert, and cycle breaking mom, she's here to help you heal from the fallout of being easy to raise and show you how to support the good kids in your life through those same messy, human moments you weren't allowed to have. This book answers the questions you've been asking yourself for years, like:Why do I feel crushing guilt when I say n? hy do I replay conversations for days, convinced I did something wron? hy do I feel like I'm "too much" and "not enough"?With raw honesty, deep compassion and grounded research, Good Kids gives you the clarity and validation you've been searching for your whole life and the handbook for how to heal and break the good kid cycle for your children.
Land Power
'A must-read' THOMAS PIKETTY'Captivating' DARON ACEMOGLU'Fascinating' FRANCIS FUKUYAMAAn award-winning political scientist shows that a society's path to prosperity, sustainability, and equality depends on who owns the land. For millennia, land has been a symbol of wealth and privilege. But the true power of land ownership is even greater than we might think. In Land Power, political scientist Michael Albertus shows that who owns the land determines whether a society will be equal or unequal, whether it will develop or decline, and whether it will safeguard or sacrifice its environment. Modern history has been defined by land reallocation on a massive scale. From the 1500s on, European colonial powers and new nation-states shifted indigenous lands into the hands of settlers. The 1900s brought new waves of land appropriation, from Soviet and Maoist collectivization to initiatives turning large estates over to family farmers. With the establishment of cooperatives in North Africa, the displacement of Native Americans and divisive inheritance laws of post-partition India, land decisions reverberate to this day as governments vie for power and prosperity by choosing who should get land. Drawing on a career's worth of original research and on-the-ground fieldwork, Albertus shows that choices about who owns the land have locked in poverty, sexism, racism, and climate crisis-and that what we do with the land today can change our collective fate. Global in scope, Land Power argues that saving civilization must begin with the earth under our feet.
Living in Wonder
In 2018, at the end of a speech Rod Dreher gave in Genoa, an artist gave him an engraving by his own hand. In broken English, the artist explained that he was in his studio that afternoon when the Holy Spirit told him that he should come hear Rod Dreher, and give him a particular drawing of an obscure medieval saint. None of this made sense to Dreher until two years later, lost in depression and confusion, the saint - a Tuscan hermit named Galgano - appeared in Dreher's life again under circumstances that did not at all seem coincidental, sending Dreher on a search for God's will for his life. A lifetime of experiencing mystical events and collecting stories from others has solidified Dreher's Christian faith, and convinced him that God reveals himself to us all the time - but we in the modern West have lost our capacity to sense God's presence. How did this happen to us, but not to other peoples in the world? Can it be reversed? If so, ho? IVING IN WONDER tells the story of how the West became "disenchanted", and gives practical advice - based on history, cultural anthropology, and neuroscience, as well as the testimonies of monks of the ancient Church - on how to regain one's sense of wonder and awareness of the divine. Told through real-life stories of people who experienced miracles, visitations by saints and angels, and in some cases wrestled with demons, this book will open your mind to the reality that the material world is not all there is, and that God is not as silent and as elusive as you might think. You just need to learn how to see with clear eyes. Join Rod Dreher as he explores why 'contemporary' Christianity seems so empty, and why so many young people are walking away from it. He argues that the enchanted sacramental vision of the church of the first millennium is still true, only hidden, and that the experience of God is something that can happen to anyone - if they are willing to take the risk.
The Grammar of Angels
''Ingenious… a glorious portrait of the great 15th-century prince of learning'' Daily Telegraph''A deeply fascinating, sui generis book by a brilliant scholar-writer, which uses the life story of a Renaissance prodigy to summon an angel-host of ideas, people and stories, all circling the question of language''s ability to transcend the mortal realm'' Robert Macfarlane, bestselling author of Underland________________________________Does there exist a form of speech so powerful as to allow the speaker to control the listener, taking over their thoughts and even their will? Renaissance prodigy and polymath Giovanni Pico della Mirandola – the uncontested marvel of an age of true wonders – believed that there was.The Grammar of Angels tells how Pico dedicated his short, brilliant life to finding a philosophy that would settle the most important questions about human existence. This philosophy would, he believed, provide tools by which man could transcend his mortal limitations and join the ranks of the angels.At the heart of Pico’s ideas were questions that he traced through the breadth and depth of human thought, from the ancient Greeks and Egyptians to the medieval Arabs and Jews. He made use of everything at his disposal from Europe’s broadening horizons and asked primal questions of himself and the world. Why is it that we can be astonished by beauty? That the hairs on the backs of our necks can be made to stand by intoxicating rhythms and harmonies? That we can be provoked to ecstatic experiences by the simple means of an incantatio? n 1486, when he was just twenty-three, he declared his intention to defend 900 theses on religion, philosophy, natural philosophy and magic against all comers and for which he wrote a speech that is often deemed the ‘manifesto of the Renaissance, even though the ideas it introduced were subject to an unprecedented ban by the Church. He died mysteriously aged only thirty-one.The implications of his thought were dangerous in the Europe of his day, suggesting as they did that the notion of the individual might be just as much of an illusion as a flat earth or a geocentric universe. Pico’s tempestuous life at the heart of the Renaissance was a testament to intellectual daring, to a human dignity founded in the willingness to think the unthinkable and to peer over the edge of the abyss in search of answers.
How Africa Works
The birth of new nations, independent democracies, the defeat of settler colonialism, the unprecedented growth of cities from Lagos to Cairo; the African continent is booming. So why do myths about underdevelopment, unproductive land and unfounded concerns about overpopulation remai? n a groundbreaking new study of Africa''s developmental history, economist Joe Studwell debunks long-held views about the continent''s presumed resistance to growth, charting monumental changes in government, demography and asset management.Considering everything from settler colonialism to soil conditions, mineral extractivism to disease development and eradication, and across case studies from Rwanda to Botswana, Studwell persuasively argues that the seizing back of land, people and states across Africa, has also been the seizure of mass economic development. From slavery to independence and beyond, this is the definitive account of the world''s second largest continent - and an optimistic look to its future.

Ai Weiwei on Censorship
A thought-provoking work by a singular voice, this short, sharp essay invites us to critically reconsider power, ideology and the boundaries of free speech.
Invisible, invasive and widely taken for granted, censorship is a globalized force as much driven by commercial interests as political agendas. Ai Weiwei – artist, activist and one of the world’s most influential cultural figures – has first-hand experience of its power. In this urgent piece of writing, he makes a rallying cry for free speech in an age shaped by big data, mass surveillance and intrusive new technologies of control.
Ai Weiwei examines how censorship persists both in the overt propagandizing and redactions of authoritarian regimes, as well as subtly within democratic frameworks, exploring how international corporations, cultural institutions, social media and so-called ideologies of ‘freedom’ have provided fertile ground for new, more insidious, suppressions.
