Dr Rudyard Turnstone and the Beach of Promises is an uplifting story about a remarkable bird, a blind boy and a curious Indigenous girl who form a special friendship on the beach of a small coastal town in South Australia. Dr Rudyard, better known as Ruddy, is a migratory bird who takes readers on amazing adventures from Australia to the Arctic Circle and back. Ruddy is also a doctor - a flying doctor - not of medicines and potions, but a dispenser of hope and happiness based on knowledge passed on from generations of travelling turnstones. Join Ruddy on his epic journeys along one of the world's great flyways between the hemispheres, the East Asian Australasian Flyway. "I am going to take you on my rounds to introduce you to the most remarkable, unforgettable, inspiring, beautiful and enchanting patients. But you must bring your imagination with you." Just as captivating is Ruddy's relationship with the blind boy, Heysen, who loves to spend every spare hour in the company of birds, and Heysen's growing friendship with the girl, Grace, who is dedicated to awakening the sleeping words of her ancestors, the Narungga people of Yorke Peninsula. The book highlights the urgent need to conserve healthy natural ecosystems for the well-being of all people and creatures. Cover painting: Allyson Parsons Chapter Illustrations: Marie Parsons

Et fly styrter ned i Nordgrønland, og en hemmelig last forsvinder under isen. 30 år senere ankommer et ungt par, Astrid og Peter. Han er embedsmand i Udenrigsministeriet og skal tilse oprydningen af USA's militære baser. Hun er journalist, men har lovet ham at holde fri fra sit job på Dagbladet i København. Ved ankomsten omdirigeres Peter til Sydgrønland. Et australsk mineselskab har fundet mineraler, der er afgørende for verdens omstilling fra sort til grøn energi, men nu truer fundet af flere skeletter, som politiet frygter stammer fra forbrydelser begået for mange år siden, med at lukke for mineprojektet.

Det viser sig, at Peter er centralt placeret i et større coverup, tæt overvåget af verdens stormagter, og Astrid indser, da hun bryder sit løfte og går efter historien, hvor lidt hun egentlig ved om manden, hun elsker.

This book is the first history of commercial television in regional Australia, where diverse communities are spread across vast distances and multiple time zones. The first station, GLV Latrobe Valley, began broadcasting in December 1961. By the late 1970s, there were 35 independent commercial stations throughout regional Australia, from Cairns in the far north-east to Bunbury in the far south-west. Based on fine-grained archival research and extensive interviews, the book examines the key political, regulatory, economic, technological, industrial, and social developments which have shaped the industry over the past 60 years. Regional television is often dismissed as a mere extension of ¿ or footnote to ¿ the development of Australiäs three metropolitan commercial television networks. Michael Thurlow¿s study reveals an industry which, at its peak, was at the economic and social heart of regional communities, employing thousands of people and providing vital programming for viewers inprovincial cities and small towns across Australia.

Este trabajo es el resultado de la labor investigativa de muchos compañeros que pensando en ti como estudiante han querido darte a conocer páginas de nuestra historia local que no se han conocido lo suficiente pero que no puede esperar más en las condiciones de una ciudad muy joven, heterogénea que transita por el proceso de formación de su identidad.Moa, como otros muchos lugares de nuestro país ocupa un lugar en la historia nacional no solo por la riqueza de su suelo, de su flora, de su fauna, por la belleza de sus ríos o por el impetuoso desarrollo industrial que aquí se observa. También su historia aporta a esas riquezas, por el esfuerzo de quienes la construyeron por sus luchas contra el imperio que desde tiempos muy lejanos robó los recursos naturales de esta zona como expresión de su política de saqueo.

In the century between the Napoleonic Wars and the Irish Civil War, more than seven million Irish men and women left their homeland to begin new lives abroad. While the majority settled in the United States, Irish emigrants dispersed across the globe, many of them finding their way to another "New World," Australia. Ireland's New Worlds is the first book to compare Irish immigrants in the United States and Australia. In a profound challenge to the national histories that frame most accounts of the Irish diaspora, Malcolm Campbell highlights the ways that economic, social, and cultural conditions shaped distinct experiences for Irish immigrants in each country, and sometimes in different parts of the same country. From differences in the level of hostility that Irish immigrants faced to the contrasting economies of the United States and Australia, Campbell finds that there was much more to the experiences of Irish immigrants than their essential "Irishness." America's Irish, for example, were primarily drawn into the population of unskilled laborers congregating in cities, while Australia's Irish, like their fellow colonialists, were more likely to engage in farming. Campbell shows how local conditions intersected with immigrants' Irish backgrounds and traditions to create surprisingly varied experiences in Ireland's new worlds. Outstanding Book, selected by the American Association of School Librarians, and Best Books for Special Interests, selected by the Public Library Association"Well conceived and thoroughly researched . . . . This clearly written, thought-provoking work fulfills the considerable ambitions of comparative migration studies."--Choice

It's the year 2040, and thanks to astonishing advances in space exploration technology, humans have made first contact with a variety of astonishing alien civilizations. United in an intergalactic coalition called the Unified Federation of Galaxies, Earthlings now have access to the profound wisdom of far more advanced beings from across the cosmos. As interplanetary travel and immigration become commonplace, the Sprantle family moves from their homeworld to Melbourne, Australia when Mr. Blaptet Sprantle accepts a position with the Australian Space Agency. For young Spleebe Sprantle and his sister Pweedle, fitting in with the earthlings poses an unexpected challenge, as the sibling aliens struggle to align their eccentric appearances and mannerisms to blend into this utterly foreign society. Eager to assimilate, the well-meaning extraterrestrial newcomers soon discover that being accepted is far more easily said than done. In his fish-out-of-water quest to be understood, precocious young Spleebe learns that even across galaxies, the things that make you different are often the very things that make you stand out. Overflowing with humour and heart, The Adventures of Spleebe is an out-of-this-world coming-of-age tale about embracing your uniqueness while navigating the winding roads that lead to belonging. As Spleebe forges unlikely friendships with his new human pals, he shows Earth's children that being an alien on the inside is something to celebrate.

Through diverse engagements with natural resource extraction and ecological vulnerability in the contemporary Arctic, contributors to this volume apprehend Arctic resource regimes through the concept of abstraction. Abstraction refers to the creation of new material substances and cultural values by detaching parts from existing substances and values. The abstractive process differs from the activity of extractive industries by its focus on the conceptual resources that conceal processes of exploitation associated with extraction. The study of abstraction can thus help us attune to the formal operations that make appropriations of value possible while disclosing the politics of extraction and of its representation.

Traditionally, Germany has been considered a minor player in Pacific history: its presence there was more limited than that of other European nations, and whereas its European rivals established themselves as imperial forces beginning in the early modern era, Germany did not seriously pursue colonialism until the nineteenth century. Yet thanks to recent advances in the field emphasizing transoceanic networks and cultural encounters, it is now possible to develop a more nuanced understanding of the history of Germans in the Pacific. The studies gathered here offer fascinating research into German missionary, commercial, scientific, and imperial activity against the backdrop of the Pacific's overlapping cultural circuits and complex oceanic transits.
