”McGovern bare lo, en hul skraldende latter med mange spottende undertoner.Cabell fik en fornemmelse af, at der var torden i luften.McGovern var i strålende humør, gik og nynnede for sig selv og bevægede skuldrene som en hund, der forbereder sig på angreb. Det var et af tegnene. Et andet var den usædvanlige stilhed i fangernes hytte.”Derek Cabell rejser til Australien i 1842 for at lave en masse hurtige penge og vende tilbage til England som en rig mand. Det Australien, han oplever, er imidlertid helt anderledes end det, han forestillede sig. Han får arbejde i nærheden af den frygtede straffekoloni Moreton Bay, hvor han første gang møder den ondskabsfulde og snu Bob McGovern, der kommer til at sætte et grumt aftryk på hele resten af hans tid i Australien.Derek Cabell kæmper mod mange farer i sin tid i Australien: tørke, oversvømmelse, ildebrand og værst af alt ensomheden på det enorme og næsten øde kontinent. Romanen giver et udsædvanligt indblik i nybyggernes benhårde liv i 1800-tallets Australien, der var befolket af forbrydere, lykkejægere og aboriginere, der helst så, at nybyggerne tog hjem og lod dem være i fred.”Det land er mit” udkom første gang i 1934.Brian Penton (1904- 1951) var en australsk forfatter og journalist. Han skrev for nogle af Australiens førende aviser heriblandt The Sydney Morning Herald, The Daily Express og The Daily Mail. Han udgav flere romaner i løbet af sit liv, hvoraf særligt debutromanen ”Det land er mit” skabte stor interesse over store dele af verden. Hans bøger er blevet oversat til flere forskellige sprog, heriblandt dansk.

Catamaran de 46 pieds, né à La Rochelle en 1990, ma carrière commence assez banalement par la vie quelque peu monotone, mais au demeurant confortable, de voilier de location aux Antilles. Bientôt, je découvrirai celle, combien moins paisible, de contrebandier aux mains d'un cartel, puis celle de bagnard au quai des douanes de Calais. Finalement libéré pour bonne conduite, j'expérimenterai celle de garçonnière d'un homme d'affaires de la nuit parisienne, enfin celle de base de vie d'un club de pêche sportive dans l'océan indien. Au terme de cette jeunesse mouvementée et déjà lointaine à travers divers océans, voilà qu'un beau jour je tombe nez à nez avec Cap'tain Philip, croisé à Malte dans ma prime jeunesse.Commence alors une nouvelle vie de liberté en compagnie de mon nouveau capitaine vers les océans qu'il me reste à découvrir ; Le grand sud, ses immenses houles et ses milliers d'oiseaux, le Pacifique et ses étonnantes rencontres.

Examines Victorian conceptions of home and identity by looking at portrayals and accounts of middle-class emigration to Australia.

Si sostiene che l'ASEAN (Associazione delle Nazioni del Sud-Est Asiatico), con un mandato formale debole, sia stata più efficace nel rafforzare la sicurezza e l'ordine regionale e lo sviluppo economico rispetto ad altri organi regionali in Asia. In quanto organizzazione regionale, il modo in cui l'ASEAN ha ripetutamente superato i conflitti non è riuscito a risolverli. Le minacce di terrorismo, la competizione per le armi nucleari e i missili balistici e una disputa irrisolta sulla terraferma sono alcune delle principali aree di tensione tra questi Paesi.

Es wird argumentiert, dass der ASEAN (Verband Südostasiatischer Nationen) trotz seines schwachen formalen Mandats bei der Förderung der regionalen Sicherheit und Ordnung sowie der wirtschaftlichen Entwicklung effektiver war als andere regionale Organisationen in Asien. Als regionale Organisation ist die ASEAN wiederholt daran gescheitert, solche Konflikte zu lösen. Die Bedrohung durch den Terrorismus, die Konkurrenz um Atomwaffen und ballistische Raketen sowie ein ungelöster Streit um Land gehören zu den wichtigsten Spannungsfeldern zwischen diesen Ländern.

Argumenta-se que a ASEAN (Associação das Nações do Sudeste Asiático), com um mandato formal fraco, tem sido mais eficaz no reforço da segurança e da ordem regionais, bem como no desenvolvimento económico, do que outros órgãos regionais na Ásia. Enquanto organização regional, a forma como a ASEAN tem repetidamente superado os seus problemas não tem conseguido resolver esses conflitos. Ameaças de terrorismo, competição por armas nucleares e mísseis balísticos, e uma disputa não resolvida por terras constituem algumas das principais áreas de tensão entre estes países.

Graves to the left, graves to the right, but there shouldn't be a body in sightWhen Hettie visits her friend Marlee at the Battye Library, she isn't expecting it to lead to a cemetery. And while she knows, of course, that there are bodies in a cemetery, they are normally buried. So, finding one that hasn't been - at least officially - is not to be taken lightly. Finding herself inveigled into another murder investigation, and with trouble brewing over her new croquet courts, Hettie turns to her sidekick for help. But that cat is refusing to have anything to do with this latest death. Can Hettie solve this one on her own? Or will her discoveries make her wish she'd kept out of it too?

Tag med eventyrer John Andersen på rejse i kajak mellem isbjerge og grønlandske bygder. Han har siden 1974 besøgt samtlige bygder i Vestgrønland fra syd til nord og har mødt hundreder af venlige mennesker, som har hjulpet ham med gode råd på de ofte meget krævende rejser. I dette møde mellem to forskellige kulturer har den store, fascinerende Grønlandske natur været bindeleddet og vejen til gensidig respekt og forståelse.Udviklingen i Grønland går i rasende fart og har primært fokus på en udbygning af de ”store” kystbyer til en nutidig livsform, som er meget anderledes end den, man levede med tidligere. De seneste år har Grønland haft både Kinas, Ruslands og USA’s interesse på grund af sjældne jordarter, olieforekomster og ikke mindst andelen af Nordpolen.Det er kendt af de fleste, at denne udvikling har haft store fysiske og sociale omkostninger. Det gælder især de små bygdesamfund. Her finder man resterne af den oprindelige inuitkultur – evnen til at overleve fysisk og psykisk med meget små ressourcer – som i dag er under store forandringer blandt andet på grund af ændret klima. Denne påvirkning af kultur og klima er en væsentlig årsag til, at de små samfund forsvinder.John Andersen er uddannet arkitekt og tømrer, og så er han en respekteret eventyrer, forfatter og foredragsholder. Han er især kendt for sine kajakrejser langs Grønlands og Canadas kyster og igennem Nordvestpassagen. Ud over at ro kajak, har han kørt jorden rundt på motorcykel og blandt andet skrevet bøgerne Carsten Niebuhr, Vitus Bering, Silkevejen og Che Guevara.

This edited book is the second in the book series ¿Managing the Post-Colony¿. The book series is co-edited by Nimruji Jammulamadaka (IIM Calcutta, India) and Gavin Jack (Monash University, Australia). The book series seeks to present cutting-edge, critical, interdisciplinary, and geographically and culturally diverse perspectives on the contemporary nature, experience, and theorisation of managing and organising under conditions of postcoloniality.This book specifically presents voices and perspectives from Aotearoa New Zealand, Australia, and The Pacific, locations with shared and distinctive histories and present-day experiences of colonisation and imperialism. Ways of managing, organising, and doing business in these places demonstrate cultural continuity and change in such histories, present sites of postcolonial struggle, and diverse prospects for self-determined future-making. The book explores struggles and prospects of managing in the post-colony through qualitative empirical cases, historical and legal studies, conceptual essays and provocations, and interviews with Indigenous business leaders. It contributes to the ongoing diversification, provincialisation, and decolonisation of management and organisation studies and practice. A strong focus is placed on diverse Indigenous knowledges and experiences, including those of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander, Pasifika, and M¿ori peoples, and insights into the capacity for Indigenous culture-specific modes of business to offer decolonising futures.

Each stage in a person's life comes with different thoughts and feelings about life. For instance, it's often thought that the impressionability and sometimes impulsiveness of youth gives way to the sober reflections of mature age. Poetry is the perfect medium for capturing the evocations of different stages. The 'journey' of artists may also be evident in how well they have learned their craft, whether it be in music, art or literature. This book is a selection of the author's work over a period of thirty years that reflects this two-fold journey.
