Brian Johnson is a man who went looking for gold and found so much more-a soulmate for life, the child he had always dreamed of, and the joy of working alongside people who loved him. Brian Johnson lived his life in unexpected ways, choosing adventure over the predictable day-to-day. Working side-by-side with his brother, Loren, he struck gold repeatedly in the wilderness of Alaska and the Yukon as a modern-day goldminer for more than forty years. Brian endured family turmoil, personal danger, and financial distress in that time, only to learn that while the earth pays a miner richly with gold, an even greater treasure can be found in the love of brotherhood, family, and the freedom to lead the life you want. Filled with life lessons, Brian's story shows that the wonder and wealth of gold find us when we're not looking for it and sparkles just as brightly in the lives and hearts of those we love.

The entrancing story of one of the first Australian farming family's journey, from the late 1700s until today. How mid-20th-century agriculture failed, with the adoption of industrial agriculture and the use of high rates of fertiliser and pesticides which inflicted severe ecological damage on the farm and threatened to spiral the farm into financial ruin and how they rose from the ashes of a catastrophic bushfire and continue farming today.

In 1932 Idriess was described as 'a slight, medium-sized man, with a narrow, pale face, slightly greying hair and remarkable hazel eyes; a soft-voiced man with a typical Australian drawl.' He was also a highly motivated writer. He said of himself that he wrote 'like stinking hell, ' spending two hours every morning covering quarto pages of white paper with large handwriting at a desk in Angus & Robertson's old building in Castlereagh Street...- Julian Croft, Australian Dictionary of BiographyIon Idriess wrote over 50 books between 1931 and 1969, including the very popular Prospecting for Gold (1931), Lasseter's Last Ride (1932), and The Cattle King (1935), all of which have had 50 reprintings. This book focusses on his working correspondence from 1933 to 1935, as he attempted to draw stories, facts and photographs into his working archive, for books such as Drums of Mer, The Yellow Joss, Man Tracks and Forty Fathoms Deep. Collated and transcribed by Dr David A. Paterson from hand-written letters in the author's archive, here is a unique way into the complex mind of one of Australia's best-loved and most collected authors.Ion writes on July 3rd 1935, "I've got a ___ of a lot of correspondence to answer & if I start off by writing to old mates I'll keep on till I write a blooming book". Well Ion, here's the blooming book.

I viewed this trip as the next step in my education on cities. The Global South deals with very different urban issues - and in some ways feels more relevant right now - than the West. Its population is exploding, with all 20 of the world's fastest-growing cities based in Africa or Asia. More importantly, this population growth has an urban bent; because rural living in the Global South remains tough, people flood into urban centers. So for someone interested in cities, the Global South is where to be.Beyond that, there were three main goals going into the trip. One is to expand my journalistic coverage, exploring how Global South cities inform Market Urbanism. This theory, which I've covered extensively as founder of Market Urbanism Report, applies free-market policy ideas to city issues. Rooted from the classical liberal tradition, Market Urbanism calls for private-sector actions that create organic growth and voluntary exchange within cities, not ones enforced by government bureaucracy. I want to see how this high-level theory does (or does not) work in developing countries.A second goal of my trip is to find investment opportunities, namely in a genre of privatized development that's come to be called "startup cities." These are common across the Global South, and I describe them below. A third goal is to put on my consulting hat and discern which Global South urbanism lessons should be adopted by U.S. cities. That's the point of this essay.

منذ أنْ أعلنَ الفاطميّون عن قيام دولتهم الجديدة في إِفْرِيقِيّة (تونس) في أواخر القرن الثالث الهجري/التاسع الميلادي، رأوا في إقْلِيمَي طَرابلس الغَرب وبَرقة (ليبيا) أهمية كبيرة لمشروعهم العَسكري والسّياسي والْمَذهَبيّ في العالم الإسلامي شَرقِهِ وغَربِهِ. حيث كانت طرابلس استراتيجيًّا هي بوابة الدخول لإِفْرِيقِيَّة وبلاد المغرب الإسلامي كُلُّه لأولئك القادمين من المشرق، في حين كانت بَرقة جُغرافيًّا هي بوابة الدخول لِمِصْر وبقية بُلدان المشرق الإسلامي لأولئك القادمين من المغرب. فكانا يمثلان العصب الحيوي الذي يربط ما بين المشرق والمغرب، والجسر الأرضي الوحيد الآمن لتحقيق أحلام الفاطميين السياسية وأمانيهم الواسعة في التَّوَسُّع ومَدِّ سيطرتهم على كل أقاليم العالم الإسلامي، ومحاولتهم نشر مذهبهم الشيعي فيها. فكان نجاحُ مشروع الفاطميين في المنطقة متوقفًا على السيطرة على الإقليمين والمحافظة على استتباب الأمور فيهما. وهذا ما عمل الفاطميُّون على تحقيقه بمجرد قيام دولتهم الناشئة في إِفْرِيقِيَّة. وتحت حكم الفاطميين وسيطرتهم شهدت أرض طَرابلس وبَرقة وسُكّانِهِمَا زَخَمًا جديداً في الحياة السياسية والاقتصادية والاجتماعية، جاء كونه مواكباً لمتطلبات الدولة الجديدة وتطلعاتها الواسعة، تجسيداً حَقيقيًّا لاندماج السياسة مع الأرض والناس، وتفاعلها مع البيئة المحيطة والمجاورة.

What caused Australia's housing crisis - and how we might fix itOne of the great mysteries of Australian life is that a land of sweeping plains, with one of the lowest population densities on the planet, has a shortage of land for houses. As a result, Sydney is the second most expensive place to buy a house on Earth, after Hong Kong.The escalation in house prices is a pain that has altered Australian society; it has increased inequality and profoundly changed the relationship between generations - between those who have a house and those who don't. It has caused a rental crisis, a dearth of public housing and a mortgage crunch.Things went seriously wrong at the start of the twenty-first century, when there was a huge and permanent rise in the price of housing. In this crisp, clarifying and forward-looking essay, Alan Kohler tells the story of how we got into this mess - and how we might get out of it."The growth in the value of Australian land has fundamentally changed society, in two ways. First, generations of young Australians are being held back financially by the cost of shelter, especially if they live somewhere near a CBD and especially in Sydney or Melbourne; and second, the way wealth is generated has changed. Education and hard work are no longer the main determinants of how wealthy you are; now it comes down to where you live and what sort of house you inherit from your parents. It means Australia is less of an egalitarian meritocracy." Alan Kohler, The Great Divide
