Religion and Change in Australia

Religion and Change in Australia

By: Adam Possamai,David Tittensor

This timely book offers a panoramic overview of the enduring significance of religion in modern Australian society. Applying sociological perspectives and contemporary theories of religion in society, it challenges conventional assumptions around the extent of secularisation in Australia and instead argues that religious institutions, groups, and individuals have proved remarkably adaptable to social change and continue to play a major role in Australian life. In doing so, it explores how religion intersects with a wide range of other contemporary issues, including politics, race, migration, gender, and new media. Religion and Change in Australia explores Australia’s unique history regarding religion. Christianity was originally imported as a tool of social control to keep convicts, settlers, and Australian Aboriginal peoples in check. This had a profound impact on the social memory of the nation, and lingering resentment towards the "excessive" presence of religion continues to be felt today. Freedom of religion was enshrined in Section 116 of the Australian Constitution in 1901. Nevertheless, the White Australia Policy effectively prevented adherents of non-Christian faiths from migrating to Australia and the nation remained overwhelmingly Christian. However, after WWII, Australia, in common with other western societies, appears to have become increasingly secularised, as religious observance declined dramatically. However, Religion and Change in Australia employs a range of social theories to challenge this securalist view and argues that Australia is a post-secular society. The 2016 census revealed that over half of the population still identify as Christian. In politics, the socially conservative religious right has come to exert considerable influence on the ruling Liberal-National Coalition, particularly under John Howard and Scott Morrison. New technologies, such as the Internet and social media, have provided new avenues for religious expression and proselytisation whilst so-called "megachurches" have been built to cater to their increasing congregations. The adoption of multiculturalism and increased immigration from Asia has led to a religiously pluralist society, though this has often been controversial. In particular, the position of Islam in Australia has been the subject of fierce debate, and Islamophobic attitudes remain common. Atheism, non-belief, and alternative spiritualities have also become increasingly widespread, especially amongst the young. Religion and Change in Australia analyses these developments to offer new perspectives on religion and its continued relevance within Australian society. This book is therefore a vital resource for students, academics, and general readers seeking to understand contemporary debates surrounding religion and secularisation in Australia.

Shopping with a Conscience

The Informed Shopper's Guide to Retailers, Suppliers and Service Providers in Canada

By: Rajani Achar,David Nitkin

Shopping with a conscience is a ground-breaking book (John Wiley & Sons, forthcoming May 1996) that focuses on the corporate social responsibility of major retailers and suppliers of goods and services in the Canadian marketplace. This includes 115 of Canada's largest grocery retailers, banks and trust companies, gas stations, drugstore chains, fast food chains, car rental companies, hotels and entertainment venues, and specialty retailers of hardware, sporting goods, travel and business services, office supplies and the like. Retailers are chosen for inclusion in the book with a national scope in mind: the goal is a guide of interest to shoppers, small businesspeople, and procurement professionals from coast to coast. The text will focus on reporting and analyzing comparative performance on a range of ethicalissues of most interest to Canadians. Such issues include environmental management and performance, hiring and promotion of women and minorities, job creation, and progressive community relations, as well as the percentage of Canadian ownership and decision-making of each company profiled. The tone of Shopping With a Conscience is not political correctness. Readers will not be told how to think. Rather, they'll be given the kind of data to allow them to reward the good: to make their own decisions about where to bank, shop, and rent. The approach is to provide detailed, original and useful information to make book purchasers feel good about themselves, their shopping behaviour, and the consequences of their choiceof retailer.

The Forest Wars

The ugly truth about what's happening in our tall forests

By: David Lindenmayer

Lifts the lid on destruction of native forests by government corporations and logging industry that is making bushfires worse, killing wildlife and costing taxpayers millions, for the sake of woodchips for export. Since colonisation, Australians have been frantically logging our native forests as if our lives depended on it. Our lives do depend on the forestsbut on keeping them, not destroying them. World-leading forest expert Professor David Lindenmayer exposes the unsettling truth about what is happening in our tall eucalypt forests. Despite what we are told, logging makes bushfires worse for decades after the chainsaws stop, and kills iconic animals and birds each year in droves, driving many species closer to extinction. The trees that are logged mostly end up as paper and cardboard. And it's not profitable: taxpayers are funding it. Lindenmayer reveals an unholy alliance between state forestry, the timber industry and unions. Loggers routinely breach regulations, and industry intimidates anyone who questions what they are doing. Worse still, even where native forest logging is supposedly ending, efforts are being made to continue it under a different name. Forests purify our drinking water. Forests are our best hope to reduce carbon emissions. Forests preserve biodiversity. It's time we realised the value of leaving our native forests standing. 'In the face of all the lies and industry spin, an evidence-based account that's clear, humane, and trustworthy.' - Tim Winton 'The Forest Wars details the devastating impact of decades of failed policy, but also paints a compelling vision for what the future of our forests can be.' - David Pocock 'A call to action for better forest management and a push to protect the benefits that native forests provide to humans and wildlife alike.' - Jon Dee 'With calm authority born of a lifetime's research and experience in the field, Lindenmayer fillets Australia's often-confusing forest debate, busting myth after myth...' - Paddy Manning

The world’s leading resource on trauma surgery― with an expanded full-color atlas A Doody's Core Title for 2017!

Enhanced by a full-color design and a high-quality atlas of anatomic drawings and surgical approaches, this trusted classic takes readers through the full range of injuries the trauma surgeon is likely to encounter.

Trauma then delivers a clear organ-by-organ survey of treatment protocols designed to help clinicians respond to any critical care situation with confidence, no matter what body system is involved.
