A devoted horsewoman, with a lifetime of experiences and anecdotes, provides the prospective owner and horse enthusiast with an in-depth account of issues, challenges, and practical measures that make horse ownership rewarding. The book details the unexpected advantages for the horse and owner that result from limited acreage and a small barn operation. She makes the case with a surprising comparison of horse care in years past to safer, more practical options that make success easier to achieve on a smaller scale. Very detailed construction descriptions are included with rare anecdotes and personal observations that will help the reader begin to "think like a horse." Mastering the equine mindset is critical if an owner is to be successful in the creation of a safe habitat for any equine. Helpful tips for feeding regimens, stabling, turnout lots, daily routines, general barn management, and veterinary interventions are included. A great read and an important resource with practical information for the seasoned horse owner or any prospective ones.

International Student Security

By: Simon Marginson,Chris Nyland,Erlenawati Sawir,Helen Forbes-Mewett

More than three million students globally are on the move each year, crossing borders for their tertiary education. Many travel from Asia and Africa to English speaking countries, led by the United States, including the UK, Australia and New Zealand where students pay tuition fees at commercial rates and prop up an education export sector that has become lucrative for the provider nations. But the 'no frills' commercial form of tertiary education, designed to minimise costs and maximise revenues, leaves many international students inadequately protected and less than satisfied. International Student Security draws on a close study of international students in Australia, and exposes opportunity, difficulty, danger and courage on a massive scale in the global student market. It works through many unresolved issues confronting students and their families, including personal safety, language proficiency, finances, sub-standard housing, loneliness and racism.

Fluid Security in the Asia Pacific

Transnational Lives, Human Rights and State Control

By: Claudia Tazreiter,Leanne Weber,Sharon Pickering,Marie Segrave,Helen McKernan

This book explores the experiences of temporary migrants in the Asia-Pacific region. It develops the original concept of 'fluid security' to analyse the way in which persons carry a set of tools, strategies and attitudes across spatial, temporal and imagined borders. This concept applies a mobilities lens to human security in order to take into account the aspirations and needs of mobile populations appropriate for a globalising world. The book brings to light the diverse experiences of mobility and the multiple vulnerabilities experienced by individuals that intersect with, and sometimes challenge, national security domains. The authors analyse mobility patterns that are diversifying at a rate far outstripping the capacity of governments to adapt to the human security needs of mobile populations. While the idea of global citizenship may be held up as an ideal through which access to rights is not an arbitrary lottery, it remains far from a reality for the majority of migrants. They are excluded from the migratory flows global elites engage in almost at will. This important book advances the idea that mobile individuals can generate their own security when they have agency and the ability to plan; that experiences of security are not necessarily tied to permanence; that mobile populations benefit from policies that support transnational life; and that fluid security is enhanced when individuals are able to carry a bundle of rights with them.

Living Low Paid

The dark side of prosperous Australia

By: Helen Masterman-Smith,Barbara Pocock

Even in an international downturn, Australia is a prosperous country. Yet many Australians are working more for less and struggling to meet their basic needs, despite being employed. Living Low Paid investigates the Orwellian vision unfolding, often behind closed doors, in Australia's working heartland. The book challenges the low wage path to national prosperity by exposing the hard realities of living low paid for Australian workers today. In their own words, workers tell the costs of low pay for individuals, families and communities and the social fabric at large. Workers are increasingly being undermined by casualisation, hours of work and exploitative pay setting methods, while enormous tax breaks are given to the rich, jobs are outsourced, unions are muzzled and job entitlements such as sick pay, holiday pay and penalty rates are scrapped. Living Low Paid offers a biting account of Australia's growing underbelly. It is vital reading for anyone who cares about where Australia is heading. The hope that a job was a sure road out of poverty for most in our country no longer holds. This book shows that many face insecure or inadequate hours, low hourly rates and little access to basic benefits. Low pay casts a long shadow, well into retirement for many.' Louise Tarrant, National Secretary, Liquor Hospitality and Miscellaneous Workers Union This book helps strip back the cloak which shrouds the lived experience of working poverty in a nation where prosperity shields so many from direct knowledge. It is an eloquent argument for change: we can and must do better.' Tony Nicholson, Executive Director Brotherhood of St Laurence
