Geology at ANU (1959 - 2009)

Fifty Years of History and Reminiscences

By: Mike Rickard

This history was undertaken to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Geology Department at ANU, and to honour its founding professor David A. Brown. It includes contributions from some 100 former students outlining their career successes. This history was compiled by Dr Mike Rickard, a staff member of the Department of Geology from 1963 to 1997, who also served as Head of Department for seven years. He graduated BSc and PhD from Imperial College London in 1957 and has specialised in mapping the structure of mountain chains in Ireland, Canada, Norway, and southern South America. He also mapped volcanic rocks for the Geological Survey of Fiji. He taught Structural Geology and Tectonics and has supervised field work in south eastern and central Australia. After retirement he has taught U3A courses in Earth Science.

Mildred's Book Store

By: Mike Nystrom

Mildred's Book Store" sounded like a catchy name for my collection of book titles and authors. Mildred, to me, seemed like a good name for an entrepreneur of a small business like an independent bookstore. As in any such retail outlet, there are different categories of books to appeal to any reader. As I began organizing my collection, I was able to arrange them in eight general categories, including a catch-all "Potpourri" section. Since they are only titles and not whole books, I hope that the reader finds favorites in all eight sections. I also hope that this will spur an interest in some of these various fields that leads to purchases of books in those fields. If, by having my collection published, it both entertains and creates interest in new areas of life, I will be completely satisfied.

De Falende God

Eerste Kroniek van Cranborn

By: Mike Jansen

De drie huurlingen, Grim, Grijs en Thoreld zijn op de vlucht voor een eeuwenoud kwaad en in hun kielzog sneuvelen profetieën en escaleren lang sluimerende conflicten. Met een huiveringwekkend gekraak richtte het dode lichaam van de oude koning Torazan zich op en sprak tegen de drie huurlingen: ‘Hoed u voor het Afwezige Licht!’ Een kille wind stak op en de koning begon langzaam te verkruimelen tot er alleen nog een hoopje as, botten en wat stukjes eeuwenoude kleding op de troon lagen. Het werd onnatuurlijk stil en bij het flakkerende lamplicht wachtten de drie mannen tot er nog iets gebeurde. Dat duurde enkele minuten tot Grim ongeduldig werd. ‘Nou, dat lijkt me duidelijk,’ zei hij. ‘Nu zitten wij hier in dit hol in plaats van hij.’ ‘De falende god’ is het eerste deel in een breed opgezette fantasycyclus in de traditie van Steven Erikson en George R.R. Martin. “Het verhaal greep me en liet me niet meer los. Laat Fritz Leibers Fafhrd en Grijze Muizer de vrije loop in één van de apocalyptische strubbelingen uit Glen Cooks Black Company, en je hebt een eerste idee van wat je mag verwachten. – Tais Teng”

City Stage

Hong Kong Playwriting in English

By: Mike Ingham,Xu Xi

City Stage is an anthology of recent Hong Kong English-language drama written for Hong Kong performers and audiences. All the plays were written in the last ten years and so capture and reflect the fast-developing multiculturalism of the Hong Kong scene – a somewhat paradoxical phenomenon in view of the 1997 return to China Mainland sovereignty. The richness and diversity of the subject-matter, the wide range of theatre styles from the naturalistic to the highly stylized and quite simply the engaging quality of the dramatic writing, all make this anthology both an essential adjunct to the 2001 prose fiction and poetry collection City Voices and at the same time a ground-breaking, independent record of an incredibly fertile period in Hong Kong's recent creative life history. Thematically speaking, whilst all plays have their unique voice and subject-matter, it is accurate to say that the quest for personal and communal identity is a theme that goes to the heart of all present selections. The anthology is important in that it epitomizes the increasing interconnectedness of previously segregated facets of Hong Kong culture, indicating the very welcome tendency towards more open dialogue between Chinese and non-Chinese practitioners and audiences. The anthology contains the complete texts of the shorter plays and strategically selected excerpts from the longer plays. All the texts in this collection were written as English-language versions for performance rather than literary translations, although for some a Chinese-language text was also written.

Wheat

Environment, Food and Health

By: Mike J. Gooding,Peter R. Shewry

Wheat is produced on a greater area, grown over a wider geographic range, and traded internationally as a commodity more than any other arable crop. Wheat alone provides 20% of the calories and protein in the global human diet. Understanding the interactions between wheat production, the environment, and human nutrition is essential for meeting the demands of food security as we approach the middle of the 21st century. Wheat: Environment, Food and Health is written by two leading authorities in the field and offers insights into critical issues such as the sustainability of wheat production, the challenges of both mitigating and adapting to environmental change, and the effects of wheat consumption on human health. Covering a broad range of topics, the authors: Introduce the historical development and utilization of the wheat crop. Describe the factors affecting the quality and acceptability of wheat for different uses. Discuss the soil characteristics that are required for, and changed by, wheat production. Examine the water, temperature, and light requirements of wheat systems. Explore the methods and sustainability of plant breeding and farmer approaches to improving crop yields. Describe the development, structure, and composition of wheat grain. Discuss the contribution and impacts, both positive and negative, of wheat consumption on human health. • Discuss how modern technologies and new approaches are addressing the challenges of maintaining wheat production. Wheat: Environment, Food and Health is an essential resource for researchers and academics in disciplines including agriculture, plant biology, applied biology, botany, food science and nutrition, crop improvement, food security, environmental sustainability, and human health.

Christ, Providence and History

By: Mike Higton

This book is the first full study of the whole of Hans Frei's work. Higton draws on a wide range of unpublished material in the Frei archives to present a comprehensive, fresh, and original interpretation of Frei's theology. He places Frei's well-known work on biblical hemeneutics firmly in the context of his theological wrestling with Barth and of the dominant traditions of Western Protestant theology.

Sedimentology and Sedimentary Basins

From Turbulence to Tectonics

Sedimentology and Sedimentary Basins

From Turbulence to Tectonics

By: Mike R. Leeder

The sedimentary record on Earth stretches back more than 4.3 billion years and is present in more abbreviated forms on companion planets of the Solar System, like Mars and Venus, and doubtless elsewhere. Reading such planetary archives correctly requires intimate knowledge of modern sedimentary processes acting within the framework provided by tectonics, climate and sea or lake level variations. The subject of sedimentology thus encompasses the origins, transport and deposition of mineral sediment on planetary surfaces. The author addresses the principles of the subject from the viewpoint of modern processes, emphasising a general science narrative approach in the main text, with quantitative background derived in enabling ‘cookie’ appendices. The book ends with an innovative chapter dealing with how sedimentology is currently informing a variety of cognate disciplines, from the timing and extent tectonic uplift to variations in palaeoclimate. Each chapter concludes with a detailed guide to key further reading leading to a large bibliography of over 2500 entries. The book is designed to reach an audience of senior undergraduate and graduate students and interested academic and industry professionals.

Late Victorian Holocausts

El Niño Famines and the Making of the Third World

By: Mike Davis

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Late Victorian Holocausts

El Niño Famines and the Making of the Third World

By: Mike Davis

Examining a series of El Niño-induced droughts and the famines that they spawned around the globe in the last third of the 19th century, Mike Davis discloses the intimate, baleful relationship between imperial arrogance and natural incident that combined to produce some of the worst tragedies in human history. Late Victorian Holocausts focuses on three zones of drought and subsequent famine: India, Northern China; and Northeastern Brazil. All were affected by the same global climatic factors that caused massive crop failures, and all experienced brutal famines that decimated local populations. But the effects of drought were magnified in each case because of singularly destructive policies promulgated by different ruling elites. Davis argues that the seeds of underdevelopment in what later became known as the Third World were sown in this era of High Imperialism, as the price for capitalist modernization was paid in the currency of millions of peasants' lives.

In Schaduwen van Weleer

Tweede Kroniek van Cranborn

By: Mike Jansen

Inskald trok zijn deken om zich heen om warm te blijven en gooide nog wat extra brandbaar materiaal op het vuur. Af en toe dacht hij de mist te zien wervelen en kronkelen alsof iets of iemand de kalmte van de nacht verstoorde. Inskald grijnsde toen hij uit de tent van Thoreld luid gesnurk begon te horen. Wat er zich ook in de mist bevond, dat geluid zou het zeker op afstand houden. Jakhals kwam naast hem bij het vuur zitten. Hij staarde in de vlammen en bij het flakkerende licht leek zijn gezicht oud en verweerd, zijn ogen diep en donker. ‘Ik maak me zorgen om je, Jakhals,’ zei Inskald. Jakhals schudde zijn hoofd. ‘Ik zie ze, broeder, ik zie ze in de mist.’ ‘Wie zie je?’ vroeg Inskald. ‘De schaduwen van weleer. De doden van gisteren. De slachtoffers van morgen,’ zei Jakhals. ‘Ik denk dat je ijlt, broeder,’ zei Inskald. ‘Er is daarbuiten niets.’ Jakhals keek hem aan. ‘Durf jij dan de mist in te lopen? Ze zeggen dat het kan, dat het veilig is.’ ‘Wie zeggen dat?’ Inskald strekte zijn nek en keek om zich heen. De mist die boven het moeras hing was spookachtig wit en de schaduwen die het flakkerende vuur wierp leken de mist te laten bewegen. ‘Je vergist je, broeder, er is daar niets.’ Jakhals zat niet meer naast hem... In het vervolg op 'De Falende God' volgen we de diverse personen uit het eerste deel op hun verdere reizen op Cranborn en daarbuiten. Maak kennis met de Kerk van Rotanny, de mysterieuze orde van de Kroezaren en hun nog enigmatischer aanvoerder. Lees over de gebeurtenissen in het verre zuiden waar Weldaf Gardansson strijdt tegen een vijand die hem telkens een stap voor lijkt te zijn en wanhopig probeert zich staande te houden tot zijn generaal Volon Giraingard terugkeert met verse troepen. De huurlingen doorzoeken intussen de restanten van de strooptochten van de Draconii in hun millennia oude burcht, de Drakkanborch, in de hoop het Zwarte Boek van de Duisterlingen terug te vinden dat hen kan vertellen hoe ze een vrijwel zekere toekomst in het Afwezige Licht kunnen afwenden "De Falende God is een zeldzaam goed boek! ****" - Fantasywereld.nl

Wind and Rain at the Brush

By: Mike Mei

Being in a foreign country, immersed in the great atmosphere of western culture, what is still in my heart is the quintessence of China, and the DNA of Chinese culture still flows in my blood. The United States is a multi-ethnic country, and the cultural essence of various ethnic groups blooms here like the flowers of spring. Chinese calligraphy, the gem of Chinese culture with a history of 3,000 years and the genius of the world that has shocked the history of art, has been splendid in this melting pot! The sages said: There are at least two aspects in life, one is life and the other is spirit. Once one settles in a foreign place, there will be spiritual pursuits; cultural factors will become active, childhood dreams will come into life, and flowers will bloom in the cradle of multiculturalism... In the educational world dominated by western culture, eastern culture and Chinese culture are not featured prominently, especially in art departments in universities. I am honored to be a practitioner and inheritor of Chinese calligraphy, and I am a frequent guest speaker in various schools and museums in New England, such as Harvard and Wellesley universities, giving lectures, demonstrations and exhibitions, etc. These invitations compensate for the neglect of Chinese calligraphy in the main curriculum and allow students to witness the creative process of Chinese calligraphy as an art form. In Asian art departments of western universities, there are capable people who study Chinese calligraphy theories from the perspective of westerners, but only a few who are capable of doing calligraphy. To answer this need I felt compelled to take up a teaching role, shuttling between colleges, high schools, and elementary schools.

Claytie

The Roller-Coaster Life of a Texas Wildcatter

By: Mike Cochran

The native son of a distinguished West Texas family and a 1954 graduate of Texas A&M whose career and personal pursuits have ranged from farmer to insurance salesman to wildcatter, pipeline entrepreneur, rancher, banker, real estate mogul, big game hunter, conservationist, philanthropist, front-running gubernatorial candidate, and oil tycoon, Clayton W. Williams Jr. is by all measures one of a kind. He has repeatedly been on the Forbes list of the 400 wealthiest Americans, yet more than once Claytie has also been on the verge of bankruptcy. This authorized biography captures the dimensions of his fascinating life: his determined work ethic and honesty; his passionate interests and rough-hewn style; his devotion to wife and constant companion Modesta and family; his all-in wildcatter bets and integrity-above-all payoff of debts; his patented gaffes in the “wildest, woolliest Texas governor’s race ever” and their spotlighted consequences for the state and nation; and running through it all, both unrestrained celebrations and knees-on-the-ground repentance. His many notable successes, his most admirable traits, as well as his most outrageous flaws are all portrayed in this book, often in Claytie’s own words or in the extensive comments, revealing anecdotes, and first-person accounts of others, supplemented by family and business documents, as well as contemporary journalistic records. This book tells it all, revealing one distinctive maverick who has left his boot prints all across Texas for 75 years.

Linspired

The Remarkable Rise of Jeremy Lin

By: Mike Yorkey

Linspired reveals the remarkable journey of the ultimate underdog, Jeremy Lin, superstar of the New York Knicks and the first American-born player of Chinese/Taiwanese descent to play in the NBA. In spite of being cut by two NBA teams before he signed with the Knicks, Lin always trusted that God had a plan for his life and his talents: "I'm not exactly sure how it is all going to turn out, but I know for a fact that God has called me to be here now in the NBA," says Lin in Linspired. After weeks of sitting at the end of the bench, a teammate’s injury finally placed Lin on the court. Since then, he has captivated sports fans throughout the world with his tremendous skill and humble response to “Linsanity.” Weighing in on this phenomenon are tennis’s Michael Chang, the first notable Asian-American athlete, Lin’s pastor, Stephen Chen, and Pat Williams, senior vice president of the Orlando Magic. Other features include eight pages of full-color photos and in-depth interviews with Lin himself. Here is the remarkable inside story of the meteoric rise of Jeremy Lin.

The Steve Machine

A Novel

By: Mike Hoolboom

Shortlisted for a 2009 Lambda Award When Auden learns he's HIV-positive, he decides to head for Toronto, leaving behind Sudbury and his old personality. Determined to construct a whole new Auden, he gets a new job, new clothes, new habits, new friends, new ways of speaking. And all of these things seem to be leading him inevitably towards Steve, Steve Reinke. Steve - and here's where it gets confusing - is, in real life as well as in The Steve Machine , a renowned video artist (The Hundred Videos), someone who makes television for one person at a time, small-screen excursions that cure migraines and allow viewers to see five seconds into the future. There's something familiar about Steve, thinks Auden. His voice. His dulcet, summery voice. It's the voice inside Auden's head, the one that he hears when he reads books. And then Steve tellsAuden that together they will build a machine in the form of a book - a machine that will replace this inner voice with something more soothing and satisfying, a machine that will allow the reader to construct a new personality, a machine to make Auden healthy again. The Steve Machine is at once a plague narrative, a love story, a reflection on media technology, and a joy to read. As an added bonus, this volume has been written both as a regular hold-in-your-hand novel witha beginning, middle, and end (though not necessarily in that order), and as a machine. The Steve Machine. 'I love this book, though I prefer the original title, Steve Reinke, The Greatest Video Artist in the World .' - The real-life Steve Reinke

Masquerade

By: Mike Fu

“A surreal, queer, coming-of-age mystery set between New York and Shanghai.”—TIME, A Best Book of Fall Newly single Meadow Liu is house-sitting for his friend, artist Selma Shimizu, when he stumbles upon The Masquerade, a translated novel about a masked ball in 1930s Shanghai. The author’s name is the same as Meadow’s own in Chinese, Liu Tian—a coincidence that proves to be the first of many strange happenings. Over the course of a single summer, Meadow must contend with a possibly haunted apartment, a mirror that plays tricks, a stranger speaking in riddles at the bar where he works, as well as a startling revelation about a former lover. And when Selma vanishes from her artist residency, Meadow is forced to question everything he knows as the boundaries between real and imagined begin to blur. Exploring social, cultural, and sexual identities in New York, Shanghai, and beyond, Mike Fu’s Masquerade is a skillfully layered, brilliantly interwoven debut novel of friendship, queer longing, and worlds on the brink, asking how we can find ourselves among ghosts of all kinds, and who we can trust when nothing—and no one—is as it seems.

The Butterfly Defect

How Globalization Creates Systemic Risks, and What to Do about It

By: Ian Goldin,Mike Mariathasan

How to better manage systemic risks—from cyber attacks and pandemics to financial crises and climate change—in a globalized world The Butterfly Defect addresses the widening gap between the new systemic risks generated by globalization and their effective management. It shows how the dynamics of turbo-charged globalization has the potential and power to destabilize our societies. Drawing on the latest insights from a wide variety of disciplines, Ian Goldin and Mike Mariathasan provide practical guidance for how governments, businesses, and individuals can better manage globalization and risk. Goldin and Mariathasan demonstrate that systemic risk issues are now endemic everywhere—in supply chains, pandemics, infrastructure, ecology and climate change, economics, and politics. Unless we address these concerns, they will lead to greater protectionism, xenophobia, nationalism, and, inevitably, deglobalization, rising inequality, conflict, and slower growth. The Butterfly Defect shows that mitigating uncertainty and risk in an interconnected world is an essential task for our future.

Ecology of Fear

Los Angeles and the Imagination of Disaster

By: Mike Davis

A witty and engrossing look at Los Angeles' urban ecology and the city's place in America's cultural fantasies Earthquakes. Wildfires. Floods. Drought. Tornadoes. Snakes in the sea, mountain lions, and a plague of bees. In this controversial tour de force of scholarship, unsparing vision, and inspired writing, Mike Davis, the author of City of Quartz, revisits Los Angeles as a Book of the Apocalypse theme park. By brilliantly juxtaposing L.A.'s fragile natural ecology with its disastrous environmental and social history, he compellingly shows a city deliberately put in harm's way by land developers, builders, and politicians, even as the incalculable toll of inevitable future catastrophe continues to accumulate. Counterpointing L.A.'s central role in America's fantasy life--the city has been destroyed no less than 138 times in novels and films since 1909--with its wanton denial of its own real history, Davis creates a revelatory kaleidoscope of American fact, imagery, and sensibility. Drawing upon a vast array of sources, Ecology of Fear meticulously captures the nation's violent malaise and desperate social unease at the millennial end of "the American century." With savagely entertaining wit and compassionate rage, this book conducts a devastating reconnaissance of our all-too-likely urban future.
