The Story of Australia

By: Robert Grieve Black

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

We all tend to think of Australia as a country with a very short history. In fact it has one of the oldest identifiable histories on this planet dating back to when the first Aboriginal people travelled south between the ice ages.Did you know that there are around one million camels living in the wild in Australia? They are not of course indigenous but rather were shipped in by British colonialists to help explore and develop the outback. The proud Brits didn't really want their Arab handlers so they returned to their homelands abandoning the camels.Did you know that Australia, with its reliance on coal-burning power stations, is considered to be the world's number one polluter?These are just a few of the gems in this short history of Australia. It is just under 30,000 words which represents about eighty pages in a standard print book. There are inevitably some dates to maintain the time-line but the emphasis is on telling the story of Australia.

Death, Society, and Human Experience

By: Robert Kastenbaum,Christopher M. Moreman

The 13th edition of Death, Society, and Human Experience provides a panoramic overview of the ways that we are touched by death and dying, both as individuals and as members of society. A landmark text in the field, the authors draw on contributions from the social and behavioral sciences as well as the humanities, including perspectives offered through history, philosophy, religion, literature, and the arts, to provide thorough coverage and understanding of topics associated with the end of life and death and dying. By approaching the subject from multiple angles, the authors explain the various ways that individual, cultural, and societal attitudes influence both how and when we die and how we live and deal with the knowledge of death and loss. Originally written by Robert Kastenbaum, a renowned scholar who developed one of the world’s first death education courses, Christopher M. Moreman, who has worked in the field of death studies for two decades, has updated this edition. In addition to infusing his close areas of focus, both in afterlife beliefs and experiences and how these might affect how people live their lives, he’s weaved in new coverage of current affairs, including: The impact of COVID-19 on experiences of death, bereavement, mourning, and more Expanded legalization of physician-assisted dying in the United States and several countries Changes in bereavement rituals and traditions stemming from technology use and social media With additional content and classroom extensions available online, Death, Society, and Human Experience remains a thoughtful, exploratory, and impressively comprehensive overview for undergraduate and graduate courses in death, dying, and bereavement.

The Way of Virtue

Qigong Meditations to Cultivate Perfect Peace in an Imperfect World

By: Robert Peng,Rafael Nasser

Beloved Qigong master Robert Peng returns with meditations to empower you to tap into the limitless wisdom contained in your body. “Peace on earth mirrors peace within,” says Robert Peng. Yet when we bring energies of disharmony into our lives—like stress, trauma, and discord—those energies take up residence in our bodies and minds. Feelings of isolation and disconnection, according to Peng, are manifestations of a divided mind. Fortunately, the answer for restoration is all around us in the form of life-giving Qi. With The Way of Virtue, this renowned teacher presents a hands-on guide to Qigong meditations designed to channel healing energy precisely where it’s most needed—and make room for the abundant virtues that naturally arise from a balanced body. Peng expertly describes the nature of the mind and guides you toward the awakening of Spirit, offering the opportunity to cultivate a consistent practice and invite profound changes in well-being. Through his lucid descriptions, along with illustrations and audio guidance, he presents Qigong meditations focused on the organ system and meridian network, as well as healing sounds, paving the way to a deeper connection with one’s spiritual practice. Here you’ll learn which emotions are stored in specific organs, along with practices to draw in Qi to awaken and empower your bodymind. As you engage in these practices, you’ll unleash the virtuous qualities of every internal organ: courage, kindness, resilience, and much more. Building to the final three meditations, you’ll be guided to awaken particular aspects of the mind and their related virtues, including: • The Six Healing Sounds to awaken Higher Mind for goodwill • The Twelve Meridian Empowerment to awaken Pure Mind for benevolence • Huo Lu Gong Spirit Cultivation to awaken Spirit for peace “Our bodies contain the virtues that our world needs,” shares Robert Peng. Meditation is a powerful means to awaken these qualities and harmonize our connection to the world. When suffused with Qi, every cell becomes charged with vitality and benevolence—and you will radiate this nourishing energy wherever you go.

From Behind the Veil

A Study of Afro-American Narrative

By: Robert B. Stepto

This pioneering study of Afro-American narrative is far more critical, historical, and textual than biographical, chronological, and atextual. Robert Stepto asserts that Afro-American culture has its store of canonical stories or pregeneric myths, the primary one being the quest for freedom and literacy. This second edition includes a new preface and an afterward entitled "Distrust of the Reader in Afro-American Narratives.

Scotland's Books

A History of Scottish Literature

By: Robert Crawford

From Treasure Island to Trainspotting, Scotland's rich literary tradition has influenced writing across centuries and cultures far beyond its borders. Here, for the first time, is a single volume presenting the glories of fifteen centuries of Scottish literature. In Scotland's Books the much loved poet Robert Crawford tells the story of Scottish imaginative writing and its relationship to the country's history. Stretching from the medieval masterpieces of St. Columba's Iona - the earliest surviving Scottish work - to the energetic world of twenty-first-century writing by authors such as Ali Smith and James Kelman, this outstanding account traces the development of literature in Scotland and explores the cultural, linguistic and literary heritage of the nation. It includes extracts from the writing discussed to give a flavor of the original work, and its new research ranges from specially made translations of ancient poems to previously unpublished material from the Scottish Enlightenment and interviews with living writers. Informative and readable, this is the definitive single-volume guide to the marvelous legacy of Scottish literature.
