Australia's Birthstain : The startling legacy of the convict era (English Edition) PDF - ePUB

Australia's Birthstain : The startling legacy of the convict era (English Edition) PDF - ePUB »Why is it that Australians are still misled by myths about their convict heritage? Why are so many family historians surprised to find a convict ancestor in their family trees? Why did an entire society collude to cover up its past?
Babette Smith traces the stories of hundreds of convicts over the 80 years of convict transportation to Australia. Putting a human face on the convicts' experience, she paints a rich picture of their crimes in Britain and their lives in the colonies. We know about Port Arthur, Norfolk Island, chaingangs and floggings, but this was far from the experience of most. In fact, most convicts became good citizens and the backbone of the new nation. So why did we need to hide them away?
Australia's Birthstain rewrites the story of Australia's convict foundations, revealing the involvement of British politicians and clergy in creating a birthstain that reached far beyond convict crimes. Its startling conclusion offers a fresh perspective on our past.
'Babette Smith's arguments will be hotly debated, but there is no doubting the fascination or drama of this study of the stain we pretend is not there.' - Thomas Keneally, Booker prize winning novelist and author of The Commonwealth of Thieves
'Smith shows how the shame about Australia's convict origins ... continues to influence the way we view our history ... an important book.' - David Day in The Age

The Legal Aspects of the Community Trade Mark PDF - ePUB

The Legal Aspects of the Community Trade Mark PDF - ePUB »This book is a practical guide to the legal aspects of the Community trade mark, which is an intellectual property right created by an European Council Regulation of December 1993, and which entered into force on 1 April 1996. The main attraction of the Community trade mark is that it enables an applicant to obtain and maintain, with only one registration, trade mark protection throughout the 15 Member States of the European Union (rather than having to obtain and maintain the registration of essentially the same trade mark in each of those countries). The Community trade mark system is administered by the Office for Harmonisation in the Internal Market (Trade Marks and Designs) (OHIM), which is an agency of the European Union. The Community trade mark system has been surprisingly successful since its inception; it is expected that there will, by the end of the year 2000, have been approximately 200,000 applications for a Community trade mark. The aim of this book is to describe how the Community trade mark system works and what procedures it follows, as well as to draw attention to issues of potential concern for any Community trade mark proprietor. The text is thus anchored on the European Union Regulations which set out the rules for the Community trade mark system, and then critically analyses how those Regulations have so far been applied in practice. This analysis notably involves an examination of the administrative practices developed by the OHIM and its various divisions in respect of the Community trade mark, including a detailed review of the case law developed through early September 2000 by the Boards of Appeal of the OHIM. As it is possible to challenge decisions of the OHIM before the Court of Justice of the European Communities, this analysis also incorporates a study of the case law developed by that Court either in respect of, or which is otherwise relevant to, Community trade marks.

Herodotus: Volume 2: Herodotus and the World PDF - ePUB

Herodotus: Volume 2: Herodotus and the World PDF - ePUB »The ancient historian Herodotus, the Father of History, is also considered a great anthropologist. In his account of the Persian invasions of Greece in the fifth century BCE, he searches for the forces that transformed Persians from an underprivileged nation into the rulers of the largest empire of antiquity. In his Histories , he explores the non-Hellenic peoples that were either conquered by the Persians or managed to resist or elude their aggression, such as the Lydians, Egyptians, Libyans, Scythians, and Thracians, and describes the lands they inhabit, their resources, customs, religious rituals, and cultural predisposition. This second volume of the Oxford Readings in Classical Studies on Herodotus focuses on his description of foreign lands and peoples, and on the theoretical issues it raises. The selected essays look at the principles of Herodotus' research concerning the physical world in the light of traditional myth and the science of his times, and deal with the connections between travelling and storytelling, culture and gender, Hellenic and barbarian religions, and memory and ethnicity - all within the context of his insistence on the basic unity of human experience. Central to this collection is the extent to which the Histories's ethnographic portrayals conform to conventional Greek constructs of barbarian 'otherness', or derive from field-work and direct contact with native sources.

Chasing the Rose: An Adventure in the Venetian Countryside PDF - ePUB

Chasing the Rose: An Adventure in the Venetian Countryside PDF - ePUB »From the author of the best-selling A Venetian Affair, here is the charming chronicle of his search for the identity of a mysterious old rose. Andrea di Robilant’s tale takes us back to the time of Josephine Bonaparte, as well as into some of the most delightful rose gardens in Italy today, brought to colorful life on the page in the watercolors of artist Nina Fuga.
 
In his 2008 biography of the Venetian lady Lucia Mocenigo (his great-great-great-great- grandmother), di Robilant described a pink rose that grows wild on the family’s former country estate, mentioning its light peach-and-raspberry scent. This passing detail led to an invitation for an audience with a local rose doyenne, Eleonora Garlant. She and other experts wondered if di Robilant’s unnamed rose could possibly be one of the long-lost China varieties that nineteenth-century European growers had cultivated but which have since disappeared. On the hunt for the identity of his anonymous yet quietly distinctive rose, Di Robilant finds himself captivated by roseophiles through time––from Lucia and her friend Josephine Bonaparte to the gifted Eleonora, whose garden of nearly fifteen hundred varieties of old roses is one of the most significant in Europe––and by the roses themselves, each of which has a tale to tell.

What starts out as a lighthearted quest becomes a meaningful journey as di Robilant contemplates the enduring beauty of what is passed down to us in a rose, through both the generosity of nature and the cultivating hand of human beings, who for centuries have embraced and extended the life of this mysterious flower.

Human Language Evolution: As Coframed by Behavioural and Psychological Universalism (English Edition) PDF - ePUB

Human Language Evolution: As Coframed by Behavioural and Psychological Universalism (English Edition) PDF - ePUB »

Human speech is one of the most fascinating realms of study on earth, and the diversity of languages is overwhelming. In Human Language Evolution, author Dr. Owi Nandi explores the results of his long-term study delving into the origin of spoken language and his search for common patterns among all language families.

In an effort to compare and connect recent developments in linguistics and in the study of human evolution via genomic sequencing, Nandi's study shows how various languages use similar sounds for words with similar meanings. It also demonstrates that these similarities may have evolved from human facial expressions caused by emotions like fear, alertness, joy, pleasure, or pain. Covering thirty-four world languages, Nandi discusses the psychological background of an array of words-such as counting, evil, hurting, scratching, coughing, thinking, father-and compares those among other languages.

Seasoned with notes on psychological backgrounds, Human Language Evolution provides rich insight into the whys of universally conserved linguistic patterns in light of the 170,000-year history of modern mankind, transcending the reaches of traditional etymology.

David Bach, founder of FinishRich Media and author of nine New York Times bestsellers, including Debt Free for Life and The Automatic Millionaire. "Goodwin has done the seemingly impossible - he has made economics comprehensible and funny" Joel Bakan, author of The Corporation : The Pathological Pursuit of Profit and Power. "An amazing lesson in true-world economics ! Delightfully presented, powerful, insightful, and important information ! What a fun way to fathom a deep and often dark subject !" John Perkins, author of Hoodwinked and the New York Times bestseller Confessions of an Economic Hit Man. "Keynes, Friedman, and Adam Smith battle it out panel by panel. You'll never think of economics as the `dismal' science again" Andrew Leonard, staff writer for Salon.com. "Smart, insightful, clear, and as close to the truth as economics can get. The bonus : Who would have guessed that economics could be fun, and - here's the joy - really accessible ? Goodwin roots us in history and fills us with common-sense understanding. If I were compiling a list of the one hundred most important books you can read in a lifetime, this would be on it" Stephen Petranek, editor-in-chief of the Weider History Group, former editor-in-chief of Discover magazine. "Through a potent mix of comics and punchy, concise, accessible prose, Goodwin takes us on a provocative, exhaustively researched, and exceedingly engaging trip through our history and present day... If your mind either spins or slumbers at the thought of economics, read Goodwin's Economix and all will become clear" Nomi Prins, author of It Takes a Pillage : An Epic Tale of Power, Deceit, and Untold Trillions.

Goodwin has a knack for distilling complex ideas and events in ways that invite the reader to follow the big picture without losing track of what actually happened" Timothy W.

L'auteur a enseigne la litterature latine pendant pres de quarante ans aux universites de Poitiers, puis de Nanterre. Grace a cet enseignement, la frequentation toujours plus intime des textes a tres tot oriente son interet vers les poetes latins du 1er siecle avant notre ere en qui lui semblait decouvrir de tres grandes beautes poetiques. Certes, sans parler de l'obstacle de la langue, ces poetes ont oeuvre dans un contexte politique, social et culturel qui ne ressemble pas a celui du XXe siecle finissant. Les codes qui presidaient au choix de leurs images et de leurs metaphores restent etrangers a qui n'est pas arme par la philosophie pour les decrypter. Mais n'appartient-il pas au specialiste de rendre permeable cette facade rebarbative pour faire apercevoir au-dela certaines valeurs universelles ? Aussi bien n'est-ce pas un hasard si, precedemment, l'auteur a intitule un livre : Virgile, son temps et le notre. Depuis plus de dix ans, l'usage que les poetes latins de la fin de la Republique ont fait du mythe de l'age d'or a pique la curiosite de l'auteur. Ses recherches l'ont convaincu que derriere ce vieux mythe, se livrait un debat passionne dont les enjeux n'etaient autres que la notion meme de liberte et la capacite de l'imagination poetique a engendrer le bonheur. Il lui a paru qu'il pouvait valoir la peine de faire partager a d'autres cette conviction.

An Amazon Charts, Wall Street Journal, and Washington Post bestseller.

In an unforgettable love story, a woman's impossible journey through the ages could change everything...

Anne Gallagher grew up enchanted by her grandfather's stories of Ireland. Heartbroken at his death, she travels to his childhood home to spread his ashes. There, overcome with memories of the man she adored and consumed by a history she never knew, she is pulled into another time.

The Ireland of 1921, teetering on the edge of war, is a dangerous place in which to awaken. But there Anne finds herself, hurt, disoriented, and under the care of Dr. Thomas Smith, guardian to a young boy who is oddly familiar. Mistaken for the boy's long-missing mother, Anne adopts her identity, convinced the woman's disappearance is connected to her own.

As tensions rise, Thomas joins the struggle for Ireland's independence and Anne is drawn into the conflict beside him. Caught between history and her heart, she must decide whether she's willing to let go of the life she knew for a love she never thought she'd find. But in the end, is the choice actually hers to make?

Examining Access to Nutrition Care in Outpatient Cancer Centers: Proceedings of a Workshop PDF - ePUB

Examining Access to Nutrition Care in Outpatient Cancer Centers: Proceedings of a Workshop PDF - ePUB »

An estimated 90 percent of oncology patients in the United States receive treatment in outpatient cancer centers and clinics. This change from the older model of inpatient care has important implications for overall quality of care for oncology patients and nutritional care in particular. Amidst growing concern about access to oncology nutrition services, combined with growing recognition of the importance of providing nutritional care to optimize oncology treatment outcomes and maximize quality of life among both patients and survivors of cancer, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine convened a public workshop in March 2016 to explore evolving interactions between nutritional care, cancer, and health outcomes.

Participants explored how health outcomes and survival of cancer patients in outpatient cancer centers are affected by current standards for nutritional services, nutritional interventions, and benefits associated with oncology patient access to medical nutrition therapy. They also studied the cost of outpatient nutritional care and assessed costa "benefit relationships between oncology nutrition services and health outcomes and survival. This publication summarizes the presentations and discussions from the workshop.

Geodynamics of the Lithosphere: An Introduction (English Edition) PDF - ePUB

Geodynamics of the Lithosphere: An Introduction (English Edition) PDF - ePUB »The large scale structure of the earth is caused by geodynamic processes which are explained using energetic, kinematic and dynamic descriptions. While "geodynamic processes" are understood to include a large variety of processes and the term is used by earth scientists quite loosely, the methods of their description involve well defined fields. Energetic descriptions are in­ volved with distribution of energy in our planet, typically expressed in terms of heat and temperature. Kinematic descriptions describe movements using velocities, strains and strain rates and Dynamic descriptions indicate how stresses and forces behave. As structural and metamorphic geologists we document in the field only the consequences of geological processes. The underlying causes are much harder to constrain directly. However, it is absolutely crucial to understand these causes or: "driving forces", if we are to explain the tectonic evolution of our planet. This book deals with the dynamic description of geological processes. Our descriptions relate causes and consequences - tectonic processes with field observations. In many cases, we will use equations as a concise form to describe processes and observations in nature. As we will be dealing mostly with large scale tectonic questions, the observations that we shall use are also on a large scale. For example, we shall use observations on the elevation (Fig. 1.1, 1.2) and heat flow of mountain ranges, the thickness of continents and the water depth of the oceans.

James Ensor: Collection Musee Royal Bx-Arts Anvers PDF - ePUB »James Ensor est, apres Peter Paul Rubens, l'artiste le plus important, en Belgique. Au Musee Royal des Beaux-Arts d'Anvers, les tableaux " La mangeuse d'huitres ", les interieurs bourgeois, marines et etudes de la periode realiste des debuts d'Ensor, " Adam et Eve ", " Les Anges rebelles ", " L'etonnement du masque Wouse ", " Squelettes se disputant ", " L'homme de douleurs " et la plus belle composition de masques d'Ensor, " L'intrigue ", sont exposes dans deux salles. Nulle part au monde ne sont exposees en permanence autant d'oeuvres d'Ensor. Pourtant, ceci est loin de constituer la totalite de la collection Ensor du musee.

Cet ouvrage se veut un panorama de l'entiere collection de tableaux, enrichi d'un choix representatif de la collection de dessins, afin que le lecteur puisse prendre connaissance de la plenitude du trajet artistique qu'Ensor a accompli en plus de cinquante ans.

It shows how such paths may include complex theology and high ethical conduct. There are also explicit and complete instructions for spiritual development, including channeling, psychic self-defense, working with spirits, and sex magick.

Ascendance: Dave vs. the Monsters PDF - ePUB »For fans of Jim Butcher and Kevin Hearne comes an exhilarating new urban fantasy series featuring monster-slayer Dave Hooper and his magical splitting maul.
 
Kids, there are no monsters under the bed. They’re in the front yard.
 
As a hardworking monster-slayer, Dave Hooper tries not to bring his work home with him. But nowadays it’s hard to keep them separate. Email, cellphones, empath daemons, they never let a guy rest.
 
The Horde has been raising hell and leveling cities from New York to Los Angeles, keeping Dave and his fellow monster-killer, Russian spy Karin Varatchevsky, very busy. But when the legions of hell invade the small seaside town his boys call home, Dave has to make a call. Save the world? Or save his family?
 
Not as easy a choice as you’d think, since Dave’s ex-wife expects to be saved too. And there’s no convincing her that the supersexy Russian spy isn’t his girlfriend. She’s just his sidekick—and an assassin.

Analysing Social Work Communication: Discourse in Practice (Routledge Advances in Social Work) (English Edition) PDF - ePUB

Analysing Social Work Communication: Discourse in Practice (Routledge Advances in Social Work) (English Edition) PDF - ePUB »

With communication and relationships at the core of social work, this book reveals the way it is foremost a practice that becomes reality in dialogue, illuminating some of the profession’s key dilemmas. Applied discourse studies illustrate the importance of talk and interaction in the construction of everyday and institutional life.

This book provides a detailed review and illustration of the contribution of discourse approaches and studies on professional interaction to social work. Concentrating on how social workers carry out their work in everyday organisational encounters with service users and colleagues, each chapter uses case studies analysing real-life social work interactions to explore a concept that has relevance both in discursive studies and in social work. The book thus demonstrates what detailed discursive studies on interaction can add to professional social work theories and discussions. Chapters on categorization, accountability, boundary work, narrative, advice-giving, resistance, delicacy and reported speech, review the literature and discuss how the concept has been developed and how it can be applied to social work.

The book encourages professional reflection and the development of rigorous research methods, making it particularly appropriate for postgraduate and post-qualifying study in social work where participants are encouraged to examine their own professional practice. It is also essential reading for social work academics and researchers interested in language, communication and relationship-based work and in the study of professional practices more generally.
