Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. An examination of the causes of the Russian invasion and its implications for the futureIn February 2022 Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine, a fellow East Slav state with much shared history. Mark Edele, a world authority on the history of the Soviet Union, explains why and how this conflict came about. He considers competing historical claims and arguments with authority and lucidity. His primary focus, however, is on the different paths taken by these two former members of the Soviet Union. Since the implosion of that state in 1991, Ukraine has developed a vibrant, if often troubled, democracy. For an increasingly dictatorial Russian political elite, including but not limited to Vladimir Putin, Ukraine has appeared more and more threatening. Humiliated by the degradation of Russia's international standing, feeling betrayed by an expanding NATO and anxious about democratic revolutions in the former Soviet space, Putin and his allies have increasingly retreated into a resentful ultra-nationalism. Dreams of past imperial glory stand in place of any attempt to solve the problems of the present.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Fiftieth anniversary edition with a new foreword from Prime Minister Anthony AlbanesePassionate, pithy, learned, witty, and vigorously combative, The Truth of the Matter tells the extraordinary political story of the only Prime Minister of Australia ever deposed from office.On Remembrance Day 1975 the Governor-General of Australia, Sir John Kerr, sacked Prime Minister Gough Whitlam. The Dismissal was the culmination of almost three years of political conflict, as Whitlam's progressive Labor government rammed home legislative reform in the face of implacable and increasingly bitter conservative resistance. The focus of the Opposition's scheming was the Senate, where its leaders blocked supply in order to force a political crisis.Whitlam, famous for his 'crash through or crash' style, refused to compromise with his political enemies. At an election a month after the Dismissal, the conservatives were returned to office. Controversy and recrimination followed. Many Australians, including Whitlam himself, believed he had been the victim of a coup.In 1979 Whitlam published his own account of the events of 1975, The Truth of the Matter, an instant bestseller.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Mark Raphael Baker was no stranger to death. Over seven years he had become a mourner three times over: for his first wife, for his brother and for his father. When diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, he began to reflect on their deaths, his probable death and on Death as, in the words of Ecclesiastes, a 'season' that produced a large and bitter harvest for the Baker family. Powerful and conflicting emotions assailed him, but their destructive power was always defeated by his love of his family and of life, which never deserted him even when his spirit was most weary. Over the short course of his illness, he came to realise that to love both truly, he must die as the most authentic version of himself he can achieve. It enabled him to die with humbling grace and dignity. In A Season of Death, readers of The Fiftieth Gate and Thirty Days will rediscover the many forms of Mark's humour, his candour and his depth of thought and feeling, albeit in a different key, as it must be when those virtues reveal themselves in expressions of vulnerability that fend off self-pity. There is profound sorrow in this memoir but there is matching joy and much love, interwoven by a fine writer and thinker into a story that will deepen one's understanding of life.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. What is Donald Trump trying to achieve and where does Australia end up in all of this? What we do now will affect our destiny for the rest of this century.Turbulence: Australian Foreign Policy in the Trump Era is an indispensable manual for understanding the present and navigating the future. It addresses the serious challenges Australia faces as Trump upends geopolitical tectonic plates and shows that a shrewd calculus is at work behind the chaos. Trump wants the United States, not China, to define and control the technical standards of the global economy: in finance, telecommunications, space, robotics, bioengineering, nanotechnologies and manufacturing methods. That means full-spectrum rivalry with China. If economic control is not possible, Trumps plan B is global economic separation from China. For him to achieve these goals, there are three key front lines: Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Taiwan. In Turbulence, Clinton Fernandes explores the forces at work in each of these front lines, and the implications for Australia. Trump wants to create an illiberal order of reactionary states with undemocratic political systems committed to weakening non-Western international associations that seek a more democratic order. Fernandes investigates how Australia is trying to remain on the winning side of the global confrontation between a US-led West and an increasingly dissatisfied rest of the world, to whom Chinas outreach seems enticing. Written with deep insight and a technical mastery of many disciplines, Turbulence is required reading for all those concerned about the world and Australias role in it.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Performing in the decisive moment is key, especially in sport. The difference between who excels and who succumbs to pressure, or chokes, is literally game-changing. Nerves of Steel reveals what we can learn from athletes about thriving when the heat is on. By combining insights from statistics, philosophy and neuropsychology, Ger Post shows that the secrets of famous clutch performances do not lie in Cristiano Ronaldos iron will, the German soccer teams winning mentality or Matildas goalie Mackenzie Arnolds self-belief. Succeeding under pressure is not some heroic story of exceptional character or a sense of invincibility. Nor is it about boosting confidence, getting into a flow or thinking positively. When we look beyond the hype, stereotypes and sexism, real-world models emerge showing that high-level achievement is about doing what is right and smart, regardless of how we feel in the moment. The difference between choking and triumph is in improving our response to adversity and focusing on the things we can control when everything falls apart.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. From the outside looking in, Sandra Thom-Jones was living a successful life: she had a great career, a beautiful home, a loving family and supportive friends. But from the inside looking out, she was struggling to make sense of her place in the world, constantly feeling overwhelmed and exhausted, and convinced that her challenges with daily life just meant that she had to try harder. In Growing in to Autism, Sandra tells the story of gradually realising she was autistic, and that she experienced the world in ways which were markedly different from non-autistic people. Applying her skills as an experienced and expert researcher, Sandra delved into the literature on autism in adults, learning much more than she had already known as a parent of two autistic boys. Part personal, funny, and enlightening memoir, and part rigorous explication of the nature of autism, Growing in to Autism is a book for everyone. This updated edition includes a revised preface and afterword, in which Sandra reflects on reader responses, how the book has furthered her own growth, and the subsequent changes in her life. Reader feedback has also inspired a fully updated chapter on autistic strengths. In the words of her readers, Growing in to Autism helps autistic people feel understood, validated and less alone. It also gives non-autistic readers a genuine insight into ways of understanding and making space for a group of individuals in our society who have so much to offer.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. No one thinks about how well they are coping with lifes daily stresses until they are not. Coping in Good Times and Bad brings together what we know about coping so we can create a life of health, joy, satisfaction, resilience and wellbeing, with an update on how to deal with the newer pressures of cost of living. Coping and resilience have become very commonly used words, especially in our world full of stresses, both big and small, along with the challenges that confront us, so what we need is a template for a good life. Decades of research, teaching and professional practice have provided psychologist Erica Frydenberg with intimate insight into how and why we cope well and not so well, and practical ways of developing and refining our coping strategies. Integrating coping with key proven ideas in contemporary psychology such as emotional intelligence, mindset, mindfulness and grit, she goes beyond focusing on particular kinds of crisestrauma, relationship breakdown, anxietyto addressing the need for a framework that strengthens us through life, in good times and bad. Im impressed by the breadth of its scope and by the constant references back to the research that underpins it Im not sure if masterpiece has become an unacceptable term these days I hope not, because thats what [this book] is.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Vulture capitalism has seen the corporation become more powerful than the state, and yet its work is often done by stealth, supported by political and media elites. The result is privatised wars and outsourced detention centres. Mining companies pillaging precious land in developing countries and struggling nations are invaded by NGOs and the corporate dollar.Best-selling journalist Antony Loewenstein travels to Afghanistan, Pakistan, Haiti, Papua New Guinea and across Australia to witness the reality of this largely hidden world of privatised detention centres, the cost of cheap clothing manufacturing and militarised private security. Who is involved and why? Can it be stopped? What are the alternatives in a globalised world? Profits of Doom challenges the fundamentals of our unsustainable way of life and the money-making imperatives driving it.Endorsements for Profits of Doom:'In Australia, so often bereft of voices of dissent and courage, Antony Loewenstein's tenacious work stands out. Profits of Doom is a journey into a world of mutated economics and corrupt politics that we ignore at our peril.' - John Pilger, independent investigative journalist, author and documentary film-maker'A great exercise in joining the dots, on essential terrain that too often is ignored. At a time when rapacious private interests campaign to destroy government - so they can cash in on its absence - Loewenstein reports from the frontline in an insidious war.' - Paul McGeough, author of Kill Khalid and chief foreign correspondent for The Sydney Morning Herald'The competition for the most depraved example of the predatory state capitalism of the Reagan-Thatcher neoliberal era is fierce. In this chilling study, based on careful and courageous reporting, and illuminated with perceptive analysis, Antony Loewenstein presents many competitors for the prize, while also helping us understand all too well the saying that man is a wolf to man.' - Noam Chomsky, Institute Professor at MIT and Professor of Linguistics and Philosophy, political activist and author'Profits of Doom nails the mad idea that the drive for profits will create global wellbeing. Antony Loewenstein delivers a spine-chilling account of the post 9/11 world taken over by vulture capitalism and its political cronies. And this is what we are voting for.' - Bob Brown, former leader of the Australian Greens and director of Sea Shepherd'Antony Loewenstein's Profits of Doom is a powerful indictment of the corporations and governments across the globe whose unquenchable thirst for resources and power threaten the stability - perhaps even the very existence - of the planet. Loewenstein is no armchair academic or cubicle journalist. The stories in the book are the product of years embedded, in military and economic warzones, with the disempowered of the world, the people from Pakistan to Papua New Guinea and beyond who have the audacity and bravery to fight back against all odds. Loewenstein's keen sense of justice is evident on every page of this book as he gives voice to the voiceless and confronts the powerful. Profits of Doom is a devastating, incisive follow-up to Naomi Klein's The Shock Doctrine.' - Jeremy Scahill, international best-selling author of Dirty Wars and Blackwater Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The character of war is constantly changing, and so too must the approach to national security. But Australias defence policy is broken. Successive governments have not approached the nations security with the intelligence, resoluteness and seriousness it requires. After more than 120 years of defence policy centred on dependency, the geopolitical situation demands new thinking by politicians and policymakers to secure the nation for the future. In light of technological progress, the shifting balance of power in the Pacific and the worsening danger of climate change, Australia needs a new approach in order to charts its own course. In The Big Fix, defence strategist Albert Palazzo proposes a defence policy centred on the strategic defensive, which presents the best military fit for Australia, given its geography and the current state of military technology. Crucially, he elevates climate change to primacy in the national security hierarchy and explains how we cannot afford to ignore it as a security factor. And he asks: what is stopping Australias leaders from seriously considering other options for the nations security?
