If your teacher commuted to school in a plane; if you had to watch out for rogue bulls rather than traffic; if your daily pick-up was done by a horse - you probably went to an outback school. this collection of more than sixty stories, gathered by Bill 'Swampy' Marsh in his travels across Australia, perfectly captures the experience of life growing up in the outback. Whether you loved school or not, these stories will bring a smile to your face and maybe even a tear to your eye, as students and teachers alike share their yarns and memories of a time gone by. ...this little kid, he spun around at me and he snapped, 'Piss off, Miss.' Of course, I immediately replied with, 'Excuse me. In this school we always use our best manners when we talk to teachers and adults. So what should we say, then?' And this little kid, well, he looked up at me all sheepish and he said, 'Well then, Miss, piss off, PLEASE.'

'Where's your thumb?' the doctor asked the injured ringer. 'Oh, we stuck it over there on the gatepost, fer safe keepin'.' And just as the doctor turned around to the gatepost, he saw a crow heading skyward, thumb and all. So I don't know how the ringer actually lost his thumb in the first place, but it had certainly gone missing after the crow had flown off with it. From the pilots, doctors and nurses who spread their 'mantle of safety' throughout the remote inland of Australia, as well as the men and women they treat on the ground, comes a brand-new collection of Flying Doctor yarns as told to master storyteller Bill 'Swampy' Marsh. Hear of those whose very lives depend on the Royal Flying Doctor Service, like the man suffering from extreme burns who rode his motorbike eighteen kilometres back across his property to get help while opening and closing every gate along the way because you 'always leave gates as you find them'. Out here, stoicism and a sense of humour go hand in hand, as in the case of the stockman with a compound leg fracture who, when asked by the Flying Doctor if it hurt, replied, 'Oh, it itches a bit.' through fog, lightning, thunder, flooding rains and dust storms, the Flying Doctor braves the elements to get to the remote outback landing strips where they're needed and the tales they live to tell will have you shaking your head in amazement. Featuring the colourful and funny work of legendary Broken Hill artist Howard William Steer, master storyteller Bill 'Swampy' Marsh once again reaches into the the heart and soul of outback Australia with stories of heroism and heartbreak and everything else it takes to live and work in this vast land of ours.

Der Neuanfang war mühsam. Zunächst einmal beherrschte eine kleine Gruppe prominenter Pazifisten aus der Weimarer Republik das deutsche Bewerberfeld für den Friedensnobelpreis nach 1945. Erst im Laufe der 1950er Jahre traten Kandidaten auf, deren Wirken sich mit dem politischen Neuanfang verband. Jedoch kehrten nicht alle exilierten Kandidaten auch nach Deutschland zurück. Durch die jüngsten militärischen Ereignisse in Europa hat dieser Band im Verlaufe seiner Entstehung unerwartet an Aktualität gewonnen. So sehr sich auf der einen Seite die Friedensideen und -konzepte sowie die praktische Friedensarbeit der Kandidaten voneinander unterschieden, so sehr einte die Generation, die zwei Weltkriege erlebt hatte, auf der anderen Seite der feste Wille, einen dritten, wohlmöglich atomaren Weltkrieg zu verhindern.Vom selben Autor sind bereits die Bände Die deutschen Friedensnobelpreiskandidaten im Kaiserreich 1901¿1918 (2017), Die deutschen Friedensnobelpreiskandidaten in der Weimarer Republik 1919¿1933 (2020) und Die deutschen Friedensnobelpreiskandidaten in der Zeit des Nationalsozialismus 1934¿1945 (2021) erschienen.

This distinctive book deconstructs the foundational elements of Russian foreign policy from a Russian perspective and with references to Russian sources, rather than the typical Western perspective. The author Olga Raluca Chiriac situates her work at the intersection of strategic studies and cognitive psychology, offering an analysis that goes deep into the roots of Russian strategic behavior, especially socio-cultural elements such as attitudes towards the West, language, culture. She highlights Russiäs unique decision-making process, sometimes overt and other times covert. The book aims to present a mechanism for analysis in both strategic choices and foreign policy, but it also points out that countries and nations are complicated entities, all having a particular historical experience, generational trauma, culture and traditions.

This book takes a fresh approach to the London Blitz by viewing this time through individual local boroughs of the metropolis. The term ¿London Blitz¿ means that culturally we have become accustomed to understanding that the actual blitz experience was the same wherever in the capital one happened to be, despite some areas being hit more than others. This book illustrates how there were many London blitzes, not one, influenced by a myriad of metropolitan localities, and giving rise to an agency of locality that helped to shape the lived blitz experience. By walking through the streets of London, this book conducts a local area analysis, witnessing the blitz through six London localities, representative of the assorted administrative, economic, and socio-political variables prevalent in wartime London. Covering air raids alongside topics like the provision of shelters, homelessness, and communal feeding, it shows how any history of the London Blitz must acknowledge that it was an experience reflective of a varied metropolis.

This book deals with a central aspect of Marx¿s critique of society that is usually not examined further since it is taken as a matter of course: its scientific claim of being true. But what concept of truth underlies his way of reasoning which attempts to comprehend the social and political circumstances in terms of the possibility of their practical upheaval? In three studies focusing specifically on the development of Marx¿s scientific critique of capitalist society, his journalistic commentaries on European politics, and his reflections on the organisation of revolutionary subjectivity, the authors carve out the immanent relation between the scientifically substantiated claim to truth and the revolutionary perspective in Marx¿s writings. They argue that Marx does not grasp the world ¿as it is¿ but conceives it as an inverted state which cannot remain what it is but generates the means by which it can eventually be overcome. This is not something to be taken lightly: Such a concept has theoretical, political and even violent consequences¿consequences that nevertheless derive neither from a subjective error nor a contamination of an otherwise ¿pure¿ science. By analyzing Marx¿s concept of truth the authors also attempt to shed light on a pivotal problematique of any modern critique of society that raises a reasoned claim of being true.

With a focus on Berlin, this assessment of transatlantic relations since 1945 emphasizes the importance of diplomacy and long-term conflict management at a time when many commentators speculate about a new cold war developing.

Urban Mobilities in Literature and Art Activism explores the entwinement of mobility and immobility in urban spaces by focusing on their representation in literary narratives but also in visual and performing arts. Across a range of geographical contexts, this volume builds on the new mobilities paradigm developed by literary scholars, sociologists and human geographers. The different chapters employ a cohesive framework that is sensitive to the intersecting dimensions of power and discrimination that shape urban kinetic features. The contributions are divided into three sections, each of which places the focus on a different aspect of urban mobility: Itinerant Subjects, Modes of Transport and Places of Transit, and Urban Liminalities.Chapter 7, "Alienation, Abjection and the Mobile Postcolonial City: Public Transport in Ousmane Sembène¿s ¿Niiwam¿ and Yvonne Veräs Without a Name" is available open access under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License via link.springer.com.

This book provides a contemporary overview of Boko Haram's activities. Since Boko Haram emerged in 2002, media-driven narratives as well as social scientific methodologies have been increasingly applied to draw generalisable conclusions on what goals the groups have pursued, what strategies it has used for these purposes and the counter campaign strategies authorities have pursued. But from 2009 to 2018, Boko Haram has pursued high-intensity violence: assassinations, bombing, kidnappings, beheading or threats of violence, conscriptions and territorial occupation. This makes it imperative to deepen and broaden our understanding of the groups¿ activities toward a problem-solving and policy-relevant analysis.Previously published in Security Journal Volume 33, issue 3, September 2020

This book gathers contributions negotiating feminism's place within medieval studies. It is about overlaps and twists, about the inseparability of multiple means of critique ¿ ecocriticism and disability studies, art history and race studies, legal history and modern activism ¿ from a feminist perspective. The feminist scholarship in this book moves in many different directions and examines the medieval past (and its role in the present) from many different angles. What remains consistent throughout is the dedication to reconfiguring medieval studies, a commitment not to be content simply with adding women on as an extra in conventional European patriarchal accounts, or with analyzing gender in history or literature without fundamentally re-envisioning the intellectual foundations upon which those fields of study have been built.Previously published in postmedieval Volume 10, issue 3, September 2019

Un testo fondamentale per ricostruire la pagina più sconosciuta e demonizzata della storia d' Italia : " L' epopea dello Squadrismo" è la prima riedizione integrale del dopoguerra del numero speciale del 1938 di Antieuropa, periodico diretto da Asvero Gravelli e dedicato, appunto, allo Squadrismo, il fenomeno rivoluzionario delle "Camicie Nere" di Benito Mussolini: una irruzione assoluta di prassi rivoluzionaria nelle società contemporanee. Il volume è un documento ( completato dall' intiero apporto di fotografie della edizione del 1938) , ma è anche un testo letterario, perché lo Squadrismo è presentato attraverso la penna dei protagonisti, fra cui si annoverano squadristi di elevato spessore culturale e con grandi capacità narrative, fra cui Italo Balbo , Piero Bolzon, Roberto Farinacci, Giuseppe Bottai e lo stesso Asvero Gravelli, saggista e scrittore oggi riscoperto da vari versanti. Pagine al fulmicotone, ma anche attenta retrospezione dello spirito squadrista e degli ideali che lo animavano, alla riscossa di una Nazione che, vincitrice di un conflitto mondiale, veniva umiliata e annichilita dagli stessi alleati di guerra, traditori come sempre. Una ampia presentazione dello storico Giacinto Reale vi farà rivivere momenti storici che la cancel cultur vuole distruggere in eterno.

Denne bog handler om konsekvenserne af tvivlsomme anbringelser af grønlandske børn, som stod på i tiden op til indførelsen af Grønlands Hjemmestyre i 1979. Det grønlandske fænomen gavebørn – en slags midlertidig adoption uden myndigheders indblanding – blev gennem tre årtier “koloniseret” af danske gæstearbejdere i Grønland, og stribevis af grønlandske børn blev sendt i pleje i danske familier, ofte uden deres forældres formelle samtykke.I dag er gavebørnene voksne – og flere er mærket af traumatiske opvækstvilkår. I Danmark var de eksotiske indslag. I Grønland var de paria, fordi de ikke talte deres eget sprog. Deres liv har været splittede – i umulig Atlant-spagat.I bogen står syv gavebørn frem og fortæller deres historie.Atlant-spagat(i) er en udgivelse med to tekstspor og kan læses på både dansk og grønlandsk.---Atuagaq una meeqqanut kalaallinut, 1979-imi Hjemmestyreqalernissap tungaanut apeqqusernartumik angerlarsimaffiup avataanut inissinneqartarsimasunut tunngavoq.

Når familie og venner samles til den traditionsrige påskefrokost, tænker man nok sjældent på, at fasten er slut, og at man nu skal fejre den kristne verdens vigtigste højtid – Jesu død og opstandelse. Påske er fortællingen om nyt liv og håb.Historiker, ph.d. Torben Svendrup beretter på sin karakteristiske og smittende måde om, hvordan Jesu lidelser fandt sted under den jødiske påske, som er en gammel frugtbarhedsfest og markerer afslutningen på slaveriet i Egypten. Vor tids kristne påske har elementer af farvestrålendeog forskelligartede middelalderskikke fra både den kirkelige og den verdslige livsverden.Fastelavn er oprindelig en stor, larmende folkefest med rod i førkristne vinter- og nytårsskikke. Efter kristendommens indførelse begyndte man denne aften før fastetiden at spise og drikke i overflod og dyrke grænseoverskridende adfærd: Fx stammer skikken med at slå en levende kat aftønden fra forestillingen om, at man herigennem kunne beskytte sig mod pestudbrud i det kommende år.Forfatteren viser gennem fund i kilder og arkiver, hvordan traditioner, skik og brug er under evig forandring. Samtidig holder vi af at kunne samles om noget årligt tilbagevendende."Da påsken kom til Danmark" kortlægger forbindelserne mellem fest og højtid og alt det, som minder os om, at foråret er på vej med sit lys, sine farver og dufte.
