Some of the greatest mysteries of the universe are questions that remain unanswered. Where did life on Earth come from? Since Earth exists in space, can life exist elsewhere in our galaxy? And if life does exist throughout the universe, where are all the aliens?Welcome to Fermi's paradox, defined as the clear lack of evidence for alien life in our universe despite the seemingly endless opportunities for it to emerge and flourish. It is a mystery that continues to spark the imaginations of people worldwide.Nowadays we are alone in the midst of the Great Silence that surrounds us. But what are the conditions for alien life forms to evolve on a planet and subsequently contact us?And how can we justify our loneliness, based on the idea that there are other living beings?This book discusses and examines the possible solutions to this paradox and also how they reflect on us, our past and our future.

Brief Lives: Sigmund Freud

Brief Lives: Sigmund Freud

David Carter

Hesperus Press Ltd
2011
isokokoinen pokkari
Freud is a figure needing no introduction, yet his reputation owes as much to myth as to the facts of his life and work. Despite his groundbreaking work on theories including the functioning of the subconscious, the repression of trauma, and the psychological import of dreams, he has frequently been the subject of derision and even ridicule. David Carter here uncovers the man buried beneath the mythology, tracing the life of this inimitable figure from his origins as the gifted first of eight children born to Jewish parents in mid-nineteenth-century Austria, through his stellar academic career and the relationships and rifts with figures such as Josef Breuer. An essential read for anyone wishing to understand the life, times and work of this most seminal of theorists, Brief Lives: Sigmund Freud is published alongside Freud On Cocaine.

Inception

Inception

David Carter

Auteur Publishing
2018
pokkari
Christopher Nolan's Inception (2010) is a difficult film to categorize. It partakes of various genres, blurring the distinctions between them. It is science fiction, but it does not contain many of the ingredients associated with that genre. It can also be identified as a kind of heist film, and there are shades of film noir as well, not only because of the heist motifs but also due to its character types. It can also be described as psychological thriller, telling the story of one man's attempt to flee his past and regain access to his family, of his coming to terms with the death of his wife. In addition, it plays with time, questioning the certainty of consciously experienced real time, and revealing that the personal experience of the passing of time is variable. The film also explores the nature of the mind and how dreams are related to the conscious and unconscious mind. David Carter's contribution to the Constellation series covers all of these facets of a complex yet highly successful film, as well as considering it in the context of the director's other work.

Always Almost Modern

Always Almost Modern

David Carter

Australian Scholarly Publishing
2013
nidottu
Was australian culture born modern or has it always been behind the game, never quite modern enough? Was it always already or only always almost modern? David Carter's essays examine the complex engagements of Australian writers, artists, editors and consumers with 20th-century modernity, social and political crisis, and the impact of modernisms. Always Almost Modern ranges from the great mid-century novels of authors such as Eleanor Dark and M. Barnard Eldershaw to the unprecedented bestseller that was They're a Weird Mob, from famous to largely forgotten local magazines and to film and television, and from the avant-garde to nationalism, communism and the middlebrow. Chapters engage with key themes in contemporary literary and cultural studies, exploring new ways of understanding Australian culture in terms of its modernity and transnationalism.

A Guide to a Multi-Domain Model of Living and Education

A Guide to a Multi-Domain Model of Living and Education

David Carter; Peter Caffrey

Austin Macauley Publishers
2024
nidottu
Navigating the complexities of school life can be a daunting task for young people, educators, and parents alike. This book aims to provide practical guidance and insights to those who find themselves struggling in the educational landscape. While grounded in academic theory and evidence-based research, the primary focus of this book is on offering tangible solutions and real-world examples. Through a series of stories, vignettes, and problem-solving scenarios, the authors explore the challenges faced by students, teachers, and parents from various perspectives. By delving into these narratives, readers are likely to find answers to the questions that prompted them to pick up this book in the first place. The authors propose a model for change called the Multidomain Model of Education and Living (MDM), which aims to facilitate and enhance collaborative relationships between home and school, as well as within these two domains. Rather than advocating for sweeping, top-down changes that are often met with resistance, the MDM offers a flexible framework that can be adapted in part or in its entirety to suit the unique needs of each school community. The authors draw upon their own experiences in the Irish education system to illustrate how these ideas can be further developed and implemented. By inviting parents, guardians, pupils, and school staff to consider incorporating elements of the MDM into their own schools, the book serves as a catalyst for meaningful dialogue and incremental change. Ultimately, the authors believe that lasting transformation in Irish education will not come from above or below, but rather from the middle, where people come together to engage in open and constructive conversations. This book is a vital contribution to that ongoing dialogue.

Child Of Orion

Child Of Orion

David Carter Kaut

Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
2011
nidottu
A fictional story set in set in a non-fictional, however often controversial account of the history of the world, Child of Orion mines the planet's past to reveal its abiding, eternal truths. Anyone fascinated by the history of the world and its people-from the ages of eight to eighty and in any country-will find a revelatory read in this stirring work of historical creative non-fiction. In the story, a fictional tribe in Asia crosses the Bering Sea during the last Ice Age. The tribe's leader, Etok, who brought the Oshons to the Americas, appears in the story over the arc of centuries, in succeeding generations for 15,000 years that represent a transition from Asian to American Indian. The Oshons are patterned after the Clovis Indians, about whom little is known other than their unique method of creating knives and spears. When aliens from another world establish three great, civilized city states on Earth, they begin to include earthlings. After a brief flurry of wars with the more hostile inhabitants of Earth, an idealist era reigns, during which peace and plenty exist almost everywhere on earth for two thousand years. As the aliens intermarry with the Earth inhabitants, the peaceful nature and compassion of the original aliens is diluted and the great powers are soon at war. The outcome of this war is never determined, because in the midst of the war earth is struck by a natural disaster of global proportions. All of the civilized states and most of the people of earth are destroyed. The few survivors who lived in the center of continents and high in the mountains are left to struggle to survive and repopulate the planet. Compressing 15,000 years of history into less than 50,000 words, Child of Orion seeks to uncover the enigmas of this planet by relating the author's account of the true history of the world, as established by Kaut's forty years of study and discovery. Surprising and hopeful, it provides a taste of history seldom taught in the classroom that is wrapped in a wealth of knowledge of ancient man and the planet he inhabited. It is certain to shed shimmering new light on the human experience, and set anyone on the course for greater truth.

Australian Books and Authors in the American Marketplace 1840s-1940s

David Carter; Roger Osborne

Sydney University Press
2018
pokkari
**{::}Shortlisted for the Walter McRae Russell Award 2019{::}***** *Australian Books and Authors in the American Marketplace 1840s–1940s explores how Australian writers and their works were present in the United States before the mid-20th century to a much greater degree than previously acknowledged. Drawing on fresh archival research and combining the approaches of literary criticism, print culture studies and book history, David Carter and Roger Osborne demonstrate that Australian writing was transnational long before the contemporary period. In mapping Australian literature’s connections to British and US markets, their research challenges established understandings of national, imperial and world literatures.Carter and Osborne examine how Australian authors, editors and publishers engaged productively with their American counterparts, and how American readers and reviewers responded to Australian works. They consider the role played by British publishers and agents in taking Australian writing to America, and creating new opportunities for novelists to move between markets.Some of these writers, such as Christina Stead and Patrick White, remain household names; others who once enjoyed international fame, such as Dale Collins and Alice Grant Rosman, have been largely forgotten. The story of their books in America reveals how culture, commerce and copyright law interacted to create both opportunities and obstacles for Australian writers.

"A brave and honest account that would be a wonderful resource not only for couples that are considering adopting children, but also their friends and family members to help them to understand their emotional roller coaster." - Adrian Jones" A refreshing and honest account of the up's and down's of adoption. Very thought provoking. It is unusual to read a book where the husband and wife separately retell their story of why and how they came to the the courageous decision to adopt. I have read various adoption books about the process so found it very refreshing to hear it from a different perspective. I particularly enjoyed hearing the Nan's viewpoint " - LisaThis book is a must-read for anyone considering adoption, and their friends and family.It's the real life story of Jane and David adopting two related children. It takes you on their journey from trying IVF, to the agony of infertility and endometriosis. It takes you through their whole adoption journey in detail, which is helpful for those who'd like an insight into what it's actually like preparing to adopt children.It's an heartfelt account, describing the whirlwind of emotions and the toll it took on them as parents. It gives you the truth about what social workers expect of you, what can go wrong when trying to adopt, and how to parent an adopted child.Overall it's a story of positivity, inspiration, and the joy adoption can bring. Written from the separate viewpoints of a Mum, Dad, Grandmother, and also the children-it will give you a rare insight into the experiences of the whole family...which is useful to show to those people, so they can understand what you will be going through. Most adoption books are written from only the women's point of view, so it is really useful to show David's chapters to Men trying to adopt.Authentic and easy to read, their journey shows what it's really like preparing to be approved by the Adoption Panel, being 'matched' with a child, 'Introductions', and getting the Adoption Order to legally adopt your child in the UK.The book also includes case studies of other families who adopted. Some adopted due to infertility...others were single women with a strong urge to have children.Adopting a baby or child for life is not a quick or easy endeavour-but it can be enormously rewarding.This adoption book helps you realise that you are not alone.ExtractWe had a few days to prepare-we had to buy a cot, tell the family, squeal and dance around the lounge.We started visiting the foster carers house and taking Summer out to the park. Then they brought her over to our house for a visit, and eventually, she stayed overnight. After two weeks we were all exhausted from the travel and emotion. We also hadn't been told that her routine was getting up at 4 a.m. every day.She didn't sleep very well, and of course, it was very stressful on her as this was her second big move, and the first she could remember. Her foster family were her family, so she was confused and upset.The foster family had looked after her for ten months and really struggled to let go emotionally. Had they been younger, they would have no doubt adopted Summer themselves.We were still involved with the social workers-she would visit every few days to check we were doing okay. It was no doubt to help us, and they did give us some good advice, but it felt like an intrusion and an added pressure to demonstrate we were "coping". We got the hang of the logistics, but Summer cried a lot and continued sleeping poorly. We started going to toddler groups and everyone assumed I'd given birth. Summer attached to me really quickly but rejected David. He chatted to one of the other adopting Dads, who suggested David could...

This book is a collection of folk tales from both North and South Korea. They have been selected by the authors, with contemporary English speakers in mind, from thousands of such tales. The authors have retold and translated the tales so that they read well and also retain a quintessentially Korean aesthetic quality. In this book readers will find themselves in an exotic world of ancient Oriental charms and wonders. They will encounter traditional Korean dragons, heavenly maidens, dokkaebis (goblins), bluebirds and many eccentric characters such as naughty children, greedy men and strange old people. Many of the tales involve Shamanistic, Buddhist and Taoist cosmology, transporting readers into a surrealistic fantasy world. As in folk tales from other cultures, a considerable number of protagonists in this book face distressing situations and eventually overcome them. These sequences are usually depicted through humour, jest and wit, which will have readers smile in recognition. Korean folk tales have not been widely translated into English. This book will provide an opportunity for readers to develop a good insight into the unique properties of Korean folk tales.
