THE GRIPPING NEW THRILLER FROM THE AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR OF BETTER THE BLOOD AND RETURN TO BLOOD. In the depths of the bleak New Zealand winter comes the rising of Matariki – a sacred constellation in Maori culture, heralding a time of new beginnings. For former Detective Senior Sergeant Hana Westerman, life is good: her work in her hometown of Tata Bay is going well, the community is thriving, and her daughter Addison is getting engaged. But this Matariki brings unwelcome change. When Hana’s ex-husband Jaye walks into an Auckland liquor store and directly across the path of a gunman, their family’s hard-won peace is shattered. With the stakes at their highest, Hana finds herself picking up a path she thought she’d never return to. Desperate for answers, she rejoins the police to help scour the city for the unidentified shooter. But as the investigation progresses, she finds herself unprepared for the darkness of the world she is entering. A darkness much closer to home than she knows. ‘Marries a crash course in Maori culture with a gripping mystery . . . The good news is that Westerman will be back’ The Times, Best Crime & Thrillers of 2025 ‘Cogently plotted and well-written, this novel brings a new perspective to Maori culture’ Belfast Telegraph ‘With Australian thrillers doing well right now, New Zealand’s hot on their heels’ Peterborough Telegraph

The Secular Sacred

The Secular Sacred

Michael Bennett

Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
2014
nidottu
The Secular Sacred starts with a concern for the loss of meaning and moral motivation that followed the decline of religious and traditional values subsequent to the attack on them from relativism and postmodernism. It investigates how we might find a new basis for moral action that rests on a rational and secular foundation. Drawing on Habermas's theory of communicative action it argues that, within communication, there are inherent presuppositions that are universal. This work proposes that we can approach these universals (truth, justice and authenticity) as a basis for an understanding of a secular sense of the sacred.Following a brief critique of multiculturalism The Secular Sacred suggests that religions still articulate an interesting approach to such deep existential issues as loss, suffering and death. All of these fail to find an adequate response in rationalist cultures. It seeks to 'translate' such religious concepts as anamnesis, consolation, the Kingdom of God, the sacred, redemption and sin into a secular framework that can inspire moral motivation.Because reason is an insufficient source of moral motivation it investigate how narratives, which act like myths, can be reflexively constituted and interpreted. The rich symbolic texture of myths can be a powerful means of encouraging people to engage in an identification with the values enshrined in the secular sacred. Myths have a strong connection with ritual practices. It explores this relationship and proposes that it is perfectly possible to create new rituals that consciously know themselves to be rituals and are, nevertheless, able to provide support for the psychological transformations that myths can procure.This reflexive approach to the secular sacred and myths is based on the cognitive, emotional and psychological competence of people. Throughout there is an investigation into how these competencies work and a consideration into a range of aspects of selfhood (autonomy, authenticity, intersubjectivity, decentredness). These competencies, assisted by mythological narratives and rituals, are essential in enabling an identification with a secular sacred that can provide a basis for moral motivation.

The Practice of Philosophy in Plato and Plotinus

The Practice of Philosophy in Plato and Plotinus

Michael Bennett

Resource Publications (CA)
2018
pokkari
Plato said over 2,500 years ago that ""an unexamined life for a man is not worth living."" To examine one's life, on a regular basis, cannot but lead to a consideration of virtue, which in turn leads to a search for the Good, which both Plato and Plotinus say all men naturally seek. What we call a good informs the value system we live by, but a good can only reflect the Good, if it is good for our soul and the soul of our neighbor, any more than we can claim virtue with a mote in our eye. Are the wrongs perceived in society also in ourselves, for where else could they have come from? So we need a different kind of inquiry and a different order of reflection; an inquiry that reveals errors in how we see things and a reflection that seeks a spiritual dimension to how we see things. It does not matter if it is called contemplation or meditation, for the principle of prayer has been with us ever since man first intimated the presence of the Divine. Michael Bennett is a retired secondary school teacher of English, which took up half this working life. The first half of his working life, after leaving secondary school, was spent working in the specialist field of chemical environmental analysis, with a developing interest in education. Previous practical interests have included poetry and painting; current interests are Platonism and the Platonic tradition through the Middle Ages.

Lunch with the Kaiser

Lunch with the Kaiser

Michael Bennett

Independently Published
2019
pokkari
'Lunch with the Kaiser' reveals the complex interaction of the European powers during the crisis of July 1914. Its conclusion, as to where responsibility for the outbreak of war should lie, challenges the accepted view in the English speaking world of the war being a product of German aggression, replacing it with a evidenced based narrative detailing how Austrian recklessness, Russian precipitation, German miscalculation and French ambition combined to set Europe on the path to war. The British decision is shown to have had as much to do with a policy miscalculation that had left its 'far flung and poorly defended empire' vulnerable to a resurgent Russia, as stopping the creation of a German hegemony in Europe. Based on a series of fictional interviews with Kaiser Wilhelm II, during October 1938 as he lived out his old age in exile, the book combines narrative history with a vivid account of this complex man, who was at the centre of late nineteenth and early twentieth century European history. Wilhelm is not absolved of responsibility for the outbreak of war, but his decisions are placed in the context of those made by others in Vienna, St Petersburg, Berlin, Paris and London.

There are few Aboriginal icons in white Australian history. From the explorer to the pioneer, the swagman to the drover’s wife, Europeans predominate. Perhaps the only exception is the redoubtable tracker who, with skills passed down by generation after generation for over 65,000 years, read the signs and traced the movement of people across the land.The saviour of many and cursed by the wayward, trackers live in the collective memory as one of the few examples where Aboriginal people’s skills were sought after in colonial society. In New South Wales alone, thousands of Aboriginal men and a smaller number of women toiled for the authorities post-1862, tracking the lost and confused, seeking out the thieves and their ill-gotten booty and bringing criminals to justice.More often than not the role of tracker went unacknowledged. Little about the complexity and diversity of their work is known, how it grew out of traditional society and was sustained by the vast family networks of Aboriginal families that endure to this day. Pathfinders brings the work of trackers to the forefront of New South Wales law enforcement history, ensuring their contribution is properly acknowledged.

Lambert Simnel and the Battle of Stoke

THE HISTORY PRESS LTD

pokkari
Within two years of the battle of Bosworth, Henry Tudor was forced to defend his throne against a formidable challenge mounted on behalf of a ten-year-old boy who had been crowned in Dublin as ‘Edward VI’. Though presented as the last surviving Plantagenet, the young lad is generally known to history as Lambert Simnel.Lambert Simnel and the Battle of Stoke unravels the tangled web of dynastic politics and rivalries in Yorkist England, seeking a context for the bizarre events of 1487. It considers the political instability and the miasma of intrigue associated with the reign of Richard III and the first years of Henry VII. It seeks to probe the mysteries surrounding Lambert Simnel, raising questions about his identity and the roots and ramifications of the movement that centred on him. Above all, it charts the progress of the conspiracy and rebellion, from the raising of troops in the Netherlands and Ireland to the ‘coronation’ in Dublin in May 1487, from the invasion of northern England through to the final, bloody encounter outside the village of East Stoke, near Newark, in June. Henry’s triumph in the field, the last occasion when an English king personally took to the field against a rival, marked an important stage in the development of Tudor polity.In this revised and updated edition, Professor Michael Bennett offers new information and insights on this remarkable episode in English history, seeks clarity and coherence in accounts of the fast-moving drama, re-examines old and new evidence, including misconceptions and misinformation, and addresses recent theories regarding the identity of the Dublin king.

D Giles Ltd

Since Roman times Praxiteles' masterpiece has been known as the Lizard-Slayer. Yet collectors, scholars, and students have all puzzled over the meaning of the young Apollo killing a lizard. What could Praxiteles have had in mind? What was its original context? Praxiteles: The Cleveland Apollo shows that the answers to these long-standing questions are implicit in the bronze sculpture acquired by the Cleveland Museum of Art in 2004. Representing Apollo's victory over the Python, the triumph of order over disorder, the Cleveland Apollo is most likely the only surviving original sculpture by Praxiteles, and the only life-size Greek bronze that can be securely attributed to a Greek sculptor by name. The author recounts the story of the acquisition and reveals the astonishing circumstances of its recovery: found on an East German estate where it had languished for decades in a ruined condition.
