Millions of Australian feed wild birds in their gardens. Yet there is currently very little information or advice on offer to tell them how to do this properly. This book provides the first readily available source of reliable information relevant to Australia. What’s more, it is written by an expert who feeds birds himself in his own suburban backyard. Including profiles on different types of Australian urban birds, what to feed them and what types of feeders to use, it also has tips on how to create a bird-friendly garden. Feeding the Birds at Your Table offers sensible and practical suggestions so feeding doesn’t only benefit us, but benefits the birds themselves. Packed with lists, tips and boxes for easy use, and featuring illustrations of some of the most common Australian birds, Feeding the Birds at Your Table tells you how to do just that - as responsibly as possible.
In Curlews on Vulture Street, acclaimed urban ecologist Darryl Jones reveals the not-so-secret lives of the most common birds that share our towns and cities.Despite the noise, heat, dust and fumes, the ceaseless movement, light and toxins, many birds successfully live their lives among us. And not just furtively in the shadows. Ibis steal our lunch, brush turkeys rearrange gardens and magpies chase us screaming from near their nest.From his childhood in a country town noticing blackbirds and sparrows to studying brush turkeys in the suburbs, Jones shares a fascinating story of curiosity, discovery, adventure and conflict, played out in city streets and backyards. He also provides rare insights into the intimate lives of some of our most beloved and feared, despised and admired neighbours. You'll never see magpies, curlews, ibis, lorikeets and cockatoos in the same way again.

An informative and funny deconstruction of how the giants of American capitalism shape our worldIn Billionaires: The Lives of the Rich and Powerful, Darryl Cunningham offers an illuminating analysis of the origins and ideological evolutions of four key players in the American private sector--Amazon founder and CEO Jeff Bezos, media mogul Rupert Murdoch, and oil and gas tycoons Charles and David Koch. What emerges is a vital critique of American capitalism and the power these individuals have to assert a corrupting influence on policy-making, political campaigns, and society writ large. Cunningham focuses on a central question: Can the world afford to have a tiny global elite squander resources and hold unprecedented political influence over the rest of us? The answer is detailed through hearty research, common sense reasoning, and astute comedic timing. Billionaires reveals how the fetishized free market operates in direct opposition with the health of our planet and needs of the most vulnerable -- how Murdoch's media mergers facilitated his war-mongering, how Amazon's litigiousness and predatory acquisitions made them "The Everything Store," and how the Kochs' father's refineries literally fueled Nazi Germany. In criticizing the uncontrolled reach of power by Rupert Murdoch (in fueling the far right), the Koch Brothers (in advocating for climate change denial), and Jeff Bezos (in creating unsafe working conditions), Cunningham speaks truth to power. Billionaires ends by suggesting alternatives for a safer and more just society.

For over twenty-five years, D. E. Wilkie has worked as an ordained minister, a mental health and addiction counsellor, a child and family therapist, and a marriage counsellor. He holds advanced degrees in both theology and psychology. He has also struggled with sexual addiction for most of his life, and the collateral damage of that struggle has cost him both his vocational ministries. This battle has forced Wilkie to understand God's Word (The Bible) in a new light as he lines up his theology with his reality. All of which is to say that he is a man who is eminently qualified to write a book on addiction and the spiritual implications on recovery. A committed husband, a father of three, and grandfather of two, he treasures the time he spends with his family and enjoys camping, skiing and most recently competing in the Iron Man. As an Ottawa native he is a die heart fan of the Ottawa Senators and Redblacks.

The Australian nation has reached an impasse in Indigenous policy and practice and fresh strategies and perspectives are required. Trapped by History will highlight a fundamental issue that the Australian nation must confront to develop a genuine relationship with Indigenous Australians. The existing relationship between Indigenous people and the Australian state was constructed on the myth of an empty land – terra nullius. Therefore, interactions with Indigenous people have been constrained by eighteenth-century assumptions and beliefs that Indigenous people did not have organised societies, had neither land ownership nor a recognisable form of sovereignty, and that they were ‘savage’ but could be ‘civilized’ through the erasure of their culture. These incorrect assumptions and beliefs are the foundation of the legal, constitutional and political treatment of Indigenous Australians over the course of the country’s history. They remain ingrained in governmental institutions, Indigenous policy making, judicial decision making and contemporary public attitudes about Indigenous people. Trapped by History shines new light upon several historical and contemporary examples where Indigenous people have attempted to engage and dialogue with state and federal governments. These governments have responded by trying to suppress and discredit Indigenous rights, culture and identities and impose assimilationist policies. In doing so they have rejected or ignored Indigenous attempts at dialogue and partnership. Other settler countries such as New Zealand, Canada and the United States of America have all negotiated treaties with Indigenous people and have developed constitutional ways of engaging cross culturally. In Australia, the limited recognition that Indigenous people have achieved to date shows that the state is unable to resolve long standing issues with Indigenous people. Movement beyond the current colonial relationship with Indigenous Australians requires a genuine dialogue to not only examine the legal and intellectual framework that constrain Indigenous recognition but to create new foundations for a renewed relationship based on intercultural negotiation, mutual respect, sharing and mutual responsibility. This must involve building a shared understanding around addressing past injustices and creating a shared vision for how Indigenous people and other Australians would associate politically in the future.

The Paradox - Murphy's Law: Nothing Is as It Seems

This book was created directly from the words of the late Clifford Jerome Lewis, the SoulSoul-Medic. Mr. Lewis created this book to serve as a literary solution to the growing drug and alcohol epidemic. Clifford Jerome Lewis described himself as a 54-year-old black male, Vietnam Veteran. He possessed a Masters Degree in Clinical Social Work and completed a Graduate Specialty Program in Addictions at Western Michigan University, Kalamazoo, Michigan. "I know of the paradox of species extinction. I also know that in order to manage the paradox, one must have a specific mindset. Murphy's Law is the mindset. I believe, "Nothing is as easy as it seems, and if anything can go wrong, it will...at the worst possible time," is the solution to managing the conundrum of the paradox." - Clifford Jerome Lewis
Most of us grow up fairly certain that working hard, doing as we're told, and taking the path most travelled will lead us to a smooth transition into the more rooted stages of life. Our young minds are inundated with the conventional belief that getting an education will enable us to find a decent job, and that being a good person will land us in the warm, lasting embrace of a decent partner. But with these vastly oversimplified and increasingly antiquated notions becoming seemingly more difficult to fulfil, what is one to do when such efforts, no matter how rigorously applied, fail to yield even the most modest of personal and professional outcomes? It is this burgeoning social pattern with which Dylan Price must contend as he embarks on his highly flawed and frustratingly prolonged quest to become a bona fide "grown-up," a dicey pursuit to establish even a small semblance of stability that sends him face-first into a brick wall fashioned with more romantic and vocational issues than the condemned twenty-something can shake a stick at. Both a humorous and insightful depiction of Gen X and Millennial woes as well as a cautionary tale for Gen Z and beyond, Life Pending: Rising Above Rootlessness is the author's embellished account of his own social and psychological journey through what many consider to be life's most absurd phase. Ultimately, it seeks to offer a stirring perspective by echoing the perplexing and often demoralizing circumstances of countless other budding adults who have similarly struggled to plant firm roots in a world with increasingly unstable ground.
