In the late nineteenth century, as crippling famine devastated northern China, the Li family had no choice but to leave Shanxi province. Heading north, they began a new life, farming the remote grasslands of Inner Mongolia. They prospered as landowners and teachers, but could not escape the ravages of warlords, soldiers and revolutionaries. Born into this pioneering family, Li Yao grew up in Mao''s China. He dreamt of becoming a writer, but his dreams were torn apart by the Cultural Revolution. When the storm finally subsided, the young man turned to translation. In Australian writing, he found colourful tales set in new landscapes, a literature quite unfamiliar to him. Li Yao''s story is interwoven with that of his friend, Australian historian David Walker. David''s family had also settled in an unfamiliar and difficult land, a world away in distant South Australia. The two men became friends as Li Yao translated one of David''s books into Chinese, and their personal histories provide a fascinating, illuminating window into life in China, an experience inevitably shaped by China''s relations with the wider world.

The Story of Australia provides a fresh, engaging and comprehensive introduction to Australia’s history and geography. An island continent with distinct physical features, Australia is home to the most enduring Indigenous cultures on the planet. In the late eighteenth century newcomers from distant worlds brought great change. Since that time, Australia has been shaped by many peoples with competing visions of what the future might hold. This new history of Australia integrates a rich body of scholarship from many disciplines, drawing upon maps, novels, poetry, art, music, diaries and letters, government and scientific reports, newspapers, architecture and the land itself, engaging with Australia in its historical, geographical, national and global contexts. It pays particular attention to women and Indigenous Australians, as well as exploring key themes including invasion/colonisation, land use, urbanisation, war, migration, suburbia and social movements for change. Elegantly written, readers will enjoy Australia’s story from its origins to the present as the nation seeks to resolve tensions between Indigenous dispossession, British tradition and multicultural diversity while finding its place in an Asian region and dealing with global challenges like climate change. It is an ideal text for students, academics and general readers with an interest in Australian history, geography, politics and culture.

This compelling anthology, *Walker''s Appeal, with a Brief Sketch of His Life,* offers a profound exploration into the fervent voices that propelled the abolitionist movement in America. Uniting an array of literary styles''Äîranging from fiery rhetoric to poignant narrative''Äîthe collection encapsulates the fervor and urgency of two remarkable orations that demand the reader''s attention. The titular ''Appeal'' serves as the centerpiece, a searing indictment of the injustices faced by African Americans, imbued with a moral imperative that resounds even today. Complemented by engaging contextual sketches, the anthology invites readers to encounter the historical landscape of the early 19th century through the unyielding lens of truth and justice. The anthology''s focus on David Walker and Henry Highland Garnet contextualizes their formidable influence within the larger framework of both the abolitionist movement and African American literature. Walker and Garnet, revered for their unwavering advocacy and reformist thought, emerge as pioneering figures whose works were deeply entwined with the radical ethos of their contemporaries. By capturing their voices, this collection channels the zeitgeist of a burgeoning movement advocating for equality, offering insights not only into their individual contributions but also into the broader tapestry of socio-political change. Scholars, students, and enthusiasts of American history and African American literature will find this anthology an essential addition to their collections. It provides a unique opportunity to engage with powerful dialogues on social justice and resistance within a single volume. Readers are encouraged to explore these trailblazing works for their significant educational value, rich insights, and the profound conversation between past struggles and contemporary challenges. The anthology''s breadth and depth serve as a testament to the enduring power of collective voices championing change.

Railroads, tourism, and government bureaucracy combined to create modern religion in the American West, argues David Walker in this innovative study of Mormonism’s ascendency in the railroad era. The center of his story is Corinne, Utah—an end-of-the-track, hell-on-wheels railroad town founded by anti-Mormon businessmen. In the disputes over this town’s frontier survival, Walker discovers intense efforts by a variety of theological, political, and economic interest groups to challenge or secure Mormonism’s standing in the West. Though Corinne’s founders hoped to leverage industrial capital to overthrow Mormon theocracy, the town became the site of a very different dream. Economic and political victory in the West required the production of knowledge about different religious groups settling in its lands. As ordinary Americans advanced their own theories about Mormondom, they contributed to the rise of religion itself as a category of popular and scholarly imagination. At the same time, new and advantageous railroad-related alliances catalyzed LDS Church officials to build increasingly dynamic religious institutions. Through scrupulous research and wide-ranging theoretical engagement, Walker shows that western railroads did not eradicate or diminish Mormon power. To the contrary, railroad promoters helped establish Mormonism as a normative American religion.

Introducing engineering students to numerical analysis and computing, this book covers a range of topics suitable for the first three years of a four year undergraduate engineering degree. The teaching of computing to engineers is hampered by the lack of suitable problems for the students to tackle, so much effort has gone into making the problems in this book realistic and relevant, while at the same time solvable for undergraduates. Taking a balanced approach to teaching computing and computer methods at the same time, this book satisfies the need to be able to use computers (using both formal languages such as Fortran and other applications such as Matlab and Microsoft Excel), and the need to be able to solve realistic engineering problems.

Well, welcome to the world of the supernatural, where everythings possible. Its a world wherein the elites of science cannot prove or disprove these kind of things. Its a world where the average citizen is encouraged to think for themselves without the added baggage of the scientific world telling them otherwise. No body or bones to prove Bigfoot exists? No problem! With a thousand or more verifiable sighting reports within the last fifty years or so, somebody is seeing something! They cant all be lying. And if so, for what purpose? Some even have long-standing careers on the line and still have felt obligated to come forward with their encounters.

In this new study the authors examine a range of theories about the state of nature in seventeenth- and eighteenth-century England, considering the contribution they made to the period''s discourse on sovereignty and their impact on literary activity. Texts examined include Leviathan, Oceana, Paradise Lost, Discourses Concerning Government, Two Treatises on Government, Don Sebastian, Oronooko, The New Atalantis, Robinson Crusoe, Dissertation upon Parties, David Simple, and Tom Jones. The state of nature is identified as an important organizing principle for narratives in the century running from the Civil War through to the second Jacobite Rebellion, and as a way of situating the author within either a reactionary or a radical political tradition. The Discourse of Sovereignty provides an exciting new perspective on the intellectual history of this fascinating period.

It''s for the parent concerned about the future freedom and opportunity left to their young adult. It''s for young adults and teens wishing to avoid the social pitfalls of political correctness when discussing liberal arguments that affect their future. It'' for anyone wishing to challenge the endless liberal messages and media bias that constantly push invasive government control. It''s for teens who wonder about their own political affiliation. "Am I a young Republican or Democrat?" - and most importantly - "Why?" It''s for young adults who already identify as conservatives, particularly with respect to socialist policies and the U.S. Constitution. What is The Monkey Endgame? It''s approachable political fiction for young adults. Although it stands as a complete story on its own, it''s also the first book in an upcoming political fiction book series called Freedom Sleeps. It''s a book that awakens you to the countless biased messages you suffer from sources like the news, school, text books, TV shows, commercials and more. It''s a story that explores false compassion and political misdirection. It''s political fiction that addresses government corruption. It''s a teen fable about government, society, and Rule Monkeys! Other Questions It''s a short story. Why? - Good question. The story is long enough to explore major monkey mistakes, but short enough to remain interesting and understandable. Why is a book for young adults illustrated? - There are a couple reasons for including illustrations. First, the illustrations reinforce that this is not our world. We can talk honestly about cause and effects in the monkey nation, because no one will be offended. Second, illustrations are fun for any age - and these illustrations by Zack Demirtshyan draw the reader deep into the monkey world. Third, this is a fable of sorts, and fables need illustrations! Can I read some of the content? - Absolutely! Please see the "Look Inside" feature above. The included section here will give you a better understanding of the content. "The Monkey Endgame draws its own conclusions in story form, but you don''t have to agree with them. The point is for young minds to think for themselves rather than accept media bias as fact."
