This ''faction'' novel is set in the 1980s. It revolves around a 40-year-old international mystery involving a World War II secret. It gives background on the evolution of the atomic bomb in the 1940s, resulting from Einstein''s special theory of relativity in the early 1900s and his postulation about splitting the atom. The novel is set mainly in Australia. The protagonist is young Australian Martin Brodrick, who on a cruise ship in 1982 meets fellow passenger Dr Reginald Ward, a brilliant physicist who had been involved in the Manhattan Project. Privy to the most important secrets of the wartime period, Dr Ward is a troubled man. Brodrick becomes his surprising confidant. Soon after revealing his secrets, Dr Ward dies, leaving Brodrick in the possession of "sensitive wartime documentation and possibly a mechanical device" that confirm "illegal activities involving American citizens at the end of the war". The knowledge Brodrick holds causes attempts on his life, but he survives.

The Out of the Depths series addresses common pastoral crises in a faithful, encouraging, and factual manner that provides support to parishioners in crisis beyond the initial pastoral conversation. These inexpensive 64-page booklets can be given out to parishioners when they bring their recent diagnosis, crisis, or trauma to the pastor as a way to continue to provide care throughout the difficult season. Each booklet begins with a thoughtful consideration of the topic at hand, which is followed up by 30 brief devotions. These devotions are designed to be manageable in an overwhelming time, encouraging, and honest. This Addictionedition, co-authored by Jim Hightower and Peter Ferguson, is appropriate for both individuals experiencing addiction and their family and friends. The Out of the Depths booklets are essential care resources to be given out by pastors, Stephen Ministers, and congregational care teams. Key Features: Written by metal health professionals and pastors to help the reader process their trauma both psychologically and theologically. Includes accessible material describing the dynamics of the crisis situation and typical reactions, which provides the reader with a sense of grounding and direction through increased knowledge. The thirty short devotions creates a sense of companionship and hope in a difficult and lonely time. Knowing they are sharing a resource written by mental health professionals and pastors with personal experience provides pastors a trustworthy source of information. Easy for pastors/churches to keep in stock and distribute as needed, serves as a tangible reminder of the faith community''s care.

This book uses a critical political economy approach to develop an historically and politically grounded set of strategies for states to move toward a post-growth, decarbonised global economy. It begins by examining the social and ecological costs of and limits to economic growth and determines that significant decarbonisation of the global economy can only be achieved if conventional growth-based economies are replaced by an alternative post-growth economy. Set apart from many other works in the field by its critical political economy approach to policy development, this book offers the reader three distinctive features. First, it places the analysis in historical context in order to demonstrate how the global political economy is constantly changing with respect to distributions of wealth, power and fundamental norms, and explores how states might harness and transform these contingent patterns in a post-growth direction. Second, the book is not only concerned with developing and advocating post-growth policies, but also with how these measures can be incorporated into the high-level domestic and international strategies pursued by states to ensure their political legitimacy and economic and geopolitical survival. Third, rather than proposing an idealised and politically naïve model of socioecological transformation, the proposed post-growth policy framework is highly cognisant of the geopolitical and international economic pressures facing states and demonstrates how these can be managed in the transition toward a post-growth economy. This book represents an invaluable resource for policymakers, academics, activists and students wishing to study or contribute to the transition to a post-growth, decarbonised economy.

BAD is all around us, influencing and guiding everything we do. We are constrained by it, hurt by it and delighted by it. Even if you think you''re doing good, you''re just raising bulwarks against the bad. Bad comes in many subtle forms. Peter Ferguson shows how to be aware of them, how they can affect us and how to work with them. But this is no earnest treatise. It''s also a meditation. And a bit of a romp.
