Shared Country, Different Stories
Anthropology in Australia has been both celebrated and contested, particularly in its engagements with Indigenous people. This book delves into senses of place and belonging across diverse sectors of society with a particular focus on the intimacies and tensions of engagements with Indigenous Australia. It examines the politics of anthropology, the sensitivities of cross-cultural understanding, and the challenges posed by rising Indigenous activism. David Trigger reflects on a career committed to cultural relativism while grappling with inherited values and beliefs. The book's conclusion addresses what "shared country" in the context of "different stories" can mean for the future.

At Bat III
For Mel Glenn, baseball is more than just a pleasant pastime, it is poetry in motion. Baseball plays a big part in the game of life, helping Mel and millions of like-minded fans cope with everyday stress and life-changing challenges. As we face the realities of aging, for example, Mel shows how following baseball keeps the playful child inside us alive and happy. And while Mel may "live and die" with the performance of his favorite teams and players, he reminds us that what happens on the diamond remains all in good fun.-Sam Friedman, author, Spikes: The Story of the First Lady of Baseball, As Told to Jackie RobinsonMel Glenn is passionate about sports. He reads, thinks, and talks about sports throughout the day, month, and year, anticipating upcoming games and entire seasons in his head. Sports even helps set his mood depending on whether his team wins or loses. But what sets Mel apart from the average fan is that his love of sports inspires him to write some beautiful poetry. In this, his third collection, each poem is a surprise. Reading them I've nodded at what he noticed, laughed at an irony, appreciated a metaphor, and as a fellow Brooklynite, commiserated and celebrated the fates of our teams.-Dror Kahn, co-author, The Lindens Still Bloom: A Survivor's StoryMel Glenn's poetic homage grabs the reader as it celebrates what makes baseball so special. I liked every poem and loved many, and I expect you will as well. From the first pitch of spring training to the last out in the World Series, baseball is a long season for players and fans alike. The poems in Mel's latest compilation honor those who make magic from March to October, reliving the moments that make us feel total exhilaration or complete despair - both emotions often experienced during the same inning. Read each poem with the respect and reverence it deserves, for baseball really does still matter in the lives of dedicated fans like Mel and me.-John E. Jarvey, baseball fan

Out of the Shadows
The beautiful Anglo-Italian artist Maria Cosway was one of the most talented and dynamic women active in Regency England, but one whose achievements have been largely overlooked. Born in Florence in 1760, she was acclaimed at an early age as both a painter and a musician. She exhibited forty-one paintings at the Royal Academy summer exhibition between 1781 and 1801, and hosted regular musical soir矇es at the Pall Mall house she shared with her husband, Richard Cosway. They were attended by the political and cultural elite of London. Maria's extraordinary network of connections to the great and the good of the late-eighteenth and early-nineteenth centuries, included friendships with, among others, Thomas Jefferson, the Prince of Wales, Pasquale Paoli, the artist Jacques-Louis David, the opera singer Luigi Marchesi, the Duchess of Devonshire, the actress and writer Mary Robinson, and members of the Bonaparte family. Estranged from her husband by 1801, Maria Cosway largely gave up painting and reinvented herself as a progressive educator, founding schools for young women: first in Lyon, later in Lodi, Italy. In recognition of her achievements at Lodi, the Emperor of Austria made her a baroness.
The Painter and the Museum
J籀zsef Nemes Lamp矇rth (1891-1924) was a key figure in the avantgarde art movements that emerged in the early twentieth century. The fact that no comprehensive exhibition of modern Hungarian art could open today without featuring at least one of his works is a clear indication of the calibre and far-reaching impact of his artistic output. Although he died at the tragically young age of just thirty-three, leaving behind him a regrettably small oeuvre, there can be no doubt as to his significance and his influence on both his contemporaries and later Hungarian art.
The wildfire risk management in buildings
Despite increasing investments in wildfire management, the occurrence of larger and more intense wildfires has become more frequent. Consequently, the impact on infrastructure located in high-risk areas has led to dramatic situations, involving the destruction of assets with significant economic and social value and, in extreme cases, the loss of human lives. This work aims to share technical and scientific knowledge on the most effective ways to manage wildfire risk in buildings, specifically dwellings. Three essential components are considered - the building itself, its surroundings, and self-protection capacity. These are examined in relation to current legislation and policies in Portugal. The content will be of primary interest to both technical and non-technical professionals involved in wildland-urban interface fire management, as well as to the general public, especially to citizens with buildings located in fire-prone areas.
Sarah and Jacob
In this work of pure imagination, the author immerses us in a series of captivating chronicles that span from 1680 to 1837, blending history and fiction with remarkable fi nesse. At the heart of these narratives stands Adam Coeuret, a man mysteriously spared from the galleys by Royal Grace in 1672, who becomes the common thread of a plot that probes the justice system of his time and its many ambiguities. Through his fate, the author explores the darker corners of judicial machinery-where sentencing, escapes, and unearned freedoms intertwine. But Adam's destiny, as murky as it is strange, takes an unexpected turn after the Affair of the Poisons, with revelations about his possible future that reshape how his era is perceived. Through a mosaic of chronicles, characters like Sarah, Jacob, Martha, and George cross paths in increasingly complex situations: a disturbed magician, gambling games in 1807, long-held secrets unveiled in Biarritz in 1837. In each era, the thread of injustice is woven-between lies and hidden truths. A journey through centuries where justice, power, and madness intertwine, shedding light on the failures of a system sometimes too eager to shield the guilty. Page after page, the reader is invited to refl ect on the persistence of injustice, from the time of poisons to the present day

Preaching the Christian Life and Faith
In this volume, essays are brought together that map the preaching landscape in the late antique Latin West from the perspective of religious education. In Late Antiquity, sermons were the central institution through which religious education was imparted. Each contribution focuses on one preacher and addresses one of four key questions: What role did the Holy Scriptures play in preaching? How were hagiographic texts interpreted in the sermon? How were Christian ethics taught in sermons? And how did dogma enter the sermon? Reflections on current research into preaching and on the role of Augustine for late antique preachers round off the individual studies. Since preaching is highly dependent on its local and historical contexts, the volume collects a variety of perspectives that offering a nuanced picture of the genre of preaching that has shaped Christian communication from Late Antiquity to the present day.
Knowledge Co-Creation in Climate and Marine Governance
Climate change affects the oceans on various levels - as an eco-system, as a storage for CO2, as a source of life, as a threat to coastal communities. For this reason, the UN sustainability goal 14 focuses on the protection of life at sea. The authors of this volume explore the transformative potential of co-creative processes in environmental and climate law, looking at rights of the sea, and on sea. The innovative approach of co-creation emphasises the integration of diverse forms of knowledge, encompassing scientific, indigenous, and local expertise to foster more inclusive and effective governance strategies for climate change and marine conservation, including sustainable fisheries, human rights protection and climate change adaptation. Based on a co-creation methodology that transcends disciplinary boundaries and enhances participatory approaches, this volume offers perspectives on ocean protection from national, regional and international law.
