Book Synopsis State and Religion by : Renae Barker
Download or read book State and Religion written by Renae Barker and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-09-03 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With its increasingly secular and religiously diverse population Australia faces many challenges in determining how the state and religion should interact. Australia is not unique in facing these challenges. States worldwide, including common law countries with shared legal and religious heritages, have also been faced with the question of how the state and religion should relate to one another. Countries such as the United Kingdom, Canada, New Zealand and the United States have all had to grapple with how to manage the state-religion relationship in the present day. This book provides a comprehensive historical review of the interaction of the state and religion in Australia. It brings together multiple examples of areas in which the state and religion interact, and reviews these examples across Australia’s history from settlement through to present day. The book sets this story within a wider theoretical context via an examination of theories of state-religion relationships as well as a comparison with other similar common law jurisdictions. The book demonstrates how the solutions arrived at in Australia is uniquely Australian owing to Australia’s unique legal system, religious demographics and history. However this is just one possible outcome among many that have been tried in common law liberal democracies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bob McIntosh’s life has been rich in incident and anecdote which he recounts with verve and passion. An exciting biography told with a fine portion of personal sarcasm and humour. An early life spent in the Australian outback and then throughout Latin America. Bob McIntosh grew up as a single child on sheep and cattle stations in the outback of Australia and received a customary tough, thorough but loving countryside upbringing, based on a set of strong values, a good attitude to farm work and where a love of all aspects of nature comes as natural as nature itself. Not exactly sure what to do with life after finishing school and a few years of backbreaking labour experiences in the outback, Bob decided to extensively explore Europe and North America to expand his horizons and find his bearings. Upon returning to Australia, he was sure he was made for bigger things than bush life. While in the process of obtaining a university degree he started working for one of the largest companies in Australia with a worldwide commercial network of sales representatives. The opportunity to work in Latin America was not lost on him, eventually having his own company in Panama which he skilfully, but with plenty of sacrifice, guided from near nothing to a successful venture in the controversial industry of agro-chemicals.

Book Synopsis An Australian Story by : Kay L. Fielden
Download or read book An Australian Story written by Kay L. Fielden and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2013-03-20 with total page 57 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book features the importance of families, particularly the roles played by women, spread over 5 generations. Throughout the book there is a focus on mother/daughter relationships, and the strength of the women involved. The five generations written about were actually known to me, some of the tales I witnessed, others were relayed to me by various great great grandmothers and grandmothers. The work demonstrates how subtle the strength and power combination can be in women, and how women can be instrumental in bringing about change whilst seeming to be powerless. My work also brings together the family cohesion within my family, the memories and tales of things which would be lost and forgotten otherwise. The book is about the family of which the author is very proud, many of those written about contributed greatly to the formation of this nation and much of those contributions were made without praise or comment, like my great grandmother and her two sisters fighting as suffragettes against huge odds so that women could obtain equal franchise, and using their power on the home front to assist them in achieving this wonderful thing, or my Uncle Wal’s work as Paddington (NSW) ‘s mayor and his quiet humility as he got on with the job for twenty-five years. Throughout the book there are many references to other quiet achievers from my fierce great great grandmother to my own children, 5 generations of daughters later. Thus the work symbolises many true blue Australian families, whose tales have not yet been told, and yet illustrate the very fabric of Australian society, and makes popular reading.
Book Synopsis Quarterly Essay 36 Australian Story by : Mungo MacCallum
Download or read book Quarterly Essay 36 Australian Story written by Mungo MacCallum and published by ReadHowYouWant.com. This book was released on 2015-02-09 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Australian Story, Mungo MacCallum investigates the political success of Kevin Rudd. What does he know about Australia that his opponents don't? This is a characteristically barbed and perceptive look at the challenges facing the government and the country. MacCallum argues that the things we used to rely on are not there anymore. On the Right, the blind faith in markets has recently collapsed. The Left lost its guiding light with the demise of the socialist dream. In entertaining fashion, MacCallum dissects the myths that made Australia: the idea of the Lucky Country, with endless pastures, a workingman's paradise, a new Britannia, and more. In newly uncertain times, MacCallum argues, Rudd has sought to tap into these myths, in the process reclaiming them from John Howard. Australian Story is both a canny assessment of the Rudd government's election - winning approach and a broader meditation on the nation's core traditions at a time of major change and challenge. ''Rudd has made it clear that he is looking forward to a long time in office … If the polls are to be believed, he is still seen as the best man for the job by an overwhelming majority of Australians. But why? What is it about this repetitive, boring, God - bothering nerd that appeals to the proverbially laid - back, cynical, disengaged public?'' - Mungo MacCallum, Australian Story This special Christmas issue also includes Robert Manne's Quarterly Essay Lecture, Is Neo - Liberalism Finished?
Book Synopsis Solly’s Way: An Australian story by : Ron Thomas
Download or read book Solly’s Way: An Australian story written by Ron Thomas and published by Ron Thomas. This book was released on with total page 473 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Solly Trilogy is a tale of three generations, from a boy’s enlistment as cabin boy on a Yankee packet ship, the Delaware Belle, plying between Plymouth and New York in the early nineteenth century, through the drought, conflict and financial strife of the 1890’s in Australia to the impact on ordinary folk of the great war and its aftermath. The story is based around the lives of ordinary people of three generations surviving a world that was changing faster than at any time before. It was an era in which the world was shrinking and the affairs of men of diverse nations began to break down centuries-old barriers of class and inherited wealth. We denizens of the 21st century can easily forget that the accomplishments of every generation are built upon those of generations that came before them. Similarly, the values we hold dear were first learned at the knees of our parents. The Solly Trilogy is about a time not just before aircraft, the computer and the internet, but before labour-saving devices we take for granted today had been invented. How did people live in times such as these? These were resourceful people, adaptable people in times that required a surfeit of both of these admirable qualities. Solly’s Trilogy is designed to be read in any order, but it is suggested that you begin with ‘Solly’s Way’, the story of Solly’s arrival at Wallangulla as an old man and his impact on a struggling Australian outback family. ‘Solly’s Legacy’ tells of the legacy of caring, respect and ingenuity the old man left for the next generation. Finally, ‘Solly’s Journey’ completes the loop by telling the story of a cabin boy whose travels under sail, as he grows to manhood, lead him to cross great oceans of the world. After travelling the American west, a shipwreck brings him to a land down under where he finds a wide brown land worth exploring. The Solly Trilogy is set in a period when events in a more remote Europe changed life in Australia. Today, events before the Great War seem like some far-off good old days when life in the Australian outback was simple and wholesome. I’m grateful to my grandfather and his mates who loved a yarn about the old days and could no doubt spin a few tall ones to a gullible lad. They helped me gain many valuable insights into how it really was back then and became the inspiration behind the Solly Trilogy.
