Book excerpt: Notorious, numerous and varied, serial murderers from Australia have an eclectic record of crimes, methods and trademarks. Scrutinizing these murderers at length, this book aims to identify characteristics exclusive to Australian serial killers, connecting the crimes with the continent's geography, culture and social structure. Featured are murderers like the "Granny Killer" John Wayne Glover, William "The Sydney Mutilator" McDonald and "Backpacker Killer" Ivan Milat. Also covered are well-known events like the Snowtown Murders and killer couples like David and Catherine Birnie. Unique in the true crime genre, this book studies fictional Australian murderer Mick Taylor to examine how pop culture portrayals develop the distinct psychology of killers from "down under."

Book excerpt: A joyful and indispensable guide filled with astonishing, important, and little-known information about the vagina that will equip a new generation to make informed choices about their sexual health and happiness. The Wonder Down Under is a comprehensive guide to a miraculous and complex part of the body that too few of us (regardless of gender) are all that familiar with--the vagina. With wisdom, humor, and scientific aplomb, medical student Ellen Støkken Dahl and Dr. Nina Brochmann take readers on a fascinating journey of female sexual organs and sexual health--from the clitoris to contraception to cervical cancer. More than a user's manual, this book is the funny, frank tribute to the vagina that we have been waiting for. The Wonder Down Under is filled with astonishing, essential, and little-known information--relayed with both medical expertise and genuine empathy. Did you know, for instance, that female and male sex organs are merely variations on the same basic structure? Or that there's no such thing as a virginity test--because examining the hymen cannot meaningfully indicate whether or not someone's had sex? Brochmann and Dahl have written a tour-de-force about the biology, anatomy, and reality of the female body, examining the many ways in which widespread misinformation and silence about the vagina have been harmful to women over time. The Wonder Down Under makes crucial contributions to the discussion: the book was an instant bestseller that sold out in its native Norway in just three days. Since then it has been acquired by publishers in more than two dozen countries around the world. The Wonder Down Under is a joyful and indispensable book that will educate readers of all kinds and equip a new generation to make informed choices about their sexual well-being.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Deception Down Under, an American student pilot enrolled in a flight training program on the Space Coast of Florida, is lured into smuggling drugs into the country for a powerful Columbian cocaine cartel out of Miami. This young man went from a young naïve college student, studying aviation management to a full-time pilot for a Columbian cocaine cartel which paid him very well to smuggle drugs into the U.S. from the Bahamas in a twin-engine airplane. The initial glamour and power of the drug world is deceiving until he was arrested and set up to look like a witness against the cartel by a testimony fabricated by his co-defendant. He was lured into doing this in 1984 in Florida at a well known surf spot in the “Space Coast” called Sebastian Inlet. It all seemed so simple and he was living in a utopia world not thinking he was ever going to get caught. It was not until after making a lot of money, and acquiring a glamorous lifestyle that everything did fall apart and he was trapped between the cartel and the law. Afraid for his life, he decided to adopt a new identity and escaped from America to start another life for himself in Australia. He fled to Australia where he re-established himself and built a new exotic life in Queensland on the Gold Coast. The large frontier Down Under is a new test of all of his will to survive on his own in a foreign country where he is a total stranger. As a result of intensive surveillance, monitoring his parents mail, and phone taps, the FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION uncovered his deception. He eventually was placed on the F.B.I.’s Top 10 Most Wanted list and was tracked to Australia where he was eventually deported to Hawaii, and later deported back to the mainland of the UNITED STATES to face drug charges and accept the reality of incarceration. Once imprisoned, he builds an inner strength and knowledge of life that changed him forever. All of these scenarios combined formed a barrier which was very difficult to overcome. In additon, it destroyed the life which he was meant to have as a respected professional and placed overwhelming anxiety and emotional strain on his family. The book is being written to describe the upheaval that occurred in this young man’s life through the use of drugs and the importation of drugs into this country, successfully utilizing the multi-level marketing network which he had developed. It also describes the awesome task of re-entering his former life, now carrying additional baggage, and the struggle he faces in assimilating a REAL LIFE. His story is a powerful testimony for others to learn from, because so many people in today’s world are vulnerable to the deception of “easy money,” whether in the drug culture on Wall Street or main street. It is also a compelling adventure story from the standpoint of someone recreating a life for himself and then being allowed to live it. The underlying theme of the story is that “YOU CAN NOT LIVE A LIE. You cannot discover your own reality until you go back and reweave the fabric of your life.

Download or read book Terror Down Under written by Daniel Best and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2023-07-20 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1948, the Australian government banned the production, importation and exhibition of horror films in a move to appease religious communities and entertainment watchdogs. Drawing upon previously unseen government documents, private letters and contemporary newspaper accounts, this book is the first to extensively cover the history of censorship and the early production of horror movies in Australia. Beginning its examination in the late 19th century, the book documents the earliest horror films like Georges Melies' The Haunted Castle (1896), and how Australians enjoyed such films before the ban. The book then explains how certain imports, like 1954's Creature from the Black Lagoon, were able to circumvent the ban while others were not. It also reveals how Australian television, though similarly impacted by government censorship, was occasionally able to broadcast films technically banned from cinematic release. The work concludes with a look at the first Australian horror films produced after the ban was formally lifted in 1969, like Terry Bourke's Night of Fear (1973).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most people look forward to their annual vacations. Some want to relax and do nothing while others seek the thrill of diving with man-eating sharks or bungee jumping from a suspension bridge high above a rock canyon to stir up their paltry existence. In Danger Down Under, a group of ordinary people from different walks of life find themselves in an extraordinary position. After recently leaving the military, Gary and his wife, Amanda, are hoping a vacation to Australia will mend their strained marriage. A day of charter fishing ends with them stranded by a storm on a small island with six fellow vacationers, none of whom had any such activities in their getaway plans. It’s the kind of thing that would make a body hire a new travel agent. While the group of castaways deal with their survival situation, Dr. Larry Williams, a scientist studying marine life off the northern coast of Australia, discovers an unusual chemical imbalance of unknown origin in many of his specimens. As he searches for the cause, local residents begin to disappear, throwing a panic into the police department and the authorities to mobilize and join in on the quest for answers. Research leads Dr. Williams to a library in Sydney that hints of a convoy from Germany sunk in 1943 by the American navy on its way to Japan with a cargo of nerve agent. He also finds corroborating evidence from the local hotel manager whose uncle served as a coast watcher and begins to expose the cover-up of a leak that is causing genetic aberrations in the water, one of which is an oversized Komodo dragon. Mysteriously the uncle is poisoned. Concern over the fate of the shipwrecked tourists grows as the police deal with missing people from the town, and Lt. Harry Morgan, commander of the search and rescue station, sends several vessels out to comb the area. Little does Dr. Williams know that there are forces at work trying to hamper his research and prevent him from learning any more than he already has. He eventually convinces his friend, Capt. Dave Weeks, an army officer stationed in Hawaii, to listen to his conscience and help him expose the cover-up. Risking his career and possible imprisonment, Captain Weeks steals secret files about the convoy and leaves for Australia to assist the scientist. As science and government head on a collision course, the creature prowling the strait in search of food terrorizes Gary and his fellow castaways. It has developed a healthy appetite for human flesh, by the way. Concerned that their safety is in jeopardy, they decide to launch Gary out in their life raft to hopefully run down a passing boat or plane only to have him pounded by a storm. He is finally picked up by one of Lieutenant Morgan’s cutters but, thanks to the storm, no longer knows which direction he came from. The story comes to a head when Gary attempts to lead a rescue mission back for his wife and her fellow castaways before government agents can find them. Standing in their way is the government bureaucracy that wants to keep the secret intact and the creature that man’s indifference has created. There are no boring 35mm vacation slides from this trip.

Now that he is dead, Katie believes she can finally move forward. But when she learns her mother left a will, Katie’s life is once again sent into a dramatic dive that leaves her in quandary.

Download or read book Voices in Disability and Spirituality from the Land Down Under written by Christopher Newell and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-06-11 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An excellent source of information and ideas on the relationship between disability and spirituality—and how to improve it This one-of-a-kind collection explores the relationship between spirituality and disability from a variety of Australian religious and spiritual viewpoints. Authors from a wide range of backgrounds—some with disabilities, some without—draw remarkable insights from Christian, Jewish, Buddhist (and even non-religious) spirituality. These uniquely Australian perspectives provide practical and spiritual lessons that can be applied in any part of the world. Voices in Disability and Spirituality from the Land Down Under presents an unflinching look at the shortcomings of many established church ministries when it comes to serving people with disabilities. There’s also an extraordinary interview with a severely disabled nonreligious woman in the final stage of her life and her caretaker, which presents a very revealing look at the essence of human spirituality as it exists even in the absence of religious dogma. In addition, you’ll find a revealing case study focusing on the Uniting Church in Australia (UCA), which looks at the gap between its official theology and its actual policy and practice, and outlines a project designed to move the Church forward to more inclusive practices. Additionally, Voices in Disability and Spirituality from the Land Down Under: Outback to Outfront examines: why platitudes that are intended to give comfort, like “God has chosen this for you,” “It’s a test of your faith,” or “We all have our crosses to carry” are at best problematic, and at worst damaging—with suggestions for pastoral responses that offer alternatives to “God-is-on-your-side” clichés the spiritual meaning and importance of community for people with disabilities, and the impact of community on their vitality and resiliency the Buddhist teaching called sunyata, or emptiness, and its potential to positively impact the lives of people with intellectual disabilities and those who know them wisdom contained in the ancient Jewish system of laws called Halacha—and its potential for empowering people with disabilities today how a pastoral care program that is flexible, accommodating, and relevant for disabled people was created at a small metropolitan school in New South Wales—and the effect of the program on the community the work of the Personal Advocacy Service, which recruits volunteers to be companions to people with intellectual disabilities the role of religion and philanthropy in the creation of educational programs for blind or vision-impaired students and more

Download or read book Down Girl written by Kate Manne and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017-10-09 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Misogyny is a hot topic, yet it's often misunderstood. What is misogyny, exactly? Who deserves to be called a misogynist? How does misogyny contrast with sexism, and why is it prone to persist - or increase - even when sexist gender roles are waning? This book is an exploration of misogyny in public life and politics by the moral philosopher and writer Kate Manne. It argues that misogyny should not be understood primarily in terms of the hatred or hostility some men feel toward all or most women. Rather, it's primarily about controlling, policing, punishing, and exiling the "bad" women who challenge male dominance. And it's compatible with rewarding "the good ones," and singling out other women to serve as warnings to those who are out of order. It's also common for women to serve as scapegoats, be burned as witches, and treated as pariahs. Manne examines recent and current events such as the Isla Vista killings by Elliot Rodger, the case of the convicted serial rapist Daniel Holtzclaw, who preyed on African-American women as a police officer in Oklahoma City, Rush Limbaugh's diatribe against Sandra Fluke, and the "misogyny speech" of Julia Gillard, then Prime Minister of Australia, which went viral on YouTube. The book shows how these events, among others, set the stage for the 2016 US presidential election. Not only was the misogyny leveled against Hillary Clinton predictable in both quantity and quality, Manne argues it was predictable that many people would be prepared to forgive and forget regarding Donald Trump's history of sexual assault and harassment. For this, Manne argues, is misogyny's oft-overlooked and equally pernicious underbelly: exonerating or showing "himpathy" for the comparatively privileged men who dominate, threaten, and silence women. ^l
