Travel Writing from Black Australia: Utopia, Melancholia, and Aboriginality (Routledge Research in Travel Writing)

Over the past thirty years the Australian travel experience has been 'Aboriginalized'. Aboriginality has been appropriated to furnish the Australian nation with a unique and identifiable tourist brand. This is deeply ironic given the realities of life for many Aboriginal people in Australian society. On the one hand, Aboriginality in the form of artworks, literature, performances, landscapes, sport, and famous individuals is celebrated for the way it blends exoticism, mysticism, multiculturalism, nationalism, and reconciliation. On the other hand, in the media, cinema, and travel writing, Aboriginality in the form of the lived experiences of Aboriginal people has been exploited in the service of moral panic, patronized in the name of white benevolence, or simply ignored. For many travel writers, this irony - the clash between different regimes of valuing Aboriginality - is one of the great challenges to travelling in Australia. Travel Writing from Black Australia examines the ambivalence of contemporary travelers' engagements with Aboriginality. Concentrating on a period marked by the rise of discourses on Aboriginality championing indigenous empowerment, self-determination, and reconciliation, the author analyses how travel to Black Australia has become, for many travelers, a means of discovering 'new'--and potentially transformative--styles of interracial engagement.

Cannabis: Evolution and Ethnobotany is a comprehensive, interdisciplinary exploration of the natural origins and early evolution of this famous plant, highlighting its historic role in the development of human societies. Cannabis has long been prized for the strong and durable fiber in its stalks, its edible and oil-rich seeds, and the psychoactive and medicinal compounds produced by its female flowers. The culturally valuable and often irreplaceable goods derived from cannabis deeply influenced the commercial, medical, ritual, and religious practices of cultures throughout the ages, and human desire for these commodities directed the evolution of the plant toward its contemporary varieties. As interest in cannabis grows and public debate over its many uses rises, this book will help us understand why humanity continues to rely on this plant and adapts it to suit our needs.

To those who think of ecology as a crusade of our day, it may come as a shock that a woman - one hundred years ahead of her time- was, as a scientist, the first person to be concerned with pure water, pure air, pure food, good soil, product labeling for consumers, nutrition, industrial safety, sanitation, school lunch programs, public health, the fight for women's rights, including the right to be as well educated as men- and much more. This is the remarkable story, by Robert Clarke, of that remarkable First Lady of Science who had to her credit more firsts than any woman of her time. At a time when the earth's population belatedly bleats its rising concern for an environment that threatens to extinguish life in any form, a highly buffed nose is all that recalls the brilliant career of MIT's first woman student; its first woman graduate; and its first woman faculty member - the First Lady of Science and Technology 100 years ago.

Detective George Hobart first met notorious Frank Zeno at Southern California's Del Mar racetrack.  The second time he saw Zeno the man was dead with a bullet in the heart and one in the brain.  It took another death, that of entrepreneur Buddy Starr, to put Hobart on the trail of a murderer.  After that all he had to do was stitch the facts together for the District Attorney. But he was only just able to do it, and even then he had to stretch the law a little.
