A crocodile pulls a sleeping man into the river by one leg. Another breaks the neck of a swimming policeman. An out-of-luck miner drowns himself in the town's well.
Once called Palmerston, the City of Darwin began in the 1870s. Darwin was a pioneer's paradise: sometimes as exciting as it was dull, full of potential but, too often, dangerous. Not everyone survived.
The first settlers arrived in January 1870 to find very little other than surveyed blocks of bushland sold to distant investors. It was a colony made from scratch, with little tangible reason for its existence until the Overgrand Telegraph Line came through from London and joined Australia to the rest of the world. Then goldl was discovered and hopeful miners rushed north from all over the country. Most went home disappointed, but only if they survived the privations of the bush and the distraction of the pubs. The government brought in Chinese 'Coolie' workers - and they kept coming, gold dust shining in their eyes - until, by the end of the decade, there were ten times as many Chinese as European settlers, and Chinatown was the most vibrant part of the settlement.
Known as Palmerston until it was renamed in 1911, Pugh brings the early colony to life once again through this delightful and colourful account of Darwin's fascinating, unique early history, and the extraordinary characters who pioneered the settlement of the north.

The Iwaidja woman, her belly opened by a bayonet, slipped below the dark water. Her 6-year-old daughter, Reveral, watched in terror. Her baby sister was already dead, hit by a slug in the first volley or drowned, but a young man lying on the sand with his intestines spilling out had to be finished off - out of mercy Reveral, wounded in her side, was carried back to the fort in triumph, for she was worth a 5 reward from Commandant Smyth.
Capturing an Australian was how the British sought to make friends with the Iwaidja, on whose lands the new British garrison of Fort Wellington was being built. It was an appalling start, but eventually, with the remarkable Captain Collet Barker in charge, friendships were established. At last, it looked like a successful trading settlement would follow, the British would live in peace with the local tribe, and they would welcome, and protect the Macassan fisherman, who came annually to the peninsula for trepang.
But then, a twice ship-wrecked captain struggled ashore with the order to abandon the north coast altogether, and the soldiers, Royal Marines, convicts, their families, and even Reveral herself, wearily packed up the settlement and moved on, leaving the fort and its gardens to the Iwaidja. 'Another of our sweet, nice, wise, profitable, gingerbread, out of the way plythings is to go', rejoiced The Australian in 1829.
This is the extraordinary forgotten story of the second attempt at settling Australia's north coast.

Автор: Graham Bright, Carole Pugh Название: Youth Work: Global Futures ISBN: 9004396543 ISBN-13(EAN): 9789004396548 Издательство: Brill Цена: 131500.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: There is on-going debate in youth and community work regarding its future. Driven by processes of neo-liberal governmentality, youth work has been bent in new and uncomfortable directions. For many, this threatens the very telos of praxis. However, despite this, a passionate commitment to youth work’s values and approaches doggedly remains. This edited volume invites academics working in different continents and contexts to move beyond a critique of youth work’s current state, towards imagining different professional futures. Rooted in the profession’s historic values, and drawing on the distinct political and cultural environments that have shaped youth work practice in different global locations, the authors explore possible new routes and approaches for the profession. These discussions are located geographically (in a devolved United Kingdom, Europe, United States, Australasia, and the Developing/Majority world) as well as across different sectors and approaches (voluntary sector, faith sector, online, young women’s work). The result is a rich picture of global practice. This provides both depth and perspective from which to gain new insights regarding possibilities for future practices, which imagine fairer and more participative societies.

Автор: Tison Pugh Название: Chaucer`s Losers, Nintendo`s Children, and Other Forays in Queer Ludonarratology ISBN: 1496217616 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781496217615 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 45980.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: Tison Pugh examines the intersection of narratology, ludology, and queer studies, pointing to the ways in which the blurred boundaries between game and narrative provide both a textual and a metatextual space of queer narrative potential. By focusing on these three distinct yet complementary areas, Pugh shifts understandings of the way their play, pleasure, and narrative potential are interlinked.
Through illustrative readings of an eclectic collection of cultural artifacts—from Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales to Nintendo’s Legend of Zelda franchise, from Edward Albee’s dramatic masterpiece Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? to J. K. Rowling’s Harry Potter fantasy novels—Pugh offers perspectives of blissful ludonarratology, sadomasochistic ludonarratology, the queerness of rules, the queerness of godgames, and the queerness of children’s questing video games. Collectively, these analyses present a range of interpretive strategies for uncovering the disruptive potential of gaming texts and textual games while demonstrating the wide applicability of queer ludonarratology throughout the humanities.

Sergeant William C. "Grandpa Billy" Stallings, a World War II veteran who always took great pride in being self-sufficient and self-reliant, reluctantly moved in with his son Jeb. Now, one year later, early symptoms of dementia are evident and beginning to have an impact on Grandpa Billy's everyday routines and family interactions. Never having imagined the burden his father was becoming, Jeb considers relocating him to an assisted-living facility, setting into motion a series of challenging and stressful circumstances.
The Battle of the Bulge, a well-documented and reported period during World War II, serves as the historical backdrop for Grandpa's stories and the narrative of the story. One of Grandpa's favorite stories, however, noticeably begins to be told differently by him, where his wit and crusty charm are no longer able to conceal advancing health issues. Sadly, the truth of the story is not uncovered until after his death. His son Jeb, a veteran of the Vietnam War, and grandson Colin, a veteran of Gulf War I, learn of the secret through unusual and surprising circumstances, which had been veiled by Grandpa Billy for almost seventy years.
