Are advances in technology working for us or against us? When our
phones become our keys to access everything, will our lives be more
convenient or more at the mercy of whoever can hack into our
devices? Will self-driving cars help us maximize our time and get
to our destination safely, or will they erode the autonomy and
freedom we feel when we drive ourselves? What happens if the
government, in the name of public health, gains access to the data
in our handy fitness trackers and uses it to reward or limit us? In
Neuromined, technology investor Robert Grant and prolific author
Michael Ashley team up to explore questions such as these. Each
chapter imagines a near-future surveillance dystopia through a
riveting fictional tale and provides a companion analysis
connecting the story to our present reality. Entertaining and
provoking, this book shows readers how the technology that has
promised a lifetime of convenience has also constrained a public's
individual options and agency. But all hope is not lost.
Neuromined, at its core, demonstrates how technology, when viewed
through a different ethos and used by a conscientious public, can
instead provide greater autonomy and greater access to liberation.

Forty Days of Yoga is a powerful resource for anyone interested in
committing to a home yoga practice. Drawing on her years of home
practice experience, yoga teacher and writer Kara-Leah Grant
examines many of the obstacles - both internal and external - that
one can face when undertaking a self-directed practice, especially
while living an ordinary life in the busy, modern world. Packed
full of ingeniously practical worksheets and examples from
Kara-Leah's own life, this book invites readers to reflect honestly
and creatively on their own process and aspirations for a home yoga
practice. In this way, Kara-Leah helps readers see that their life
- obstacles and all - can become part of the solution, rather than
being seen as a 'problem'. For more than a how-to yoga book, Forty
Days of Yoga takes readers on a journey into their psyche and helps
them design strategies to make daily practice possible in their
life - no matter what that life is like. Kara-Leah has a
no-nonsense approach that is practical, down-to-earth and also
light-hearted. She's encouraging and supportive but leaves no
excuses left standing. By the end of the book, you'll know what
supports your practice, what undermines your practice, and exactly
what you need to do about it. In addition to helping readers assess
their lives and design their own personal home yoga practice,
Kara-Leah also takes a closer look at yoga. She asks readers to
broaden their definition of yoga and to understand that it's both a
process and a practice. She teaches yoga as a personal practice -
something that supports the needs of the individual and meets them
where they are, as they are. If you're struggling with committing
to a regular home yoga practice, this is the book for you.

In the wake of the Jacobite Rebellions, companies of trustworthy
Highlanders were raised from royal clans to protect the populace,
deter cattle stealing and guard against any possible Jacobite
incursion. Soon after its formation, the companies organized into a
regiment of foot known famously as the "Black Watch," the name
thought to derive from their dark-coloured tartans and their role
to "watch" the Highlands. This book explores the uniforms,
equipment and history of the Black Watch, from their involvement in
the battles of Fontenoy and Ticonderoga in the mid-18th century,
through to the Korean War of the 1950s.
Appropriate for both professional and amateur photographers, this
guide approaches Adobe Photoshop from the technical and artistic
standpoint of traditional photography. Rather than emphasizing how
to distort or create unusual or outlandish digital effects, it
explores the use of Photoshop to achieve very realistic
photographic images. In-depth instruction illustrates how to
duplicate traditional photography and darkroom effects and
techniques and how to use alternative films, specialized filters,
lenses, and camera accessories. Every technique is demonstrated
step-by-step so that photographers can easily follow and duplicate
the effects with their own work. Although not a beginner's manual,
this book is appropriate for all other users of Adobe Photoshop.
Australian local government finds itself operating under conditions
of acute financial austerity, manifested most plainly in a
burgeoning infrastructure backlog. Various policy measures have
been adopted to relieve this financial distress, most notably
recent structural reform programs centred on forced council
amalgamation. However, compulsory consolidation has not only failed
to achieve its intended aims, but it has also served to diminish
`local voice' and `local choice' and left a lasting legacy of
bitterness and division. By contrast, as an alternative method of
reaping the benefits of scale, scope, specialisation and size in
local government service provision, but without all the deleterious
effects of forced council mergers, service shared services offer
significant promise for local government. Councils in Cooperation
is the first attempt to comprehensively explore and assess the
potential of resource sharing, shared services and other forms of
inter-council cooperation in the Australian local government
sector. Drawing on the full weight of international and Australian
literature, Councils in Cooperation evaluates the theoretical
literature on shared services and advances a new conceptual
framework for explaining the comparative performance of shared
service programs in practice. The authors consider alternative
models of shared service provision and investigate the relative
merits of these models. The book then systematically assesses the
global empirical evidence on shared services and explores
successful - and failed - attempts at shared services in the
Australian milieu, providing various case studies of Regional
Organisations of Councils, Strategic Alliances as well as vertical
and horizontal shared service arrangements in contexts as varied as
Greater Western Sydney, the NSW Central Tablelands and Riverina,
and Outback Queensland. The policy implications arising from this
wealth of material are examined in depth in Councils in
Cooperation. The authors present a cogent case for policy makers to
encourage local authorities to pursue shared service arrangements
in selected areas of policy provision so as to reap the benefits
which can flow from larger scale and greater specialisation, rather
than rely on the heavy-handed and blunt instrument of forced
amalgamation. Moreover, heightened cooperation between councils may
well foster a `bottom-up' revival of regional development with much
better prospects for success than the current pattern of `top-down'
regionalism simply imposed on regional communities by national and
state governments.
