Living Hot tells the blunt truth about our current climate change
predicament: it's time to get cracking on making Australia resilient to
intensifying climate extremes. If we prepare well, we can give
ourselves a fighting chance to preserve some of the best of what we
have, build stronger and fairer communities, find a path through the
escalating pressures of a warming world – and even find new ways to
flourish.
To get there, we must leave behind both the doomism and the wishful
thinking currently holding us back. In Living Hot, highly respected
academic Clive Hamilton and policy consultant George Wilkenfeld shift
the emphasis away from reducing carbon emissions and on to making
Australia resilient, outlining a vision for an all-embracing and
on-going program of investment and social change to protect ourselves
from the ravages of a changing climate.
Living Hot is a sober assessment of the challenges we face, and a
farsighted road map for what we must do next if we want to survive and
even thrive on our heating planet.
A story of pursuit, retribution and disaster at sea
The story of the mutiny of the crew of the Bounty led by Fletcher
Christian is well known. That story and Captain Bligh's endurance
in an open boat is available from Leonaur. The Royal Navy, however,
were not about to allow such an outrage go unpunished and it
despatched HMS Pandora to bring the culprits to account. The
Pandora's voyage-told here in two contrasting accounts-is no less
remarkable than that of the Bounty itself. After many trials
including the capture of some of the mutineers it too ended in
disaster. An essential book for all those interested in the Royal
Navy during the great age of sail.
Thoroughly revised and updated, this widely used text offers a
concise introduction to the American legal system for students

interactions with each other and the environment.Unlike longer,
more expensive competing works, "The Dynamics of Law" presents its
subject with clarity and precision, and minimal use of legal terms.
It offers clear explanations of how to brief a case and how
statutes and regulations are codified in the United States. Study
problems and review questions in each chapter, drawn from legal
literature as well as general interest articles and books, are
designed to stimulate classroom discussion.

Stride control (striding) is an essential part of any rider's
development when jumping obstacles, and jumping them well, is a
goal. Understanding and implementing stride control (being able to
adjust the number of strides before and between fences) improves a
horse's rideability and allows the rider to further improve the
horse's technique over an obstacle. Jen Marsden Hamilton discovered
striding from the master himself: former US Show Jumping Chef
d'Equipe credits her as being the first student to whom he taught
the method that he'd learned from Bertalan De Nemethy, one of his
mentors. Now, after coaching countless riders and horses around the
world in the striding techniques that brought her success during
her own impressive competitive career, Hamilton has compiled her
knowledge in a concise book of exercises and insightful strategies.
This fun, approachable guide will help all riders train with
correctness and form good habits at home so they can be stars at
their next jumping or eventing competition. Exercises include
detailed set-up instructions and illustrations for reference; clear
discussion of the purpose and strategy for the training session;
and helpful tips, to ensure all involved are benefiting from the
lesson. Throughout, Hamilton's straight-talk and wry humour
provides entertainment as well as advice, providing an all-around
superb guide to this necessary jumping skill.

The essays in this collection explore questions that are
fundamental to Anglican identity. What do we mean by doctrine and
its development? What does it mean to be Spirit led? What is
holiness, in Scripture and in the church's reading of Scripture?
How might we negotiate in a theologically coherent way the
relationship between the church's cultural context and its
inherited faith? These questions arise immediately from the debate
about same-sex blessings in the Anglican Church of Canada and in
particular the questions posed by the Primate at General Synod
2007. But the questions also stand on their own as deep-seated and
far-reaching inquiries involving who we are as people of faith in
this time and place.
The contributors to this volume are all Anglicans and scholars who
are deeply engaged in the life of the church and committed to its
well being. While all very different, their essays are nevertheless
linked by two intriguing common emphases: first of all on
Scripture, and secondly on the consensus fidelium-the mind of the
whole church through history and throughout the world. In this they
witness to the possibility of an emerging common mind in the church
of Canada: a way of seeing that is both catholic and
evangelical-reading both the tradition and the times and, in both,
reading Scripture. They represent what it might mean to be the
church "in spirit and in truth" in our time. These essays are
offered as an articulation of the guiding principles by which the
church may move forward in a time of serious disagreement, and in
the belief that this approach-at once catholic and evangelical,
rooted in Scripture and in the community of the faithful-captures
the peculiar genius of Anglicanism and, more broadly, something of
what it means to be the Church.
