Grounded in the fact that Gunai Kurnai people have never ceded
sovereignty, the text reorients dominant temporal and colonial
approaches of museum studies to document and theorise Gunai Kurnai
self-presentation and community engagement in the Krowathunkooloong
Keeping Place. Researched and co-authored by the Cultural Manager
of the Keeping Place, Gunai Kurnai Monero Ngarigo man Robert
Hudson, and white Historian Shannon Woodcock, the book traces the
temporal, social and cultural considerations of the Elders who
curated the permanent exhibition in the early 1990s. Discussing
community management of a collection growing through the ongoing
repatriation of tools, art and Ancestor remains, the text also
explores how Robert Hudson engages with visitors to the Keeping
Place and local colonial history museums, and theorises the power
of Gunai Kurnai work with individuals and institutions in the small
museum context. Finally, Hudson and Woodcock demonstrate that the
Keeping Place articulates sophisticated Gunai Kurnai-grounded
methodologies of museum practice in relation to international
critical Indigenous studies scholarship. Self-determined First
Nations Museums and Colonial Contestation provides a vital case
study of an Indigenous museum space written from an inside
perspective. As such, the book will be essential reading for
scholars and students engaged in the study of museums and heritage,
Indigenous peoples, decolonisation, race, anthropology, culture and
history
A presentation of the problems and opportunities inherent in
contemporary banking. It is devoted to the understanding and use of
the capital markets in the broadest sense - to enhance the overall
strength of banks and finance companies. The authors provide
comprehensive treatment of such topics as: money markets; foreign
exchange markets; bills, CDs, and commercial paper; Eurobond
markets; and markets in derivative instruments.
A timeless, little-known literary classic. As the Black Death
ravaged London in 1608, the theatres closed, many people moved out
of town for safety, and playwrights scrambled to find other outlets
for their talent. While Shakespeare retreated to his hometown of
Stratford, Thomas Dekker wrote Four Birds of Noah's Ark, a book
containing fifty-six prayers for the people of London and all of
England. Dekker's prayers bear witness to his deep faith and
profound understanding of human psychology with a power and
poignancy that few written prayers in English literature achieve.
Bringing this devotional classic back into print for the first time
since 1924, editor Robert Hudson has included a fine introduction,
annotated the prayers, and modernised the language without
sacrificing any of its beauty and simplicity. This lovely book at
once surprises and enchants with its literary voice, devotional
heart, and accessible writing.
The standard style guide of the Christian publishing industry, The
Christian Writer's Manual of Style, 4th Edition, compiled by
veteran Zondervan editor Robert Hudson, contains clear guidance on
style questions related to religious writing, including many topics
not addressed in other references or online. Nearly half of this
fourth revision is made up of new material, including information
about turning blogs into books, the effects of digital media on
writing, "adverbial doubles," "vanishing accents," word-choice
strategies, endorser guidelines, and much more. It also contains an
all-new "Word List" which makes up more than a third of the book.
The most needful information remains-entries on capitalization,
abbreviation, citations, fictional dialogue, and more-but it has
all been updated to keep pace with changes in English language
usage. This fourth edition also corresponds with The Chicago Manual
of Style, 16th Edition (2010), though it isn't afraid to chart new
territory where that reference is unhelpful on issues of religious
writing. Comprehensive yet easy-to-use, The Christian Writer's
Manual of Style, 4th Edition, is a go-to resource for Christian
authors, pastors, teachers, copy writers, editors, proofreaders,
publishing and ministry professionals, executive assistants, and
students-anyone who writes or edits as a part of their work or
study-and for grammar aficionados everywhere.
This book provides a broad, interdisciplinary analysis of events
impacting on North Macedonia since its independence, particularly
during the last decade. In the past thirty years, the country has
gone through a series of tremendous changes, including a name
change from 'Macedonia' to the 'Republic of North Macedonia'
following the Prespa Agreement, which ended a long-lasting name
dispute. The contributors consider Macedonia's challenges, its
multi-ethnic/multi-cultural background and its ambition to enter
the European mainstream through the auspices of the European Union
and NATO, amidst a raft of other issues. The volume includes
chapters on international politics and North Macedonia's place in
the region's security architecture.

Flies are the most ubiquitous of insects: buzzing, minuscule, and
seemingly insignificant, they've been both plagues and minor
annoyances for millennia. Rather than ignore these incredibly
mundane and seemingly insignificant creatures, poets spanning
centuries--from the seventeenth to the twentieth--and
continents--from North America to Asia--have found that these
ordinary bugs in fact illuminate deep spiritual mysteries.In this
revelatory book, Robert Hudson considers seven poets, each of whom
wrote a provocative poem about a fly. These poets--all mystics in
their own way--ponder the simple fly and come to astounding
conclusions. Considering Emily Dickinson, William Blake, and
several other poets, The Poet and the Fly brings together the
poetry, the flies, and the poets' own lives to explore the
imaginative, and often prophetic, insights that come from the
startling combination of poetry and flies.Ultimately, the message
each poet offers to us through the fly is as relevant today as it
was in their own time: the miracle of existence, the gift of
mortality, the power of the imagination, the need for compassion,
the existence of the soul, the mystery of everything around us, and
the sacramental, grace-giving power of story.

An epic story of how the GI Bill made it possible for the author to
travel around the world to teach in strange and exotic places, and
still enjoy the luxury of a professional career as a Schoolteacher,
a Scientific Research Analyst; a State Department Foreign Service
Officer, and work for pay as a part-time boat captain. The book is
a collage of episodes describing daring adventures abroad that will
captivate the reader. On private contract he taught school in
Haiti. He tells about brutality and poverty endured by most of the
population. He relates how he was in harms way trying to prevent a
brutal killing. The reader also gets an inside look about teaching
six grades simultaneously in a one-room schoolhouse in the jungle
of Sumatra, far removed from civilization: including some curious
events that happened while living in almost complete isolation. A
portion of the book tells about his research activities. One
unusual experiment shows how devoted a researcher must be. Dr Woke
and the writer sat half naked in a cage feeding hundreds of
mosquitoes for two months. "Thou shalt not kill." While teaching in
Afghanistan, the author gives a detailed account of his adventures
including a solo trek through the infamous Khyber Pass, from
Jalalabad, Afghanistan to Islamabad, Pakistan, and visits to other
countries as well. As a Foreign Service Officer, in the U.S. State
Department, the author shares his knowledge about foreign countries
including Vietnam and Egypt, and related experiences with the
reader. While in Egypt, the author documents memorable and
sometimes risky experiences exploring the Sahara Desert and the
Sinai.
