Book Description
'Here's your chance to learn and enjoy Big History in a slightly 'deranged' romp.' Dr Karl Kruszelnicki, Australian science communicator, author, and populariser Lightbulb Moments in Human History tracks humanity's big ideas and the eccentricities of those who conceived them. Along the way you'll find answers to questions such as: Why did the Sumerians have temple prostitutes? Just how psychotic was the God of the Old Testament? Why did parents in ancient Greece encourage their young sons to take older male lovers? And what on earth inspired the Mayans to have tobacco enemas? Funny. Irreverent. Never boring. This is not the history you were taught in school. Scott Edwin Williams' Lightbulb Moments in Human History engages, entertains, and provides hope that while times are tough, we're not all going to hell in a handbasket.

Book Description
The frontier between 'law' and 'politics' is not always clear-cut. A large area exists where courts operate, but where governments and parliaments also make decisions. Tim Koopmans compares the way American, British, French and German law and politics deal with different issues: in many instances subjects which are highly 'political' in one country constitute legal issues in another. Is there, for example a 'sovereign Parliament' (as there is in Britain), or will courts control the compatibility of statutes with the Constitution (as in the United States and Germany)? How far can courts go in controlling the legality of administrative action? Are there general legal theories about the frontier between what courts and what politics can do? Koopmans considers case law on a range of issues, including human rights protection, federalism, separation of powers, equal protection and the impact of European and international law.

Book Description
Winner, 2021 NACCS Book Award, given by the National Association for Chicano and Chicana Studies Explores the how, why, and what of contemporary Chicanx culture, including punk rock, literary fiction, photography, mass graves, and digital and experimental installation art Racial Immanence attempts to unravel a Gordian knot at the center of the study of race and discourse: it seeks to loosen the constraints that the politics of racial representation put on interpretive methods and on our understanding of race itself. Marissa K. López argues that reading Chicanx literary and cultural texts primarily for the ways they represent Chicanxness only reinscribes the very racial logic that such texts ostensibly set out to undo. Racial Immanence proposes to read differently; instead of focusing on representation, it asks what Chicanx texts do, what they produce in the world, and specifically how they produce access to the ineffable but material experience of race. Intrigued by the attention to disease, disability, abjection, and sense experience that she sees increasing in Chicanx visual, literary, and performing arts in the late-twentieth century, López explores how and why artists use the body in contemporary Chicanx cultural production. Racial Immanence takes up works by writers like Dagoberto Gilb, Cecile Pineda, and Gil Cuadros, the photographers Ken Gonzales Day and Stefan Ruiz, and the band Piñata Protest to argue that the body offers a unique site for pushing back against identity politics. In so doing, the book challenges theoretical conversations around affect and the post-human and asks what it means to truly consider people of color as writersand artists. Moving beyond abjection, López models Chicanx cultural production as a way of fostering networks of connection that deepen our attachments to the material world.

Book Description
In Ornamental Nationalism: Archaeology and Antiquities in Mexico, 1876-1911, Seonaid Valiant examines the Porfirian government’s reworking of indigenous, particularly Aztec, images to create national symbols. She focuses in particular on the career of Mexico's first national archaeologist, Inspector General Leopoldo Batres. He was a controversial figure who was accused of selling artifacts and damaging sites through professional incompetence by his enemies, but who also played a crucial role in establishing Mexican control over the nation's archaeological heritage. Exploring debates between Batres and his rivals such as the anthropologists Zelia Nuttall and Marshall Saville, Valiant reveals how Porfirian politicians reinscribed the political meaning of artifacts while social scientists, both domestic and international, struggled to establish standards for Mexican archaeology that would undermine such endeavors.

Book Description
The Grail Rider is a spiritual memoir born from a life-altering Shamanic Journey inspired by the overlighting wisdom of the Christos Sophia. Throughout the ceremony, the blue fire of Divinity consumed all falsities of Self, infusing Inaiya with an all embracing love that suspended her in Grace. While she lay motionless on the forest floor, Inaiya communes with her Family of Light and is downloaded with a vivid, multi-dimensional transmission that illuminates the seeding of Universal Christ Consciousness, encoded to blossom within her and the hearts of all beings at this unprecedented epoch in time. Inaiya is shown how life on Earth would be brought back into balance through each being undergoing the inner alchemy of the Divine Marriage. Inaiya, along with humanity, was at a vital crossroads, where her destiny called her irresistibly forth to embark upon an initiatory journey and follow a chain of synchronicities that would unveil the true nature of the Beloved. You are invited to venture along with Inaiya through the mythic Grail lines of Glastonbury, the French Pyrenees, Mediterranean Coast, Italy and Greece as she traces and re-discovers the richly encoded wisdom and timeless transmissions of the Divine Masculine and Divine Feminine as they rise, newly empowered to usher in an awakened New Earthunified in Oneness, sovereignty and resounding beauty. The Grail Rider is not only a holographic travel adventure woven with cosmic codes of light, it is an eternal love story and quest of the Soul, that magically unveils an alchemical treasure map that is altogether paradigm shifting. Steeped in humility, humour, and the transparent quandaries of a modern day Priestess, The Grail Rider is an offering of love, here to awaken and inspire all those who are called to return to the heart of the wild Divine.
