HarperCollins, 2007. Hardcover in Dustjacket. Near Fine. MIND BODY SPIRITA third of our time on earth is spent sleeping, yet our dreams, if we remember them at all, have been relegated to nothing more than curious anecdotes. When Sigmund Freud awakened modern interest in the dream a century ago, his theory of interpretation undermined the potential insights dreams had to offer. For Freud, dreams were little more than fragmented puzzle parts made up of events from our waking lives. Most of us today still live under Freud's far-reaching influence. When we wake up after experiencing a powerful series of images, we too readily explain them away or simply ignore them all together. Whatever emotion or insight the dream evokes slowly fades. But what if Freud was wrong? Unless we challenge his deeply-ingrained assumptions, we will forever lose the gift of our dreams. International bestselling author Rodger Kamenetz believes it is not too late to reclaim the lost power of our nightly visions. Kamenetz's… Read More

MacMillan, 1943. Hardcover in Dustjacket. Very Good. Shelf wear to jacket.. GENERAL MILITARY R.A.F. World War IIR.A.F. stories ""The Fire Was Bright (Macmillan Co.) should go down as among the best of the war.The author, at 32, is a veteran of Fleet Street, the Ministry of Information and Bomber Command, a graduate of both Oxford and the Bar of the Inner Temple. Don Carlson's review follows: To a reviewer, a book like this, unheralded and not hailed as a classic, comes as a breath of fresh air in the often stale draught of war yarns hitting the market The skill of Kark's literary artistry, and it is no cliche to call it that, will make you laugh at the young RAF bomber men and their glorious disregard for tradition; and will knot your throat with its touches of tender tragedy. A local touch is the story of the Englishman, Theodore James Rowlinson, who worked on a farm near Sumas Prairie, and went to Chilliwack where he met his first girl. Later, he returned to England before the war and joined… Read More

CRC Press, Taylor & Francis Group, 2008. Softcover. Fine.

Following an introductory overview of the issues of concern, the book illustrates how environmental impact assessment as defined in ""The Equator Principles"", integrates with the mining lifecycle, and how environmental assessment aims to eliminate the negative and to accentuate the positive mining impacts.

John Wiley & Sons, 2020. Softcover. FINE!. AUSTRALIANA Aboriginal IndigenousOodgeroos writing has a unique place in Australian literature. When her poetry was first published in the 1960s, Kath Walker, as she was known then, provided a brave new voice for marginalised Aboriginal Australians. For the first time, an Aboriginal Australian was analysing and judging white Australians as well as her own people. She often made provocative and passionate pleas for justice: We want hope, not racialism, Brotherhood, not ostracism, Black advance, not white ascendance: Make us equals, not dependants. This collection of poetry and prose is a reminder of Oodgeroos contribution to Indigenous culture and the journey toward reconciliation. All Australians should be proud of this poet who dedicated her life to her people and her land.pp. ix, 131 #100224 Elizabeth's Bookshops have been one of Australia's premier independent book dealers since 1973.

Hachette, 2002. Softcover. AS NEW COPY!.

Pandanus Books, 2003. Softcover. Near Fine.

The Author, 2019. Hardcover in Dustjacket. FINE!. BIOGRAPHY ""Australian football measures its players by skills and bravado that sets the great Australian game apart from many others. At Unley, in suburban Adelaide, Scott Field's name is remembered for his six senior seasons, his 125 SANFL league games, his 127 goals and his best-and-fairest award in 1992 at the Stuart Football Club. But the real measure of Field's strength was far from any sporting field. And far from home. At 24, Field spent 24 days in a Palestine Liberation Organization camp in the Middle East, hoping to get close enough to quiz then-Palestinian leader Yassar Arafat. This trip gave Field first-hand insight into the conflict in the Middle East and marked the beginning of his pursuit for peace in the region. Field's untimely death in 2014 on Mont Blanc-while serving as special envoy to Syria for the United Nations-left many who had known this young man from Adelaide as 'just a footballer' to marvel at all he had achieved in the… Read More
