This book examines the experiences of transient migrants in the Asia-Pacific, and in so doing provides new ways of understanding diversity. By focusing on the transient destination hubs of Australia and Singapore, Catherine Gomes shifts our thinking about diversity for two disruptive reasons: the increasingly large and global transient flows of people and our everyday reliance on digital media. The unprecedented usage of digital media influences not only communication patterns and information-seeking behaviour, but has also led to the rapid evolution of the very nature of entertainment and news, and directly impacted on our documenting and mapping of self (e.g. posts of photographs, opinions and links on social media timelines). The book introduces readers to the concept of siloed diversity - a phenomenon which occurs when people rely on a hierarchy of identities developed while in transience to make connections and disconnections with others.

<b>A beautiful work dedicated to mountain addicts and to amateurs who like to travel far from home!</b> <br> <br>Climbing Antarctica is a unique experience. It is a dream that only few mountaineers have had the privilege to fulfill and that you can now skim, thanks to this very nice book, richly illustrated and remarkably documented. <br> <br>Damien Gildea will let you get be dragged into the rich history of Antarctica mountaineering adventure, from the first explorations in the 19th century until the achievements of today extreme climbers. He will lead you at the very heart of the most impressive and remote mountains of the South Pole… <br>Discovering the incredible Antarctica Mountains, emerging from the white hugeness, will let more than one reader speechless. It is hard to figure out that we are still on Earth ! <br> <br>In this volume you can find all the information about the Queen Maud Land. <br> <br> <b>This book is an absolute must-have for all climbers and travellers!</b> <br> <br>ABOUT THE AUTHOR <br> <br>Damien Gidea is a polar mountaineer and explorer. He successfully led seven expeditions in the highest Antarctica Mountains, from 2001 to 2008. He is the author of the book entitled <i>Antarctic Mountaineering Chronology</i>, published in 1998, and of detailed topographical maps of the Livingston Island (2004) and Vinson Mountain (2006). His articles and photographs were published in many periodicals around the world, as the American Alpine Journal or the American magazine called Alpinist. He also led a skiing expedition to the South Pole and took part in several expeditions in the Himalayas, in Karakorum and in the Andes. When he is not exploring, Damien Gildea lives in Australia. <br> <br>EXCERPT <br> <br>If there is one part of Antarctica that has fired the imaginations of climbers around the world in recent years it is Dronning Maud Land, now more popularly known by the English translation of Queen Maud Land. While many consider Antarctica a flat land of snow and ice, Queen Maud Land offers steep rock spires jutting out of the horizontal ice, all sharp summits, blank faces and ridges at crazy angles. They are not as high as the Sentinel Range, nor as deeply hidden as the central Transantarctics, but they are real climbing – narrow, steep, technical and cold. <br>The Orvinfjella is the most famous and popular area, consisting of the smaller ranges of Fenriskjeften (‘wolf’s jaw’) Massif, the Holtedahlfjella and Conradfjella. East of here is the Wohlthat massif where less climbing has been done. Much further east are the Sør Rondane and Queen Fabiola Mountains (also called the Yamato Mountains), which are high and steep, but not to the same degree as the spires of the Orvinfjella.

Around 170 km long, 30 km wide, overwhelmingly mountainous and heavily glaciated, the island actually has two ranges. The higher Allardyce Range runs down the centre of the island, and the lower, rockier Salvesen Range is in the southeast of the island, the two separated by Ross Pass. <br> <br>The BAS 1:200,000 topographical map shows ten peaks over 2000 m, with all but one of them in the eastern part of the island, but more modern surveying may prove some of these to be lower. However, for such a small island, in such a remote location, with such terrible weather, it has contributed a substantial amount of climbing action towards the history of mountaineering in Antarctica.

- Una selección de la mejor fotografía de prensa del año 2021, presentada en el prestigioso concurso internacional World Press Photo, con un recorrido por los acontecimientos más destacados del año. - Las 24 historias ganadoras del concurso, seleccionadas por un jurado de profesionales independiente, a nivel regional y global, a partir de 64 823 fotografías y participaciones de formato abierto. - Desde 1955, el concurso anual de World Press Photo otorga su reconocimiento al mejor fotoperiodismo y fotografía documental del año precedente, este año en un nuevo formato de cuatro categorías, cada una aplicada a las seis grandes regiones del mundo: África, Asia, Europa, Norteamérica y Centroamérica, Sudamérica, Sudeste Asiático y Oceanía. El premio a la Fotografía del Año ha recaído en Amber Bracken, con su imagen de unos vestidos de color rojo que penden de unas cruces a lo largo de una carretera que rinden homenaje a los niños que murieron en la Escuela residencial indígena de Kamloops, en la Columbia Británica canadiense: un silencioso momento de ajuste de cuentas global para la historia de la colonización. El Reportaje Gráfico del Año, de Matthew Abbott, nos muestra la práctica aborigen de la quema controlada de las tierras en Australia y nos proporciona una perspectiva excepcional sobre una posible solución a un mundo que se calienta a demasiada velocidad. El Proyecto a Largo Plazo "Distopía Amazónica", de Lalo de Almeida, revela los numerosos y funestos resultados de la explotación de la tierra y de los recursos naturales, consecuencia de la avaricia de quienes ostentan el poder sin tener en cuenta el futuro del planeta. Isadora Romero es la ganadora en la categoría de Formato Abierto, "La sangre es una semilla", que trata las consecuencias de la colonización, de la erradicación de la cultura y de la pérdida del patrimonio.

<p> Aidan de Brune has been described as the Edgar Wallace of Australia. De Brune was a Canadian-born writer who settled in Australia. His latest novel, „The Shadow Crook,” certainly justifies the claim. It is an amazing story of a master criminal who terrorized Sydney, taunted the police, and baffled the finger-print experts. „The Shadow Crook” raided the detective offices in Sydney, bound and gagged the fingerprint expert, and ransacked his records. Who was he? Why did he take the tremendous risk of breaking into police headquarters? What connection had he with the death of Stacey Carr, and the disappearance of valuable jewels? A very private vengeance stalks Sydney’s underground.</p>

<p> „The Green Pearl” (1930) is the second adventure in the „Dr. Night” trilogy by Aidan De Brune, (1874-1946). Aidan De Brune was a Canadian-born writer who settled in Australia. This second story is gaudy crime yarns, which steadily veers into fantasy by the end (gravity powered aircraft without engines...) and features a very unlikely Asian villain who is as different from Fu Manchu as you can imagine: a small, colorless man of uncertain central Asian origin whose principal obsession is raising money by any means possible (invariably criminal) to recreate a long-dead central Asian kingdom of which his distant ancestors were kings. Most of the stories take place in and around Sydney, although the earliest known is set in Perth Western Australia and one of the novelettes in north Queenslan.</p>

<p>This book examines the experiences of couples with different language backgrounds and different cultural origins as they negotiate love, partnership and parenting. It is based on the author’s doctoral research into the attitudes and experiences of the English-speaking background (ESB) partners of non-English-speaking background (NESB) migrants in Sydney, Australia. In particular, it seeks to understand how these English speakers negotiate being in a romantic relationship with someone who has a different first language. It explores how those from an ESB reconcile the negative perspectives of Anglophone culture towards “other” languages, with their desire to be a good partner who respects the linguistic differences in their relationship. The book is organised into six chapters, which move from a focus on the language of the individual, to the languages of the couple, and then to the wider family. The main finding is that although ESB partners had very different beliefs and attitudes towards language learning to their migrant partners, they attempted to compensate for these differences in various ways. It will be of particular interest to students and scholars in the fields of language education, minority languages, and language policy and planning. </p>
