Australia on the Brink (Paperback)
Book 11 of 30: In The National InterestLanguage: English
Published by Monash University Publishing, Clayton, VIC, 2023
ISBN 10: 1922633976 ISBN 13: 9781922633972
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In 1996, the first independent national report on the state of Australias environment found that we faced serious problems. With increasing urgency, five subsequent reports declared those problems were all getting worse, each calling for immediate action to protect our future. The 2021 report determined that, Overall, the state and trend of the environment of Australia are poor and deteriorating as a result of increasing pressures from climate change, habitat loss, invasive species, pollution and resource extraction, and warned of the dramatic impact on our health and living standards. It is now clearer than ever that the consequences of long-term inaction are upon us.Accelerating climate change and the loss of our unique biodiversity are the most obvious signs of the grim outlook for future generations of Australians. But the international trends are equally worrying, with quixotic economic systems casting doubt on the wisdom of running down our domestic production of essential goods and services in favour of a dependence on trade. It is no exaggeration to conclude that Australian society itself is at risk.In Australia on the Brink, Ian Lowe argues that the essential first steps in addressing these threats are stabilising the global climate and protecting our local biota. We must also change the emphasis of resource extraction from a damaging reliance on trade to improving our capacity to meet our own needs. This is our best perhaps our only chance of restoring a sense of social stability, and the equality of opportunity that was once a hallmark of this country.

The Lucky Country? Reinventing Australia (Paperback)
Language: English
Published by University of Queensland Press, St Lucia, 2016
ISBN 10: 0702253677 ISBN 13: 9780702253676
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A must-read,The Lucky Country?Reinventing Australiachallenges us all to consider the kind of future we want for our country and communities.Can we reinvent The Lucky Country?In 1964, Donald Horne described Australia as 'a lucky country run mainly by second-rate people who share its luck' in his iconic book. Now, more than five decades later, internationally respected scientist and environmentalist Ian Lowe shows that little has changed after generations of short-sighted leadership.In his frank and fearless way, Lowe assesses the state of Australia in four key areas- our environment, population and society, geographical position, and unrelenting pursuit of economic growth. Highlighting that the global economy and the environment are in crisis, Lowe illustrates the need - and the opportunity - to transform Australia into the world-leading model of sustainable development that we have the potential to become.A must-read, The Lucky Country? Reinventing Australia challenges us all to consider the kind of future we want for our country and communities. Can we reinvent the Lucky Country? Fifty years ago author Donald Horne described Australia as "a lucky country run by second-rate people", adding that its leaders were mostly unaware of events that surround them. In this polemic work, Ian Lowe assesses the current state of Australia and whether it can retain its status of the Lucky Country.

Bigger or Better? Australia's Population Debate (Paperback)
Language: English
Published by University of Queensland Press, St Lucia, 2012
ISBN 10: 0702239097 ISBN 13: 9780702239090
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A comprehensive and detailed analysis of the controversial debate about Australia's population numbers.When Kevin Rudd responded to a government forecast that the Australian population could reach 36 million by 2050 by saying he believed in 'a big Australia', there was a strong public reaction. One insider said that 'the focus groups went ballistic'. Julia Gillard renamed the relevant minister's portfolio 'sustainable population', implicitly criticising pro-growth policies of previous governments. Tony Abbott vowed to 'stop the boats' if elected (thus limiting immigration), despite generally supporting a population growth agenda and clearly having no way of stopping the boats. The Murdoch press attacked both major parties, accusing them of pandering to base prejudice by discussing the social impacts of immigration or suggesting that population growth had negative environmental impacts. It urged politicians to champion what it claimed were the self-evident economic benefits of rapid population growth. The issue is clearly a political hot potato.This book clarifies the subject, as the debate has been confused by serious misconceptions. It provides an historic account of Australia's population growth and an analysis of the data. It looks at the components of the growth, such as birth rates and immigration, as well as the more recent trend of our ageing population. It also analyses the motives of different interested parties, both those who promote population growth and those who argue against it.Bigger or Better? makes the complex and controversial issues around population accessible to general readers and will contribute to public debate about this important topic.

Seller: Rarewaves.com USA, London, LONDO, United Kingdom

This unique book delivers just that. Though the contexts have changed, the examination of ancient events from a business perspective provides a wealth of useful insights on how the process of leadership works. From China's first emperor Liu Bang on vision and Pericles on integrity to Alexander the Great on communication and Ramesses II on courage, Leadership Lessons from the Ancient World combines history with business to show that the universal strategies used by great leaders of the past are still relevant today.

Long Half-Life (Paperback)
Language: English
Published by Monash University Publishing, Clayton, VIC, 2021
ISBN 10: 192246449X ISBN 13: 9781922464491
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Australia has been directly involved in the nuclear industry for more than a century, but our involvement has never been comprehensively documented. Long Half-life tells the social and political history of Australia's role, from the first discovery of radioactive ores in 1906 to contemporary contentious questions. Should the next generation of submarines be nuclear powered? Can nuclear energy help to slow global climate change? Do we need nuclear weapons for defence? Should we store radioactive waste from nuclear power stations in our region?Long Half-life is a timely and riveting account of the political, social and scientific complexities of the nuclear industry, revealing the power of vested interests, the subjectivities of scientists and the transformative force of community passion.'This book is a clarion call for sanity at a time when we can finally get the nuclear monkey off our back highly recommended.' - Peter Garrett'Ian Lowe brings both scientific rigour and personal depth to an issue that has generated heartache and headlines for decades. This cautionary tale is timely and important.' - Dave Sweeney, the Australian Conservation Foundation Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
