Описание: Mick Mathews has enviable outback skills, and when international criminals invade his personal space, it forces him to outwit nefarious, highly trained drug runners. Alexandra Beaumont, a university biology student, drives to Pilbara in Western Australia to study unique flora and fauna. Alex finds out all too soon that the outback is not for the fainthearted. Initially, Mick and she collide. Mick sees Alex as a potential hazard, a worrying liability. However, Alex has some unique skills of her own, which Mick begins to admire. Together, they use their combined expertise to thwart six hardened and sadistic killers intent on making millions of dollars out of illegally imported heroin. Helped by Mick's red dog-Bess, a well-trained dingo cross-Mick and Alex have further advantage as Bess has the wild dog instincts no man can ever possess. A flooded river, capture, torture, and bitter fighting to endure-all seems impossible to overcome. However, with ingenuity, outback skills, and masterful maneuverability, Mick and Alex begin their reluctant fight for survival. During a brief interlude, they have a welcome reprieve, a blissful night spent on top of an escarpment where they bathe with warm water from a shallow gnamma hole. After capturing two of the brutal thugs and imprisoning them in a large gnamma hole, Mick, Alex, and Bess head for the abandoned airstrip where the remaining drug runners await the plane's arrival with its illicit cargo. Mick disables the plane, renders their vehicles out of action, and wounds two criminals. Alex is captured. Mick and Bess free her. After a deadly fight with the remaining two thugs, they capture and incarcerate them with their fellow criminals and radio the authorities. Mick and Alex are rewarded by the government and have found love in the most unlikely place-the rugged Australian outback.

Описание: Outback and Out West examines the ecological consequences of a settler-colonial imaginary by comparing expressions of settler colonialism in the literature of the American West and Australian Outback. Tom Lynch traces exogenous domination in both regions, which resulted in many similar means of settlement, including pastoralism, homestead acts, afforestation efforts, and bioregional efforts at “belonging.” Lynch pairs the two nations’ texts to show how an analysis at the intersection of ecocriticism and settler colonialism requires a new canon that is responsive to the social, cultural, and ecological difficulties created by settlement in the West and Outback.
Outback and Out West draws out the regional Anthropocene dimensions of settler colonialism, considering such pressing environmental problems as habitat loss, groundwater depletion, and mass extinctions. Lynch studies the implications of our settlement heritage on history, art, and the environment through the cross-national comparison of spaces. He asserts that bringing an ecocritical awareness to settler-colonial theory is essential for reconciliation with dispossessed Indigenous populations as well as reparations for ecological damages as we work to decolonize engagement with and literature about these places.

knew. Cheyla Stone overcame all obstacles of his youth to become a well-known identity in The Outback.

Torn between the securities of an empire he had built, and a burning desire eating away at him inside, Cheyla contemplated an endless journey that would take him into the unknown, and across the vastness of Australia.
His only concern was if a few letters, and one only address, would suffice the search for his real Mother, and his roots.

*****
'She stood silently, her head bowed to the graveside.
Her shoulders trembled as the tears streamed from her deep green eyes. She turned, quickly alerted as his boots rolled on the gravel in his approach behind her.
Their eyes met, and immediately he detected something in the depths of them... 'Recognition.'
Then she swayed, and fell towards him.

She was pursued by an outraged mob, denounced in Parliament and never published in that paper - or any other - for many years. This book is part-memoir and part-indictment of what happened to her between then and now.

At twenty-seven, Laine Cunningham seemed to have it all: tons of friends, a college degree, plenty of all-night parties, and a secure job. Yet every morning she dragged herself through a life that was corporatized and overly industrialized, a life that falsely glamorized everything she was supposed to want.
Guided only by a map pulled from an old copy of National Geographic, she camped in the Australian Outback for six months...and she did it alone.
Traveling in a time before Expedia or Travelocity, and without any guidebook or travel guide from Lonely Planet, the trip was never intended to be a vacation. Instead, it was a search for something deeper, something that lay inside. Cheap plane tickets or the cost of the airfare were far less important than the investment Laine made in herself.
The self-guided adventure tour around the country covered nearly 17,000 miles. Hostels were preferred to hotels, and then only when camping under the stars wasn't an option. Otherwise, her best accommodation was the red sand and her only travel guide was her instinct about where on the map to explore next.
Told with warm humor and sparked with suspense, the search revealed a woman's most important discovery: herself.
