LAST UPDATED MAY 2018Prior to the Second World War, Japan and Australia had been successful trading partners, but after Japan's attack on Pearl Harbour, Australia was soon at war with Japan. Various attacks by Japan soon followed and the citizens of Australia became afraid and were ready to bolt inland from the coastal regions. In 1942, General McArthur set up his headquarters for the Pacific in Brisbane and, as a result, the city needed a civilian population to ensure the smooth operation of its essential services. Due to its proximity to the Pacific battlefronts, it was a crucial geographic point for resupplying troops in battle - from both sides of the war. A plan was soon hatched to make newsreel films and articles that would not only reassure Australia's civilians that they would be safe from Japanese threat, but, at the same time, they would also be leaked to the Japanese in an effort to convince them that Brisbane was too difficult a city to invade. The Ministry Communications Unit chronicles the creation and development of the special public relations unit that created those movies and articles.It is also about adventure, romance, glory and also personal sacrifice. The Ministry Communications unit, tells the tale of how the unit developed along with the interactions of people causing interest and romances to begin. But nothing in the path of love can run smoothly and as the young men and women become romantically involved they then become shocked by the horrific hospital boat sinking.
With the introduction of Conscription in the 1960s, it was realised that Australia's defence forces would now have access to a wider pool of talented men, other than those that normally volunteer for service.Major Jack Roberts was tasked by the defence department to form a small group from the National Servicemen to take on some unique tasks.He chose three young men that had shown signs of being able to work with anyone from different backgrounds or ethnic groups.These three men were a Christian, a Jew and a Moslem.After being whisked away from their regiment, as it sailed for Vietnam, they were taken to an isolated island and underwent their unique training. When their special training had been completed, they joined the war as intelligence observers. It did not take them long to discover that some of its allies were not being as ethical as they should be. In fact, some of them were actually involved in criminal activities. Because the Australian Government needed to be sure that no Australians were involved, they immediately directed the group to seek out Corruption, Criminal activity and Human rights violations from all sources (including allied forces). They developed into a unique force that as well as reporting on corruption, was soon to give assistance to refugeesTheir activities came to the attention of the United Nations High Commission for Refugees, along with the Human Rights High Commission. With the Australian Government's blessing, they were recruited to continue their work, only now as a UN investigating unit to collect evidence of corruption and Human Right violations in Indo-China.Along the way, their group expanded, and although the original three were only conscripted for two years, they were together until the late 1970s.Although not a war story," Men with a Mission" shows the tragedies that come out of war balanced by the loves and hopes of the future.

La raccolta che avete tra le mani nasce da un'idea o, per meglio dire, da un'esigenza: portare a conoscenza del pubblico un genere ancora poco noto come lo steampunk.Ma cos'è lo steampunk?Se volessimo definirlo in maniera breve e sintetica potremmo raccontare di una Londra vittoriana nella quale la tecnologia si è evoluta in modo alternativo a quello attuale, facendo un rapido balzo in avanti, fino a creare automi e macchine grandiose, ma sempre incentrati sulle tecnologie del vapore e della meccanica, senza - o quasi - l'impiego di energia elettrica. Una tecnologia avanzata ma dal gusto un po' rétro.Proprio per farvi assaggiare questo "gusto" - e la particolare e variegata offerta di soluzioni narrative tipiche del genere - nasce quest'antologia. In essa, ognuno degli autori selezionati ha saputo affrontare il tema proposto secondo il suo personalissimo punto di vista, cogliendo appieno una delle tante sfumature del mondo steampunk. C'è chi ha mantenuto - anche nel tempo e nei luoghi - l'ambientazione vittoriana, aggiungendovi un tocco tecnologico, chi ha ripreso le vicende di personaggi più o meno noti dell'epoca, chi ancora ha voluto adeguare il genere alla tradizione italiana. Tutti, però, hanno saputo approcciarsi allo steampunk secondo la propria visione del mondo e il loro stile di scrittura, regalandoci racconti diversissimi seppur riconducibili a un unico filo conduttore. Alla fine della lettura, tutti conosceremo un po' di più questo mondo meraviglioso e complesso grazie ai racconti nati dalla contaminazione tra la Storia e le fantasie prolifiche e poliedriche dei nostri autori.
L'année 2020 s'annonçait banale, Nostradamus n'avait rien prévu de particulier, tout au plus bissextile, mais on y a droit tous les quatre ans. Et puis voilà , on s'est retrouvé enfermés dans une prison sans murs, sans droits de visite, et sans espoir de libération anticipée. Nos cerveaux se sont mis à bouillonner, à disjoncter, toujours sans espoir de trouver la lumière. Alors j'ai pris ma plume et j'ai tartiné des feuilles et des feuilles, tout ce qui me passait par la tête, et voilà , un livre, pas un chef d'oeuvre, juste quelques chroniques humoristiques et sarcastiques, histoire de se défouler et, je l'espère, de rire un peu.

Japanese Sharpening Stone Heaven is the first and only book in the English language that addresses the full subject of the culture and historic use of the stones that sharpened Japanese Samuri Swords for 850 years. Thru craft and thru war these were the finest gritted natural stones for sharpening the chisels for carpenters who built the largest wooden buildings in the world, and for sharpening the Samuri swords of warlords and their troops.Narutaki Awasedo is a scientific name ascribed to volcanic sedimentation in the Kyoto Prefecture of Japan where these stones were mined from the mountains above Narutaki village and the associated valley of Umegahata. Those same types of stones are still coveted by sword polishers (Togi), artisans in all fields & crafts, barbers for honing razors, museums for the correct restoration and the maintenance of historic katana weapons, sharpening scalpels for surgery and the list goes on and on. Chapters on geology and chemical analysis are for the first time included on this subject.Although just a stone, a rock, so to say, the Narutaki Awasedo has played a role in every war that Japan has engaged in from at least, if not earlier than 1165 to the era of Tokugawa Shogun, and the second world war, beginning for Japan in the mid-1930s. The culture of using sharpening stones in Japan is well established, while at the same time, their sedimentary sources are close to extinction. Museums holding historically important examples of Samurai weapons have stockpiled Narutaki Awasedo sharpening stones for future generations of restorations. Museums outside of Japan and worldwide are concerned that there are no replacements for the unique qualities of these natural sharpening/polishing stones, and fewer Togi sword polishers to maintain the swords.The mineralogy of these natural stones is a field in itself, with experts, scientific papers being vetted, and chemical equivalents being promoted. So far, a replacement has not been certified or acknowledged. The end of an era is approaching.

Andrés conocerá allà a una anciana que regenta una posada y que, al amor de la lumbre, le ayudará a descubrir, sin imposiciones, sin dogmas, que el secreto de una vida plena radica en la difÃcil plenitud de la sencillez.Después de múltiples peripecias narradas con elegancia y de intercalar varios relatos al modo cervantino que suspenden la acción a la vez que la complementan, Tere Guerra nos conduce a un inesperado final. Ni la entrañable anciana ni el perdido abogado son los que dicen ser.

Profondamente Dentro è la seconda collezione di racconti che Massimo Perseghin ci dà la possibilità di esplorare. In questo volume ne troverete quaranta. Come per la precedente raccolta Stupore Sperimentale anche qui si parla un po' di tutto.Ma il tutto che l'autore ci consiglia non è faciloneria. Ancora una volta è un misto di leggerezza, riflessione, mistero, senso sociale, amori terreni e quella mistica che vive in noi intrinsecamente dentro, coperta per lo più da scorie mondane.Non so chi sia stato quello che ha detto che tutte le strade portano a Dio. Forse questo non è il libro adatto per poter trascendere, certo è che se qualcuno lo cerca davvero può trovare l'assoluto anche dentro un libro di stupidaggini. Credo, ci si possa arrivare anche con il sorriso sulle labbra o pensando che in fondo tutto l'assurdo che ci circonda fa parte di un unico sentire.
