The eleven stories and two poems in this collection feature all manner of unusual things found in strange places; an alien ship in a forest hideaway, ghosts inside a computer network, a distraught goddess in a detective's office, a teenage busker on a space station. The treasures are varied as well, from lost genomes and altered memories to alien alliances and self-discovery.Whatever waits to be discovered, these stories suggest that sometimes the search is the important part...

"The oak can develop itself, the lion feels its strength through its nerves, but the human has sunk down to the delusion that nature is too stingy towards him, and had only given him alone no positive powers and no innate growth. The human has like any other creature his peculiar stamp; when he does not blur this, he gets to know nature and himself. But when he loses it, then he can indeed play with words and expressions learnt by rote, but he will obtain no sparks of pure knowledge and truth. The truth of humanity is based on the consciousness of immortality!"To show how to obtain the consciousness of immortality, Krebs describes by way of examples a form of letter mysticism composed of the concentrated thinking and feeling of letters through the parts of the body.
A first English translation of Die Wiedergeburt, das innere wahrhaftige Leben, oder wie wird der Mensch selig? - first published in German 1857 and attributed to Karl Kolb - and better known as the Buchstabenbuch. It describes and gives the Biblical foundations for a form of Christian letter mysticism composed of the concentrated thinking and feeling of letters through the parts of the body. This practice was taught to Karl Kolb by the renowned opera singer and esoteric writer Johann Baptist Krebs."In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. [...] That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world." John 1:4, 5, 9.In the word, in the language powers lies life, and these language powers are the light of humanity. These language powers penetrate the darkness of the earthly man of thought, but although the senses see, hear, feel, smell, taste these language powers, the spirit of these language powers, the true light, remain incomprehensible to them. But it is the true light which illuminates all humans who come into this world, for the language powers of nature are not withheld from anyone, whoever it might be, they are a common good, and anyone who always takes up these powers into themselves through wanting, thinking, and feeling (§ 208 ff.), they are escaping the bonds of darkness and sitting themselves as liberated son of the eternal strength at the right hand of the majesty of God.
Recent events across U.S. college campuses-among them, the ousting of Mizzou President Tim Wolfe,1 the campaign to remove Woodrow Wilson's name from parts of Princeton University,2 and pleas to defend minority students against potentially offensive expressions of free speech, such as the donning of culturally insensitive Halloween costumes at Yale University3-amount to a critical moment in our politics. These face-to-face confrontations have laid bare the persistence of yet active forces of racism at both institutional and individual levels. As these events unfold in the context of an extremely polarized and divisive political climate,4 we are torn asunder from each other and our bodies hang, suspended, in the abysses that ensue in the unraveling of communication and the keeling of our erstwhile communities.
In Victoria, Australia, the introduction of Emergency Nurse Practitioners (ENPs) to the health care team in Emergency Departments (EDs) effectively contributed to care for patients with minor illnesses and minor injuries. These advanced nurses treat low acuity patients in an attempt to compensate for the shortage of medical staff in EDs. The implementation of the ENP role has enabled experienced Emergency Nurses to extend their SOP include ordering diagnostic investigations and prescribing medications for minor presentations, allowing care from initial presentation through to disposition. The ENP specialty is the fastest growing of the Australian Nurse Practitioner (NP) models: experiencing a 61% increase in numbers during the period 2010-2013 (Jennings, McKeown, O'Reilly, & Gardner, 2013) the ENP specialty represents approximately onethird of the total Australian endorsed NPs (Middleton, Gardner, Gardner, & Della, 2011). However, the introduction of a new level of nursing within an already well-established ED team has disrupted traditional understandings about the roles and responsibilities of nurses within the ED (Person & Spiva, 2013). Clarification of the ambiguities surrounding the ENP role, SOP, and model of care remains elusive despite the fact that the NP role was introduced nationally in 2000 and in the State of Victoria in 2004 (Driscoll, Worrall-Carter, O'Reilly, & Stewart, 2005; Lowe, Plummer, O'Brien, & Boyd, 2012).
The origin of this research project dates back nearly a decade and begins with a single water bottle. My father, a metropolitan firefighter, who often received free bottled water whilst on duty, brought home one of these bottles after a long shift. I still remember his words, "I thought you would like this bottle because it is pink." He was right. As he handed me a Mount Franklin water bottle with a blue and pink label along with a pink lid, I paid no attention to the label that identified the partnership between Mount Franklin and a breast cancer awareness campaign. I was merely focused on the fact that ordinary supermarket water bottles were now sold in one of my favourite colours. Over time, I purchased 'pink' products (products associated with breast cancer awareness campaigns) on the odd occasion, such as TimTams (biscuits), chocolate, and Avon beauty products; all essential items when you are a young teenage girl. I developed a superficial understanding of the connection between pink products and breast cancer awareness campaigns. I knew that by purchasing these products I was somehow contributing to a worthy cause and was doing my part to be supportive of a disease that I knew very little about.
In the face of adversity, refugees are forced to flee their usual places of residence and seek asylum in other countries. During such periods, many refugees are uprooted from their familiar ways of life. Besides experiencing violence during war or when fleeing to countries of asylum (Horn, 2010a, 2010b; International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, 1999; Ossome, 2010; Pittaway, 2004), some people are separated from relatives and friends, and thus experience a breakdown of social networks that usually provide support (Cernea, 1991; Matsuoka & Sorenson, 1999; Rousseau et al., 2001; Schweitzer et al., 2006). The period after displacement is usually marked by uncertainties, since refugees find it difficult to plan for their lives until they return home, obtain adequate support in countries of asylum, or settle permanently in another country.
Violence against women is now well-established policy in Victoria, following decades of community-based public health and feminist efforts for violence to be viewed by government as a serious social problem affecting women's health and wellbeing. On a national and international scale, violence against women is central to current discussions about development, gender equality, and population health. The World Health Organisation (WHO) calls for holistic, health-based programmes to end violence against women, drawing on social-ecological models that focus on nested levels of context: the individual, interpersonal, community (Bronfenbrenner, 1979). Indeed, the adaption of the ecological model of health represents a significant shift in violence against women policy discourse. Closer to home, for example, the Victorian Right to Respect policy (2009) set out a plan to prevent violence against women, incorporating a new public health approach that pays attention to primary-level prevention activities, that is, strategies to stop violence before it occurs. Such shifts highlight the work of feminist activists and the women's movement that saw violence and health as interconnected issues, and whose determination, energy, and advocacy for women has led to systemic changes in the treatment of violence against women in criminal justice systems and political arenas.
