Free Download Intoxication in Mythology : A Worldwide Dictionary of Gods, Rites, Intoxicants and Places By Ernest L. Abel
2006 | 221 Pages | ISBN: 078642477X | PDF | 1 MB
Myths from the ancient world usually have some supernatural element, a component often generated from a particular intoxicant. These substances promoted a variety of states including possession by the gods, liberation of the soul or a communion with the spirit world. From Acan, the Mayan god of intoxicating drinks, to Zagreus, the first incarnation of the Greek god Dionysus, this encyclopedia encompasses intoxicant-related stories from world mythology that explain the origins of a particular intoxicant or how that intoxicant was involved in creating a particular culture. Entries are arranged alphabetically without regard to category (e.g., gods, intoxicants, places, and rites). Different versions of a single myth are presented when pertinent to the overriding theme. Entries record the referenced story, the identity of the culture in which the myth originated, and when applicable, information about related plant sources and pharmacological effects. Cross-references are noted in bold and sources appear at the end of each entry. Appendices group entries by category and by place of origin.

Free Download Into the Woods : The Battle for Tasmania's Forests By Anna Krien
2012 | 322 Pages | ISBN: 1863955585 | EPUB | 1 MB
For many years, the Tasmanian wilderness has been the site of a fierce struggle. At stake is the future of old-growth forests. Loggers and police face off with protesters deep in the forest, while savage political games are played in the courts and parliaments. In Into the Woods, Anna Krien, armed with a notebook, a sleeping bag and a rusty sedan, ventures behind the battlelines to see what it is like to risk everything for a cause. She speaks to ferals and premiers, sawmillers and whistle-blowers. She investigates personalities and convictions, methods and motives. This is a book about a company that wanted its way and the resistance that eventually forced it to change. Updated with a new afterword, Into the Woods is intimate, intrepid reporting by a fearless new voice. Winner: 2011 QLD Premier's Literary Awards, 2011 Victorian Premier's Literary Awards Shortlisted: 2011 NSW Premier's Literary Awards, 2011 WA Premier's Literary Awards, ABIA Newcomer of the Year Award, 2011 Blake Dawson Business Literature Prize 'Written in lean and handsome prose, I reckon Into the Woods might just qualify for that most hackneyed of critical adjectives in the book trade: "important".' --Crikey '[A] penetrating, insightful account of the history and current state of the decades-long battle over Tasmania's endangered forests.' --Advertiser 'A highly readable book ... that comprehensively explains the causes, history and the "truths" of logging in Tasmania.' --Big Issue 'A beautifully wrought, deeply thoughtful on-the-ground look at the struggle over Tasmania's forests' --Bookseller+✅Publisher 'Anna Krien in Australia's young, female Hunter S.
