Is something missing from your life? Impossible to put into words. Religion, faddy diets, exercise regimes, even science and the search for knowledge, none of these fill the void in your soul. One night in 2011 hell opened, chewed and swallowed me. From this came an understanding. On one hand it is mundane, some may shrug their shoulders and say "So what?" On the other hand it reveals how extraordinary nature is. It only says what and why the void is, there is no offer of a solution to fil...

Aboriginal Biocultural Knowledge in South-eastern Australia is the first book to examine ...

There is a good reason why Uganda is called "the Pearl of Africa." Beyond the ideal climate, abundant wildlife, and spectacular natural beauty, the friendly and good-humored Ugandan people make this country different. Drawn from more than twenty tribes, they represent a tapestry of traditions, ethnicities, and cultures. As a society they are devoutly religious and conservative; as individuals they are surprisingly laid back. English is widely spoken but there are many cultural pitfalls to ...
