413,95 kr. Our lives are as unique as our fingerprints. There are no two alike and each is so distinctly our own that it is capable of carrying our identity with just a single touch. Our homes can be just as distinct-- a unique expression and reflection of our personalities, an invigorating sanctuary that welcomes us just as we are. Interior and furniture designer by trade, and spiritual healer at heart, Bea Pila has created Sacred Spaces for Inspired Living as a guide to Design Enlightenment. Her pioneering movement and process grants us the freedom to tap into our hearts and souls as our guide, rather than past conventions of what should be and what once was.

- A Story from Down Under
243,95 kr. Like a lot of stories, novels or fairy tales, Princess Kawalo is a magical spirit-like character totally created by the author. Some elements of the story came about after he was told of an old Japanese story related by a Japanese exchange student who stayed at his home for six months. Williams loves Fraser Island and its purebred dingoes and visualized how he could develop and create a unique story blending the island and highlighting the desperate plight of the Australian dingo. The factual account of a Moha Moha sighting on 8th June 1890 by a European school teacher at Sandy Cape presented another opportunity and its integral involvement with Aboriginal culture using Wangoolba as the central character. They were all existing elements on Fraser Island used in the author's previous published works. Thanks also to Archibald Meston the Protector of Aboriginies who said a hundred years earlier (1905) in a letter to the Under Secretary for Public Lands (the first European manager on the island), "...the place names given for the first time to save them before they would be lost forever". This story seeks to preserve those indigenous names further and some proudly have been applied here for heritage and in the context of furthering learning and cross-cultural understanding. Perhaps they were elements just begging by a touch of magic to be reunited and brought together in an enjoyable mythological and understandable way. Despite dealing in parts with cultures different from our own, Wangoolba Prince Amongst Dingoes remains impressive. This is Fred's first historic novel for children and young adults and makes a further welcome and valuable contribution to that understanding.

- Bred to be Wild - From the Diary of Naturalist Des Hackett
233,95 kr. The endangered Leadbeater's Possum, once considered to be extinct, is the Victorian State faunal emblem. Shortly after its rediscovery in 1960, naturalist Des Hackett began his successful quest to breed the animal in captivity. Bred To Be Wild documents the work of Des Hackett, including his struggle with wildlife authorities after handing over thriving colonies of Leadbeater's Possum to zoos throughout Australia. While initially, breeding programs were a great success and Leadbeater's Possum were sent to other zoos throughout the world, they were never released into the wild. Breeding programs have since stopped and only two individuals remain alive in captivity today. "With just two Leadbeater's Possum left in captivity in Australia, the publication of this book is very timely. It will provoke public debate about the future management of this endangered species while at the same time provide a fascinating insight to the behaviour of the Leadbeater's Possum. It is a good read too." Sera Blair President - Friends of the LeadbeaterÕs Possum Inc. "Des Hackett worked tirelessly to provide zoos throughout the world with thriving colonies of Leadbeater's Possum. His dream, documented by this book, was to see his captive-bred Leadbeater's released into the wild. Unfortunately, the wild population is still on the decline as logging continues throughout much of their natural range and the species has become virtually extinct in captivity. We may have missed our opportunity to turn the tide of extinction for Victoria's State emblem." David Swinson Secretary - Upper Yarra Conservation Society "This book questions the function of zoos in terms of conservation and exposes AustraliaÕs wildlife authorities as incompetent in terms of protecting our wildlife heritage. Would we allow this to happen to the panda or gorillas? When will we learn to truly appreciate our native wildlife?" Maryland Wilson President - Australian Wildlife Protection Council
