His odyssey begins with a pilgrimage to Bodhi Gaya in India, where the Buddha received enlightenment and ends after he reaches Nagasaki, Japan, in the aftermath of its atomic bomb. His travelling is imbued with the life and ideas of India’s greatest artist and intellectual, Rabindranath Tagore, along with that of MK Gandhi. Hill then travels, like Tagore, in Japan, and meditates on its militarist turn, its warmongering Buddhism and the Tokyo War Crimes Trial, with its riddled post-colonial legacy. He goes to Zen temples, secret islands, and into some of the recesses of Japanese history, all the while musing on his own capacity for inner-disarmament. Hill also has his late father with him, a union man and Australian peace activist, whose dated left-humanism may not be enough for the wars and ruins the West has recently created. The discourse of this incredible work – poetic, mobile, ambivalent – seeks to be an antidote to the political impotence of progressive thought over the last decade. But Peacemongers does not peddle hope, and when it sights hope it tends to be as an epiphany, as it was with Tagore.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BARRY HILL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40523304960186,"sku":"20048921","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/7680\/9658\/products\/20048921_1.jpg?v=1790747128"},{"product_id":"jungle-pilot-the-life-and-witness-of-nate-saint","title":"Jungle Pilot: The Life and Witness of Nate Saint","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRead the story of faithfulness to Christ when pilot Nate Saint and four other missionaries were killed in Ecuador by the people they had come to serve.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"RUSSELL T HITT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41655699341498,"sku":"20010249","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/7680\/9658\/products\/20010249_1.jpg?v=1789709303"},{"product_id":"chinese-beliefs-superstitions","title":"Chinese Beliefs \u0026 Superstitions","description":"\u003cp\u003eMany traditional Chinese beliefs and practices seem strange to people of today, especially Westerners. Why, for example, do some Chinese consult geomancer or fortune-tellers regarding dates and times for marriage ceremonies or house warmings? And why is so much significance placed on when a person is born? The representation of Chinese myths and superstitions is perplexing but interesting. Incredible forces of nature have dominated China's history. Floods, earthquakes, droughts and fires have brought death and destruction in their wake. Through the centuries, the Chinese have learned to read the signs indicating the possible release of such forces. Could it be that fear of these destructive forces led to methods of predicting the future, based on careful observation of Nature; or are the predictions based on mere superstitious beliefs?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is not an academic account of Chinese beliefs, but rather a light-hearted representation of some of the fantasies and superstitions in which these beliefs are shrouded.

Scientists and psychologists have always been interested in the supernatural. Over the last few centuries, some have hoped to use science to prove the existence of ghosts, or clairvoyance, or guardian angels, while others have sought to discredit such phenomena.  Professor Richard Wiseman cuts through the hype and takes us on a breathtaking tour of the simple everyday truths behind extraordinary claims; and along the way shows us some really rather remarkable things about the way our brains work.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n","brand":"PROFESSOR RICHARD WISEMAN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41946922352826,"sku":"20153014","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/7680\/9658\/products\/20153014_1.jpg?v=1787104008"},{"product_id":"christmas-story","title":"Christmas Story","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book immortalises all the aspects of traditional Christmas festivities in Australia.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"UNA WAY","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42163825115322,"sku":"20164386","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/7680\/9658\/products\/20164386_1.jpg?v=1787195504"},{"product_id":"christmas-playlist","title":"Christmas Playlist","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMusic is everywhere at Christmas, chart-toppers, carols, children's tunes...
