Turtles Without a Sandy Beach

 

Hope of Sri Lankan Tamil Survivors

The book records the memories of Sri Lankan Tamil survivors who lived through war for over three decades. By creating a three-dimensional presentation, this book provides a dignified healing space for hallowing the memories of those survivors.

First, it uses poetry to capture human rights violations and unspeakable memories.

Second, each poem in this collection tells a story inspired by actual events without fully revealing the graphic nature of life in war. The book creates a healing space for those memories through nature photography.

Standing Firm For God And Nation

Rosalie Crestani wasn’t just a Deputy Mayor – she was a fierce force for change in one of Australia’s fastest growing and most diverse regions. As a Councillor in the City of Casey, home to over 300,000 people from 150 different cultural backgrounds, Rosalie stood out for her bold, conservative values, igniting controversy and heated debates at every turn.

In this compelling memoir, follow Rosalie through the high-stakes battles of local government, where she faced both victories and crushing defeats. A story full of courage and endurance. From her family’s harrowing survival in war-torn Berlin, to the red dust of the Australian outback, to the harsh winters of upstate New York, Rosalie’s life is a tale of grit, perseverance, and the unyielding pursuit of her vision for a better community.

Strap in for the Rosalie rollercoaster – one woman’s courageous fight for her beliefs, a fight that echoes across all of Australia.

How the Rich get richer while the Poor stay poor

 

A philosophical deconstruction of the Australian taxation system and its principles

Our Australian taxation system is an impressive clockwork-like machine with its origins in pre-Victorian times; designed on pre-Victorian principles and with pre-Victorian efficiency. Its workings today, even though falling far short of what is needed in this electronic age, are kept in working order at great expense to the Australian Community.

The author for 34 years was just a worker in Maintenance tasked with keeping everything running as previously. All his pleadings for updating and improving existing plant and functions were met with a glazed silence and just ignored. Instead he made notes of his observations and described in detail the issues causing concern and how a particular function might be made to work more efficiently or, in many cases, retired from service.

This book might easily be taken for a report by a Royal Commission set up for the purpose of looking into and reporting on its inequity, its inefficiency and its complexity. But such Royal Commissions and enquires were held and even examined the issues just mentioned but were unable to formulate the findings and recommendations our author makes in this book.

About the Author

David Jock Nhial is a dedicated and compassionate social worker and author with extensive experience in helping individuals and communities. With a strong academic background, including a bachelor’s degree in Humanities, a Master’s Degree in Social Work, and various other qualifications related to child wellbeing and youth work, he is known for his empathy, excellent communication skills, and deep commitment to social justice. His achievements include publishing two children’s books, contributing chapters to notable publications, and being a finalist in the 2012 Pride of Australia Medal in the Fair Go category.

David conducted extensive research, including surveys with South Sudanese youth in Australia, to understand their struggles with cultural identity and adaptation. He found that many young South Sudanese in Australia have limited knowledge about their homeland. The information written here seeks to bridge that gap by providing valuable insights into South Sudan’s culture, history, and the journey to independence.

Through his book, South Sudan – The World’s Youngest Nation, David aims to inspire young readers to embrace their cultural heritage and understand the importance of unity and diversity. This work seeks to educate young readers about the Republic of South Sudan, which became an independent nation after separating from Sudan. David hopes to empower the next generation of South Sudanese youth, particularly those living in the diaspora, by helping them understand their cultural heritage, the history of their nation, and the significance of its independence.

Bridging the Gap

Bridging the Gap explores our cultural differences and their profound impact on generational relationships. While older generations cling to traditional customs, younger Muslims navigate the complexities of Western influence, resulting in a divergence of values and beliefs.

Through anecdotes and scholarly insights, the book delves into the pivotal role of grandparents in migrant families, illuminating how they serve as custodians of cultural heritage and sources of wisdom.

By fostering understanding and dialogue, it charts a path towards reconciliation, where tradition and modernity coexist harmoniously in the ever-evolving tapestry of Islamic identity.
