How did fears of the Cold War shape Australian images of Asia? What was the nature of the Vietnamese revolution, which some 50 000 Australian troops failed to reverse in the 1960s? How did a small and marginal peace movement grow into the powerful Moratorium and did it have any impact on the course of the War? Harvest of Fear is a beautifully craf

The Naranjo family are longtime residents of Peach Haven. They own an Implement Store and are well-to-do. The family consists of four childrenVeronica, Lisbeth, Mike, and Jimand Uncle Paul and his wife who own the largest peach farm in Peach Haven. Veronica is a student at the university and has been dating Neil, a handsome medical research student for six wonderful, glorious months. However, their relationship started to suffer. Neil started to show his true colors. He was a very jealous and possessive person. He started to continually abuse her. First by slapping her around, pulling her hair, then throwing her on the ground, and kicking and beating her. She loved him too much, so she made excuses for the beatings. Yet when she looked into his eyes, she saw that there was no warmth. They were eyes that only spoke of things Veronica refused to believe. Neil was raised in the house that was used as a family home as well as a research lab. His play as well as sex experiments were with the cadavers. One day, his mother found him having sex with a lovely cadaver. She told him the facts of life. His father was another thing. He took him to the red-light district. He showed him how to have fun then murder the victim. Then one day, he met and fell in love with a beautiful and talented young lady. He loved Veronica as only a young, talented, warped man could love. He continued to abuse her: broken jaw, broken arms, bruises, tortured, and yet there was a good show in public. Until one day, he went too far and admitted that he had murdered her folks for the insurance money and their property. Angry and hurt beyond reason, she attacked him, and a long and bloody fight ensued. Neil got the small gun from the night stand and shot Veronica. She somehow got the gun away from him and shot him dead. However, the body and gun was never found. Just a bloody left arm with Neils wedding ring was found in the bed with a badly wounded Veronica. Where is Neil?

Harvest of Fear is a gripping historical novel that brings to life a family, a farm, and a racial war – in Africa. Johan Steenkamp brings ardent, impetuous Marie home to his flourishing farm in Rhodesia. There is a leopard roaming the bush and, more disturbingly, political unrest among the African population. Johan soon discovers that his young wife has a shameful secret and, as well, the spirit to oppose his prejudiced opinions. Her fortitude, however, wins the admiration, and attraction, of his astute younger brother, Paul. When Rhodesia declares independence from Britain in 1965, the brothers are caught up in the internationally condemned war in defence of their farm. With each stint in the Security Forces the family dynamics shift and intensify – to harshness – to infatuation. In panoramic, authentic descriptions of the African bush and farm life, Marie is left alone and overwhelmed as Shona farmworkers disappear to join the freedom fighters and women of both races face terror in the night. In 1980, Margaret Thatcher’s government negotiates independence – a free Zimbabwe. But how can a man and a woman hold on to hope and love after a heartbreaking loss? Tension mounts as the farm is threatened and Africans and whites struggle to survive in a country sinking under a corrupt dictatorship.

This historical monograph examines the decline of the hacienda estates within Jalisco, Mexico during the early decades of the 20th century. The book also explores the impact of the land reform program of President Lazaro Cardenas in transforming the agrarian economic structure of the region. This study contributes to an ongoing lively debate about the hacienda system and the meaning of the Cardenas reforms. This is an important work because it explores the evolution of a regional socio-economic system that promoted urban industrial growth at the expense of the rural poor. The model of regional development described is applicable to other areas of Mexico and underdeveloped Third World nations with extensive peasant populations. The research for this investigation has wider implications regarding issues of global hunger and malnutrition.

This book is a gathering of thoughts and impressions that occurred to the author throughout her life. These themes of love and forgiveness, of sorrow and tragedy, and of moving beyond the "cry of mourning," are expressed in both story form and in poetry. And by these means, we take the journey ourselves. The stories range from resourcefulness of a slave girl, Sarah, in the tale of "The Two Queens" to Dawn, an inhabitant of the planet Ur, in the science fiction "The Journey." In a play, Amos thunders disaster if Israel does not change its ways, and a poem, "Laid Waste in a Single Night," mourns the birth of our nuclear era. But we are not left long in these darker spots. Lighter haiku of love are sprinkled throughout, while poems of "Resurrection," and the bittersweet love letters of Hosea engage us. The reader resonates as the book strives to make sense of these happenings. And how working through these experiences, we gain strength and thus our lives become more meaningful. As the traveler says at the end of "The Journey," "...life is not the same once one has shared the mystery of love."

This study is the first exploration of the impact of World War Two on Scottish poets of both the front line and the home front. World War One has always been thought of as a poet’s war, one of horror and futility. The poetry of World War Two, by contrast, has long languished in its shadow, though there was a much greater amount of it written. This book asks whether these poets felt they were grown for war or rather that they grew through war experience, with an emphasis on the possibilities of the future instead of cataloguing the senseless horror of the battlefield. How were the hopes of Scottish poets different from their English counterparts? How was their poetry different, and how did it impact on their later lives?
