"China, Trust and Digital Supply Chains presents a critical reflection on blockchain technologies in the context of their adoption in China and the world that China is engaged in and shaping. Approaching the issues of blockchain technology adoption and development on China's own terms is critical if policy makers and others are to make effective sense of one of the key dynamics shaping the next few decades of the global landscape. The work challenges the 'trust' trope that dominates much discussion of blockchain technology's application. It argues, contrary to the predominant trust trope, that blockchain is not about trust at all. It shows that China's re-imagining of the 21st century global order is premised on driving intensified cross-border economic interactions without the presupposition of trust, and blockchain technology makes that possible. It also explores the paradox of technological decentralisation being taken up with vigour by a centralist polity, the role of blockchain technology as a critical condition of existence for the successful globalisation of China's digital currency initiative, and the need to devise governance institutions that are multilateral in nature, to reflect the multi-polar nature of decentralised information systems with domestic and cross-border permutations. This book is of significant interest to readers of political economy, public policy, blockchain technology and Chinese studies. Warwick Powell is Adjunct Professor at Queensland University of Technology, Australia"--

A prequel to his ' World's end: British military outposts in the ring fence around Australia 1824-1849, this book by prize winning historian and keen sailor Alan Powell celebrates the small ship's of Australia's colonial Navy. Brigs, cutters, schooners and sloops were pressed into service in a reg-tag assembly of 'seagoing maids of all work', cramped and overloaded with provisions, building materials, livestock and even convicts. The crews of these 'doughty little craft'sailed with courage and often blind faith in their ultimate survival as they toiled through some of the world's most treacherous seas to deliver life-preserving supplies to the military outposts that ringed Australia in the early nineteenth century
"Here is your journey of George Washington Carver, the shy, unassuming scientific genius of Tuskegee Institute, and white businessman Bob Barry, Grady Porter, and Tom Huston -- through the letters they wrote to each other and to others who joined them on a quest to grow the peanut industry in the South by understanding and solving the problems faced by farmers. The letters document a fascinating early example of cooperation between farmers, private business, university researchers, and government policymakers in the early twentieth century. Even more importantly, the story offers eloquent testimony to a lasting interracial friendship in the segregated south -- so much more than peanuts." -- From back cover
Americans often think about constitutional law in terms of high-profile decisions by the Supreme Court - decisions that divide the justices by ideology, not law. This focus often leads to the erroneous conclusion that constitutional law arguments are, and can only be, political in substance. In The Practice of American Constitutional Law, H. Jefferson Powell demonstrates that there is a longstanding, shared practice of constructing and evaluating constitutional law claims that transcends current political disagreements. Powell describes how lawyers and judges identify constitutional problems by using a specifiable method of inquiry that enables them to agree on what the questions are, and thus what any plausible answer must address, even when disagreement over the most persuasive answers remains. Rather than being simply politics by other means, constitutional law is the successful practice of giving substance to the Constitution as supreme law.
The point of this chapter is to disrupt the 'truth' that food marketing contributes to childhood obesity by critically examining how certainty about this relationship is (re)produced through expert knowledge and the unquestioning acceptance of the 'junk food marketing = childhood obesity' discourse. My aim here is to illuminate how dominant obesity discourses work to produce 'regimes of truth' about the relationship between food marketing and childhood obesity; how expertise, power, knowledge, and discourses congeal and cohere to (re)produce the taken-for-granted assumption that junk food marketing = childhood obesity. In a similar vein to Gard and Wright's critique of 'certain' obesity discourses in physical education, my central concern is how scholars – particularly in the field of public health – contribute to the dismantlement of uncertainty (with respect to knowledge about the relationship between 'junk' food advertising and fatness) and the concomitant construction of certainty "where none seems justified".
