In this deeply personal, passionately drawn and richly tuned collection he draws on a lifetime of engagement with the great issues of our recent history and his own moments of discovery and understanding. He writes with unbounded joy of being a grandparent, and with intimacy and insight about the prospect of death and the meaning of faith. He is outraged about the treatment of Indigenous Australians and refugees, and argues fiercely against market economics and the cowardice of climate change deniers. And he introduces us to some of the people, both great and small, who have dappled his life"--Publisher's description.Bloody Good RantAuthors, Australian20th centuryBiographyGrandfathersAustraliaBiographyFaithDeathRefugeesAustraliaRepublicanismAustraliaClimatic changesAustraliaAboriginal Australians, Treatment ofAboriginal Australians, Treatment offast(OCoLC)fst01743348Authors, Australianfast(OCoLC)fst00821807Civilizationfast(OCoLC)fst00862898Climatic changesfast(OCoLC)fst00864229Deathfast(OCoLC)fst00888613Economic historyfast(OCoLC)fst00901974Faithfast(OCoLC)fst01198492Grandfathersfast(OCoLC)fst00946347Manners and customsfast(OCoLC)fst01007815Politics and governmentfast(OCoLC)fst01919741Refugeesfast(OCoLC)fst01092797Republicanismfast(OCoLC)fst01095066History - Biographies - Non-IndigenousaiatsissAustraliaHistory20th centuryAustraliaHistory21st centuryAustraliaCivilization20th centuryAustraliaCivilization21st centuryAustraliaPolitics and government20th centuryAustraliaPolitics and government21st centuryAustraliaSocial life and customs20th centuryAustraliaSocial life and customs21st centuryAustraliaEconomic conditions20th centuryAustraliaEconomic conditions21st centuryAustraliafastAnecdotes.fastBiographies.fastHistory.fastAnecdotes.lcgftAuthors, AustralianGrandfathersFaith.Death.RefugeesRepublicanismClimatic changesAboriginal Australians, Treatment of.Aboriginal Australians, Treatment of.Authors, Australian.Civilization.Climatic changes.Death.Economic history.Faith.Grandfathers.Manners and customs.Politics and government.Refugees.Republicanism.History - Biographies - Non-Indigenous.994Keneally Thomas167688MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9911046662003321A Bloody Good Rant4477392UNINA
