Delve into *The Coal Curse: Resources, Climate and Australia's Future: Quarterly Essay 78* by Judith Brett, a pivotal exploration of Australia's economic dependency on fossil fuels. This insightful essay highlights Australia's historical reliance on coal and the complex dynamics of the 'resource curse' that has shaped national politics. As a country rich in natural resources yet lacking in innovation, Australia faces a crucial turning point. Brett addresses vital questions: Should Australia double down on coal in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic, which has disrupted international trade and tourism? Or is it time to pivot towards renewable energy and sustainable local manufacturing? With evidence-based arguments, Brett illustrates how the mining industry has perpetuated fear campaigns, significantly influencing the political landscape. This Quarterly Essay details the costs of Australia's coal addiction, the societal impacts of fossil-fuel interests, and the urgent need for effective climate policy. A must-read for anyone concerned about Australia's ecological future and global climate challenges, this trade paperback encourages thoughtful discussion on leadership and environmental responsibility. Discover Brett's compelling narrative about Australia's future and gain insights into the pressing need for a transition away from fossil fuels. Join the conversation today and understand what lies ahead for Australia amidst the global shift towards sustainability.

Perfect day bag!
Color: Upgrade-black, Size: 15.6 Inch
Super convenient and lightweight. I used it for two back-to-back conferences last week and it was PERFECT for what I needed to tote along all day. Fits my regular sized computer (15-16 inch) and even held my water bottle (which is larger than a regular plastic water bottle).

Color: Upgrade-apricot, Size: 15.6 Inch, Color: Upgrade-apricot, Size: 15.6 Inch
Perfect for work! I use it for laptop, charger and few items necessary at work. I have a few blocks to walk from parking to work location and this bag has replaced last backpack and purse. Much easier to carry one item than two or more. Plus, it has enough room if you need to use it for clothes and toiletries (road-trip) or carry-on.
