Training with her best friend, Mazin, Talah prepares to dive into the world of the Zodiacs. Gifted by the stars with two abilities each, the twelve signs have maintained balance in their world for centuries. When her chance finally arrives to compete in the Trials and join her people for good, she is all too eager to prove her place.

Download or read book Kent State written by Derf Backderf and published by Abrams. This book was released on 2020-09-08 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Derf Backderf, the bestselling author of My Friend Dahmer, comes the tragic and unforgettable story of the Kent State shootings†‹ On May 4, 1970, the Ohio National Guard gunned down unarmed college students protesting the Vietnam War at Kent State University. In a deadly barrage of 67 shots, 4 students were killed and 9 shot and wounded. It was the day America turned guns on its own children—a shocking event burned into our national memory. A few days prior, 10-year-old Derf Backderf saw those same Guardsmen patrolling his nearby hometown, sent in by the governor to crush a trucker strike. Using the journalism skills he employed on My Friend Dahmer and Trashed, Backderf has conducted extensive interviews and research to explore the lives of these four young people and the events of those four days in May, when the country seemed on the brink of tearing apart. Kent State: Four Dead in Ohio, which will be published in time for the 50th anniversary of the tragedy, is a moving and troubling story about the bitter price of dissent—as relevant today as it was in 1970.

Download or read book The Passion written by Patrick Keddie and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2020-06-25 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1981 a young semi-professional footballer - known as `Imam Beckenbauer' for his piety and his dominant style of play - has his career cut short after a confrontation with Turkey's military junta. His name was Recep Tayyip Erdogan, and three decades later he is Turkey's most powerful ruler since Ataturk....' Turkey is a nation obsessed with football. From the flares which cover the stadium with multi-coloured smoke and often bring play to a halt, to the `conductors' - ultras who lead the `walls of sound' at matches, Turkish football has always been an awesome spectacle. And yet, in this politically fraught country, caught between the Middle East and the West, football has also always been so much more. From the fan groups resisting the government in the streets and stands, to ambitious politicians embroiling clubs in Machiavellian shenanigans, football in Turkey is a site of power, anger, and resistance. Journalist and football obsessive Patrick Keddie takes us on a wild journey through Turkey's role in the world's most popular game. He travels from the streets of Istanbul, where fans dodge tear gas and water cannons, to the plains of Anatolia, where women are fighting for their rights to wear shorts and play sports. He meets a gay referee facing death threats, Syrian footballers trying to piece together their shattered dreams, and Kurdish teams struggling to play football amid war. `The Passion' also tells the story of the biggest match-fixing scandal in European football, and sketches its murky connections to the country's leadership. In doing so he lifts the lid on a rarely glimpsed side of modern Turkey. Funny, touching and beautifully observed, this is the story of Turkey as we have never seen it before.

Book excerpt: After his brother drowned during a family outing, Travis Hemperly fled north and found solace as an expert in Norse culture and the Viking diaspora. Now in his 30's and feeling uninspired by his job with the Canadian Tourism Commission, he lands a tenure track professorship to a historically African American college in Atlanta. Life looks bright, and he is twice-charmed when he runs into an old flame. But "Blackademia" is less than welcoming. Travis has never been in the minority in any room he has ever entered, and he struggles in this new racial context. His new status sparks a memory of a long-forgotten conversation and a possible lynching in Haylow, a tiny hamlet on the Georgia-Florida border. His situation unravels further after a colleague discovers that Travis' father is a radio talk show host for WCTRConfederate Talk Radiowhose listeners debate . . . whether slavery was wrong. Both comic and tragic, Haylow upends the race conversation in the modern South.

Book Synopsis Of War and Women, Oppression and Optimism by : Eustace Palmer
Download or read book Of War and Women, Oppression and Optimism written by Eustace Palmer and published by Africa Research and Publications. This book was released on 2008 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Palmer then on African women novelists. A detailed and absorbing examination of African feminist theory leads to a discussion of novels by Bessie Head, Buchi Emecheta, Mariama Ba, Nawal El Saadawi, and Tsitsi Dangerembga, showing the differing ways in which these novelists explore the condition of the African woman and considering the established as well as new narrative conventions they use to give voice to their concerns. Palmer is particularly impressive in the section where he deals with those novelists, established as well as recent, who deal with social comment, a perennial concern of the African novel and one that is even manifest today. His analyses of Achebe's Anthills of the Savannah, Okri's The Famished Road, Cheney-Coker's The Last Harmattan of Alusine Dunbar, and Benjamin Kwakye's The Sun By Night are particularly illuminating as he shows how these novelists bend the novel form or use new techniques to articulate their own perceptions of recent history.
