Book Synopsis The Pursuit Of The Valdakk by : Douglas R. Maercklein
Download or read book The Pursuit Of The Valdakk written by Douglas R. Maercklein and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2010-05-26 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Pursuit of the Valdakk. A spaceship is missing. It belongs to the alien Tasak, and they have come to the planetary commonwealth of Ancinnion to seek help. The provincial council minister is in no position to refuse the Tasak, and Anadar Tolarin, a political cogwheel with a checkered past, is persuaded to shepherd the recovery operation. It is a simple job that will return great patronage and large sums of money for everyone involved, but there are a few problems. The ship in question turns out to have been missing for eighty-five years. The Valdakk is a warship, and evidently, it carries some secret weapon. The Tasak cannot explain exactly how this ship has become lost, why it has taken so long for them to come for it, or what terrible cargo it contains; however, they are convinced they know where it is. Anadar embarks aboard a powerful new combat vessel, but his nefarious political career has produced enemies, and the selection of the crew has left him suspicious, if not fearful. The dark corners of such a large warship conceal myriad dangers, and he senses only resentment from everyone aboard except the ship physician, a woman without a past. Against his better judgment, he picks up an alien pilot for his quest into the Rim Nebula, and to no one’s surprise, they are shadowed by the ships of a notorious criminal syndicate, the Ultracaan. They locate the Valdakk , but the ship evades them, and recovery becomes pursuit. It is a race now against a treacherous competitor—a contest at gunpoint with each played against the other by a quarry that always seems to stay one step ahead. Every contact grows more perilous, every battle more dangerous, every confrontation more personal. Anadar’s future and the fate of his mission will ultimately depend on the skills and courage of people he cannot trust. The closer he comes to the vessel, the more he discovers about the fears of the Tasak, the motivations of the Ultracaan, and the real purpose of his quest. Anadar Tolarin will grapple with his enemies, his past, and himself before he can face the Valdakk. What begins as a routine military excursion will go beyond the exercise of ships cannon, and he will discover that although much is offered, much is also demanded in the pursuit of the Valdakk .
Book Synopsis Upstream Oil and Gas in Ghana by : Thomas Kojo Stephens
Download or read book Upstream Oil and Gas in Ghana written by Thomas Kojo Stephens and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-05-12 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the myriad issues that play out in the upstream petroleum industry of Ghana from a legal perspective. Focusing on Ghana as an emerging petroleum country, Thomas Kojo Stephens begins by examining whether the existing constitutional framework will be effective in governing the expanding oil and gas sector. Drawing on various approaches proffered by other experts in the field, Stephens looks at possible institutional structures that could be put in place and juxtaposes these ideas with the experience of Ghana to test the efficacy of these proposals. He also explores the types of contractual frameworks currently implemented in Ghana for comparison with other emerging petroleum economies, examining the barriers to effectiveness, novel provisions that must be incorporated, and lessons learned from other regions. Finally, the book highlights how vital it is for the Ghanaian State to monitor the use of petroleum revenue and make ethical investment decisions that prioritize the interests of Ghanaian citizens. Upstream Oil and Gas in Ghana will be of great interest to students and scholars of energy law and policy, oil and gas management, and African Studies more broadly, as well as those working in the upstream petroleum industry.
Book Synopsis Jubilee's Experiment by : Dexter J. Gabriel
Download or read book Jubilee's Experiment written by Dexter J. Gabriel and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2023-04-06 with total page 622 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dexter J. Gabriel's Jubilee's Experiment is a thorough examination of how the emancipated British Caribbean colonies entered into the debates over abolition and African American citizenship in the US from the 1830s through the 1860s. It analyzes this public discourse, created by black and white abolitionists, and African Americans more generally in antebellum America, as both propaganda and rhetoric. Simultaneously, Gabriel interweaves the lived experiences of former slaves in the West Indies – their daily acts of resistance and struggles for greater freedoms – to further augment but complicate this debate. An important and timely intervention, Jubilee's Experiment argues that the measured success of former slaves in the West Indies became a crucial focal point in the struggle against slavery in antebellum North America.
Book Synopsis Globalizing Civic Engagement by : John D Clark
Download or read book Globalizing Civic Engagement written by John D Clark and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-03-29 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Informative and useful.' Development and Change Until recently, most civil society organizations (CSOs) operated at national or local levels. However, new global organizations and networks are increasingly emerging. This book examines what CSOs can achieve, and the barriers they face, when they break national boundaries and sectoral moulds and work with others in global networks. A series of case studies of CSO initiatives reveal how transnational action can yield impressive results in changing policies and public attitudes. The diverse range of CSOs studied includes consumer groups, trade unions, the anti-globalization protest movement, the World Social Forum, Jubilee 2000 and others. All reveal a remarkably similar array of practical challenges, from structure and leadership issues to governance dilemmas. The book offers practical guidance to those engaged with CSOs and contributes to academic enquiry about civil society.

Book Synopsis Black Folklorists in Pursuit of Equality by : Ronald LaMarr Sharps
Download or read book Black Folklorists in Pursuit of Equality written by Ronald LaMarr Sharps and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2023-06-16 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After the Civil War, Emancipation purportedly brought physical freedom to African Americans. As the nineteenth century drew to a close, blacks continued to experience inequality in all phases of American life—social, cultural, political, and economic. In pursuit of equality, African American movements interpreted folklore to reveal in their rhetoric the soul of a race and a path toward civilization. This book provides a comprehensive chronicle of these competing initiatives and their reception starting with the folklore society organized by Hampton Institute in 1893 and continuing through the early 1940s with the American Negro Academy, Fisk University graduates, William Hannibal Thomas, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the Urban League, the Friends of Negro Freedom, the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and blacks associated with the Communist Party USA. Disavowing a culture of fear, money, guns, and death, black folklorists in these movements exposed a racial inner life ranging from loving, loyal, and happy to imitative, tragic, spiritual, emotional, and creative. Each characterization of the race justified a distinct path and possible contributions to civilization. If unable to know their past, members of the movements and other folklorists were fearful that African Americans would be an anomaly among humanity.

Book excerpt: In this luminous narrative inspired by the fascinating real case of “the Blue People of Kentucky,” Isla Morley probes questions of identity, love, and family in her breathtaking new novel. In 1937, there are recesses in Appalachia no outsiders have ever explored. Two government-sponsored documentarians from Cincinnati, Ohio—a writer and photographer—are dispatched to penetrate this wilderness and record what they find for President Roosevelt’s Works Progress Administration. For photographer Clay Havens, the assignment is his last chance to reboot his flagging career. So when he and his journalist partner are warned away from the remote Spooklight Holler outside of town, they set off eagerly in search of a headline story. What they see will haunt Clay into his old age: Jubilee Buford, a woman whose skin is a shocking and unmistakable shade of blue. From this happenstance meeting between a woman isolated from society and persecuted her whole life, and a man accustomed to keeping himself at lens distance from others, comes a mesmerizing story in which the dark shades of betrayal, prejudice, fear, and guilt, are refracted along with the incandescent hues of passion and courage. Panning across the rich rural aesthetic of eastern Kentucky, The Last Blue is a captivating love story and an intimate portrait of what it is like to be truly one of a kind.
