Book excerpt: ‘KUMBA AFRICA’, is a compilation of African Short Stories written as fiction by Sampson Ejike Odum, nostalgically taking our memory back several thousands of years ago in Africa, reminding us about our past heritage. It digs deep into the traditional life style of the Africans of old, their beliefs, their leadership, their courage, their culture, their wars, their defeat and their victories long before the emergence of the white man on the soil of Africa. As a talented writer of rich resource and superior creativity, armed with in-depth knowledge of different cultures and traditions in Africa, the Author throws light on the rich cultural heritage of the people of Africa when civilization was yet unknown to the people. The book reminds the readers that the Africans of old kept their pride and still enjoyed their own lives. They celebrated victories when wars were won, enjoyed their New yam festivals and villages engaged themselves in seasonal wrestling contest etc; Early morning during harmattan season, they gathered firewood and made fire inside their small huts to hit up their bodies from the chilling cold of the harmattan. That was the Africa of old we will always remember. In Africa today, the story have changed. The people now enjoy civilized cultures made possible by the influence of the white man through his scientific and technological process. Yet there are some uncivilized places in Africa whose people haven’t tested or felt the impact of civilization. These people still maintain their ancient traditions and culture. In everything, we believe that days when people paraded barefooted in Africa to the swarmp to tap palm wine and fetch firewood from there farms are almost fading away. The huts are now gradually been replaced with houses built of blocks and beautiful roofs. Thanks to modern civilization. Donkeys and camels are no longer used for carrying heavy loads for merchants. They are now been replaced by heavy trucks and lorries. African traditional methods of healing are now been substituted by hospitals. In all these, I will always love and remember Africa, the home of my birth and must respect her cultures and traditions as an AFRICAN AUTHOR.

  • Author : Robert Alan Goldberg
  • Publisher : Yale University Press
  • Release : 2008-10-01
  • ISBN : 0300132948
  • Pages : 368 pages

Download or read book Enemies Within written by Robert Alan Goldberg and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2008-10-01 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: divdivThere is a hunger for conspiracy news in America. Hundreds of Internet websites, magazines, newsletters, even entire publishing houses, disseminate information on invisible enemies and their secret activities, subversions, and coverups. Those who suspect conspiracies behind events in the news—the crash of TWA Flight 800, the death of Marilyn Monroe—join generations of Americans, from the colonial period to the present day, who have entertained visions of vast plots. In this enthralling book Robert Goldberg focuses on five major conspiracy theories of the past half-century, examining how they became widely popular in the United States and why they have remained so. In the post–World War II decades conspiracy theories have become more numerous, more commonly believed, and more deeply embedded in our culture, Goldberg contends. He investigates conspiracy theories regarding the Roswell UFO incident, the Communist threat, the rise of the Antichrist, the assassination of President John Kennedy, and the Jewish plot against black America, in each case taking historical, social, and political environments into account. Conspiracy theories are not merely the products of a lunatic fringe, the author shows. Rather, paranoid rhetoric and thinking are disturbingly central in America today. With media validation and dissemination of conspiracy ideas, and federal government behavior that damages public confidence and faith, the ground is fertile for conspiracy thinking. /DIV/DIV

Book A Witness of Fact

Download or read book A Witness of Fact written by Drew Rooke and published by Scribe Us. This book was released on 2022-09-06 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The compelling story of South Australia's disgraced former chief forensic pathologist and the legal scandals in which he became implicated. For nearly three decades, Dr Colin Manock was in charge of South Australia's forensic pathology services, and played a vital role within the state's criminal justice system: in cases of unexpected or unexplained death, it was his job to determine when a person took their final breath and whether they had died naturally or as a result of something more sinister. Throughout his long career, he performed more than 10,000 autopsies and gave expert scientific evidence in court that helped secure approximately 400 criminal convictions. But, remarkably, Manock, a self-described "witness of fact", did not have the necessary training for such a senior, specialist role, and he made serious errors in several major cases--with tragic consequences, including the apparently wrongful imprisonment of innocent people. The full extent of his wrongdoing and the exact number of cases impacted by it remains a mystery more than twenty-five years after he retired, due to the continuing refusal of those in power to heed calls to launch a formal inquiry into his career. In this book, Rooke examines several of Manock's most controversial cases, and speaks with many of his former colleagues, people directly impacted by his flawed work, and legal experts. At its heart, A Witness of Fact is about how an entire legal system has failed badly, how unsafe verdicts have been swept under the carpet--and how forensic evidence that is admitted in courts of law in Australia and across the world is dubious more often than we would like to think.

Book Stalking Claremont

    Book Details:
  • Author : Bret Christian
  • Publisher : HarperCollins Australia
  • Release : 2021-01-01
  • ISBN : 1460709020
  • Pages : 337 pages

Download or read book Stalking Claremont written by Bret Christian and published by HarperCollins Australia. This book was released on 2021-01-01 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One young woman missing, two found murdered -- the gripping true story of Australia's longest-running homicide investigation ** Winner of the Ned Kelly Award for True Crime 2021** In the early hours of January 27, 1996, after an evening spent celebrating at Club Bayview in the Perth suburb of Claremont, 18-year-old Sarah Spiers called a taxi to nearby Mosman Park. But when the cab arrived, she'd already gone. Sarah was never seen again. Four months later, on June 9, 1996, 23-year-old Jane Rimmer disappeared from the same area, her body later found in bushland south of Perth. When the body of a third young woman, 27-year-old Ciara Glennon, was found north of the city, having vanished from Claremont in August 1997, it was clear a serial killer was on the loose, and an entire city lived in fear he would strike again. A massive manhunt focused first on taxi drivers, then the outspoken local mayor and a quiet public servant. However, almost 20 years later, Australia's longest and most expensive investigation had failed to make an arrest, until forensic evidence linked the murders to two previous attacks -- and an unlikely suspect. Stalking Claremont, by local newsman Bret Christian, is a riveting story of promising young lives cut short, a city in panic, an investigation fraught by oversights and red herrings, and a surprising twist that absolutely no one saw coming.

Book Forensic Investigations and Miscarriages of Justice

Download or read book Forensic Investigations and Miscarriages of Justice written by Bibi Sangha and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 447 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Miscarriages of justice have been the focus of judicial and public inquiries in Britain, Canada, and Australia. The objective of Forensic Investigations and Miscarriages of Justice is to make clear that, despite the rules laid down by statutes and decided cases to ensure that criminal trials are properly conducted, there are many instances where those rules have not been properly applied. In all three jurisdictions, there have been cases in which investigations have fundamentally miscarried and where expert witnesses have given evidence that has been either fraudulent or wrong. The book reviews how these problem cases are dealt with, and the marked differences between the jurisdictions in the procedures available to identify possible errors. The authors recommend ways to narrow the gap between the rhetoric of impartial forensic science and prosecutions and the re-ality of a growing number of recognized miscarriages of justice, emphasizing that both forensic science and the legal system must change and seek to better understand each other.

Book The Marlborough Mystery

    Book Details:
  • Author : Mike Kalaugher
  • Publisher : Becklyn Publishing Group
  • Release : 2001
  • ISBN : 9781877178917
  • Pages : 167 pages

Download or read book The Marlborough Mystery written by Mike Kalaugher and published by Becklyn Publishing Group. This book was released on 2001 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Ben Smart and Olivia Hope disappeared on the morning of 1 January 1998, New Zealand was alerted to try to identify the ketch to which the two young people had reportedly been delivered. Many members of New Zealand's yachting community were subsequently surprised when, despite a number of possible sightings, the police shifted their investigation to Scott Watson whose boat bore no resemblance to the original description. Mike Kalaugher, however, remained unconvinced and continued his own detailed investigation of this horrendous tragedy.This thorough investigation throws into question many aspects of the police enquiry and maintains convincingly that moving the focus of the investigation to Scott Watson distracted them from the pursuit of the mystery ketch and that there is no evidence to suggest that Scott Watson is guilty. This is a sensational and worrying investigation which concludes that the mystery of Ben and Olivia has not been solved.The book is well worth a critical read. This case is another that will not go obediently away - and for uncomfortably good reasons - The DominionAuthor Mike Kalaugher, an experienced yachtie, takes an interesting tack, opting to focus on the yachting-related evidence. The key to this evidence is the mystery ketch seen by key witness Guy Wallace and several other witnesses, but which was eventually discounted by police. Kalaugher asserts, quite convincingly, that the sightings have never been adequately explained, casting doubt on whether it was Watson's boat that Ben and Olivia were dropped off at after the New Year's Eve party at Furneaux Lodge - The Nelson MailAbout the Author Mike Kalaugher is a dedicated yachtie who has an accounting practice on Waiheke Island. He comes from a yachting family and sailing has been his lifelong passion. He competed in the 1996 two-handed Round the North Island race and survived the extreme conditions of the Sydney to Hobart race of 1998 in a 30-foot yacht

Book excerpt: Life lessons from the ground up. Sometimes you reap what you sow. Sometimes you reap what other people sowed. Sometimes you haven't got a clue what you are sowing, and sometimes you just get lucky, or unlucky. All these things are true of life, as of gardening. In this thoughtful and beautifully observed book, journalist and gardening enthusiast Margaret Simons takes readers on a journey through the seasons, through her life, and through the tiny patch of inner-urban earth that is home to her garden. Over the course of a year, within the garden and without, there are births to celebrate and deaths to mourn; there are periods of great happiness and light, and times of quiet reflection. There is, in other words, all the chaos, joy, sorrow, and splendour of being alive.

  • Pages : 294 pages

Download or read book Fitted in written by Satish Sekar and published by . This book was released on 1998-07 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An account of the muder enquiry of 20 year old white prostitute Lynette White who was brutally killed in the early hours of Valentine's Day 1988, this study offers insights into the subsequent miscarriages of justice and aims to expose institutuional failings of the criminal justice system. It explains how followng the murder police issued two photofits of white men, yet 10 months later arrested five black men and subsequently charge three of them with murder. The investigations by a support campaign led by legal authority Satish Sekar forced the authorities to re-open the enquiry which led to the release of the convicted Cardiff 3. The text brings to light new evidence showing the blood groups of the two earlier suspects - both white and both eliminated by DNA profiling - were almost identical to that of the rare grouping found in the dead woman's flat.
