Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carsi: The Refugee Planet is the fi rst of the Carsian Trilogy by Hassen Dichari. The book will be based off of five major concepts; I have accumulated for seven years until completing in 2011 when I was 21 years old. Christianity, Lords the Rings book series, accomplishments of England and Spain, and my own personal battle with my eating disorder I briefl y went through in 2004- 2005, when this book fi rst came into surface in my mind, and Ufos that they are not extraterrestrials but Demons fl ying around in vehicles of deception and lies. There are fi ve races of creatures that live in Galaxy Dichri called the Gatekeepers, Glushers, Fisheon, Humans and Gulpers. The Gatekeepers speak Felish, Fisheon speak Fishi, Gulpers speak Gulpish, Glushers speak Glushi, and the Humans speak Human. According to Earths terms, Felish is similar to Spanish, Fishi to Arabic, Gulpish to Chinese, Glushi to Russian, and Human to Swahili. The books will be based off of many accomplishments, organizations and beliefs that exist on planet Earth today and over the past 2,000 years. Most of the books in the trilogy will be based on religion, with the Gatish race (called Gatekeepers) being the savior of the creatures of Galaxy Dichri. Sakim is the head fallen Gatekeeper and his followers, other fallen Gatekeepers, are called Mikplutons. Originally named Lucius, Sakim was the Emperor of Carsi 2,000 years ago. He was cast out of Carsi by the Creator itself, along with a third of the Gatish population for leaving the one and only faith of the Gatekeepers Moral Order. Since then, he has been preparing to release the ultimate lie to the four races of Galaxy Dichri (Glushers, Humans, Fisheon and Gulpers). The time has fi nally come for Sakim to return in physical form to deceive, devour and destroy Human, Fisheon, Glusher and Gulper lives and souls with the ultimate lie. The Creator so loves the Galaxy that it does not wish for its creation to suffer like this. So, from the beginning of time, a race of divine kind was created to spread the word of Moral Order after Lucius and a third of the Gatish population of Gatekeepers were cast out of Carsi. When the word of Moral Order would be heard in every country in Gateiniya and Sogyoni, there would be more evil than ever before. To bring an end to it, the Creator would give permission to Sakim to return in physical form. At the same time the Creator would allow the crucifi xion of the Gatekeepers to begin so that the other four races would one day live on Carsi, the Refugee Planet, after this historic event, instead of living in eternal damnation with Sakim on his spacecraft of doom.
Download or read book The Ungrateful Refugee written by Dina Nayeri and published by Canongate Books. This book was released on 2019-05-30 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'A vital book for our times' ROBERT MACFARLANE 'Unflinching, complex, provocative' NIKESH SHUKLA 'A work of astonishing, insistent importance' Observer Aged eight, Dina Nayeri fled Iran along with her mother and brother, and lived in the crumbling shell of an Italian hotel-turned-refugee camp. Eventually she was granted asylum in America. Now, Nayeri weaves together her own vivid story with those of other asylum seekers in recent years. In these pages, women gather to prepare the noodles that remind them of home, a closeted queer man tries to make his case truthfully as he seeks asylum and a translator attempts to help new arrivals present their stories to officials. Surprising and provocative, The Ungrateful Refugee recalibrates the conversation around the refugee experience. Here are the real human stories of what it is like to be forced to flee your home, and to journey across borders in the hope of starting afresh.

Download or read book A Convergent Model of Renewal written by C. Wess Daniels and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2015-02-20 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Convergent Model of Renewal addresses a perceived crisis for faith traditions. How do we continue to value tradition while allowing for innovative and contextual expressions of faith to emerge? How do we foster deeper participation and decentralization of power rather than entrenched institutionalism? Drawing on insights from contemporary philosophy, contextual theology, and participatory culture, C. Wess Daniels calls for a revitalization of faith traditions. In A Convergent Model of Renewal he proposes a model that holds together both tradition and innovation in ways that foster participatory change. This convergent model of renewal is then applied to two case studies based in the Quaker tradition: one from the early part of the tradition and the second from an innovative community today. The model, however, is capable of being implemented and adapted by communities with various faith backgrounds.

Download or read book We re Not from Here written by Geoff Rodkey and published by Crown Books for Young Readers. This book was released on 2019-03-05 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Imagine being forced to move to a new planet where YOU are the alien! From the creator of the Tapper Twins, New York Times bestselling author Geoff Rodkey delivers a topical, sci-fi middle-grade novel that proves friendship and laughter can transcend even a galaxy of differences. The first time I heard about Planet Choom, we'd been on Mars for almost a year. But life on the Mars station was grim, and since Earth was no longer an option (we may have blown it up), it was time to find a new home. That's how we ended up on Choom with the Zhuri. They're very smart. They also look like giant mosquitos. But that's not why it's so hard to live here. There's a lot that the Zhuri don't like: singing (just ask my sister, Ila), comedy (one joke got me sent to the principal's office), or any kind of emotion. The biggest problem, though? The Zhuri don't like us. And if humankind is going to survive, it's up to my family to change their minds. No pressure.

Download or read book A Man From Planet Earth written by Giancarlo Genta and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-08-26 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sometime in the not-too-distant future ... unbeknownst to Earth, the Galaxy is home to a number of spacefaring societies. This confederation enforces a strict protocol forbidding any contact with civilizations that have not yet achieved both a substantial spacefaring capability and sufficient maturity to control the technology explosion before triggering their own extinction. While this policy is intended to only bring in peaceful new members, matters change entirely when the confederation is threatened by some unknown entity - is the menace real or imagined? The confederation decides to break with the rules and sends a delegate to Earth to hire one of the supposedly belligerent Earthlings to investigate and to revive the confederation’s long-unused starfleet. The Earthman agrees, but demands a high price: should he succeed, the confederation will have to accept Earth as a new member. As the threat becomes ever more acute, the question soon becomes which mission will prove harder - saving the confederation or convincing it to accept the deal! The extensive appendix, written in non-technical language, reviews the scientific and technological topics underlying the plot - ranging from the Fermi paradox, space travel and artificial/collective intelligence to theories on possible universal convergences in technological and biological development.

Download or read book Humanity written by Ai Weiwei and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2018-04-24 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Writings on human life and the refugee crisis by the most important political artist of our time Ai Weiwei (b. 1957) is widely known as an artist across media: sculpture, installation, photography, performance, and architecture. He is also one of the world's most important artist-activists and a powerful documentary filmmaker. His work and art call attention to attacks on democracy and free speech, abuses of human rights, and human displacement--often on an epic, international scale. This collection of quotations demonstrates the range of Ai Weiwei's thinking on humanity and mass migration, issues that have occupied him for decades. Selected from articles, interviews, and conversations, Ai Weiwei's words speak to the profound urgency of the global refugee crisis, the resilience and vulnerability of the human condition, and the role of art in providing a voice for the voiceless. Select quotations from the book: "This problem has such a long history, a human history. We are all refugees somehow, somewhere, and at some moment." "Allowing borders to determine your thinking is incompatible with the modern era." "Art is about aesthetics, about morals, about our beliefs in humanity. Without that there is simply no art." "I don't care what all people think. My work belongs to the people who have no voice."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examines how the humanitarian order advances a message of moral triumph and care while abandoning the dispossessed Prompted by a growing number of refugees and other displaced people, intersections of design and humanitarianism are proliferating. From the IKEA Foundation’s Better Shelter to Airbnb’s Open Homes program, the consumer economy has engaged the global refugee crisis with seemingly new tactics that normalize an institutionally sanctioned politics of evasion. Exploring “the global shelter imaginary,” this book charts the ways shelter functions as a form of rightless relief that expels recognition of the rights of the displaced and advances political paradoxes of displacement itself.
