Download or read book Surviving the Evacuation Book 21 Our Home Too written by Frank Tayell and published by Frank Tayell. This book was released on 2023-09-17 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A murderer stalks the post-apocalyptic ruins of the Pacific Northwest. A year after the outbreak and nuclear war, very few in the Northern Hemisphere have survived. Fourteen thousand Europeans and Canadians found safety behind the great defensive walls built across Nova Scotia. When they are attacked by piratical bandits who now control the ruins of New York, they have no choice but to flee. Where the evacuation of Britain was a bloodbath, the Southern Pacific fared better. Survivors thrive in fortified enclaves in Thailand, the Philippines, and Indonesia. Thousands of Canadian refugees found a new home in Australia’s Northern Territory, albeit living in hastily built shanty towns where water is scarce and crime is rife. Now they want to return home. While Bill Wright organises the evacuation of Nova Scotia, Kim and Sholto remain in the Pacific Northwest, searching for a new home. Their plans are upended when a plane arrives carrying pilgrims travelling onward to the Middle East, a claimant for the presidency of the old United States, and a killer in disguise. After an assassination attempt on the pilgrims’ leadership, surveying British Columbia and Washington State is put on hold as the search for the killers begins. Finding the shot-caller behind the attack is the responsibility of Commissioner Tess Qwong, whose hunt takes her from crocodile-filled rivers of Australia’s Northern Territory to the densely packed refugee camp the exiled Canadians call home. Set among the radioactive desolation of British Columbia, the undead-filled ruins of Washington State, and the exiled Canadians’ capital in Australia’s Northern Territory, Bill and Kim’s dreams of creating a new and better world are fading, while the prospect of war only grows stronger.

Download or read book This Is Our Home written by Whitney Nell Stewart and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2023-11-14 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The cultural memory of plantations in the Old South has long been clouded by myth. A recent reckoning with the centrality of slavery to the US national story, however, has shifted the meaning of these sites. Plantations are no longer simply seen as places of beauty and grandiose hospitality; their reality as spaces of enslavement, exploitation, and violence is increasingly at the forefront of our scholarly and public narratives. Yet even this reckoning obscures what these sites meant to so many forced to live and labor on them: plantations were Black homes as much as white. Insightfully reading the built environment of plantations, considering artifact fragments found in excavations of slave dwellings, and drawing on legal records and plantation owners' papers, Whitney Nell Stewart illuminates how enslaved people struggled to make home amid innumerable constraints and obstacles imposed by white southerners. By exploring the material remnants of the past, Stewart demonstrates how homemaking was a crucial part of the battle over slavery and freedom, a fight that continues today in consequential confrontations over who has the right to call this nation home.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ”Children’s Literature” always draws me to a special world. In that world, I get transformed into a child. When initially I went through Kavimamani’s children’s poems in Tamil, I admired them. Entering into the exclusive world of children I recognized the wisdom hidden behind them, They are admirable humorous and arouse our admiration. While going through these poems the thought that struck me was that these poems are not only for enjoyment, but contain the art of living. Each poemteaches life’s understanding. Modern children have psychological problems.,the stress they undergo in their education both school and college due to the compulsion of the parents to get first rank and from their peers and the thrust put on them to become master in every aspect have all resulted in their violent behaviour are some of the aspects covered in the poems on ancient wisdom which are relevant for today’s circumstances was a great revelation to me. My daughter,being a young mother always shares the problems of her daughter’s upbringing. Taking cue from these poems I always tender my advice to her and I feel that this information should be shared to other mothers also who can benefit for the upbringing of their children.. Cultural degradation and forgotton traditional values are the causes for the bane in the Indian society which can be corrected through absorbing the finer points outlined in these poems. We have absorbed the lifestyle of our elders. But somewhere, we failed to impart the same tour children and insist on them to lead lives as the elders did, Hence this generation is at crossroads, more confused than ever. By reading the entire volume of Kavimamani Ilayavan’s poems a clarity dawned on me as to how the parents should bring up their wards... There is a vast change in the lifestyle of yester years and that which we live today. The parents are at the crossroads caught between tradition and modernity. These poems through sufficient light on the balance that has to be made in the upbringing of the children. Reading of the book has been a very pleasurable and delightful experience. The entire book seems to be a mirror reflection of my thoughts. When I reflect I long “Oh God! How soon I have grown up! It would have been nice to live the life of a child all over again, When I see the children pranking around me and interact with them, I am living of Kavimamani Ilayavan’s ‘Children’s Literary Poems’ and experience those precious moments.

Gail Larsen, Founder of Real Speaking and Author of Transformational Speaking: If You Want to Change the World, Tell a Better Story An Excerpt from the Book: My ancestors simply could not ignore the goddess who lived among them and continued to appear in their midst. As the culture changed dramatically, Pele was a constant presence from generation to generation. While villages disappeared, species became extinct, churches were established, and governments were stolen, the relationship between the people who lived on the slopes of Kilauea and Pele remained firm as ever; and the people continued to make sacrifices and prayers to her in the same way as their ancestors did centuries before them.
Download or read book The World Is Our Home written by Jeffrey J. Folks and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2014-07-15 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the early 1970s southern fiction has been increasingly attentive to social issues, including the continuing struggles for racial justice and gender equality, the loss of a sense of social community, and the decline of a coherent regional identity. The essays in The World Is Our Home focus on writers who have explicitly addressed social and cultural issues in their fiction and drama, including Dorothy Allison, Horton Foote, Ernest J. Gaines, Jill McCorkle, Walker Percy, Lee Smith, William Styron, Alice Walker, and many others. The contributors provide valuable insights into the transformation of southern culture over the past thirty years and probe the social and cultural divisions that persist. The collection makes an important case for the centrality of social critique in contemporary southern fiction.
