Book excerpt: Ten stories of America’s tortured frontier past from the acclaimed author of A Wind of Knives and the Boon trilogy. A drifter gives everything he has to love a woman a cruel world won’t let exist. A family battles hunger and grief against the worst possible odds—themselves. Madness and monstrosities descend upon a group of hopeful pilgrims traveling the westward trails. Ghosts both figurative and all-too-real haunt the men and women of the hostile west from within and without. And a couple of familiar figures—Edward Splettstoesser and Boonsri Angchuan—return one last time from the world of Boon in a pair of solo adventures. “With Horseblood, we see the full spectrum of Ed’s talent on parade.” —Terrence McCauley, from his Introduction
Download or read book Mohammed Chris Alli s The Federal Republic of Nigerian Army written by Maduabuchi Dukor and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2018-06-14 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mohammed Chris Alli is a retired Nigerian Army Major General who served as Chief of Army Staff from 1993 to 1994 under General Sanni Abacha's regime and was military governor of Plateau State Nigeria from August 1985 to 1986 during the military regime of General Ibrahim Babangida. Many years later, he was appointed interim administrator of the state during a 2004 crisis in the state following ethno-religious killings in Shendam, Yelwa Local Government. In this anthology, organized as a symposium on Mohammed Christopher Allis work, he is identified as one of those critical and rational thinkers, philosophers, albeit, a General in the Nigerian Army, whose work finds a befitting logical space in the contemporary African philosophical tapestry. The book also captures the elements of military misrule in Nigeria and its undue influence on the body polity; it is a critical survey of past military misadventures, and a satire against false federalism, it is a firm warning against future corruption and impunity in the military.

Download or read book Foods That Changed History written by Christopher Cumo and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2015-06-30 with total page 474 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Serving students and general readers alike, this encyclopedia addresses the myriad and profound ways foods have shaped the world we inhabit, from prehistory to the present. Written with the needs of students in mind, Foods That Changed History: How Foods Shaped Civilization from the Ancient World to the Present presents nearly 100 entries on foods that have shaped history—fascinating topics that are rarely addressed in detail in traditional history texts. In learning about foods and their importance, readers will gain valuable insight into other areas such as religious movements, literature, economics, technology, and the human condition itself. Readers will learn how the potato, for example, changed lives in drastic ways in northern Europe, particularly Ireland; and how the potato famine led to the foundation of the science of plant pathology, which now affects how scientists and governments consider the dangers of genetic uniformity. The entries document how the consumption of tea and spices fostered global exploration, and how citrus fruits led to the prevention of scurvy. This book helps students acquire fundamental information about the role of foods in shaping world history, and it promotes critical thinking about that topic.
