Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life for an African Painted Wolf is a bitter struggle on the indifferent savanna of southern Africa. Aalwyn is the leader and matriarch of her pack. With a new litter of pups, she must fight for survival against threats from predators, starvation, and the ever present danger of human poachers. Every day is a desperate hunt, a defense against claw and fang, and an opportunity to teach her young how to endure in a world with no room for the wild. Pups are in danger from the time of their birth, and they earn no name until they pass the many tests that nature has in store. These trials are arbitrary and cruel, and none are ready for the menace of scavengers, venomous snakes, and the terrors of night. The fickle bushveld demands blood, and is not particular about the source. The rest of the pack must provide for these vulnerable lives, battle cunning hyenas, evade a malevolent lion that stalks their den, and discover the intentions of a mysterious dark wolf from the north that shadows their pack. From the great rivers of Botswana to the thirstlands of Zimbabwe and the paradise of Mozambique's Gorongosa National Park, the painted wolf pack embarks on a trek to find a home. Their harrowing journey is set against the vast panorama of the vanishing African wild. Wait a Season For Their Names is an exploration of the dramas of the natural world, inspired by the adventure novels of Richard Adams and Jack London. All proceeds of the sale of this book will go to wildlife conservation organizations that protect the African Wild Dog.

Book excerpt: A beautiful commemorative edition of Dr. Martin Luther King's essay "Letter from Birmingham Jail," part of Dr. King's archives published exclusively by HarperCollins.

King criticizes his detractors for caring more about order than justice, defends nonviolent protests, and argues for the moral responsibility to obey just laws while disobeying unjust ones. "Letter from Birmingham Jail" proclaims a message - confronting any injustice is an acceptable and righteous reason for civil disobedience. This beautifully designed edition presents Dr. King's speech in its entirety, paying tribute to this extraordinary leader and his immeasurable contribution, and inspiring a new generation of activists dedicated to carrying on the fight for justice and equality.

Download or read book Waiting on Empire written by Arunima Datta and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2023-07-04 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The expansion of the British Empire facilitated movement across the globe for both the colonizers and the colonized. Waiting on Empire focuses on a largely forgotten group in this story of movement and migration: South Asian travelling ayahs (servants and nannies), who travelled between India and Britain and often found themselves destitute in Britain as they struggled to find their way home to South Asia. Delving into the stories of individual ayahs from a wide range of sources, Arunima Datta illuminates their brave struggle to assert their rights, showing how ayahs negotiated their precarious employment conditions, capitalized on social sympathy amongst some sections of the British population, and confronted or collaborated with various British institutions and individuals to demand justice and humane treatment. In doing so, Datta re-imagines the experience of waiting. Waiting is a recurrent human experience, yet it is often marginalized. It takes a particular form within complex bureaucratized societies in which the marginalized inevitably wait upon those with power over them. Those who wait are often discounted as passive, inactive victims. This book shows that, in spite of their precarious position, the travelling ayahs of the British empire were far from this stereotype.
