Book Description
Beyond the Horizon is the heart-wrenching debut novel by award-winning author Ammo Darko, telling the tale of a young Ghanaian woman tricked into a life of exploitation by her husband. Mara stares in the mirror, searching for the woman she used to know. The sweet, innocent woman that was excited to marry the man her father chose for her, to start a family and live in a house of her own. But her husband had other plans. Determined to make his fortune in Europe, Mara's husband expects her to sacrifice everything to make his dreams come true – but the sacrifice is more than she could ever have imagined... Beyond the Horizon is a gripping and provocative story of the plight of African women, the lies they were sold about life in Europe, and the false hopes of those they leave behind.

The limits you perceive are nothing but your own thinking inside a box. The question of how you can think bigger is not only in your thoughts but in your attitude. How you think is important. And it is you that can excel in any aspect of your life by reaching beyond your limited believes.

Book Description
During the ruthless times of the infernal regime of Francois (Papa Doc) and Jean-Claude (Baby Doc) Duvalier in Haiti lived a man whose hope could be found nowhere but beyond the distant skylines. His confidence birthed a dream that forced him to keep his children on a low profile. They could barely write their names to avoid being detected by the Tonton Makouts who liked no one who progressed. His oldest son escaped through hectic situations, unfortunate circumstances, and irresistible temptations that attacked his faithfulness toward his family honor and his fiance to whom he made a promise before he left the country. Hope was discovered beyond the horizons and life was changed...

Book Description
Society is never just a localised aggregate of people but exists by virtue of its mem-bers' narrative and conceptual awareness of other times and places. In Jukka Siikala's work this idea evolves into a broad ethnographic and theoretical interest in worlds beyond the horizon, in the double sense of "past" and "abroad". This book is a tribute to Jukka Siikala's contributions to anthropology by his colleagues and students and marks his 60th birthday in January 2007. By exploring the near, distant, inward and outward horizons towards which societies project their reality, the authors aim at developing a new, productive language for addressing culture as a way of experiencing and engaging the world.

Book Description
She was broken. He was lonely. Both were trying to emerge from the ruins of their past. Dr Avni, a first-year postgraduate student in medicine, was gathering the broken pieces of her heart, trying to find a new meaning for her life. Dr Aakash, a senior, was trying to lose himself in the chaos of the world, perhaps in his quest to find himself. Somewhere along the journey, they found each other. Their unconditional love washed away all their pain and seemed to open the path to eternal happiness. It appeared that they had finally found their destination until fate decided to throw a challenge where they had no choice but to let go. Despite that, she couldn't let go of her insecurities and fears, and he couldn't let go of her. Love Beyond the Horizon is a journey of love, longing, and loss; a story of unconditional love that transcends time; and of unfathomable destiny that has its own plans.
