Book Description
A forgotten land, a lost heritage and a forbidden love lay in limbo for over a century. A determined spirit has been waiting to reveal the anonymous truth, and now, an unknowing family is about to release the restrictions of the liberations it yearns for. Vivian inherits a mysterious house from her mother. All family members with any relations to her have long since died, and so it seems there is no one to answer her many questions. As she begins the quest for knowledge, unsettling spirits will not let her rest. Her determination becomes a mission to unveil the truth of the past.

The pursuit for clues, the visions of apparitions is all that leads her to the truth of what happened, or should I say, to find the resting place of those that roam. Slaves and relatives of the long ago past battle for freedom, only Vivian has the willpower to be unswerving and set them free. A window of the present reveals a passage to the past...

Book Description
This story of The Author's unconventional lifestyle gives valuable lessons to the many people who leave school and University with no plans for their careers, and are just content to be buffetted along life's highways, waiting for the miracle which will never happen. For the many people who have probably wasted their time at school and University, it is never too late to take charge of their life by positive thinking. Henry Ford was 40 years old when he formed the Ford Motor Company . John Eaton was 26 years old when he decided to throw off the shackles of a comfortable and conventional career as a Design Engineer and ventured into the world of Show Business by opening up a closed down Dance hall. The newfound exctasy of being in charge of his own destiny drove him on to success in other business ventures and a period on the fringes of The Political Scene where he came into contact with Members Of The Cabinet. In addition, the detailed descriptions of of life during his childhood provide an intriguing insight into a way of life which has now become history and will fascinate readers who are accustomed to everyday use of Telephones,TVs, Computers and Motor Vehicles. The lessons learned by The Author about the complexities of human nature, as he navigated through The University Of Life, are well illustrated and invaluable to the reader who wants to "Make Life Happen" rather than let it wash over him. If this book can upgrade the chances of success in a career or improve the quality of life of a reader,then his work will not have been in vain.

Book Description
Bringing together leading international scholars, John Banville and His Precursors explores Booker and Franz Kafka prize-winning Irish author John Banville's most significant intellectual influences. The book explores how Banville's novels engage deeply with a wide range of sources, from literary figures such as Samuel Beckett, Heinrich von Kleist, Wallace Stevens, Rainer Maria Rilke, and Henry James, to thinkers such as Freud, Heidegger, and Blanchot. Reading the full range of Banville's writings - from his Booker Prize-winning novel The Sea to his latest book, Mrs Osmond – John Banville and His Precursors reveals the richness of the author's work. In this way, the book also raises questions about the contemporary moment's relationship to a variety of intellectual and cultural traditions - Romanticism, Modernism, existentialism – and how the significance of these can be appreciated in new and often surprising ways.

Book Description
The companion volume to the twelve-hour PBS series from the acclaimed filmmaker behind The Civil War, Baseball, and The War. America’s national parks spring from an idea as radical as the Declaration of Independence: that the nation’s most magnificent and sacred places should be preserved, not for royalty or the rich, but for everyone. In this evocative and lavishly illustrated narrative, Ken Burns and Dayton Duncan delve into the history of the park idea, from the first sighting by white men in 1851 of the valley that would become Yosemite and the creation of the world’s first national park at Yellowstone in 1872, through the most recent additions to a system that now encompasses nearly four hundred sites and 84 million acres. The authors recount the adventures, mythmaking, and intense political battles behind the evolution of the park system, and the enduring ideals that fostered its growth. They capture the importance and splendors of the individual parks: from Haleakala in Hawaii to Acadia in Maine, from Denali in Alaska to the Everglades in Florida, from Glacier in Montana to Big Bend in Texas. And they introduce us to a diverse cast of compelling characters—both unsung heroes and famous figures such as John Muir, Theodore Roosevelt, and Ansel Adams—who have been transformed by these special places and committed themselves to saving them from destruction so that the rest of us could be transformed as well. The National Parks is a glorious celebration of an essential expression of American democracy.

Book Description
Hilda and Kirt Bromley have set up fifty-three libraries in rural communities in Ghana, West Africa. Responding to a call from the Lord, the Bromleys trusted in Him to provide. They set up a nonprofit organization, collected books, raised funds for shipping, and then traveled to Ghana to meet with local communities to help set up their libraries. The Bromleys view the work as a mission from God to provide opportunities for people in rural areas where textbooks and educational resources are very limited. “The Glory of God is the person fully alive” is the motto of Books for Africa Library Project. This book relates the experiences of this mission from its inception in 1996 to the present time, working with rural communities setting up libraries. There are also stories of Hilda’s childhood in the British colony of the Gold Coast, her youth as a national runner honored by Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, the first president of Ghana, her intercultural marriage with Kirt, and their work with AA and Al-Anon in Ghana. Their stories relate the faithfulness of God from the time when the Lord first spoke to Hilda, “Go build Me a library in Kukurantumi.”

Book Description
An immersive journey into the past, present, and future of a region many consider the Northeast’s wilderness backyard. Out of all the rural areas of the United States, including those in the West, which are bigger and propped up by more pervasive myths about adventure and nation and wilderness and freedom, the Adirondacks has accumulated a well-known identity beyond its boundaries. Untouched, unspoiled, it is defined by what we haven’t done to it. Combining author Matt Dallos’s personal observations with his thorough research of primary and secondary documents, In the Adirondacks rambles through the region to understand its significance within American culture and what lessons it might offer us for how we think about the environment. In vivid prose, Dallos digs through the region’s past and present to excavate a series of compelling stories and places: a moose named Harold, a hot dog mogul’s rustic mansion, an ecological restoration on an alpine summit, a hermit who demanded a helicopter ride, and a millionaire who dressed up as a Native American to rob a stagecoach. Along the way, Dallos listens to locals and tourists, visits wilderness areas and souvenir shops, and digs through archives in museums and libraries. In the Adirondacks blends lively history and immersive travel writing to explore the Adirondacks that captivated Dallos’s childhood imagination while presenting a compelling and entertaining story about America’s largest park outside of Alaska. The result is an inquisitive journey through the region’s bogs and lakes and boreal forests and the lives of residents and tourists. Dallos turned toward the region to understand why he couldn’t shake it from his mind. What he learned is that he’s not the only one. In the Adirondacks explores the history and future of the most complicated, contested park in North America, raising important questions about the role of environmental preservation and the great outdoors in American history and culture.
