Book Description
Akɔ́sè Reader and Grammar presents findings of over ten years of research and development in writing Akɔ́sè. It is intended to facilitate the writing, reading, and speaking of Akɔ́sè, the three important elements in language teaching. It consists of twenty-five sections which deal mainly with the grammatical structure or composition of the Akɔ́sè language, knowledge which is intended to assist the reader in reading or speaking Akɔ́sè fluently and correctly. The book deals firstly with diacritics, which, if well mastered, would enable the reader to read easily and fluently. Diacritics indicate the rise and fall of the pitch of the voice in speaking. They play an important role in Akɔ́sè in that they differentiate between tenses and pairs of words of similar spelling and, through that, give them grossly different meanings. Secondly, the book doesn’t provide passages to serve as reading material but instead provides Akɔ́sè words and sentences to be read or learnt. From the reading of words, the reader progresses to reading Akɔ́sè sentences. This is achieved through the numerous sentence drill tables in the book. Numerous exercises have been provided in the book for oral or written work. Anyone who goes through the sentence drill tables and exercises provided will undoubtedly be able to write, read and speak Akɔ́sè with comparative ease and fluently.

Book Description
THE LACK of transfiguration in low-impact African academia with regards to cultivated and insensate academics is largely accountable for Africa’s incapacity to reinvent, transform, and redeem the material condition of the African people. Although this project is essentially a tale of woe regarding the largely unresponsive African academia, it is also methodical in its orientation in a measure to divulge the sub rosa and hegemonic regimes which preclude objective rationality in African intellectualism. Transfiguration is a prerequisite to transformation. The conceptual idea is that responsiveness and transformation are essentially about the pursuit of relative gains. In Africa, transformation can only be achieved when African people start observing Africa through African lenses. This project is intended for researchers and students of Africa as they would be introduced to introspective intuition as a fundamental framework for societal remediation.

Book Description
Syriac is the Aramaic dialect of Edessa in Mesopotamia. Today it is the classical tongue of the Nestorians and Chaldeans of Iran and Iraq and the liturgical language of the Jacobites of Eastern Anatolia and the Maronites of Greater Syria. Syriac is also the language of the Church of St Thomas on the Malabar Coast of India. Syriac belongs to the Levantine group of the central branch of the West Semitic languages. Syriac played an important role as the intermediary through which Greek learning passed to the Islamic world. Syriac translations also preserve much Middle Iranian wisdom literature that has been lost in the original. Here, the language is presented both in the Syriac script and in transcription, which is given so that the pronunciation of individual words and the structure of the language may be represented as clearly as possible. The majority of the sentences in the exercises -- and all of the readings in later lessons -- are taken directly from the Pitta, the Syriac translation of the Bible. Most students learn Syriac as an adjunct to biblical or theological studies and will be interested primarily in this text. Biblical passages also have the advantage of being familiar, to some degree or other, to most English speaking students.

Book Description
Escape From Prison is a composition of sounds, feelings, illustrations and rhythms exuding from real life stories, moments of introspection, reflections on the identity of prisoners, the remote causes of loss of freedom, and instances of escapades into a reverie of an ideal, yet attainable world wherein a peaceful mind finds more harmony in nature than in an exacting and artificial society with mediocre standards. The scenes created are a mélange of current thoughts and events, interlaced with a flashback on past hurts, betrayals, and disappointments. By grappling with these issues, the writer aims to achieve some kind of panacea and mental release. Panic during an arrest scene by the New York police draws back the curtains. Then a window is opened to provide a glimpse of life under detention, lived and observed by a mind that delves beyond that which meets the eye. There are pauses for relaxation, as well as to exhort others in more dire circumstances. As if in an ensemble, after critiquing traditions and systems that defy logic, it ends with a performance, creating room for optimism.
