Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 160
Book Description
Omega has grown up surrounded by women – literally. Inside the palisade, women fall in love, marry and raise daughters, relying on an artificial insemination process known as the Procedure. But something goes horribly wrong. One day, Omega comes face to face with a mythical monster – a man – within the society’s walls. Men had been eradicated long ago to protect women from the threat of violence. But this boy is not what Omega has been led to believe. And he needs her help. She soon finds herself embroiled in a manhunt headed by a vigilante Protector, Commander Theta. When she falls into Theta’s clutches, Omega realizes that there’s more to the banishment of men, and to her own past, than she’s ever known. Ultimately, she is forced to make a choice between betraying the lost boy and betraying her society, a decision complicated by the realization that she has more in common with him than she cares to admit, and the fact that she is developing feelings for him.

The Literature and Arts of the Niger Delta
Author: Tanure Ojaide
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1000379051
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 285
Book Description
This book examines the depiction of the Delta region of Nigeria through literature and other cultural art forms. The Niger Delta has been thrust into the global limelight due to resource extraction and conflict, but it is also a region with a rich culture, environment, and heritage. The creative imagination of the area’s artists has been fuelled by the area’s pressing concerns of indigenous peoples, minority discourse, environmental degradation, climate change, multinational corporations' greed, dictatorship, and people’s struggle for control of their resources. Taking a holistic approach to the Niger Delta experience, this book showcases artistic responses from literature, visual arts, and performances (such as masquerades, dances, and festivals). Chapters cover authors, artists, and performers such as Ben Okri, Ken Saro-Wiwa, Isidore Okpewho, J.P. Clark, and Bruce Onobrakpeya, as well as topics like the famous Benin bronze figures and Urhobo Udje dance. Affirming the wealth and diversity of the region which continues to inspire creative artistic productions, The Literature and Arts of the Niger Delta will be of interest to researchers of African literature, arts, and other cultural productions.

The Last Letter
Author: SSgt. Jacob Parkinson
Publisher: Dorrance Publishing
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 399
Book Description
Former Marines Doherty, James and Parks nestle soundly around a campfire deep in the wilds of Northern Idaho; set to reminisce on long forgotten memories spent together with their fellow Grunts, their brothers of 1st Squad, 2nd platoon. Brothers too busy or haunted to join the three for this secluded reunion. Each infantry Marine struggles with his own harassing demons, one more than the other two but when the three former infantrymen are thrown into chaos, their reunion becomes a battle for their lives. The outcome will test the very limits of 1st Squad’s brotherhood, loyalty, and an undeniable bond formed on the battlefields over twenty years earlier. While not shying away from the complexities of combat and the scars it can leave behind, The Last Letter provides vivid insight into the bond shared by combat Marines, a bond that says they’ll fight for each other, they’ll die for each other, a bond that may very well last beyond death. Although this book is a fictional narrative, the experiences, guilt and emotions shared by the characters throughout the novel are based on real world applications from the author’s turbulent pas. About the Author SSgt. Jacob Parkinson was born on an Air Force base in northern California, moved to Texas at age 4, joined the United States Marine Corps at age 21. While serving with India Co 3⁄5, a boat company; a then Sgt. Parkinson and fellow squad leader, each lost half their squads, during the April 8, 2000 MV-22 Osprey crash in Marana, Arizona, on a first use infantry deployment of the experimental aircraft. Sgt. Parkinson would go onto serve one combat tour to the Al Anbar Province, Iraq, dubbed The Red Triangle, from 2004-2005 as an infantry squad leader, Bravo Co 1/23. At the time, Sgt. Parkinson and his squad, would stand defiantly against the cowardice of their platoon commander, outside of Fallujah, zero-dark-thirty. That moment will seal the concrete bond formed by 1st squad that lonely, infamous, November night for an eternity. SSgt. Parkinson graduated company honorman from bootcamp (#1 out of 500), meritoriously promoted twice, recipient of several certificates of commendations and awarded the Navy Achievement Medal with V for decisive actions taken towards the enemy during combat operations in the Anbar Province. Upon leaving the Marines, SSgt. Parkinson used his military benefits to achieve a bachelor’s degree in psychology from the University of Rhode Island 2020.

Massive Rotator Cuff Tears
Author: Lawrence V. Gulotta
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 1489974946
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 171
Book Description
Presenting a logical, comprehensive approach to the patient with a massive rotator cuff tear, this book begins with the pathoanatomy and diagnostic work-up for this common injury, including imaging. Both non-operative and operative treatment options for massive tears follow, including arthroscopy, the use of biologics and patches, tendon transfers, and hemiarthroplasty and reverse total shoulder arthroplasty. A practical treatment algorithm for clinicians treating patients with massive rotator cuff tears is also included. Each chapter opens with pearls and pitfalls covering the main key points for quick reference. The overarching theme of this book is that patients with similar imaging findings may demonstrate very different clinical presentations, and the final treatment recommendation should be made based on their complaints and expectations. As such, it will be an excellent resource for orthopedic surgeons, sports medicine and shoulder physicians, physiatrists, physical medicine and rehab specialists, and occupational therapists.

Trapped

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 319
Book Description
Valerie Tagwira has a gift for capturing the mood of a social or political moment: its concerns, unease, compromises and hopes. So it is with her second novel, Trapped. Trapped explores the lives of three characters: Unesu is a doctor, Cashleen trained as a journalist and Delta qualified as a chemical engineer. Unesu is employed, but his work exposes him to the deficiencies in the system every day as he faces the challenges of life and death. Each of the two young women, good friends, daunted by having their job applications repeatedly rejected, make moral and ethical compromises in order to find work, or at least an income that will pay their bills. These three individuals provide the pivot around which the action unfolds, introducing the reader to people and situations that paint a vital picture of life in Harare at a time of crisis, when survival depends on courage, determination, friendship and humour.

Book Description
Pat Simmons introduces a new Christian fiction series that reminds readers that the bad guys don't always win, especially when the Lord fights our battles. Omega Addams thought it was a typical work day until a detour on the way home changes everything. She's almost killed, but an innocent bystander, Mitchell Franklin, takes a bullet for Omega during a gas station robbery. In the aftermath, Omega has no idea that God expects her to “pray it forward” until a spiritual battle unfolds before her eyes. Another innocent bystander is in trouble; unless Omega gets her prayer life together, others will die without Christ.
