Book Description
When Western education, then called the white man’s school, first came to the town of Dubayabia in the land of Romron at the heels of the abolition of the transatlantic slave trade, horribly frightening stories about that dreadful trade still lingered in the minds of some parents. Those stories made some parents terrified of sending their children to a white man’s school when they reached school-going age, hiding them instead, or sending only strangers. Also troubling for some residents of Dubayabia region in those days, called the Traditionalists, was the advent of foreign religions preaching against, and indiscriminately branding, their African tribal customs and cultural practices, including their safest and most cherished music and dances, as unreligious or, worse, as pagan practice. For one child named Mawudor in particular, his father, Mordibor, an ultraconservative Muslim of the Tukulor tribe, decided to send him and his elder brother Baba to a faraway remote rural village called Futa in a neighboring foreign country to study the Qur’an and acquire aspects of their Tukulor culture, instead of sending them to school. When Mordibor shared his secret plan for his sons with his friend Pa Manika, along with his other concerns about what he perceived as the un-Tukulor customs and practices of his sons’ maternal relatives in Dubayabia, his friend tried unsuccessfully to talk him out of it. Mawudor’s grandparents also tried and failed in their own way to stop Mordibor from sending their beloved grandson away. While Mordibor wanted to send his sons away to acquire Islamic and Tukulor values, instead of Western education, his son Mawudor, on the other hand, liked and dreamed about attending the white man’s school, and he also admired the customs and practices of his maternal relatives. Even fate, it seemed, was not on his father’s side. After just two years in that Koranic school in Futa, Mawudor and his brother Baba had an accident, a fall in which Mawudor broke his leg. When Mawudor was sent home, following the accident, and his father saw his broken leg, he was devastated. Mawudor’s life, it seemed, had been changed. Even the region of Dubayabia’s most famous herbalist, Mawudor’s grandmother, couldn’t fix his broken leg to its original form. Mordibor, realizing how handicapped his son Mawudor had become, changed his original plan and finally decided to send him to a white man’s school together with his younger brothers. It Took a Broken Leg is a family story in which this author chronicles the eventful experiences of the main character, Mawudor, back in time through a maze of raw African tribal beliefs, customs, and practices characterizing his people, practicing Muslims with keen interests and beliefs in secret societies, spiritual devils, and witchcraft.

Book Description
Damien Brown thinks he's ready when he arrives for his first posting with Medecins Sans Frontieres in Africa. But the town he's sent to is an isolated outpost of mud huts, surrounded by landmines; the hospital, for which he's to be the only doctor, is filled with malnourished children and conditions he's never seen; and the health workers - Angolan war veterans twice his age who speak no English - walk out on him following an altercation on his first shift. In the months that follow, Damien confronts these challenges all the while dealing with the social absurdities of living with only three other volunteers for company. The medical calamities pile up - leopard attacks, landmine explosions, performing surgery using tools cleaned on the fire - but as Damien's friendships with the local people evolve, his passion for the work grows. Written with great warmth and empathy, Band-Aid for a Broken Leg is a compassionate, deeply honest and often humorous account of life on the medical frontline in Angola, Mozambique and South Sudan. It is also a moving testimony to the work done by medical humanitarian groups and the remarkable, often eccentric people who work for them.

Book Description
Imagine if we treated broken hearts with the same respect and concern we have for broken arms? Psychologist Guy Winch urges us to rethink the way we deal with emotional pain, offering warm, wise, and witty advice for the broken-hearted. Real heartbreak is unmistakable. We think of nothing else. We feel nothing else. We care about nothing else. Yet while we wouldn’t expect someone to return to daily activities immediately after suffering a broken limb, heartbroken people are expected to function normally in their lives, despite the emotional pain they feel. Now psychologist Guy Winch imagines how different things would be if we paid more attention to this unique emotion—if only we can understand how heartbreak works, we can begin to fix it. Through compelling research and new scientific studies, Winch reveals how and why heartbreak impacts our brain and our behavior in dramatic and unexpected ways, regardless of our age. Emotional pain lowers our ability to reason, to think creatively, to problem solve, and to function at our best. In How to Fix a Broken Heart he focuses on two types of emotional pain—romantic heartbreak and the heartbreak that results from the loss of a cherished pet. These experiences are both accompanied by severe grief responses, yet they are not deemed as important as, for example, a formal divorce or the loss of a close relative. As a result, we are often deprived of the recognition, support, and compassion afforded to those whose heartbreak is considered more significant. Our heart might be broken, but we do not have to break with it. Winch reveals that recovering from heartbreak always starts with a decision, a determination to move on when our mind is fighting to keep us stuck. We can take control of our lives and our minds and put ourselves on the path to healing. Winch offers a toolkit on how to handle and cope with a broken heart and how to, eventually, move on.
