Book Description
The prospect of a weekend at her grandparents’ house seems painfully boring to eleven-year-old River Baker. Boring, that is, until she finds the key to the forbidden room of her Great Auntie Violet. Rebellious River dares to enter the room, closely followed by her goody-two-shoes twin sister, Kit. But while the girls are exploring, they unwittingly open a portal to the secret world of RALA. River and Kit enter RALA at a time of turmoil – a giant called Eleon has stolen a powerful crystal that allows those who possess it to travel between worlds. And when Eleon kidnaps Kit, River must spring into action to save her sister. River seeks help from the Warriors of RALA, who reveal that Great Auntie Violet was a Warrior Princess who had been travelling to RALA before her disappearance fifty-six years ago. With the help of the Warriors, River discovers she has a special power and that she too is a Warrior Princess just like her mysterious auntie. All she has to do is learn to trust and believe in herself and she can face the challenges that lie ahead. Will River be successful in her quest to stop Eleon, save RALA and return home?

Historical Dictionary of the Berbers (Imazighen)
Author: Hsain Ilahiane
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 1442281820
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 489
Book Description
Berbers, also known as Imazighen, are the ancient inhabitants of North Africa, but rarely have they formed an actual kingdom or separate nation state. Ranging anywhere between 15-50 million, depending on how they are classified, the Berbers have influenced the culture and religion of Roman North Africa and played key roles in the spread of Islam and its culture in North Africa, Spain, and Sub-Saharan Africa. Taken together, these dynamics have over time converted to redefine the field of Berber identity and its socio-political representations and symbols, making it an even more important issue in the 21st century. This second edition of Historical Dictionary of the Berbers contains a chronology, an introduction, appendixes, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 200 cross-referenced entries on important personalities, places, events, institutions, and aspects of culture, society, economy, and politics. This book is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about the Berbers.

Hidden Agendas
Author: John Pilger
Publisher: Random House
ISBN: 1407086413
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 713
Book Description
In this powerful book, journalist and film maker John Pilger strips away the layers of deception, dissembling language and omission that prevent us from understanding how the world really works. From the invisible corners of Tony Blair's Britain to Burma, Vietnam, Australia, South Africa and the illusions of the 'media age', power, he argues, has its own agenda. Unchallenged, it operates to protect its interests with a cynical disregard for people - shaping, and often devastating, millions of lives. By unravelling the hidden histories of contemporary events, Pilger allows us to read between the lines. He also celebrates the eloquent defiance and courage of those who resist oppression and give us hope for the future. Tenaciously researched and written with passion and wit, Hidden Agendas will change the way you see the world.
