Book Description
This particular morning following public outcry a police raid was carried out and strange discoveries were made. The strangest was a man who walked on his hands and knees like animals. The television showed a long bearded man with overgrown grey tousled hair, bulging eyes like the protruding eyes of bush baby, dry peeling skin and a vulgar voice. The onlookers caught by television cameras showed gloomy faces with some of them having their hands over their heads, some with mouth agape in astonishment and some other faces covered in tears. That was not the strangest but human flesh and bones were found in this strange man’s abode - the abandoned maintenance house. He was not a ritualist but was described as a cannibal. He ate any flesh, fresh or rotten. Much more than a cannibal. They never took time earlier to decode his language. The police could pick things he said like: “I built this place. I am not a criminal. You have taken all from me but you cannot take this place or take me from this place...” The baffling truth was that he was speaking fluent and articulated queen's English. "They said I would climb mountains and hills, cross rivers and valleys and eat like animals," the strange man echoed. The story of Nebuchadnezzar came to mind, hearing his story. "I served them good and they served me bad. My family abandoned me because of them. I studied in Cambridge that is why I cannot leave this bridge. ‘London bridge is falling down, falling down...’" he reverberated in-between speeches as if imitating or singing our childhood song or poem. But more ominous was that top government white papers, official reports setting out government policy on issues to be voted on by the country's legislature and other secret documents were found in his custody... Stolen Tomorrow (Political Scavengers Series Book Two) is about a love story, a family puzzle, is about Cafia Autonomous Community and the oppressive government and a call for the young people to fight for their rights and position in the scheme of things to preserve their future. A speculative fiction and dystopian state, a totalitarian government's abuse of power, a police state that must be rescued from the stale politicians and the junta regime.Aaron Bo suffered a lot of persecutions for standing for the truth and fighting for the Masses.

"It's the year 93 O.O., and Dara Adeleye is a student with a bright future and her life figured out. That is, until a chance encounter with a mysterious child changes everything. Dara lives in a world shaped by the Miracle of Elegua, an intervention by the gods in the fate of an Earth on the brink of collapse decades before she was born. Exceptionally gifted as an artist, her day-to-day attentions are on excelling in school in order to rise above her lower-class upbringing and raise her friends and family out of the dreaded red vanes.

Kristano Arvelo is a trazer--the term used for the graffiti writers of Dara's time, a once-slang that originated in her home town of Todirb Wall. The aimless leader of a local group of trazers, he may hold a key to unlocking Dara's hidden gifts. But it will come at the cost of the destiny she believed was hers."--Publisher's description.

Death
Author: Shelly Kagan
Publisher: Yale University Press
ISBN: 0300183429
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 378
Book Description
There is one thing we can be sure of: we are all going to die. But once we accept that fact, the questions begin. In this thought-provoking book, philosophy professor Shelly Kagan examines the myriad questions that arise when we confront the meaning of mortality. Do we have reason to believe in the existence of immortal souls? Should we accept an account according to which people are just material objects, nothing more? Can we make sense of the idea of surviving the death of one's body? If I won't exist after I die, can death truly be bad for me? Would immortality be desirable? Is fear of death appropriate? Is suicide ever justified? How should I live in the face of death? Written in an informal and conversational style, this stimulating and provocative book challenges many widely held views about death, as it invites the reader to take a fresh look at one of the central features of the human condition—the fact that we will die.

Tomorrow's Criminals
Author: N. Wim Slot
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317009975
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 390
Book Description
It has been acknowledged for some years that the early onset of delinquency can predict a long and serious criminal career. Most resources are targeted at the teenage years but this book argues convincingly that more research and interventions should be aimed at child delinquents aged 12 and under. Tomorrow's Criminals addresses key problems in criminological research and makes studies from the Netherlands more accessible to a wider audience. It provides information and analyses on risk factors and reviews screening tools and risk-focused prevention methods. The contributions increase visibility and accessibility of European policy and practice in the explanation and prevention of child delinquency.
