Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throne of Glass meets Black Jewels in this twisted yet alluring dark fantasy tale. Quinn Darkova, freed from the chains of slavery, wants nothing more than vengeance against those who sold her. But with her dark powers on the rise and her ascension nearing, Quinn's blood retribution will have to wait in favor of her immediate survival. Lazarus Fierté is a nobleman without equal. He's as controlling as he is stubborn, and for the last six years he's been waiting for a woman to appear-but not just any woman. A Maji of great power, capable of terrible things. She could be the key to everything he holds dear. His savior ... or his destroyer. The only thing he didn't predict was that she would become both.

Book excerpt: Some historians have traced a line from Germany’s atrocities in its colonial wars to those committed by the Nazis during WWII.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This delightful story features two pups, Maji (which rhymes with magpie) and Mongo (which rhymes with bongo). Maji and Mongo were dogs of the same breed, but they were very different, very different indeed. One a sad couch potato, the other a happy playful tornado! When they met Mongo never ventured outside, but that all ended when Maji knocked on his door. Feats of strength and bouts of bravery draw these adorable pups together into a friendship that changes Mongo’s life forever and gives Maji a new best friend. The series will introduce children to lifestyle issues such as the importance of physical activity and the deliciousness of wholesome “clean” foods. It also teaches children the value of diversity and the need for living green. The messages in each book, though serious and potentially life changing, will be presented in a way that is sure to engage every child. Each book will also include an addendum, covering tips for parents that will help them reinforce the concepts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book presents the history, tradition and culture of a small tribe know as the Pimbwe in Tanzania. It describes the life of the Pimbwe from the pre-colonial era, through the arrival of missionaries, colonisation and post independence, right up to the present day. By reading this book, you will discover the origins of the Pimbwe, their traditions and their culture, which although not differing greatly from those of other African tribes, constitute an intriguing and unique story. In 2008 a group of researchers help a workshop in Mpanda to compile a collection of information and various narrative from Pimbwe elders who maintain and highly honour the Pimbwe communities culture and norms. The researchers subsequently used archival and other published historical materials to ingrate Pimbwe narrative into know historical events. It should be remembered that this book was written with the aim of preserving in written form a history which has been passed down through generations and held in the memories of the elders. It is also hoped that this book will help new generations, particularly of the Pimbwe community, to understand and honour their culture and traditions in a world in which globalisation continuously erodes cultural diversity.
