Not Yet Sunset by Acan, Grace Pdf

When the boys in her class asked her to sit on the ground in the classroom because they felt girls were dull and so only fit for the dusty floor while they sat on chairs, Grace refused to do so, and vowed to struggle for gender equality. As she excelled in school, the war in neighbouring northern Uganda districts was something Grace only heard about, but did not witness. In the early morning of 10 October 1996, this ended. The Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) rebel group broke into her school dormitory at St. Mary’s College, Aboke in Apac district, and abducted 139 schoolgirls. Grace was marched to South Sudan where she endured close to nine years of forced labour, hardship and violence at the hands of the rebels. This book is a story of her childhood, abduction and life inside the LRA. Grace never gave up hope of returning to Uganda to realise her dream. She escaped the LRA to resume her education, providing exceptional leadership to thousands of students in high school and university. Not Yet Sunset is a story of survival, resilience, determination and inspiration. Today, Grace is an advocate for the rights of women, children, and conflict-affected communities in Uganda. She has a degree from Gulu University in Development Studies and is currently pursuing a post-graduate diploma in Project Planning and Management.

West of Sunset by Stewart O'Nan Pdf

A “rich, sometimes heartbreaking” (Dennis Lehane) novel of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s last years in Hollywood, from the acclaimed author of Emily, Alone and Henry, Himself In 1937, F. Scott Fitzgerald was a troubled, uncertain man whose literary success was long over. In poor health, with his wife consigned to a mental asylum and his finances in ruins, he struggled to make a new start as a screenwriter in Hollywood. By December 1940, he would be dead of a heart attack. Those last three years of Fitzgerald’s life, often obscured by the legend of his earlier Jazz Age glamour, are the focus of Stewart O’Nan’s gorgeously and gracefully written novel. With flashbacks to key moments from Fitzgerald’s past, the story follows him as he arrives on the MGM lot, falls in love with brassy gossip columnist Sheilah Graham, begins work on The Last Tycoon, and tries to maintain a semblance of family life with the absent Zelda and daughter, Scottie. Fitzgerald’s orbit of literary fame and the Golden Age of Hollywood is brought vividly to life through the novel’s romantic cast of characters, from Dorothy Parker and Ernest Hemingway to Humphrey Bogart. A sympathetic and deeply personal portrait of a flawed man who never gave up in the end, even as his every wish and hope seemed thwarted, West of Sunset confirms O’Nan as “possibly our best working novelist” (Salon).

It's a Sunrise, Not a Sunset by Ann S. Eagle Pdf

Have you ever wondered why we focus so much on sunsets and not sunrises? Maybe because it's easier to watch a sunset as it happens in a more convenient time of the day. Maybe it's just become a habit to photograph and paint sunsets instead of sunrises. The same can be true in our own lives. We can form habits of focusing on the sunsets in our lives, and when we do, we can miss the sunrises in them. The sun setting represents the end of the day while the sun rising represents the beginning of the day. In the same way, sunsets in our personal lives can symbolize the end of something or the loss of something, while sunrises can symbolize the start of something or the gain of something. When we think the sun is setting on our circumstances, maybe the sun is really rising. God is always turning our circumstances together for good. Is it time for you to proclaim, "It's a sunrise, not a sunset"?

Time, Law, and Change by Sofia Ranchordás,Yaniv Roznai Pdf

Offering a unique perspective on an overlooked subject – the relationship between time, change, and lawmaking – this edited collection brings together world-leading experts to consider how time considerations and social, political and technological change affect the legislative process, the interpretation of laws, the definition of the powers of the government and the ability of legal orders to promote innovation. Divided into four parts, each part considers a different form of interaction between time and law, and change. The first part offers legal, theoretical and historical perspectives on the relationship between time and law, and how time shaped law and influences legal interpretation and constitutional change. The second part offers the reader an analysis of the different ways in which courts approach the impact of time on law, as well as theoretical and empirical reflections upon the meaning of the principle of legal certainty, legitimate expectations and the influence of law over time. The third part of the book analyses how legislation and the legislative process addresses time and change, and the various challenges they create to the legal order. The fourth and final part addresses the complex relationship between fast-paced technological change and the regulation of innovations.

Sunset by Douglas Reeman Pdf

1941 To the residents and defence forces of the Crown Colony of Hong Kong, the war in Europe remains remote. Even the massive build-up of Japanese forces on the Chinese border cannot dent their carefree optimism. Yet one man suspects the truth. Lieutenant-Commander Esmond Brooke, captain of HMS Serpent and a veteran of the cruel Atlantic, sees all too clearly the folly and incompetence of Hong Kong's colonial administration. To Brooke, attack by Japan seems inevitable. However, in war there will always be some who attempt the impossible, even in the face of death. This is the story of one ship and her company who refuse to accept the anguish of defeat and surrender to a merciless enemy... ______________________________ A thrilling tale of naval warfare from Douglas Reeman, the all-time bestselling master of naval fiction, who served with the Royal Navy on convoy duty in the Atlantic, the Arctic and the North Sea. He has written dozens of naval books under his own name and the pseudonym Alexander Kent, including the famous Richard Bolitho books set during the Napoleonic Wars.

Sword at Sunset by Rosemary Sutcliff,Jack Whyte Pdf

This brilliant reconception of the Arthurian epic cuts through the familiar myths and tells the story of the real King Arthur: Artos the Bear, the mighty warrior-king who saved the last lights of Western civilization when the barbarian darkness descended in the fifth century. Artos here comes alive: bold and forceful in battle, warm and generous in friendship, tough in politics, shrewd in the strategy of war—and tender and tragically tormented in love. Out of the interweaving of ancient legend, fresh research, soaring imagination, and hypnotic narrative skill comes a novel that has richly earned its reputation as a classic.
