TRAPPED IN BROAD-DAY LIGHT by Charles O. Uzoaru, M.D. Pdf

‘Trapped in broad daylight’ is the story of a young man who leaves his quiet humble native village in order to fulfill his hidden ambition in a rough, cold and hostile distant metropolis. While in the city, he fulfills his ambition in a manner and to a level that is beyond his intellectual capacity. With inflated ego and a sense of invincibility, he goes back home to the village where he literally places himself above all and sundry. The entire world around him falls to his feet. He displays so much wealth and well-being that all the village youngsters begin to imitate his brand of lifestyle and flock to the city to duplicate his success. Sooner than later, they realize that there had been so much misconception and misinformation about the city and begin to wish they had stayed home in the first place. Meanwhile, the city boy continues to shine in the village in his newly-found stardom. At the height of his popularity, a most beautiful and largely-unknown seductive widow shows up in a puzzling manner to tantalize and trail him. His nocturnal dreams quickly turned into a cyclical platform of strange love affair. Allured by the magical images of the seductive widow he, in turn, began to chase after her. The double chase turns into a fierce battle of will, of determination and strange love affair. The man who ruled the world around him is suddenly held spellbound by the evasive images of a puzzling widow in black. He cannot wait to unravel the mystery surrounding her.

Midnight in Broad Daylight by Pamela Rotner Sakamoto Pdf

Meticulously researched and beautifully written, the true story of a Japanese American family that found itself on opposite sides during World War II—an epic tale of family, separation, divided loyalties, love, reconciliation, loss, and redemption—and a riveting chronicle of U.S.–Japan relations and the Japanese experience in America After their father’s death, Harry, Frank, and Pierce Fukuhara—all born and raised in the Pacific Northwest—moved to Hiroshima, their mother’s ancestral home. Eager to go back to America, Harry returned in the late 1930s. Then came Pearl Harbor. Harry was sent to an internment camp until a call came for Japanese translators and he dutifully volunteered to serve his country. Back in Hiroshima, his brothers Frank and Pierce became soldiers in the Japanese Imperial Army. As the war raged on, Harry, one of the finest bilingual interpreters in the United States Army, island-hopped across the Pacific, moving ever closer to the enemy—and to his younger brothers. But before the Fukuharas would have to face each other in battle, the U.S. detonated the atomic bomb over Hiroshima, gravely injuring tens of thousands of civilians, including members of their family. Alternating between the American and Japanese perspectives, Midnight in Broad Daylight captures the uncertainty and intensity of those charged with the fighting as well as the deteriorating home front of Hiroshima—as never told before in English—and provides a fresh look at the dropping of the first atomic bomb. Intimate and evocative, it is an indelible portrait of a resilient family, a scathing examination of racism and xenophobia, an homage to the tremendous Japanese American contribution to the American war effort, and an invaluable addition to the historical record of this extraordinary time.

In Broad Daylight by Father Patrick Desbois Pdf

How the Murder of More Than Two Million Jews Was Carried Out—In Broad Daylight Based on a decade of work by Father Patrick Desbois and his team at Yahad–In Unum that has culminated to date in interviews with more than 5,700 neighbors to the murdered Jews and visits to more than 2,700 extermination sites, many of them unmarked. One key finding: Genocide does not happen without the neighbors. The neighbors are instrumental to the crime. In his National Jewish Book Award–winning book The Holocaust by Bullets, Father Patrick Desbois documented for the first time the murder of 1.5 million Jews in Ukraine during World War II. Nearly a decade of further work by his team, drawing on interviews with neighbors of the Jews, wartime records, and the application of modern forensic practices to long-hidden grave sites. has resulted in stunning new findings about the extent and nature of the genocide. In Broad Daylight documents mass killings in seven countries formerly part of the Soviet Union that were invaded by Nazi Germany. It shows how these murders followed a template, or script, which included a timetable that was duplicated from place to place. Far from being kept secret, the killings were done in broad daylight, before witnesses. Often, they were treated as public spectacle. The Nazis deliberately involved the local inhabitants in the mechanics of death—whether it was to cook for the killers, to dig or cover the graves, to witness their Jewish neighbors being marched off, or to take part in the slaughter. They availed themselves of local people and the structures of Soviet life in order to make the Eastern Holocaust happen. Narrating in lucid, powerful prose that has the immediacy of a crime report, Father Desbois assembles a chilling account of how, concretely, these events took place in village after village, from the selection of the date to the twenty-four-hour period in which the mass murders unfolded. Today, such groups as ISIS put into practice the Nazis’ lessons on making genocide efficient. The book includes an historical introduction by Andrej Umansky, research fellow at the Institute for Criminal Law and Criminal Procedure, University of Cologne, Germany, and historical and legal advisor to Yahad-In Unum.

In Broad Daylight by Gabriele Pedulla Pdf

From plasma screens to smartphones, today moving images are everywhere. How have films adapted to this new environment? And how has the experience of the spectator changed because of this proliferation? In Broad Daylight investigates one of the decisive shifts in the history of Western aesthetics, exploring the metamorphosis of films in the age of individual media, when the public is increasingly free but also increasingly resistant to the emotive force of the pictures flashing around us. Moving deftly from philosophy of mind to film theory, from architectural practice to ethics, from Leon Battista Alberti to Orson Welles, Gabriele Pedullà examines the revolution that is reshaping the entire system of the arts and creativity in all its manifestations.

Summary of Harry N. MacLean's In Broad Daylight by Everest Media, Pdf

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 On July 10, 1981, Cheryl Brown, who lived on a farm a few miles west of Skidmore, watched as the town was pushed too far. Cheryl had been working at the B B Grocery for about 15 months when violence erupted again. If McElroy intended to carry out his threats, he would either hit her father at home or come in the back of the store like he did last summer. #2 When McElroy was in town, his wife, Trena, would usually stay out in the truck with him. Cheryl would always spot the other McElroy trucks and their owners, and would speak their names as if they were on an honor roll. #3 As the shooting continued, Cheryl rushed to the telephone in the front of the store to call her baby sitter, who lived in town. More shots were fired as she explained to the baby sitter that it wasn't safe to bring the children to the store. #4 On the day of his death, Ken had been involved with Alice for more than 20 years. They had lived together for 16 years, and had three children. Alice was no longer in love with Ken, but still cared for and respected him.

Can't Stop Walking by Murphy V. S. Anderson Pdf

Can’t Stop Walking: Every Walk Must First Begin with a Step, Purpose, and Direction is a stunning and incisive nonfictional narrative which critiques some of the cultural, traditional, and societal issues which impacted and challenged the lives of many Liberians, especially the youth who suffered, bled, and died in their ignorance during the Liberian Civil War. This is a book uniquely written to bring the readers mentally closer to some information and experiences that may seem unrealistic but true, inconceivable or trivia but factual. The book reveals the tireless and unwavering efforts made by two friends bound together in one faith and purpose with a desire to change the mindset of youths who were actively involved in a civil war. It discusses how these two friends nonviolently challenged the culture, tradition, and societal elites of a small town by engaging the youth and elders through the “Trinity Plan” and helped transform a struggling church threatened by dogmas and traditional practices.

Like a Thief in Broad Daylight by Slavoj Zizek Pdf

The latest book from "the most despicable philosopher in the West" (New Republic) considers the new dangers and radical possibilities set in motion by advances in Big Tech. In recent years, techno-scientific progress has started to utterly transform our world--changing it almost beyond recognition. In this extraordinary new book, renowned philosopher Slavoj Žižek turns to look at the brave new world of Big Tech, revealing how, with each new wave of innovation, we find ourselves moving closer and closer to a bizarrely literal realization of Marx's prediction that "all that is solid melts into air." With the automation of work, the virtualization of money, the dissipation of class communities, and the rise of immaterial, intellectual labor, the global capitalist edifice is beginning to crumble, more quickly than ever before--and it is now on the verge of vanishing entirely. But what will come next? Against a backdrop of constant socio-technological upheaval, how could any kind of authentic change take place? In such a context, Žižek argues, there can be no great social triumph--because lasting revolution has already come into the scene, like a thief in broad daylight, stealing into sight right before our very eyes. What we must do now is wake up and see it. Urgent as ever, Like a Thief in Broad Daylight illuminates the new dangers as well as the radical possibilities thrown up by today's technological and scientific advances, and their electrifying implications for us all.
