 Biba, "Hakuna Matata" English | ISBN: 1528901045 | 2019 | 212 pages | EPUB | 3 MB The DNA of a nation is cast at the dawn of its independence from any form of subjugation. This template lives on, replicating frequently but transforming through political mutations. For Kenya, this dates back to 1963, when the country gained independence and the legacy lives on. In this setting, the life journey of Salimo bounces along professional and political adolescence, as well as close relationships with international friends and the people he serves. Collectively, they leave a lasting imprint and shape his future life. Hakuna Matata is the spirit of the nation and its young generation. The people, the nation and the profession, all are at the mercy of the ruling class that is shameless in the orgy of violence, political intrigue and corruption. The story straddles the political lives of the founding president, Jomo Kenyatta, and his often-violent regime through the political turmoil and corrupt regime of President Moi. However, the people and its youth are not cowed but they march on stoically, always expecting a better future of which they are as much a product of but also its architect.

John Moss, "Great British Family Names and Their History: What's in a Name?" English | 2019 | ISBN: 1526722801, 1526751550 | 192 pages | EPUB | 1.1 MB For better or worse, what we are is often determined by our family; the events that occurred many years before we were born and the choices that were made by our forebears are our inheritance - we are the inexorable product of family history. So it is with nations. The history of Great Britain has been largely defined by powerful and influential families, many of whose names have come down to us from Celtic, Danish, Saxon or Norman ancestors. Their family names fill the pages of our history books; they are indelibly written into the events which we learned about at school. Iconic family names like Wellington, Nelson, Shakespeare, Cromwell, Constable, De Montfort and Montgomery... there are innumerable others. They reflect the long chequered history of Britain, and demonstrate the assimilation of the many cultures and languages which have migrated to these islands over the centuries, and which have resulted in the emergence of our language.  Graphic Medicine Manifesto by MK Czerwiec English | May 15, 2020 | ISBN: 0271066490 | 287 pages | PDF | 59 Mb This inaugural volume in the Graphic Medicine series establishes the principles of graphic medicine and begins to map the field. The volume combines scholarly essays by members of the editorial team with previously unpublished visual narratives by Ian Williams and MK Czerwiec, and it includes arresting visual work from a wide range of graphic medicine practitioners. The book's first section, featuring essays by Scott Smith and Susan Squier, argues that as a new area of scholarship, research on graphic medicine has the potential to challenge the conventional boundaries of academic disciplines, raise questions about their foundations, and reinvigorate literary scholarship―and the notion of the literary text―for a broader audience. The second section, incorporating essays by Michael Green and Kimberly Myers, demonstrates that graphic medicine narratives can engage members of the health professions with literary and visual representations and symbolic practices that offer patients, family members, physicians, and other caregivers new ways to experience and work with the complex challenges of the medical experience. The final section, by Ian Williams and MK Czerwiec, focuses on the practice of creating graphic narratives, iconography, drawing as a social practice, and the nature of comics as visual rhetoric. A conclusion (in comics form) testifies to the diverse and growing graphic medicine community. Two valuable bibliographies guide readers to comics and scholarly works relevant to the field.  Joseph Albert Gorski, "Government 2.0" English | ISBN: 1643145886 | 2021 | 136 pages | EPUB | 3 MB This book uses some common sense analysis of both technological advances and people's changing attitudes toward the role of government. The author also looks at the way the banks have controlled the government up to this point. This financial model is shown to be at the breaking point for various reasons. The author gets the reader to see that we are at a tipping point whether we are ready for it or not. Rather than a doom and gloom book this is an optimistic look forward toward a future that will be beyond our wildest imaginations.
