Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - John James Brett and Mary Walsh found the prospect of beginning their married lives together in 1880's Ireland daunting. A future of almost certain poverty, or at the very least, extreme difficulty and depravation, would be facing them, and the potential for improvement of social and political conditions seemed remote. To raise children under existing circumstances would be fraught with challenge and danger. While not as high as during The Great Famine, or the lesser famine of 1879 and 1880, infant and child mortality rates were still extremely high, with severe food shortages, poor sanitation and hygiene, and of course poverty, being the primary contributing factors. And, should they be blessed and fortunate enough to be able to successfully raise their children to adulthood, the prospects for their future to be bright and prosperous would be negligible. Rather than accept the inherited circumstances, John embraced the concept of emigrating to the 'promised land' of America. While cautious and reluctant at first, Mary soon captured the vision and became a strong supporter and advocate, regardless of the danger and profound uncertainty involved. 'By Pluck and by Faith' is the saga of John and Mary Brett, their children, and the generations that proceeded. As the seven children grow and mature, we trace their lives, and ultimately the lives of their children's children. These chronicles examine three generations of tragedies and triumphs, occasions of resounding success and of abject failure; hedonistic excess, sinfulness and even lawlessness, in juxtaposition to piety, discipline, virtue and prudence. The book will also hypothesize, projecting the impact that the nebulous and ill-defined concept of 'fate' will have had on each of their lives.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The Shocking Legacy of Cultural Segregation. Isiani Town has a unique and important ambition: they want an indigenous Catholic priest. A very special young man, Okwuchi, has been chosen for this honor. Although he has some doubts, he is willing to go to seminary, even though his heart yearns for the beautiful and intelligent Chioma. But she is doubly forbidden. Not only must he remain celibate as a priest, he must avoid her because she is an outcast, a member of the feared and hated Osu community, while Okwuchi is freeborn. The town's determination to keep them apart intertwines with a shocking series of events that will bring to light the horror of caste prejudice and the folly of hatred between communities. Rich with detail and beautifully characterized, Cloud of Fate brings to vivid life the culture clashes of sub-Saharan Nigeria in a compelling story that will keep you spellbound.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - War on fossil fuels and carbon is inconsequential to climate change. Although this book is factual and based on unbiased, peer reviewed science, the data is presented so that anyone can understand the forces behind climate change. For years, carbon produced by burning fossil fuels has been blamed for disrupting natural processes and thus, efforts are in place to restrict its use. It doesn't seem to matter that carbon is the least expensive fuel to generate electricity so fundamental to the standard of living in developed countries or that undeveloped countries need and desire its use. After reading this book that contains easily understood colored graphs, you will be amazed that global climate has been cyclic for over 500 million years and that the current warming trend started roughly 18,000 years ago by natural processes. Dr. Silver is a geoscientist whose career includes industry as well as being a faculty member at two large state universities. His research is focused on milieu of sedimentary rocks that range in age from 450 million years to the present-day coral reefs in Belize, C.A. Burr and his wife live primarily in Granbury, Texas.…
