Summary

Walls Remember explores the fascinating stories behind ancient walls, viewing them not just as barriers but as historical documents. The book examines how defensive architecture evolved, adapting to new technologies and societal needs. Walls also served as powerful symbols, marking territory and shaping cultural identity. For example, the Great Wall of China stands as a testament to both military defense and national identity. The book uniquely combines architectural analysis with historical narratives, bringing these structures to life.

 
It begins by introducing fundamental concepts and then develops these ideas through case studies of significant wall systems worldwide, examining their historical context and architectural features. By studying their design, construction, and use, readers gain a deeper understanding of the civilizations that built them.

 
The book culminates in broader conclusions about the role of walls in shaping history, relying on archaeological reports, historical texts, and architectural plans to illustrate the enduring impact of these ancient structures.

    "Pashtana's story highlights the resourcefulness and bravery of young women in Afghanistan. I hope readers will be inspired by her mission to give every girl the education she deserves and the opportunity to pursue her dreams." —Malala Yousafzai 
     
     
     
    In the spirit of Our House is On Fire by Greta Thunberg, the astonishing and deeply inspiring memoir from a young Afghani activist, Amnesty International Global Youth Ambassador, founder of the NGO LEARN, and women's education activist whose advocacy for the disappearing girls of rural Afghanistan has led to her being ruthlessly targeted by the Taliban.

    "Sparkles with humor and grit. A lovingly narrated, sharply nuanced memoir from a talented activist." —Kirkus Reviews STARRED REVIEW 
     
     
     
    Inspired by generations of her family's unwavering belief in the power of education, Pashtana Durrani recognized her calling early in life: to educate Afghanistan's girls and young women, raised in a society where learning is forbidden. In a country devastated by war and violence, where girls are often married off before reaching their teenage years and prohibited from leaving their homes, heeding that call seemed both impossible and dangerous. 
     
      
     
    Pashtana was raised in an Afghan refugee camp in Pakistan where her father, a tribal leader, founded a community school for girls within their home. Fueled by his insistence that despite being a girl, she mattered and deserved an education, Pashtana was sixteen when, against impossible odds, she was granted a path out of the refugee camp: admittance to a preparatory program at Oxford. Unthinkably and to her parents' horror, she chose a different path. She chose Afghanistan. 
     
     
     
    Pashtana founded the nonprofit LEARN and developed a program for getting educational materials directly into the hands of girls in remote areas of the country, training teachers in digital literacy. Her commitment to education has made her a target of the Taliban. Still, she continues to fight for women's education and autonomy in Afghanistan and beyond. 
     
     
     
    Courageous and inspiring, Last to Eat, Last to Learn is the story of how just one person can transform a family, a tribe, a country. It reminds us of the emancipatory power of learning and the transformational potential that lies within each of us. 
     
      
     
    "An inspiring portrait of a change-maker in action." —Publishers Weekly

    Someone's murdered Brayton Spites! 
    Nobody's sorry he's dead--with one exception. A ruthless, unscrupulous businessman, notorious womanizer, and heartless father, he turned his back on his only legitimate son after the boy's grandfather abused him. So when Spites's body is found in a dark alley in Coyote Springs, the question is not who killed him, but what took so long? 
    Jason Crow, rancher, vintner, and double amputee, is invited to help find his biological father's murderer. He has no idea just how personal the quest is about to become. The list of suspects includes his half-brothers, Harden Spites and Kelvin Dodge, as well as Brayton's alcoholic widow, Dolly Dodge. Then there's Neldona Chance, a prostitute with a heart of gold, who shared a complex relationship with Brayton, Harden, and Kelvin. 
    Bodies pile up. Family tensions rise. Tempers reach the breaking point when the sheriff comes to arrest Jason's grieving and emotionally fragile mother for the murder of the profligate man she never stopped loving.

    The Law And The Promise

    The Law and the Promise pairs Neville’s core “Law” (assumption) with the “Promise” (spiritual awakening), illustrating both through numerous real-life case stories. You see how imaginal scenes, inner conviction, and persistence produce tangible outcomes - jobs, health, relationships, and opportunities - without forcing the outer world. The second thread points beyond results to revelation: a deeper unfolding of being. It’s one of Neville’s most popular, example-rich books.
