But Whose Fault? - The AK-47 Found

AMOS ASEMONE

Do you keep an eye on world events through mainstream media? If so, chances are you have missed out on many essential news stories from countries around the world.
While many news outlets will cover European, U.K., and U.S. news in great detail, they often leave out essential news from other continents, especially Africa.
And yet, that doesn’t mean that newsworthy events occur there every day, just like in the UK.
In fact, some of the most newsworthy stories have occurred in Africa in recent years.
If you want to learn more about the conflicts of African communities, you have come to the right place.
Introducing, But, Whose Fault? Part One, a true story based in Ghana, where two AK-47s mysteriously vanished before reappearing without ammunition.
Not only does this book shed light on an incident that is still to be answered to this day, but it also highlights one of the many conflicts that African communities go through and are never displayed on the big screen.
In many ways, the conflict surrounding the missing rifles is a point of convergence of the exploitation of Africa and the negligence shown toward the local people and their value to the world.
It is one of the main reasons it continues to go unnoticed in many countries, yet it is a story that must be told.
Inside, But, Whose Fault? Part One, discover:
● essential background information about the local people and community
● the political context behind the events that unfolded
● the initial factors that influenced the confrontation
● the company behind the Nguvu mining project
● the disappearance, search, and fallout from the missing rifles
If you are at all interested in the rich history and real-life stories of Africa, this book is a must-read.

Biomimetics - How Lessons from...

Brian Clegg

An exploration of the transformative ways in which nature has inspired the technological advancement of humankind.

Biomimetics literally means emulating biology - and in a broader sense the term covers technological advances where the original inspiration came from nature. The Earth is a vast laboratory where the mechanisms of natural selection have enabled evolutionary solutions to be developed to a wide range of problems.

In this new title in the Hot Science series, science writer Brian Clegg looks at how humans have piggybacked on natural experimentation, redeploying a solution to create things that make our lives easier. He looks at how the hooks on burdock seeds inspired the creation of Velcro, how the stickiness of the feet of geckos and frogs has been used to create gripping surfaces, such as tyre treads, and how even the most basic optical enhancement in the form of spectacles is itself a form of biomimetics.
