Sinopsis

In "The Day of the Beast," Zane Grey crafts a gripping narrative that intertwines adventure, romance, and a profound exploration of the human spirit set against the backdrop of the American West. This unabridged edition showcases Grey's signature lyrical prose and vivid imagery, transporting readers to the rugged terrains where courage and moral dilemmas are tested. The plot follows the intense journey of its protagonist, who grapples with the clash between personal desires and societal expectations, ultimately painting a multi-dimensional portrait of frontier life during the early twentieth century'Äîa time marked by both lawlessness and the quest for Western ideals. Zane Grey, an influential American author, drew from his own experiences as a passionate outdoorsman and an avid fisherman, which informed the rich and romantic portrayals of nature prevalent in his works. His lifelong admiration for the American landscape, combined with his fascination with themes of redemption and struggle, propelled him to write this novel. Grey'Äôs earlier confrontations with themes of masculinity, bravery, and the beauty of the natural world serve as a foundation for the compelling narrative in "The Day of the Beast." This novel is highly recommended for readers who appreciate classic Western literature infused with emotional depth and philosophical inquiry. Those intrigued by adventurous plots set in evocative environments will find themselves captivated by Grey's ability to merge thrilling escapades with profound insights into the human condition. A must-read for fans of the genre, it promises to be an unforgettable literary experience.

    Why did independent Singapore celebrate two hundred years of its founding as a British colony in 2019? What does Merdeka mean for Singaporeans? And what are the possibilities of doing decolonial history in Singapore? Raffles Renounced: Towards a Merdeka History presents essays by historians, literary scholars and artists which grapple with these questions. The volume also reproduces some of the source material used in the play Merdeka / 獨立 / சுதந்திரம் (Wild Rice, 2019). Taken together, the book shows how the contradictions of independent nationhood haunt Singaporeans' collective and personal stories about Merdeka. It points to the need for a Merdeka history: an open and fearless culture of historical reckoning that not only untangles us from colonial narratives, but proposes emancipatory possibilities.

    In a moment where unlawful pipelines are built on Indigenous territories, the RCMP make illegal arrests of land defenders on unceded lands, and anti-Indigenous racism permeates on social media; the government lie that is reconciliation is exposed. Renowned lawyer, author, speaker and activist, Pamela Palmater returns to wade through media headlines and government propaganda and get to heart of key issues lost in the noise.
    		 
    Warrior Life: Indigenous Resistance and Resurgence is the second collection of writings by Palmater. In keeping with her previous works, numerous op-eds, media commentaries, YouTube channel videos and podcasts, Palmater’s work is fiercely anti-colonial, anti-racist, and more crucial than ever before.
    		 
    Palmater addresses a range of Indigenous issues — empty political promises, ongoing racism, sexualized genocide, government lawlessness, and the lie that is reconciliation — and makes the complex political and legal implications accessible to the public.
    		 
    From one of the most important, inspiring and fearless voices in Indigenous rights, decolonization, Canadian politics, social justice, earth justice and beyond, Warrior Life is an unflinching critique of the colonial project that is Canada and a rallying cry for Indigenous peoples and allies alike to forge a path toward a decolonial future through resistance and resurgence.

    “If you know others and you know yourself, even in one hundred battles you will not find yourself at risk; if you do not know others, but you know yourself, you will win some battles and lose others; if you do not know others and you do not know yourself, you are at risk in every battle.” 
    The Art of War is considered the oldest recorded treatise on military strategy. Written around the year 500 BC, this book uncovers the secrets of logic and armament, outlines the systems of authority, explains the keys to communication and discipline, differentiates the levels of military rank, and above all establishes absolutely innovative guidelines for strategy that are still used today. 
    Its teachings go beyond the literal concept of “war.” For Sun Tzu, the successful person achieves his goals without devastating or humiliating others. The triumphant person prepares a tactic to achieve his goals, takes advantage of his opportunities, accepts his weaknesses, and recognizes his strengths. Those ideas led to the practice of applying the philosophy of The Art of War to questions of business and personal betterment. 
    The words of Sun Tzu are read today as a manual for behaviors that help one defeat obstacles in various parts of life in order to achieve victory and exercise dominion over all who keep him from the path to success.
