Africa as a continent, which holds strong to its patriarchal cultural principles and practices, is known for its blatant display of violent abuse of women, including state-sanctioned violence, and its lax approach to national legislative policies and international treaties against violence against women. Using data from Africa, the Americas, Australia, and Europe, this edited collection showcases a variety of experiences and perspectives in the international comparative study of violence against women of African ancestry. This approach provides the context for examining the problem of violence against women, including its policy and practice responses (if any), as it impacts women of African origin in different parts of the world. This book is of value to those interested in African studies, criminology, gender studies, sociology, and many more.

Although it is generally believed that the human race appeared around 30,000 to 50,000 years ago, or around 100,000 years ago at most, it actually has a far longer history. Can you believe that various beings had come to live on Earth from other star systems and galaxies, including Vega, Pleiades, and the Magellanic Clouds? Can you believe that the human race had already experienced a space war?

Free Download Holocaust Holiday: One Family’s Descent into Genocide Memory by Rabbi Shmuley Boteach, Jonathan Todd Ross, Recorded Books
2021 | English | ISBN: B08TX5MXQ9 | Format: M4B / Bitrate: 32 Kbps / 15 hours and 4 minutes | 212 Mb
In this alternately humorous and horrifying memoir, a Jewish father shleps his reluctant children around Europe on a hard-charging tour of Holocaust sites and memorials in order to impress on them the profound evil of Hitler’s war against the Jews and the importance of combatting genocide.
In 2017, renowned author and rabbi Shmuley Boteach decided to take his family on a European holiday. But instead of seeing the sights of Rome or Paris, he took his reluctant – and at times complaining – children on a harrowing journey though Auschwitz, Treblinka, Warsaw, and many other sites associated with Hitler’s genocidal war against the Jews. His purpose was to impress upon them the full horror of the Holocaust so they would know and remember it deep in their bones. In the process, he and his children learn a great deal about the scope and nature of the European genocide. The resulting memoir is an utterly unique blend of travelogue, memoir, and history – alternately fascinating, terrifying, frustrating, humorous, and tragic.

AI is changing the world at frightening speed. A bestselling author decides to find out more. Is ChatGPT the end of creative industries as we know them? An ethical quagmire from which there is no return? A threat to all our jobs, as we keep hearing on the news? Bestselling author Andy Stanton has made a career out of writing differently-from the unconventional ‘hero’ of his bestselling Mr Gum series to his penchant for absurdist Descriptions, his children’s books are anything but formulaic. When a friend introduces him to ChatGPT, the new large language chatbot, Andy is as sceptical as he is curious. Can this jumble of algorithms really mimic the spontaneity of human thought? Could it one day replace human authors like him for good? And are we soon to be ruled over by despotic robot overlords.

The story of an all-female caving expedition gone horribly wrong, The Descent (2005) is arguably the best of the mid-2000s horror entries to return verve and intensity to the genre. Unlike its peers (Saw [2004], Hostel [2011], etc.), The Descent was both commercially and critically popular, providing a genuine version of what other films could only produce as pastiche. For Mark Kermode, writing in the Observer, it was "one of the best British horror films of recent years," and Derek Elley in Variety described it as "an object lesson in making a tightly-budgeted, no-star horror pic." Time Out’s critic praised "this fiercely entertaining British horror movie;" while Rolling Stone’s Peter Travers warned prospective viewers to "prepare to be scared senseless." Emphasizing female characters and camaraderie, The Descent is an ideal springboard for discussing underexplored horror themes: the genre’s engagement with the lure of the archaic; the idea of birth as the foundational human
