A land of unparalleled richness. For centuries, the peninsula has attracted fortune hunters, money-grabbing pirates and migrants seeking a better life. Among those whose lives are rooted in the Malayan soil are three families: the Wongs, sons of the Chinese earth; the Wees, subjects of the English gods; and the Mahmuds, scions of the Malayan soil; each with different dreams for the bit of earth they live on. Their destinies meet and this clash of hopes inevitably leads to tragedy.“A Bit of Earth chronicles the visceral and cultural struggle of a young Chinese immigrant to survive in an equally struggling Malayan nation… The immigrant earns his bit of earth only by continuously re-inventing himself and by negotiation with the forces of history.” — Lily Rose Tope, Professor, Department of English Comparative Literature, University of the Philippines

It involves the hearts of all of us seeking the lights of earth, the soul s blessing in its long, dark night. Forsaken by her lover as he gains fame as a novelist, Ilona is stirred by the need to remember the brother she left behind long ago. Revealing the precious worth of life that emerges from the depths of loss, The Lights of Earth is a deeply moving exploration of the soul and a masterwork of style and psychological acuity from one of the most celebrated voices in contemporary fiction.

The Aquarian: Gospel Of Jesus The Christ is a spiritual and philosophical work that blends elements of the traditional gospel with metaphysical concepts related to the transition between the Piscean and Aquarian Ages. The text delves into the life and teachings of Jesus, with a particular focus on his early years, offering an alternative perspective on his journey and the events leading up to his spiritual awakening. It begins with the birth of Mary, Jesus mother, and proceeds to explore the conditions surrounding the birth of Jesus himself. The narrative intertwines celestial signs, divine intervention, and prophetic messages that indicate the importance of these events in the context of humanity s spiritual evolution. Key figures such as Zacharias, Elizabeth, and the angel Gabriel make appearances, each playing a crucial role in announcing the births of John the Harbinger and Jesus. The opening chapters set the stage for a new spiritual era, emphasizing themes of divine purpose, spiritual awakening, and the dawn of a new age. The work suggests that the shift to the Aquarian Age heralds a time of profound transformation, one that calls humanity toward a deeper understanding of its spiritual potential and connection to the divine.

Why does racial inequality in America persist? In this important textbook, Michelle Holder and Jeannette Wicks-Lim answer this question by introducing readers to the innovative field of stratification economics. Stratification economics offers an antidote to conventional economics⠙ hyper-focus on individuals and disregard for how politics shapes the economy. It spotlights how groups ⠓ such as racial groups ⠓ compete to gain favorable positions in society through political and economic domination. The book fuses stratification economics with intersectional theory to illuminate how gender and ethnicity intertwine with racial oppression. Holder and Wicks-Lim argue that anti-Black racism developed and persists because it protects the interests of a politically dominant social group: White Americans. This argument is demonstrated across multiple arenas: education, employment, wealth, and the criminal legal system. Policy intervention ⠓ through government action spurred by social movements ⠓ is necessary for achieving racial equity.

After a decade grafting through theatre jobs and children s TV shows, she was finally living the dream. However her life soon turned into a nightmare off-screen and behind the headlines as her heart was broken in a very public relationship, whilst her every move was printed in the tabloids thanks to her phone being tapped.

Traditional mortars are eminently workable, effectively porous, economic in use and appropriately durable. Used in buildings for thousands of years, these materials are ideal for repair and conservation work. Unlike cement or modern hydraulic lime, their routine use would make a significant contribution in the struggle against climate change. However, despite the 1975 lime revival there remains a deficit in research into the most-used traditional mortars. This book seeks to redress the balance. Drawing upon historic literature, material science and industry case studies, topics covered include: a historical overview of traditional mortars; slaking and mixing hot mixed lime mortars; the essentials of pozzolans, aggregates and lime tempering; plasters, lime washes and sheltercoats, and finally, the revival of interest in the use of like-for-like and compatible mortars.
