We are not alone. Temporal Scientists have discovered that we are not the only timeline in the universe. There are ninety-nine other timelines, and our hero, Tempus Waterman, can travel between them all using what is called a Temporal Bridge. The book explains this further. This is the first instalment in the life of Tempus. He is known for being a caring person, likes walks on the beach he’s also a Leo, sorry, sorry, I went off on a tangent there. I am the Narrator, and I will be telling you the story of Tempus, well, as much as I can remember anyway. We start in a sunny park on a non-descript day in 1955 in timeline 64, or at least that’s where we’re told he is. The sun is out, the birds are chirping, the grass is growing… now there, that’s just going too far… Tempus is about to embark on his adventures. These adventures are going to take him to the far reaches of the of the travelable (yes that is a word) universe. Tempus meets friends and foes and also meets his love interest…well, would this be a proper sci-fi adventure without a love interest? Meanwhile, the Timestealers (the bad guys…obviously) are plotting (again with the plotting) to put into place their own plans and people as they try to wrestle control of the timelines from the Timemasters for their own ends. They will set off some devices of doom and even make a stand attacking a famous installation, all before the first half of the book is done! If you think all that is cool then everything else will seem awesome in comparison! So, grab the book, and immerse yourself in this universe and go back to the way stories used to be told. Told with imagination, a thirst for making a story fun, interesting and it also pulls you in, all the while making it enjoyable. So, this is your Narrator, letting you decide if you want to take the plunge into an adventure full of excitement, adventure (you already said that!) and suspense………..Oops, too much suspense! So, I will now bid you farewell, and happy reading!

Despite being one of the newer Oxford colleges, Keble is nevertheless rooted in one of the most dynamic periods of the University. The rise of the Oxford Movement in the mid-19th century coincided with the peak of High Victorian confidence, in which social and political issues were vigorously addressed by outstanding individuals.Keble - Past and Present is intended as a portrait of the College and its life that will speak to Keble men and women. Much more than a history, it is a richly illustrated documentary that tells Keble alumni a great deal that they don't know, as well as reminding them of their own experiences as undergraduates.Through this volume, older members will rediscover familiar ground, with a few surprises, while contemporary members will discover a spirit and tradition still very much alive today.

Over the past decades, infectious disease epidemics have come to increasingly pose major global health challenges to humanity. The Anthropology of Epidemics approaches epidemics as total social phenomena: processes and events which encompass and exercise a transformational impact on social life whilst at the same time functioning as catalysts of shifts and ruptures as regards human/non-human relations. Bearing a particular mark on subject areas and questions which have recently come to shape developments in anthropological thinking, the volume brings epidemics to the forefront of anthropological debate, as an exemplary arena for social scientific study and analysis.

Ever since Freud, psychoanalysts have explored the connections between psychoanalysis and literature and psychoanalysis and philosophy, while literary criticism, social science and philosophy have all reflected on and made use of ideas from psychoanalytic theory. The Academic Face of Psychoanalysis presents contributions from these fields and gives the reader an insight into different understandings and applications of psychoanalytic theory. This book comprises twelve contributions from experts in their fields covering philosophy, psychoanalysis, sociology and literary theory. The chapters are divided into three distinct sections: Psychoanalysis Philosophy Social science and literary theory Louise Braddock and Michael Lacewing successfully bring these contributions together with an in-depth introduction that allows the reader to explore the connections between the different disciplines. The multi-disciplinary approach to this book is rare; it will appeal to academics and students, from the subject areas of psychoanalysis, humanities and social science.

A gripping narrative about the origins and spread of the Zika virus by New York Times science reporter Donald G. McNeil Jr. Until recently, Zika—once considered a mild disease—was hardly a cause for global panic. But as early as August 2015, doctors in northeast Brazil began to notice a trend: many mothers who had recently experienced symptoms of the Zika virus were giving birth to babies with microcephaly, a serious disorder characterized by unusually small heads and brain damage. By early 2016, Zika was making headlines as evidence mounted—and eventually confirmed—that microcephaly is caused by the virus, which can be contracted through mosquito bites or sexually transmitted. The first death on American soil, in February 2016, was confirmed in Puerto Rico in April. The first case of microcephaly in Puerto Rico was confirmed on May 13, 2016. The virus has been known to be transmitted by the Aedes aegypti or Yellow Fever mosquito, but now Aedes albopictus, the Asian Tiger mosquito, has been found to carry it as well, which means it might affect regions as far north as New England and the Great Lakes. Right now, at least 298 million people in the Americas live in areas “conducive to Zika transmission,” according to a recent study. Over the next year, more than 5 million babies will be born. In Zika: The Emerging Epidemic, Donald G. McNeil Jr. sets the facts straight in a fascinating exploration of Zika’s origins, how it’s spreading, the race for a cure, and what we can do to protect ourselves now.

As it enters its sixtieth year of independence, India stands on the threshold of superpower status. Yet India is strikingly different from all other global colossi. While it is the world's most populous democracy and enjoys the benefits of its internationally competitive high-tech and software industries, India also contends with extremes of poverty, inequality, and political and religious violence. This accessible and vividly written book presents a new interpretation of India's history, focusing particular attention on the impact of British imperialism on Independent India. Maria Misra begins with the rebellion against the British in 1857 and tracks the country's advance to the present day. India's extremes persist, the author argues, because its politics rest upon a peculiar foundation in which traditional ideas of hierarchy, difference, and privilege coexist to a remarkable degree with modern notions of equality and democracy. The challenge of India's leaders today, as in the last sixty years, is to weave together the disparate threads of the nation's ancient culture, colonial legacy, and modern experience.
