DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis is an authentic moving account of the life and work of KWAME NKRUMAH, "The Greatest African" (the words inscribed on his coffin in Guinea), by an author well qualified to write about him. In this biography, June Milne traces the life and work of Kwame Nkrumah from his birth in Nkroful in the western province of the Gold Coast (Ghana) to his death in Bucharest, Romania on 27 April, 1972. The book contains much new material, notably relating to years Nkrumah spent in Conakry, Guinea after the military coup in Accra on 24 February, 1966 which ended his government in Ghana. It adds to information in the author's book Kwame Nkrumah, The Conakry Years, published in 1990. For the first time in a biography of Nkrumah, information is provided about all the books written by him. The circumstances in which they were written are explained, their contents examined, appraisal made of their significance and continuing impact on political developments in Africa and the Diaspora. Very few statesmen have attempted or achieved so much as Kwame Nkrumah, a leading activist and theoretician of PanAfricanism. His work lives on and continues to inspire Africans, people of African descent and progressive movements worldwide.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe journey of Tavon Meiziki continues with a fight that will determine his fate going forward in a world that has come to utterly despise him. Upon escaping from the Citadel, his homeland, Tavon managed to anger monarchs and members of parliamentary bodies across the globe, marking himself as a target for the thousands of people who want to kill him. After joining the Angelos Association as a Death Officer who’s quickly assigned his first target, Tavon must pass through the Dreaming City, Zannica, on his way to his target’s location in the country of Saizakune. In the Dreaming City, labour is a thing of the past; art and human innovation prevail, and an unregulated drug market threatens to turn a city of dreams into a city of nightmares. A group of radicals known as the “Prophets” has risen, and the Prophets are interested in playing a deadly game with the city’s population. With a number of tools at their disposal, the Prophets, alongside a photographer who specializes in depicting gore and human exploitation, plan to throw the country into chaos by using their powers to make otherwise ordinary people insane. While facing trial for his murders in the Citadel, Tavon must undergo a “project” that will examine his personal psychology and will determine whether or not he is to be executed at the hands of the Grandmaster of Zannica.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKEver since he joined the sports department of the Boston Globe in 1968, sports enthusiasts have been blessed with the writing and reporting of Bob Ryan. Tony Kornheiser calls him the “quintessential American sportswriter.” For the past twenty-five years, he has also been a regular on various ESPN shows, especially The Sports Reporters, spreading his knowledge and enthusiasm for sports of all kinds. Born in 1946 in Trenton, New Jersey, Ryan cut his teeth going with his father to the Polo Grounds and Connie Mack Stadium, and to college basketball games at the Palestra in Philadelphia when it was the epicenter of the college game. As a young man, he became sports editor of his high school paper-and at age twenty-three, a year into his Boston Globe experience, he was handed the Boston Celtics beat as the Bill Russell era ended and the Dave Cowens one began. His all-star career was launched. Ever since, his insight as a reporter and skills as a writer have been matched by an ability to connect with people-players, management, the reading public-probably because, at heart, he has always been as much a fan as a reporter. More than anything, Scribe reveals the people behind the stories, as only Bob Ryan can, from the NBA to eleven Olympics to his surprising favorite sport to cover-golf-and much more It is sure to be one of the most talked-about sports books of 2014, by one of the sports world's most admired journalists.
