There are two unknown planets. One is called Red Earth but is commonly known as Syrs, and it is a similar planet as Earth expect the sky will always remain red and the weather there is always rainy with a full moon in the sky. The other planet is called Blue Earth but is commonly known as Eyrs, our home planet, including Zatrickstar Island, where the fairies live. This story tells us about a young lady named Ariana Swan. She lived in a village in Cravendellri Bagshotvillias with her mother, Kate Swan, and her father, John Swan. She used to have a sister, but she died a long time ago. Ariana Swan never knew why her sister, Princess Adriana, left the house. She did not know that her sister was married at that time to a royal family; she knows nothing of her, even though she has strange dreams about her. Other dreams about the prophecy confuse her, and she wonders why she dreams of this. Do you think she will ever know the truth about herthe strange dreams of her prophecy, the Sakarii stone, and everything? Will she ever have a happy ending, and will she discover her hidden secrets? You will just have to find out. And so begins the tale.

What are the most popular names of the Ambo people in Namibia? Why do so many Ambos have Finnish first names? What do the African names of these people mean? Why is the namesake so important in Ambo culture? How did the long independence struggle affect personal naming, and what are the latest name-giving trends in Namibia? This study analyses the changes in the personal naming system of the Ambo people in Namibia over the last 120 years, starting from the year 1883 when the first Ambos received biblical and European names at baptism. The central factors in this process were the German and South African colonisation and European missionary work on the one hand, and the rise of African nationalism on the other hand. Eventually, this clash between African and European naming practices led to a new and dynamic naming system which includes elements of both African and European origin.

With honesty, humour and occasional anger, performer Bette Bourne tells the playwright Mark Ravenhill about his brave and flamboyant life. Crafted from transcripts of a series of long, private conversations, actor Bette Bourne reminisces and replays scenes from his life from a postwar childhood,a stint as a classical actor in the late 60s, to living in a drag commune in Notting Hill and being an active member of the Gay Liberation Front. Bette then talks about his touring with the New York based Hot Peaches cabaret group and founding his own cabaret troop, Bloolips, which redefined the term gay theatre by creating their very own unique celebration of dramatic and colourful homosexuality. The piece, in three parts, marks a different series of events in Bette's life to reveal both a portrait of a pioneering, radical individual and a historical document of the struggles and achievements of gay liberation.

This book explores the different perspectives and historical moments of nationalism in Cyprus. It does this by looking at nationalism as a form of identity, as a form of ideology, and as a form of politics. The fifteen contributors to this book are scholars of different scientific backgrounds and present Cypriot nationalisms from an interdisciplinary framework, including approaches such as history, political science, psychology, and gender studies. The chapters take a historical approach to nationalism and argue that the world of nations, ethnic identity, and national ideology are neither eternal, nor ahistorical nor primordial, but are rather socially constructed and function within particular historical and social contexts. As a land that was, and still is, marked by opposed nationalisms – that is, Greek and Turkish – Cyprus constitutes a fertile ground for examining the history, the dynamics, and the dialectics of nationalism.
