This is a story with UFOs, aliens, time-travel, magic, Daemons, faeries, shape-shifters, werebears, dragons, nanotechnology, femtotechnology, weaponised Memes, alternate universes, fate, space-craft, artificial intelligence, cyberwraiths, mythology and masses of mysteries... And this is only the second book of the trilogy

The advent and implementation of European colonialism have disrupted innumerable epistemological geographies around the globe. Countless cultural ways of knowing and local educational practices have in some way been displaced and dislocated within the universalizing project of the Euro-Colonial Empire. This book revisits the colonial relations of culture and education, questions various embedded imperial procedures and extricates the strategic offerings of local ways of knowing which resisted colonial imposition. The contributors of this collection are concerned with the ways in which colonial education forms the governing edict for local peoples. In The Politics of Cultural Knowledge, the authors offer an alternative reading of conventional discussions of culture and what counts as knowledge concerning race, class, gender, sexuality, identity, and difference in the context of the Diaspora.

When Desi, a twenty-something science graduate, can't get to sleep one night, the last thing she expected was for the TV to explode, for her to get abducted by aliens, or to get drawn into a temporal war that, somehow, is probably her fault. During her adventures we also follow the progress of two other, combatants also drawn into this war: One is Garner a half-fey, half-human wizard working for a mad machine-god, and the other is a member of a spiritually rich species of shape-shifting travellers, that call themselves the Bulmäs, but that Desi knows by a host of other names. We follow our three adventurers stories as they weave their way through Time and Space, through alternate histories, into the realms of the inner-world of Faery and the outer abyss, and finally right back to the beginning, fighting a war that holds the fate of Universes in the balance. Combining Humour, Science-Fiction, Fantasy, Time-Travel, Pop-culture, and Mythology into a spell-binding roller-coaster.

The stunning conclusion to the Paradox War: Desi, Garner and Teucoi battle to survive in a universe that is coming apart at the seams. Desi quickly learns that she has not won the war. Norridi and Garner escaped her trap and are still continuing the war against her and her friends. Meanwhile Teucoi learns about the city in the centre of the Lea and the Dæmons that besiege it. Each side of the War races back in time trying to secure the timeline for themselves in a conclusion that redefines the very nature of reality. Before the end of the book, each character has faced the same choice, with death being at least one of the options.

Many women who lived through the Second World War believed it heralded new status and opportunities, but scholars have argued that very little changed. How can these interpretations be reconciled? Making the Best of It examines the ways in which gender and other identities intersected to shape the experiences of female Canadians and Newfoundlanders during the war. The contributors to this thoughtful collection consider mainstream and minority populations, girls and women, and different parts of Canada and Newfoundland. They reassess topics such as women in the military and in munitions factories, and tackle entirely new subjects such as wartime girlhood in Quebec. Collectively, these essays broaden the scope of what we know about the changes the war wrought in the lives of Canadian women and girls, and address wider debates about memory, historiography, and feminism.

He offers novel proposals about cultural survival and identity, sustainability, and the endangered health of Native Americans.
