Reclaiming My Dreams
A woman yearns for self-assurance to be a woman of dreams, of song and poetry. The feel of life, buried by over socialisation and domestication processes, oppressed by the surrounding culture and dealing with a problem without a name, is lifted in the process of dreaming, singing songs and reciting poetry. That is the woman Wanjira becomes when she narrates stories. She reclaims her dreams through her stories. She reclaims her wellness, hope, independence and strength. You see the sparkle in her eyes when she talks abut dances, courtship, beauty, children, love, courage, determination, joy, and womanhood. Reclaiming My Dreams: Stories by Wanjira wa Rukenya is thus, an individual artist's work. It goes a long way in helping students appreciate the narrative genre and understand the creative role of individual artists. This understanding demystifies the idea that anybody and everybody in the African society is a storyteller; an assertion that has belittled the artistry of African Oral Literature. The book makes us appreciate our cultural heritage. Students of literature in Secondary Schools and in higher institutions of learning will find this book useful.
THE 256 ODU DE IFA CUBAN AND TRADITIONAL VOL. 8 Ogbe Ose-Ogbe Ofun
These Treatises of the Odu of Ifá in volumes, are very complete, since in addition to dealing with the Afro-Cuban Odu of Ifá, they also contain treatises of Traditional African Ifá. Both bring together thousands of Pataki or Stories, thousands of Eboses and works, which will make it easier for you to deepen your study and resolve any situation that arises in the religious field of consulting the Ifá oracle. The Synthesis of the Treaties of the Odu of Ifá, already published by me previously, is nothing more than, as its name indicates, a synthesis of these treaties, whose objective was always to support to the Babalawo as a handy reminder, starting from the base, that these issues have been studied and deepened before. For these reasons, it is highly recommended to have this valuable information in your library. We have grouped only two Odu in each volume, to facilitate their acquisition.
Symmetry and Condensed Matter Physics
Unlike existing texts, this book blends for the first time three topics in physics - symmetry, condensed matter physics and computational methods - into one pedagogical textbook. It includes new concepts in mathematical crystallography; experimental methods capitalizing on symmetry aspects; non-conventional applications such as Fourier crystallography, color groups, quasicrystals and incommensurate systems; as well as concepts and techniques behind the Landau theory of phase transitions. Adopting a computational approach to the application of group theoretical techniques to solving symmetry related problems, it dramatically alleviates the need for intensive calculations usually found in the presentation of symmetry. Writing computer programs helps the student achieve a firm understanding of the underlying concepts, and sample programs, based on Mathematica, are presented throughout the book. Containing over 150 exercises, this textbook is ideal for graduate students in condensed matter physics, materials science, and chemistry. Solutions and computer programs are available online at www.cambridge.org/9780521828451.

Ngā Tau Rere
In Nga Tau Rere, David Simmons introduces the reader to 61 ancient Maori poems of forms that are familiar and not so familiar. For example, there are tangi (laments) and haka taua (war dance) and, less well-known, whakaaraara (watch-cries). The poems have been selected from Sir George Grey's Ko Nga Moteatea me Nga Hairara o Nga Maori, which is a collection of works gathered and recorded by Grey and published in 1853. Every poem tells a story and is a record of Maori history. The author has provided English translations for each poem, as well as sourcing information about the subject matter of the poems and providing extensive notes. The introductory notes explain how Maori poetry is composed, and identifies elements of construction that provide a common thread throughout its many forms. This book is an excellent resource for those who wish to appreciate the beauty of Maori poetry and those who wish to study its form, its meaning and the contribution the art form makes to Maori society and culture.
