When the combined forces of Filpini and Indesse conquered Noori Vale, Rumpo thought hed seen the end of his troubles. But when he finds himself facing both rebellious factions among the Noori and traitorous forces within his own ranks, he begins to understand just how wrong he was. And then hes still unaware of the heir to the Noori kingdom plotting his revenge. Wrath Of The Medallion is the final book in B.A. Seloafs majestic fantasy series about the hippos of Filpini, in which his amazing tale reaches its epic conclusion. The story is fast-paced, with a multitude of events going on in several different places at once. The reader can expect an enchanting journey, where both familiar and new characters struggle to stay alive in the tumultuous times theyre facing, and where nothing is certain until the final word has been said.
Eight years have passed since the colony at the hippozones was destroyed, and the conflict with the Noori has escalated until the Filpini rulers are forced to admit a full-scale war is inevitable. Rumpo and Basordan are sent on a hazardous journey to seek an alliance with the people of Indesse, while the Filpini soldiers struggle to keep the ever-increasing number of Noori away from the border. Brothers In Arms is the second volume in B.A. Seloafs epic fantasy tale about the hippos of Filpini and their age-old fight against the Noori. In this book Seloaf takes the story to a new level, forcing his characters to deal with the conflicting interests of different nations as well as with internal power struggles. Its a compelling tale where the reader is torn between hope and despair, and where the most triumphant moment can turn into utter defeat in the blink of an eye.
Evil has finally been destroyed. Or so everyone thought. Someone is set on revenge, and being dead isnt considered an obstacle. On the contrary, death has brought about several new possibilities. This vengeful person knows how to gain immeasurable power, and also where to find others willing to join in this dark, bloody cause. Foremost among those is the one referred to as the Harbinger. And what do we have to oppose this new, terrible threat to mankind? Well, not much the good guys are sadly lacking in both numbers and power. But, as they say, it aint over until the fat lady sings. The fattest lady in this book is Emkei and she doesnt sing, neither at the end nor anywhere else. Harbinger is the hilarious sequel to Scion, in which B.A. Seloaf both introduces us to a number of unforgettable new characters and lets us meet some of our old favorites. When all of them end up together in the depths of the African jungle, things are bound to happen that not even the most imaginative mind could have predicted.

Agrochemicals and agricultural practices have a tremendous impact on environmental quality, particularly their role in water quality degradation. Soil Processes and Water Quality examines principles and practices that minimize the risks of water pollution while enhancing agricultural intensification and productivity. It focuses on how agricultural practices-such as tillage methods, use of fertilizers and manures, cropping systems, and the use of agrochemicals and pest control measures-impact soil processes and affect water quality. Extensive coverage of such topics as water contamination by runoff, leaching, macropore flow, and sediments is also included. Rapid increases in the use of agrochemicals make Soil Processes and Water Quality an indispensable reference for soil scientists, water quality professionals, researchers, environmental chemists, agrochemicals professionals, government agency employees, academic instructors, agronomists, and students.
In the First Anglo-Afghan War of 1839 to 1842, considered the most infamous of all colonial wars, only Dr. Brydon survived out of a 13,000 to 20,000 Kabul army of the British Raj. William Dalrymple, a contemporary English historian writing in his 2013 book Return of a King, points out a number of parallel facts about that war and the present situation in which NATO and American forces are engaged. The British "Army of Sind" replaced King Dost with Shah Shuja, who lived in exile in India for twenty years under British protection. The regime change by the British was successful with the two Afghan kings interchanging residences. Dalrymple states, "Shah Shuja and President Karzai share the same tribal heritage; the Shah's principal opponents were the Ghilzai tribes, who today make up the bulk of the Taliban foot soldiers; the same cities garrisoned by British troops are today garrisoned by foreign troops, attacked from the same rings of hills and high passes from which the British faced attacks." After two years as renegades, Prince Dost's twenty-three-year-old son Prince Akbar along his comrade Fitzgerald from Pennsylvania, who was the first American in that land, return to fight the British Army of occupation. The Irish-American Fitzgerald mournfully relates the inhumane events of that war and his own adventures in becoming an Afghan prince.
This book is a very creative work. In it the author sets a different scene before writing a dialogue between people, which ends in a very humorous joke or punch line.

My goal in writing this book is not to try to instruct you or to indoctrinate you. It's rather to present you with a menu of theories, reflections and certain facts concerning civilization and its difficulties in advancing to the next level. That next level, for me, would be to take heed of and to put into practice the 2600 year old Golden rule: "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you". It's a rule that everybody understands, but somehow, we have not yet succeeded to apply it at all levels of the world's societies. Family is the institution where we apply it the most; although more in some than in others. The school is an institution where the golden rule is sacrificed in great part due to its coercive approach and its lame pedagogy. The government is the institution where it's the least applied, due to corruption and abuse of power, and the omnipresent coercion towards other countries and towards its own citizen. Is it to say that we're doomed and that there's nothing to be done? I tried ...and hope I succeeded in answering that question in this book.

Bill Clinton often gets credit for being the architect of the longest economic expansion in U.S. history and for being the catalyst for 22+ million jobs that were created during his tenure. Based on this reputation, the conventional wisdom is that the U.S. can regain the prosperity of the Clinton era by electing a president with similar political values, who will advance similar policies. B. A. Marbue Brown challenges the conventional wisdom by presenting a fact-based analysis, which shows that five factors combined to create an economic perfect storm during the Clinton years, and that the President had little if any influence over those factors. He also shows that several popular beliefs about the administration's economic record are founded on myths. Then leveraging lessons learned from his analysis, he adds prescriptions that policymakers can use to drive economic growth in more typical circumstances. Almost 300 citations back up his conclusions. B. A. Marbue Brown is a veteran of the Information Technology (IT) industry with more than 20 years experience. Over the course of his career, he has held senior positions with IT industry leaders Microsoft Corporation, Cisco Systems and Telcordia Technologies. Mr. Brown is an accomplished market research expert, whose work has been published in The Handbook of Business Strategy and Marketing Research Magazine. He has consulted extensively in the Communications industry, particularly with Fortune 100 telecommunications companies. He specializes in analyzing IT market and technology trends to formulate competitive business strategies. He is also highly regarded for helping companies improve business performance through advanced customer research analytics.

Like merchant ships flying flags of convenience to navigate foreign waters, traders in the northern borderlands of the early American republic exploited loopholes in the Jay Treaty that allowed them to avoid border regulations by constantly shifting between British and American nationality. In Citizens of Convenience, Lawrence Hatter shows how this practice undermined the United States’ claim to nationhood and threatened the transcontinental imperial aspirations of U.S. policymakers. The U.S.-Canadian border was a critical site of United States nation- and empire-building during the first forty years of the republic. Hatter explains how the difficulty of distinguishing U.S. citizens from British subjects on the border posed a significant challenge to the United States’ founding claim that it formed a separate and unique nation. To establish authority over both its own nationals and an array of non-nationals within its borders, U.S. customs and territorial officials had to tailor policies to local needs while delineating and validating membership in the national community. This type of diplomacy—balancing the local with the transnational—helped to define the American people as a distinct nation within the Revolutionary Atlantic world and stake out the United States’ imperial domain in North America.
