Sometimes brotherly love just isn't enough. Meeet Omari. Life is idyllic--at least as far as he knows--and he couldn't be happier. Happy family. Great school. Solid future. His brother has chosen to go down a different road, though, and it has cost him the love (and money) of their very wealthy and influential father. Just as Omari has finally settled into his comfortable life at college, tragedy strikes and rocks the foundation that his entire life has been built around. Facing homelessness and the responsbility of raising his little sister, Omari is reunited with his estranged brother and tries to rebuild a life in a community where he knows nothing and no one. A story of love, loss, and truly finding out who you are meant to be, Omari will take the reader on a remarkable journey of understanding that many of our life experiences are essential in our personal growth and development, and agruably, a part of our own destinies.

Man pushed the boundaries of science and technology too far. This march to progress trampled and transformed Earth into an unrecognizable world. This new world caters not to the humans who once conquered it but to the strange and powerful beings that spring from it. This complete shift against the men of Earth causes them to seek refuge in the stars and into the very same sciences that set their perils in motion. And as humans push beyond their mortal limitations to seize a new era of dominion, they are being watched and manipulated by powers that extend far beyond the confines of Earth. Man's relationship with these foreign beings drags them into a perilous time of secrecy, violence, and the abuse of knowledge. Trials of Tomorrow shares the tales of the men, women, and creatures spawned from this era of unrestrained science and how their strange powers shape the future of Earth and the galaxy.
This book bridges an existing gap in the literature relating to the study of workplace abuse, incivility and bullying. It provides broad perspectives to capture some of the diversity associated with the study of (negative) human behaviours using different methodological approaches, and in different cultural contexts. Studies in the area have grown in leaps and bounds over the last few decades.

On one hand the paucity of research is assisting in better understanding and management of these negative behaviours, on anoth...

But when I was approached to transport a sun-sick child - half-human, half-phoenix - back to his family, I couldn't refuse. The catch? I had to take him through the Dragon Lord's territory, the one place I could never afford to be seen. To make matters worse, my client seems to know something about me that I've worked hard to keep hidden. If I don't succeed in this mission, it cou...
