The Whispering Trees
The Whispering Trees, award winning writer Abubakar Adam Ibrahim’s debut collection of short stories, employs nuance, subtle drama and deadpan humour to capture colourful Nigerian lives. There’s Kyakkyawa, who sparks forbidden thoughts in her father and has a bit of angels and witches in her; there’s the mysterious butterfly girl who just might be a incarnation of Ohikwo’s long dead mother; there’s also a flummoxed white woman caught between two Nigerian brothers and an unfolding scandal, and, of course, the two medicine men of Mazade who battle against their egos, an epidemic and an enigmatic witch.
The Quest for Nina
Seven years after he buried her, Biko Maiyaki could not let go of the memory of the woman he had loved, the woman who had loved him, the woman who had been his wife for three wonderful years. His obsession leads him to decode her diaries and start reading them and from the pages of her diary, Nina's enigmatic character sizzles to life and in a winding tale of discovery, leads Biko to some very disturbing secrets about her life that had everything to do with his life, with his past - his proud family's past. He discovers that the love of his life had in fact been an angel of vengeance that was out to rout his entire family for an offence someone in his family had committed. In his engaging quest, he discovers some truths that rocked the very foundation of everything he had believed in, disturbing truths he should never have known about his life, his family's life - truths that lead him to reincarnate the vengeful monster that Nina's love and supreme sacrifice have reluctantly laid to rest.
Infectious Disease Epidemiology
Infectious Disease Epidemiology provides a concise reference for practicing epidemiologists, and provides trainee readers with a thorough understanding of basic the concepts which are critical to understanding specialist areas of infectious disease epidemiology. Divided into two sections, part one of the book covers a comprehensive list of methods relevant to the study of infectious disease epidemiology, organised in order of increasing complexity, from a general introduction, to subjects such as mathematical modelling and sero-epidemiology. Part two addresses major infectious diseases that are of global significance due to their current burden or their potential for causing morbidity and mortality. The examples have been selected and grouped into chapters based on the route of transmission. This practical guide will be essential reading for postgraduate students in infectious disease epidemiology, health protection trainees.
