Bode was a loner, more by chance then intention. He was always on the lookout for things to aid his survival, and some of the things he found were to change his life and those of his friends forever. His little clan was all that was left (as far as he knew) after the holocaust brought about by man's foolishness, and that was bound up in mysticism and myth - which didn't help their survival one little bit.By pushing his luck to the limit, and taking chances no others would dare, he forged a new life - and hope for what was left of mankind. This bite-sized tale from David Reynolds-Moreton foreshadows possible histories of his other fascinating stories such as The Tribe and Of Wood, Metal and Glass.

Religion, Race, Multiculturalism, and Everyday Life takes a spirited conceptualist look back into the history of our development. The book sets out to explore the ways in which a punditry of human equality continues to lock in unassailably assured logical postures, enabled by the historically intertwined roles played by power and the passage of time, towards the invention and sustenance of social truth. Religion, race, and multiculturalism have been written about many times, and from a variety of academic, discipline-specific perspectives. Nonetheless, these social issues remain ever relevant to any sincere bid to understand the inegalitarian aspects of modern society. Religion, Race, Multiculturalism, and Everyday Life was primarily written with serious students of philosophy, sociology, the humanities, and history in mind. The author contends that we should never be too afraid to explore contentious or difficult philosophical and social questions.

This book is a compelling narrative which is incredibly emotive and evokes a strong sense of empathy in the reader.
