Fading Echoes

Now in paperback-a true story of hometown heroes. In a state that prides itself on hard-hitting gridiron epics, Doylestown, Pennsylvania, was home to the greatest high school football rivalry: the Central Bucks West, captained by senior fullback/linebacker Bryan Buckley, versus the Central Bucks East, led by senior lineman Colby Umbrell. Bryan and Colby would meet each other as opponents on the game field, but their dreams and devotion to their country led each of them to the conflict in the Middle East-Colby as an Army Ranger, and Bryan as a Marine. Only one would make it back to Doylestown. And nothing about them, their families, or their hometown's connection to football would ever be the same

Fading Echoes is a book about childhood trauma and the healing of the inner child. It follows the stages of recovery, inspired by the five stages of grief, and ends with a chapter on self-discovery post-trauma. The poems include topics of death, depression and hopelessness but also caring and standing up for oneself. The book is a collection of poems written in a two-year-long period. The poetic rhymes capture the echoes of growing up in a religious environment and being raised by emotionally immature parents. Even though the chapters mark clear sections in the healing journey, the poems were not written in the order they were published - as healing is not linear. The title "Fading Echoes" represents how pain and suffering gradually become quieter and eventually transform into echoes, leaving more room for strength and resilience.

As tensions grow between the Clans, Jayfeather, Lionblaze, and Dovepaw realize that evil is sometimes no more than a whisker's length away. Meanwhile, one cat will make a stand for what is right and another may be lost forever.

How does our colonial past echo through today's global politics? How have former empire-builders sought vindication or atonement, and formerly colonized states reversal or retribution? This groundbreaking book presents a panoramic view of attitudes to empires past and present, seen not only through the hard politics of international power structures but also through the nuances of memory, historiography and national and minority cultural identities. Bringing together leading historians, poitical scientists and international relations scholars from across the globe, Echoes of Empire emphasizes Europe's colonial legacy whilst also highlighting the importance of non-European power centres- Ottoman, Russian, Chinese, Japanese- in shaping world politics, then and now. Echoes of Empire bridges the divide between disciplines to trace the global routes travelled by objects, ideas and people and forms a radically different notion of the term 'empire' itself. This will be an essential companion to courses on international relations and imperial history as well as a fascinating read for anyone interested in Western hegemony, North-South relations, global power shifts and the longue duree.
