With an eye to recovering the experiences of those in frontier
zones of contact, Savage Worlds maps a wide range of different
encounters between Germans and non-European indigenous peoples in
the age of high imperialism. Examining outbreaks of radical
violence as well as instances of mutual co-operation, it examines
the differing goals and experiences of German explorers, settlers,
travellers, merchants and academics, and how the variety of
projects they undertook shaped their relationship with the
indigenous peoples they encountered. Examining the multifaceted
nature of German interactions with indigenous populations, this
volume offers historians and anthropologists clear evidence of the
complexity of the colonial frontier and frontier zone encounters.
It poses the question of how far Germans were able to overcome
their initial belief that, in leaving Europe, they were entering
'savage worlds'. -- .
This book explores the place of China and the Chinese during the
age of imperialism. Focusing not only on the state but also on the
vitality of Chinese culture and the Chinese diaspora, it examines
the seeming contradictions of a period in which China came under
immense pressure from imperial expansion while remaining a major
political, cultural and demographic force in its own right. Where
histories of China commonly highlight episodes of conflict and
subjugation in China's relations with the West, the contributions
to this volume explore the complex spaces where empires and their
peoples did not merely collide but also became entangled.

Twisted Fletches is about a lot of things that mysteriously
intertwine in life. Many things in life go un-noticed to the
majority of people, and they live dumbly to those things. It was
written to inform people in a sense, while in other words it is
horrific story of everyday evils occuring behind closed doors. The
book mainly is about a decent man's life being denied by a certain
group of individuals. While they use his influences to their own
gains, they mysteriously cause many rejections or roadblocks to
alter his life to a level of miserable deniance. He is a great and
valuable person, but throughout all his days they continue to use
his life to make their own appear better. Personally, writting the
book seemed to create a wonderful little television episode like
the one hour shows that run five days a week. The situations may
never end, and there may be no sign of justice to become. The story
could have been a little more elaborated, however that is an
entirely different book in the making.
