Pierced Rock Press to Give Away Free Copies of its Highly Awaited Book

Independent African publisher Pierced Rock Press is pleased to announce a book giveaway of a highly anticipated, undisputed upcoming classic African literature to newspaper outlets, literary magazines, book reviewers, book clubs and bloggers for those interested in conducting reviews, author interviews and book discussions.

In this masterpiece titled ‘Biték, He From Whom Death Ran‘, to be published on June 15, Cameroonian political refugee in the Philippines and The Pride of an African Migrant memoir author Massocki Ma Massocki writes the history of his African ancestors by retelling their witness accounts.

The book is a condensed cross-cultural tale of Biték, the author’s grandfather, a man tasked by the divine to save his village from the grasps of its enemy—colonization.

Biték is an expository account of blatant violations and historical aggressions of the European colonization and its religion and laws geared towards eradicating the cultural identity of Biték’s African ancestors.

British Zen Buddhist priest and widely published writer of topics covering Japan, Zen Buddhism and comparative religion Rev. Dr. David Keizan Scott Roshi describes Biték as ‘a unique and fascinating book—wonderful storytelling that grips your attention, together with a razor-sharp deconstruction of the damage inflicted by European colonization.’

The book will be available for pre-order on Amazon no later than March 27. Bookstores, libraries and wholesalers may also pre-order on IngramSpark for a 55% discount and a return policy.

Interested readers are recommended to subscribe to the email list on the author’s official website or the publisher’s website or  to receive the latest updates on events, excerpts, book giveaways, tours, deals and more.

Pierced Rock Press is the publishing outfit of Pierced Rock, a conglomeration of companies involved in art and mass media production with a mission to promote human rights—African people’s rights, in particular—and advance African literature.

How can Energy Audits inform your Net Zero Strategy?

Image
Many organisations are already in the habit of undertaking energy audits to highlight where energy and water efficiencies can be made, save on utility costs, and reduce carbon emissions. Unfortunately, the sad reality of many energy audits and surveys (especially ones that are completed for compliance with ESOS), is that once they are completed, the report is often tucked away into a ‘virtual’ drawer, never to be seen again. But what if there was another use for that forgotten energy audit? Did you know that it could actually be a really useful business tool to help get you started on your net zero journey? To help you harness that data in a practical way, Energy Services Analyst, Rhiannon Farquhar explains what makes energy audits so essential to carbon management and how they can be used to get your business on the path to net zero. So, what are energy audits? To put it simply, an energy audit is an assessment of the energy needs and efficiency of a building (or process), which

Garden Offices | The Ultimate Work from Home Solution for 2021

The Pros and Cons of Working from Home Working from home was not so long ago considered a perk of the job, however, the much-longed-for 30-second commute, for many of us, has finally become a realisation. Prior to the global pandemic, we would have spent 492 days of our lives commuting to and from work and inevitably, Covid-19 has brought about a catalyst of change. Businesses are now seeing the benefits of reducing costs by giving up office spaces, and with commuting now significantly reduced, one of the biggest winners out of this situation is the environment. With this in mind, there’s no doubt that the “new normal” of home working is, quite clearly, here to stay. The general consensus is that working from home is wholly positive and can provide a better work-life balance. Whilst this is true, there is evidence to suggest that this can be quite the opposite, with staff working later than usual as they battle to “switch-off” when their working day is over. So, what’s the solutio

Forgiveness Plan Would Remove One-Third of Students’ Loan Debt

About one in three Idahoans who have federal student-loan debt would see it erased entirely if the Biden administration goes forward with a $10,000 forgiveness plan. That’s according to analysis from the website Student Loan Hero . President Joe Biden is considering eliminating the debt through executive order. Andrew Pentis, a senior writer and certified student loan counselor at Student Loan Hero, said the average monthly loan repayment in Idaho is $274. “Whether you have more or less than $10,000 worth of student loans left to repay, this dose of forgiveness would be hugely helpful, in either getting rid of your debt or shrinking it considerably,” said Pentis. “So certainly, if you’re a borrower in Idaho, you’d be rooting for something like this to happen.” The Trump administration paused federal student loan repayments in March 2020 during the pandemic. Biden extended the pause on his first day in office through at least October 1. Some Democrats want the Biden administration
