The Transformation of the UN World Food Programme and of Food Aid

The World's Largest Humanitarian Agency

Life itself is the journey. Be thrust into an eternity of darkness, where all that you encounter is a perverse shadow of life. Imagine that world of perpetual night, where life and death are an everyday occurrence, and where love and commitment struggle to exist hand in hand with a thirst for power. Terry and Josie, together with a band of companions, cross the threshold of death. Twisted into creatures of the night, they are thrust into a life riddled with Vampiric intrigue. Eternally Yours embodies the first murky, at times violent nights of unlife. Penned by the Vampires themselves, they allow us to gain an unfettered entrance into their world. Struggling to cope with both their shifting morality and their obsessive desires, the women, along with their coven, find themselves caught in a web of deceit and sexuality that threatens to destroy the very fabric of their being.

Eternally Yours

This is the first history to be written of the World Food Programme (WFP), the food aid arm of the United Nations System. It tells the story of the antecedents and origins of WFP and growth from modest beginnings as a three-year experiment in 1963-65 to become the main source of international food aid for both disaster relief and development against the background of the evolution and development of food aid. This dual role has put WFP in the front line of the United Nations attack on poverty, hunger and food insecurity.

The Transnational Fantasies of Guillermo del Toro

Since Mary Shelley drew inspiration for Frankenstein from the scientific speculations to which she attended as a 'nearly silent listener' at the now famous chateau in Switzerland, many other women have been similarly motivated to produce works informed by scientific theory. Successive chapters trace the history of women's science fiction writing from the turn of the century to the early 1990s, analysing how women writers have utilised the genre to critique the ideology that informs what counts as scientific knowledge.
