    Inspired by decolonial thinking, this book challenges romantic images of Y Wladfa, the Welsh Patagonian settlement founded in 1865. Drawing on archival sources written in Spanish, Welsh and English, it exposes the complex human relationships of this settler colony, and in particular disrupts the myth of Welsh-Indigenous friendship by foregrounding Indigenous experience and revealing less familiar accounts in the record. A newly-developed framework applies three logics - possession, racialization/barbarisation, and assimilation - to make sense of settler colonialism in Patagonia and to debate Wales's complex position as both colonised and coloniser. A new analysis of contemporary cultural products (television, film, textbooks) further demonstrates how the romantic view continues to shape racial stereotypes today, concluding that such settler origin countries as Wales are vital sites of decolonial debate.

    Vitamins are organic molecules and essential micronutrients that are required by organisms in small quantities for appropriate functioning of their metabolism. Essential nutrients are usually not synthesized or if at all, are synthesized in insufficient quantities in the body of organisms. Therefore, organisms must obtain vitamins through proper diet. The majority of vitamins contain groups of related molecules known as vitamers. For instance, vitamin E has eight vitamers comprising four tocotrienols and four tocopherols. In humans, 13 vitamins are found. They are vitamins A, E, C, K, D, B1, B5, B9, B2, B12, B3, B7, and B9. The vitamins are classified as being either fat-soluble or water-soluble based on their solubility. Vitamins A, D, E, and K are fat-soluble vitamins, whereas all others are water-soluble. The fat soluble vitamins are absorbed by the body along with the fats. They are stored within the liver and the fatty tissue. This book explores the biochemistry and clinical applications of vitamins. Those in search of information to further their knowledge on fat soluble vitamins will be greatly assisted by it.

    Vitamins are the organic compounds essential for human health. They are classified as fat soluble vitamins which include vitamins A, D, E, and K, and water soluble vitamins which include vitamin C and all the B vitamins. Fat soluble vitamins are stored in the human body in the fatty tissue and liver. These vitamins can be stored in the body for days and in certain cases, reserves of these vitamins remain in the body for months. Dietary fats facilitate the absorption of fat soluble vitamins through the intestinal tract. Vitamin A is a fat soluble vitamin found in sources like broccoli, carrots, butter, sweet potatoes, kale, pumpkins, spinach, etc. The deficiency of vitamin A causes keratomalacia and night blindness. Vitamin D is another fat soluble vitamin important for the healthy mineralization of bones and its deficiency results in rickets and osteomalacia. The topics included in this book on fat-soluble vitamins are of utmost significance and bound to provide incredible insights to readers. Those in search of information to further their knowledge on the health impacts of fat soluble vitamins will be greatly assisted by it.

    These poems show life. They apply personally, and generally, to many souls. We hurt, thrive, live, die, smile, and cry. Pain is experienced for ourselves, circumstances, and through others. We hurt on purpose and on accident, creating a large web of tragedy and love. The array of emotions we possess as possibilities is incredible and endless. You will find many in my poetry.
