Bad Guys: Personal Accounts of Military Service in the South African Defence Force 1969 to 1990 (Sentinel SADF Monographs) by Barry Fowler (43 Reviews)    Price verified 10 minutes ago

Bad Guys Personal Accounts of Military Service in the South African Defence Force 1969 to 1990 Most people today, when presented with the more recently accepted picture of the Apartheid regime that ruled in South Africa until the mid-1990s, can be excused for believing that all personnel who served in the Armed Forces of the South African Defence Force during that time were "Bad Guys", who personally suppressed the black population. With new and representative governments in power in both Namibia and South Africa today, not much evidence is likely to be produced to counter such an opinion. In this, and other books, we hope to present a human face of those involved in the SADF, most of whom were not remotely evil, and were just trying to make the best they could of a difficult and uncomfortable situation, without considering themselves to have been holding up the Apartheid regime. The 18 personal accounts in this book are by men who served part of their service in South-West Africa, during the border war. These are the thoughts, feelings and experiences of the men who were there.

A Prescription for Alcoholics - Medications for Alcoholism by Linda Burlison (25 Reviews)    Price verified 4 hours ago

Never heard of medication for alcoholism? You're not alone. Eighty-eight thousand Americans will die this year from alcoholism. Most will do so without ever knowing of the FDA-approved medications that might have saved their lives. 'A Prescription for Alcoholics - Medications for Alcoholism' by author Linda Burlison, is the first book ever published about FDA-approved medications The book takes a first sober look at anti-alcoholism drugs, the research behind them, and why nobody seems to know about them. Most people (including physicians and alcoholics) are unaware of the FDA-approved medications to fight alcoholism, despite the fact that the US government calls them the 'standard of care for the treatment of alcoholism.' Instead of medical treatment, the vast majority of doctors send treatment-seeking alcoholics to Alcoholics Anonymous-based 12-step programs which result in a dismal failure rate estimated at 90 percent. The 550-page book is an extensive look at drugs like naltrexone, acamprosate, baclofen, topiramate, gabapentin, nalmefene and others. Dr. Nora Volkow, the Director of the US National Institute on Drugs, and Dr. George Koob, Director of the US National Institute on Drug Abuse are spearheading a new understanding of alcoholism as a complex brain disease, and the medication that can treat it. Drs. Volkow and Koob are just two of thousands of researchers whose clinical research into medication for alcoholism forms the body of evidence the book cites. Written in plain English, the book highlights hundreds of studies conducted over many decades into medication that can reduce cravings, help manage alcohol consumption and help troubled drinkers abstain from drinking completely. The book provides answers to important questions about safety, liver toxicity, side effects, dosage and more. Most importantly it provides easy-to-read information which can be brought to a doctor's office to help a patient and their physician make ...

SADF Border Base Layouts (Sentinel SADF Monographs) by Barry Fowler (4 Reviews)    Price verified 41 minutes ago

This is a work in progress. I'm publishing at this time hoping that this draft will be found by people interested and willing to contribute to improving this book, and making it more comprehensive. The original remit was to identify each SADF base on the South West African - Angolan border, state its location, and provide a sketch map of the base layout, and maybe a photo or two to illustrate the layout of the base. Then `mission creep' became involved. Bases were developed over the years, some moved, and some were closed. There are thousands of photos of the border bases on the Internet, and it is not feasible to include many of them in such a book - even where copyright and permission can be established. Links and references are provided to related material elsewhere. Some border bases are described in detail, with there being little information about others. I publish what I have been given, and have been able to collect. There is much more out there that needs to be collected and preserved, before memories fade.

Using Profitable Investing Sites: Barron’s, MarketWatch, Finviz and Seeking Alpha by Tony Pow (1 Review)    Price verified 2 hours ago

This book includes Fundamental Analysis and Technical Analysis. However, we depend on the everyday news on Intangible Analysis and Qualitative Analysis that are available for the web sites described in this book. This book identifies some good sites with the following characteristics: • Concentrate on investing and stocks. • Tell us what stocks or sectors to trade. • In-depth analysis of stocks and sectors. • Providing reliable statistics. • Avoiding frightening headlines as in many YouTube videos and investing news. • Available (free or low-cost). Barron's fits all the above categories except the cost. MarketWatch is bundled in a promotion with Barron's; it is a little basic to me and has many features that can be found in other similar sites such as Seeking Alpha and Yahoo!Finance. I am keeping watch lists of the recommended stocks and I will update their performances. Most of the watch lists have a reduced number of stocks after my evaluation (described in the Book 3 treating Book as "super section"). I am using Barron's digitized version in this book. The printed book should be available in most libraries. Use Spotify to find the free version of Barron's. I also subscribe to Fortune magazine and it is usually in my car. Bloomberg is another website with a lot of beneficial information, and as many other sites they are free for a limited number of articles. WSJ is a required subscription for many business students, and it describes the market better than most other web sites. There are many interesting YouTube videos. Many listen to these videos during their commute. Finviz.com and Yahoo!Finance have been described throughout this book. Many YouTube videos are included in this book. You can bring up YouTube and enter the topic you want to search for. YouTube videos are more fun to watch. Investopedia has a lot of good articles.

Passages to Eternity: Philosophic meditations in poetic form on the meaning of eternity for 72 famous persons. by James Winder Price verified 2 hours ago

As a philosopher once surmised: talent hits a target no one else can hit. Genius, he insisted, hits a target no one else can see. The greatest artists and thinkers are the greatest seers. They do not imagine... only and merely. They study the facts, they think the facts, they feel the facts, until the facts, the acts of faith, the articles of invention, dissolve in the naked light of the hitherto unseen, until fact, faith, and invention fall away like Halloween masks, like swaddling clothes; and then, leaving behind the tricks and the treats, they teach us what to hallow: the nakedness of a newborn joy, perpetually born anew, a joy that can never die, because it never quite knows, but never fails to enjoy, how early it already is, and how young it was always going to be. All thinking, carried far enough, ends in paradox: trying to think the unthinkable. All feeling, carried far enough, ends in paradox: trying to feel the unfeelable. But one can feel the unthinkable, and think the unfeelable. To do so is to think with one's feelings and to feel with one's thoughts. Then, and only then, is it possible to hit a target that no one else can see. To experience deeply (profoundly and creatively) is to think with your feelings and to feel with your thoughts. And there's a first and last to every thought, to every feeling. To think the first, to feel the first, as if it were the last, and to do so intensely is to know nothingness, to experience death. Yes, this is paradox. To think the last, to feel the last, as if it were the first, and to do so intensely is to experience life, a life that never ends, precisely because - like a box without sides - it is without beginnings and without ends. Yes, this is paradox too. This book continues the conspiracy of significance, the dialectic of nowhere and now here, that began with The History of Eternity. Read this sequel, Passages to Eternity, and follow, if you will, the destiny of this paradox as it unfolds in the lives of 72 ...

You are no one. Level zero. Empty of mind and memory. Even your past has been stripped from your brain by the inscrutable System. A long, difficult road lies between you and remembering any part of who you are. A road punctuated with one death after another. You are too puny to survive by might alone. Information is the single resource that might keep you alive, but the brainless "digis" have none of it. Only those with experience can give you what you need, but most care nothing about you or your plight. In fact, some make it their mission to kill you. So die you will, again and again, your life counter clicking lower and lower. Even the creators do not know what happens when your counter reaches zero, but many are sure that your last life here is just that. No more respawns. You are not the first player in the world of S.T.Y.X., and you will not be the last. You can only hope luck will be on your side. The luckiest players are those who find a vulnerability in the System. Those they call cheaters. Perhaps cheating is the only way to win. Enjoy your game

It's a challenge that constantly puts you face to face with conflicts, disagreements, decisions, and people - all of which need to be brought together to work like a well-oiled machine.

Pueden evitar los desafíos por miedo al fracaso, creyendo que sus habilidades son fijas y no pueden mejorar. Como resultado, también pueden ignorar los comentarios constructivos y sentirse amenazados por el éxito de los demás.

So Much More: A Throwback RomCom (Throwback RomComs Book 2) by Dana Wilkerson (Dana Wilkerson, LLC) (12 Reviews)    Price verified 10 minutes ago

(Note: This book is a sweet, low-heat, closed-door romcom.) I knew I shouldn't have done it. Last month, after I schemed to get my best friend together with her boyfriend, I ended up cuddled on the couch with his brother -- platonically, if platonic cuddling is even a thing. (I can attest that it's not. Well, at least it doesn't feel like it.) Not only that, but I agreed to keep doing it and to keep it a secret from everyone. At the time, I had no doubts it was a mistake. He and his girlfriend had broken up only days before, and I'd wanted him for a long time. But I did it anyway. Now here we are five weeks later. My head is on his lap, his fingers are sliding through my hair, and it's all I can do to keep myself from pulling his lips down to mine. I don't, because I know he doesn't want that. How do I know? He told me so when we started this. Plus, if he changed his mind, he'd let me know. The man is not one to hold back. But then again, neither am I. I'm known for speaking my mind, but in this case I'm not. I'm scared that if I try to take this to another level, he'll shoot me down. And then where will we be? My best friend is probably going to marry his brother. And we work together. It's an impossible situation. I need to end this, but I can't make myself do it. Somebody help me! So Much More is a Throwback RomCom set in the late 1980s. It reads like a contemporary romance with all the tropes, closed-door chemistry, and banter, but the relationship evolves without the use of cell phones or the Internet. Dating was a whole different game in the 80s!

The Hero Guide to Phrasal Verbs - UP & DOWN: A fun explanation of what 900+ phrasal verbs mean, and WHY, with pictures and exercises; for ... by Alice Bell (3 Reviews)    Price verified 41 minutes ago

(Versión español abajo) Textbook and dictionary, and potential coffee table book, The HERO GUIDE to Phrasal Verbs is the new, VISUAL, (and slightly comical), way to learn, and really understand, phrasal verbs. It not only explains what phrasal verbs mean, but also, and perhaps for the very first time, WHY they mean what they do! The GUIDE is extremely useful for both learners and teachers of English as a foreign language. The HERO GUIDE INCLUDES: * All 900+ Up & Down phrasal verbs * more than 300 pictures * 100s of example sentences * Etymological glossary of any vocabulary used which is higher than B1 level * Dictionary of all 900+ Up & Down phrasal verbs + Exercises, + many more exercises on: https://theheroguide.wixsite.com/phrasalverbs Why try to memorize 100s of phrasal verbs that make no sense at all, when with the help of The HERO GUIDE, you can finally start *really understanding* what they mean, and why?! * Why Just UP & DOWN?. Other books may offer a wider range of particles, but normally they will have many fewer phrasal verbs; for example: '100 Boring Phrasal Verbs to Painfully Memorize for The Office'. They also don't explain why their phrasal verbs mean what they do. To understand phrasal verbs properly, the secret is to look at the particles (prepositions). If all particles were to be looked at in just one book, that book would be the size of a small house. The HERO GUIDE may only look at just 2 particles, (Up being the most common with phrasal verbs, and Down being its natural partner), but still has many more phrasal verbs than nearly all other phrasal verb books do. *WARNING: this book has been written without child readers in mind! It is not for child readers! Versión español: Libro de texto y diccionario, The HERO GUIDE to Phrasal Verbs es la nueva forma, ALTAMENTE VISUAL (y ligeramente cómica), de aprender y, quizas por la primera vez, entender realmente los phrasal verbs.

The Worst Country in the World: The true story of an Australian pioneer family (Australia: a personal story Book 1) by Patsy Trench (186 Reviews)    Price verified 3 hours ago

In 1801 Mary Pitt left her home in Fiddleford in Dorset with her five children and sailed across the globe to live in a penal colony. Colonial New South Wales was then barely fourteen years old. It was an experiment that looked as if it was going to fail. What on earth made Mary choose to go there? The Worst Country in the World tells the story of the early days of colonial Australia as seen through the eyes of Mary and her family. It describes how the land that was originally considered not fit to be lived in struggled to become the 'lucky' country it is now. It is a personal story of family history told by Mary's descendant, an Anglo-Australian Londoner who once lived in Australia and has a deep affection for it. It is about struggle and snobbery, reinvention and revaluation. "Set against the backdrop of the Australian migrant experience, 'The Worst Country in the World' is not only a great read but a thought-provoking one too, especially for those with links to Australia, which reinvented itself from a convict colony to one of the 'luckiest' countries in the world." Karen Clare, Family Tree magazine "This book relates the author's family history over five generations, using a variety of techniques, each of which alone would pay rich dividends for students to emulate... It provides a rich scenario for Patsy's imagination, building on meticulous research in archives, to present us with a sensitive novel about Australia's beginnings interspersed with reflections relating to the present day.'

'You don't want to mind about any of this,' said the driver, waving a hand at the grey ruins and the greyer dust. 'In a few days you'll be so used to it that you'll like them. Berlin's a grand place! I'd rather be here than anywhere else in the world, and that's a fact.' 'No more perceptive portrait of Germany in defeat has been etched in word than Frances Faviell's first book, The Dancing Bear, which made so powerful an impact upon me that I read it in a single sitting.' Guy Ramsey, Daily Telegraph 'Berlin during the decisive years from 1946 to 1949... The prostitution which paid so handsomely; the black market which brought in rich rewards, although it meant that the Berliners had to part with treasured possessions; the night clubs which catered for still baser tastes; the impoverished intellectuals and the starving professors and the poor who had only their wits with which to eke out a bare sustenance -- all this and much else the author describes with insight, incisiveness, and realism.' Times Literary Supplement 'There is great charity in this book; there is the sharp, limpid eye of the artist; there is sound realism; and there is an unswerving, passionate desire to tell the truth." John Connell, Evening News 'They were hard and terrible times, and brilliantly does Frances Faviell describe them for us. We meet the Altmann family and follow their joys and troubles... The book is a brilliant pen-picture of the post-war years. We have British, French, American and Russian characters, but the background is always Berlin, and the strange tunes to which its bear danced.' Liverpool Daily Post This new edition includes an afterword by Frances Faviell's son, John Parker, and other supplementary material.

Other chapters gives the reader a glimpse into the medical perspective on injuries and treatment, the G League, and perhaps most importantly, the and and current challenges of the game that both fans and professionals must grasp if the NBA and WNBA are to survive.

"I still wake up with the smell of my own flesh burning in my nostrils some nights." -- A Judge Rotenberg Center Survivor In What Today Withholds: Autism and Human Rights in America, Megan McLaughlin takes us on a harrowing journey through the institutions that neglect, reject, demean, punish, torture, and even kill autistic people in the United States. Her book reveals autistics' appallingly short life expectancy, the discrimination they face as they go about their everyday lives, and the needless cruelties they endure from early childhood on. What lies behind these abuses? McLaughlin argues that it is our society's continuing refusal to accept autistics as fully human. What readers are saying: "Twelve years in the making, What Today Withholds demonstrates deep empathy for the circumstances of autistic people, while offering a detailed and strident--yet constructive--critique of the social barriers autistic people encounter and the perpetuators of these barriers. I am in awe of this book!" -- Nathan Spoon, poet, author most recently of The Importance of Being Feeble-Minded "This is an extraordinary book that is impressive for its depth, scope, and clarity... Both scholarly and sensitive, this book is highly recommended for educators, employers and policy makers looking to better support the basic human needs and aspirations of autistics of all ages." -- Aaron T. Ebata, Ph.D., Co-Founder and Principal Investigator, The Autism Program at UIUC, Professor of Human Development and Family Studies, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

THE SATANIC BIBLE (THE 666 TRILOGY Book 1) by Nolan Aljaddou (19 Reviews)    Price verified 3 hours ago

The Holy Bible of Satanism. God Himself, revealed in His entirety - as nothing. The universe, by Name, only is Satan; the first and ultimate Lord of pantheistic Deism. The Mayan Calendar's grand, and final, 2012 alignment coincides with and rigidly measures the unyielding spirit, will, and personal manifestation, emergence, and revelation of true Satan - as Myself, Author. Decoded and proven in its entirety; with the ultimate fruits of all knowledge and illumination - revealed in THE SATANIC BIBLE. Speak of the devil, and He will appear... here. ... Proven by the fact that "Zero is the placeholder for Existence itself." SATAN, in sum, is the historical negation of all - even a negation; hence, Existence existing, relative to us, as such a Zero; the Mayan Calendar's ultimate center and end: 0 A.D. NOW. Anagram, am I? Mr. A., again! Or Ram, the Arm of Ra (if myths manage a say). ... The true scientific calendar, the Metric Calendar, begins in 1200 A.D. When zero was first developed by the mathematician Fibonacci; true zero hour. Lack of recognition of this is the source of all the woes in the modern world, ill-adapted to handle reality. Proof: By the time zero was fully accepted, the printing press was also developed, and systematized history began, with the simultaneous end of the medieval period and the dark ages; coinciding with the Magna Carta - or rule of law (1215). Before and after are indeed - and + respectively. No Jesus officially, in other words. The Metric Calendar could also be called the Golden Calendar, as Fibonacci also discovered the Golden Ratio, or Natural Mean of progress. The sun never sets on it.

Poor Man's Air Force: A guide to how small drones might be used in domestic unrest or low intensity conflicts by Don Shift (22 Reviews)    Price verified 10 minutes ago

Drones, or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), are changing the tactical landscape of warfare. The use of drones in conflicts has the potential to alter centuries of ground warfare in the same way as disruptive technologies like smokeless powder, the repeating firearm, tanks, and radios did in the past. Not just a rhetorical discussion of drone warfare, this book looks at practical usage by the prepared citizen, partisan, and soldier. In 2022, Ukrainian use of modified consumer-grade drones for attack surprised the world who had only really seen them used in intelligence, reconnaissance, and surveillance roles. Lurid videos of grenades being dropped on unaware troops heralds a terrifying new reality in warfare: the poor man's air force. Unmanned aerial systems (UAS) are bringing an aerial observation and attack capacity to forces, large and small, that have never had such an advantage before. From warfare, to terrorism, and even self-defense, we have only seen the cusp of what drones can do. Quadcopters have taken aerial hunting and attacks out of the domain of scout helicopters and delivered it to the squad and individual level. In future conflicts, be they full-scale international wars, civil wars, or domestic unrest, use of drones will be commonplace. Their ease of use will make killing easier, enabling those who cannot or would not be soldiers or insurgents to participate in violence. Drones are a new threat as IEDs were and will be used in similar ways to both sniper attacks and bombings against civilian, military, and government targets. Thanks to their inherent intelligence gathering nature and developing attack capabilities, drones have the ability to level the playing field or dramatically tilt in favor of the side with aerial assets. In a civil conflict or during the aftermath of a major destabilizing event, drones will play a huge part in both self-defense and any violence. Proliferation of small unmanned aerial systems will occur rapidly, so their ...

Macroeconomics, Agriculture, and Food Security: A Guide to Policy Analysis in Developing Countries by Eugenio Díaz-Bonilla (3 Reviews)    Price verified one hour ago

Why write a book on macroeconomic policies and their links to agriculture and food security in developing countries? The food price spikes of the years just prior to 2010 and the economic, political, and social dislocations they generated refocused the attention of policymakers and development practitioners on the agricultural sector and food security concerns. But even without those traumatic events, the importance of agriculture for developing countries -- and for an adequate functioning of the world economy -- cannot be denied. First, although declining over time, primary agriculture still represents important percentages of developing countries' overall domestic production, exports, and employment. If agroindustrial, transportation, commercial, and other related activities are also counted, then the economic and social importance of agriculture-based sectors increases significantly. Furthermore, large numbers of the world's poor still live in rural areas and work in agriculture. Through the links via production, trade, employment, and prices, agricultural production is also crucial for national food security. Second, it has been shown that agriculture in developing countries has important growth and employment multipliers for the rest of the economy, and agriculture seems to have larger positive effects in reducing poverty than growth in other sectors. Third, agriculture is not only important for individual developing countries, but it has global significance, considering the large presence of developing countries in world agricultural production and the increasing participation in international trade of those products (these three points will be covered in greater detail in Chapter 1).

Two Years Before the Mast by Richard Henry Dana (563 Reviews)    Price verified 6 hours ago

In this nineteenth-century nautical memoir, a Harvard man sails around the tip of South America to California -- and returns with this classic tale of adventure. In 1834, nineteen-year-old Richard Henry Dana left Harvard University to enlist as a deckhand on a brig sailing from Boston to the California coast. For the next two years, he recorded the terrifying storms, awe-inspiring beauty, and dreadful hardships of the journey in a diary he would later expand into this riveting memoir of "the life of a common sailor at sea as it really is." Dana spares no detail in portraying the wretched conditions he endured and the cruelty of the ship's captain, but he also paints vivid, unforgettable pictures of natural wonders such as icebergs and schools of migrating whales. His descriptions of the missions and presidios of pre-Gold Rush California captured the imagination of the country when the book was first published in 1840, and they serve as valuable historical documentation to this day. An instant classic and inspiration for contemporaries such as Herman Melville, Two Years Before the Mast is one of the most remarkable and influential adventure stories in American literature.

Living in a Nuclear World: From Fukushima to Hiroshima (History and Philosophy of Technoscience) by Bernadette Bensaude-Vincent (Routledge) Price verified 41 minutes ago

The Fukushima disaster invites us to look back and probe how nuclear technology has shaped the world we live in, and how we have come to live with it. Since the first nuclear detonation (Trinity test) and the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, all in 1945, nuclear technology has profoundly affected world history and geopolitics, as well as our daily life and natural world. It has always been an instrument for national security, a marker of national sovereignty, a site of technological innovation and a promise of energy abundance. It has also introduced permanent pollution and the age of the Anthropocene. This volume presents a new perspective on nuclear history and politics by focusing on four interconnected themes-violence and survival; control and containment; normalizing through denial and presumptions; memories and futures-and exploring their relationships and consequences. It proposes an original reflection on nuclear technology from a long-term, comparative and transnational perspective. It brings together contributions from researchers from different disciplines (anthropology, history, STS) and countries (US, France, Japan) on a variety of local, national and transnational subjects. Finally, this book offers an important and valuable insight into other global and Anthropocene challenges such as climate change.

What's Breath Got to Do With it: Synchronizing breathing with being by Offer Dan (1 Review)    Price verified 10 minutes ago

For your information You can find on the internet and download the complete eBook for free. Those who "laugh last" are the ones who postpone the last breath and breathe well until the day comes. My mom practiced Yoga and was a breathwork instructor. I started juggling my breath at the age of nine. Five decades later, I decided to write about my methods, personal experiences, and intimate memoirs, sharing my insights. The book is a culmination of persistent knowledge-seeking guided by science and cross-examined by personal observations; the approach sidesteps from the trodden path in presentation and interpretation. Even though Air is light, the subject of breathing can be heavy, burdened with myths and mystic words. I aim to simplify tangled topics yet deeply penetrate the matters discussed. The added humor should assist in digesting the fiber of understanding respiration. Here's a summary of what's covered: • Basic explanations of the biology and chemistry of breathing. • Indications to assess personal effects of different breathing practices. • Practical ways to evaluate an individual's breathing profile. • Breathing exercises for physical and mental wellness. • Breathing tools for responding to immediate situations. Chances are my breathing practices will affect you differently than they affect me. Therefore, I intend to provide you with the know-hows and ways to tweak my practices so they may better suit you as an individual. Along the way, I will answer many questions like the ones below. • Why do traumatic events register differently when screaming out as opposed to holding the breath? • How can synchronizing smiles with inhaling augment the effect of breathing exercises? • How can video recordings of night sleeping make mouth-taping redundant? • How does a 'breathing clock' improve body language synchronization when speaking to an audience? • How does 'Dying man's breathing' assist in overcoming cravings? • How can the ...

Twilight Zone Reflections is the first book of its kind to explore the entirety of The Twilight Zone (1959-1964) as a series. It acts as both an introduction to the field of philosophy and as a complete guide to the philosophical issues illustrated throughout the original 1959-64 television series. Author Saul Traiger explores each of the 156 episodes, investigating the show's themes in metaphysics, epistemology, moral and political philosophy, and other topics in a way that is accessible to both seasoned philosophers and those outside academia. Each short chapter dives into a single episode and concludes with helpful cross-references to other episodes that explore similar philosophical problems and subjects. For example, a reader may be interested in questions about the nature of the mind and whether machines can think. By referencing this book, they could easily discover the thematic connections between episodes like "I Sing the Body Electric" or "The Lateness of the Hour," and learn how both episodes introduce the viewer to possible worlds that challenge us to consider whether our idea of the mind, and even our very personhood, extends beyond the human to robots and other artificial intelligences. Each chapter introduces fundamental philosophical questions such as these through the lens of The Twilight Zone and inspires additional exploration. Further readings are suggested for all episodes, making this volume indispensable to academics, students, and fans of the show. Each chapter is short and accessible, ensuring that this book is the perfect resource to accompany a complete series re-watch. The Twilight Zone considered questions that strike at the heart of philosophical inquiry, such as the nature of self, the existence of god, the possibility of an afterlife, the relationship between knowledge and mental illness, the nature of possibility, even the nature of imagination itself, and so much more. Traiger argues that each episode can serve as an entry ...

Environmental Knowledge, Race, and African American Literature (Literatures, Cultures, and the Environment) by Matthias Klestil (Palgrave Macmillan) (1 Review)    Price verified 3 hours ago

This open access book suggests new ways of reading nineteenth-century African American literature environmentally. Combining insights from ecocriticism, African American studies, and Foucauldian theory, Matthias Klestil examines forms of environmental knowledge in African American writing ranging from antebellum slave narratives and pamphlets to Charlotte Forten's journals, Booker T. Washington's autobiographies, and Charles W. Chesnutt's short fiction. The volume highlights how literary forms of environmental knowledge in the African American tradition were shaped by the histories of slavery and race, mainstream environmental writing traditions, and African American forms of expression and intertextuality. Turning to the Underground Railroad, debates over education and home-building, and the aesthetics of the pastoral and the georgic, Environmental Knowledge, Race, and African American Literature provides an original perspective on the African American ecoliterary traditionthat uncovers new facets of canonical and understudied texts and offers new directions for ecocriticism and African American studies.

West African Agriculture and Climate Change by Abdulai Jalloh (International Food Policy Research Institute) (4 Reviews)    Price verified 41 minutes ago

The first of three books in IFPRI's climate change in Africa series, West African Agriculture and Climate Change: A Comprehensive Analysis examines the food security threats facing 11 of the countries that make up West Africa -- Benin, Burkina Faso, Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana, Guinea, Liberia, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal, Sierra Leone, and Togo -- and explores how climate change will increase the efforts needed to achieve sustainable food security throughout the region. West Africa's population is expected to grow at least through mid-century. The region will also see income growth. Both will put increased pressure on the natural resources needed to produce food, and climate change makes the challenges greater. West Africa is already experiencing rising temperatures, shifting precipitation patterns, and increasing extreme events. Without attention to adaptation, the poor will suffer. Through the use of hundreds of scenario maps, models, figures, and detailed analysis, the editors and contributors of West African Agriculture and Climate Change present plausible future scenarios that combine economic and biophysical characteristics to explore the possible consequences for agriculture, food security, and resources management to 2050. They also offer recommendations to national governments and regional economic agencies already dealing with the vulnerabilities of climate change and deviations in environment. Decisionmakers and researchers will find West African Agriculture and Climate Change a vital tool for shaping policy and studying the various and likely consequences of climate change.

Work Wife Balance (Kate King Series Book 1) by Jo Edwards (700 Reviews)    Price verified 6 hours ago

'This is well-written, very funny and I raced through it, occasionally squealing in horror at the antics of Kate's colleagues. It's also a joy to read about a strong woman with a big job and fiery opinions, a nice antidote to the sugary sweet sort of chick lit.' DAILY MAIL Kate King is furiously flailing to keep afloat. As her team bicker, finger-point and cheat their way through rumours of sackings and site closures, her ill-tempered husband is becoming increasingly embittered and secretive. Kate knows she must address his petulant question: "Surely there's more to life than this?" but all her energies are required to dodge the corporate bullets constantly fired in her direction. Under pressure from an attractive, younger colleague, Kate is also concerned by her sudden invisibility to the opposite sex and the alarming appearance of back fat. Disturbingly, beige knitwear has started to call to her from the shelves of M&S. Growing more and more suspicious of her husband's activities, pressure builds on Kate both at work and at home until her turbulent year reaches its climactic end. Can she continue to balance precariously between work and marriage, or is one end of the scales going to hit the ground with a resounding thud?
