EL PARAÍSO ESTÁ BAJO LOS PIES DE LOS GOBIERNOS: DIRIGIENDO LAS NACIONES CON MAQASID (Spanish Edition) by Abdellatif Raji (Yaraak, LLC.) Price verified 9 minutes ago

Desentrañando el libro "El paraíso está bajo los pies de los gobiernos" emplea una sorprendente metáfora para describir la profunda responsabilidad y el potencial de los gobiernos para dar forma al bienestar de la sociedad. Esta frase resume poéticamente la idea de que así como la tierra nos sustenta físicamente, la buena gobernanza es la base que sostiene la estructura moral y ética de una sociedad. El libro explora la integración de Maqasid, un marco derivado de la jurisprudencia islámica, en la gobernanza moderna, argumentando que este enfoque puede conducir a una gestión social más ética, justa y humana. La Esencia (80/20) • Marco Maqasid: El núcleo del libro gira en torno al marco Maqasid, que prioriza la protección y el cumplimiento de intereses humanos esenciales como la vida, la religión, el intelecto, la progenie y la propiedad. Raji sugiere que los gobiernos pueden lograr una mejor gobernanza alineando las políticas con estos principios universales, que están inherentemente diseñados para promover una sociedad equilibrada y floreciente. • Gobernanza ética: Raji sostiene que la ausencia de una base ética en la gobernanza conduce a desigualdades e injusticias sociales. Al incorporar los principios Maqasid en la formulación de políticas, los líderes pueden fomentar un modelo de gobernanza que no sólo cumpla con los objetivos económicos y políticos sino que también mejore el bienestar espiritual y moral de la comunidad. • Perspectivas globales e históricas: el libro se basa en varios ejemplos globales y contextos históricos para ilustrar cómo ha sido beneficiosa la integración de valores espirituales en la gobernanza secular. Los ejemplos incluyen el sistema financiero islámico de Malasia y las políticas de conservación ambiental influenciadas por creencias indígenas en Nueva Zelanda, lo que muestra la aplicación práctica y los beneficios de este enfoque. El plan de acción • Adoptar Maqasid en la ...

American Epoch: and the indoctrination of America's youth by Charles Henry Vessey (1 Review)    Price verified 23 minutes ago

American Epoch is an adventure into American exceptionalism. How did America become an exceptional nation? What makes America different from the other nations in the world? Why do people flock to the United States when given the opportunity? If America is such a great place, why are people with nefarious motives attempting to transform this country? Who are these people and what are their ultimate objectives? These and so many other questions are answered between the covers of this book. This book commences with a shocking expose of the anti-American propaganda being taught in America's classrooms. We have witnessed the result of the indoctrination occurring in American classrooms through the actions of professional athletes who kneel for the playing of the national anthem. Regretfully, this is but a symptom of a larger problem for America. Recent polls have recorded results showing huge percentages of millennials believe that socialism or communism are preferred economic systems to capitalism. Similar numbers of millennials think free speech should not be available to those with whom they disagree. These ideas are the results of public education and should shock everyone who reads this book. The book segues into America exceptionalism. American Epoch presents empirical evidence of American exceptionalism and its roots in the freedom and liberty enshrined in the founding documents of this country. American Epoch demonstrates how America was in the vanguard of eliminating slavery and providing women's suffrage. The book investigates why the United States leads the world in so many aspects of society, however, the story does not end with America leading the world in so many categories of life. The United States has sacrificed both blood and treasure for freedom and liberty throughout the world. These topics are ignored in the world of academia. Abraham Lincoln said the following in his speech at the Young Men's Lyceum of Springfield, Illinois on January 27, ...

Funny God (Return to Grace Book 7) by Michael Adzema (10 Reviews)    Price verified 12 hours ago

FUNNY GOD: THE TAO OF FUNNY GOD AND THE MIND'S TRUE LIBERATION is a composition in three movements. It is activism, a prophecy, and a vision -- integrated by the idea of Funny God. "The Tao of Funny God" (Part One) unveils the necessary hero and understanding to face the imminent problems of humanity -- environmental, political, and social... issues of peace and war, planet and life. Lunar and solar theologies and the rise of the Goddess and its meaning are brought into focus. "Breaking News" (Part Two) is prophecy and good news framed as fiction... and some comedy. We see a coming together of heaven and earth unfold in the near future. With the pulling back of the curtain on the No-Form state of existence, brought about by very real near-death and death-death experiences, humanity finds itself on the brink of re-union with the rest of the consciousnesses of the Universe, which is revealed to be a Universe of Experience, shared. "The Mind's True Liberation" (Part Three) is vision -- philosophy, spirituality, and the answers to the questions and problems of Existence mixed with humor. It describes and elicits an attitude and understanding of life and action that is good-hearted, transcendent, and liberating. You will find yourself saying, "My God, that makes sense! Why have I never heard that before?" This book will leave you changed and smiling, at least. Some will taste enlightenment; others will sense liberation; and many will feel inspired and enthusiastic about participating in some of the grand and singular undertakings of our current age -- an age that Funny God reveals to be affording an opportunity for a life of fulfillment and wonder unlike any since the beginning of time. "these times are the coming together of heaven and earth... "we walk in realms of the mythical, the archetypal... "we are embraced by arms of Divinity... and find ourselves as fingers of God Herself... "we are the myths in motion... are witness to secrets of eternity finally ...

Problematic: The Psychology of Social Justice Fanaticism by Ryan Rogers (6 Reviews)    Price verified 6 hours ago

For most Americans it can be confusing the first time you hear that gardening is racist or that men can have babies. But most of us realize that to question these things would bring a world of trouble, so we keep our heads down and our mouths shut. This book delves into the psychology of social justice fanaticism, or as it more commonly called, Wokeness. In this book you will learn how Wokeness mimics several psychological disorders, such as OCD, paranoia, and borderline personality disorder. You will see the social psychology of how the Woke are able to unconsciously dismiss or ignore any information that fails to confirm their worldview. The social justice movement is compared to cults, conspiracy theories, and political fanaticism like communism. This ideology is perhaps most accurately compared to a religion, one where its adherents conduct their rituals loudly to let others know how much holier they are than the unbelievers. After reading this book you will gain a thorough breakdown of the Woke mindset which could help when interacting with such people in the future.

Environmental Knowledge, Race, and African American Literature (Literatures, Cultures, and the Environment) by Matthias Klestil (Palgrave Macmillan) (1 Review)    Price verified 6 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 10 hours 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.
