Equality Before the Law: Explore the critical principle of equality before the law, a cornerstone of justice that empowers every citizen, regardless of their background or social standing, to hold the government and its institutions accountable. Learn how state-sanctioned discrimination—whether based on gender or race—undermines this principle and threatens the future of South Africa's children. A Call to Action: "Goliath's Reckoning" is more than a memoir; it is a call to action for all those who have felt powerless against a biased system. The author challenges readers to stand up for what is right, using the power of personal agency and the guiding light of the Constitution to create a fair and just society. Why This Book Matters: In a world where justice and equality are often compromised by well-intentioned but flawed redress policies, this book shines a light on the urgent need for reform. The author argues that true equality before the law must be restored to protect the best interests of the child and ensure that every parent, including fathers, has the opportunity to play an active and nurturing role in their child's life. Who Should Read This Book: Fathers and Parents: Seeking to understand their rights and navigate the family court system. Legal Professionals: Interested in the impact of gender biases in family law.

Opening Goliath
Author: Cary J. Griffith
Publisher: Borealis Books
ISBN: 0873518306
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
Narrow passages, twisting upward or dropping precipitously. Huge vaults filled with fantastic shapes. Tunnels twined in tangled mazes. Over centuries, underground rivers can carve holes and rooms in solid rock; drips of water build walls of stone. Natural caves shape another world beneath our feet. Dangerous and beautiful, these places remain unknown--until someone decides to investigate. In 2004, businessman and caver John Ackerman drilled an entryway into Goliath Cave, a huge and unexplored complex in the karst region of southeastern Minnesota. Squeezing through tiny openings, scuba diving through silt-filled waters, scaling walls, and traversing crevasses, he and his fellow cavers painstakingly mapped ever-further reaches of the complex in an exploration that continues to this day. But man-made caves that do not breathe can be even more dangerous than their natural cousins. In St. Paul, also in 2004, five teenagers entered an area where intermittent fires robbed the air of oxygen. Only two emerged alive.

Making David into Goliath
Author: Joshua Muravchik
Publisher: Encounter Books
ISBN: 1594038465
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 321
Book Description
During the Six-Day War of 1967, polls showed that Americans favored the Israelis over the Arabs by overwhelming margins. In Europe, support for Israel ran even higher. In the United Nations Security Council, a British resolution essentially gave Israel the terms of peace it sought, and when the Arabs and their Soviet supporters tried to override the resolution in the General Assembly, they fell short of the necessary votes. Fast forward 40 years and Israel has become perhaps the most reviled country in the world. Although Americans have remained constant in their sympathy for the Jewish state, almost all of the rest of the world treats Israel as a pariah. What caused this remarkable turnabout? Making David into Goliath traces the process by which material pressures and intellectual fashions reshaped world opinion of Israel. Initially, terrorism, oil blackmail, and the sheer size of Arab and Muslim populations gave the world powerful inducements to back the Arab cause. Then, a prevalent new paradigm of “social justice,” in which class conflict was supplanted by the noble struggles of people of color, created a lexicon of rationales for taking sides against Israel. Thus, nations can behave cravenly while striking a high-minded pose in aligning themselves on the Middle East conflict.

Finding Goliath and Fred
Author: Sandra E. McBride
Publisher: Dog Ear Publishing
ISBN: 1598588788
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 82
Book Description
Tensions are high in the beautiful valley of the Hudson River below the village of Saratoga in the hot and steamy summer of 1777. A large army commanded by the British general, John Burgoyne, is approaching from the north, and an army of patriots is gathering just to the south, determined to block their path. Annie Blair's family and their neighbors, both patriot and Tory, are caught squarely in the path of a conflict about to ignite. On a moonlit August night, Annie sees Liam Ratch, her Tory neighbor, steal her family's team of oxen, Goliath and Fred, right out of their pen. When her brother Josiah's duties as a militiaman getting ready for the coming fight make it impossible for him to search for the oxen, getting them back becomes Annie's quest. With her friend John's help, she sets out to do just that. The adventure on which Annie and John embark finding Goliath and Fred is filled with danger. When they do find them, Annie will quickly learn that not all victims of war are in uniform, and not all people on the other side are enemies. SANDRA E. MCBRIDE grew up just 15 miles from the Saratoga National Historical Park where the Continental Army under General Horatio Gates made its courageous stand against British General John Burgoyne and his troops at the Battles of Saratoga in September and October of 1777. As a child, she often played with her sister and her cousins on the very ground once fortified by Continental soldiers. With a lifelong interest in American history, Sandra often writes about the Revolutionary War and Civil War eras. Her short story, The Enemy, also based on the Battles of Saratoga, was published in the October, 2006 issue of Highlights for Children. A native of Mechanicville, New York, Sandra is also the author of Mist Upon the Pond, a collection of poetry "aimed squarely at the heartstrings, the bootstraps and the funny bone." Now retired, she continues to write poetry and fiction as well as feature articles for The Express, a local weekly newspaper.

The Case for Goliath
Author: Michael Mandelbaum
Publisher: PublicAffairs
ISBN: 078673468X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 321
Book Description
How does the United States use its enormous power in the world? In The Case for Goliath, Michael Mandelbaum offers a surprising answer: The United States furnishes to other countries the services that governments provide within the countries they govern. Mandelbaum explains how this role came about despite the fact that neither the United States nor any other country sought to establish it. He describes the contributions that American power makes to global security and prosperity, the shortcomings of American foreign policy, and how other countries have come to accept, resent, and exert influence on America's global role. And he assesses the prospects for the continuation of this role, which depends most importantly on whether the American public is willing to pay for it. Written with Mandelbaum's characteristic blend of clarity, wit, and profound understanding of America and the world, The Case for Goliath offers a fresh and surprising approach to an issue that obsesses citizens and policymakers the world over, as well as a major statement on the foreign policy issues confronting the American people today.

Delany and Station Eleven. In the 2050s, Earth has begun to empty. Those with the means and the privilege have departed the great cities of the United States for the more comfortable confines of space colonies.
