After moving from one slum living condition to another and attending nineteen different schools as a youngster, author Jeff M. Maritz received a gift from the heavens. At age seventeen, he was ordered to report for duty in the African Armys armored division on January 7, 1974. It provided an opportunity to escape a hellish childhood and family situation and an opportunity to experience his majestic Africa. In Katima, he offers a first-person look inside army life in South Africa, examining the challenges and rewards of life in the military there. After Maritz completed basic training, he became a Panzer-vehicle gunner. In the mid-seventies, the central part of Africa was in turmoil, and Angola was close to civil war. He was called up two times to serve in the South African forces, protecting the grand African folk of Southwest Africa, now known as Namibia. Sharing experiences that changed his life forever, including a close encounter with death, Maritz describes the magical moments throughout his journey in Katima Malilu, Caprivi Strip, Angola, and beyond.

Pages : 278
Book Description
A cross between Michael Pollan’s Food Rules and Adam Richman’s Food vs. Man, Raw Extreme Manifesto is one man’s journey into raw food extremism. With sensible tips, simple recipes, rules, and most importantly, results, Fred Ho’s book tells you everything you need to know about going totally raw—without spending all your money on expensive juicers or fancy groceries. Driven by a desire to become healthier and solve a myriad of health issues, Fred Ho begins his journey into raw food extremism, overcoming his skepticism by resisting the psychological matrix of dependency and addiction to cooked and industrial food production; by developing a small community circle of raw food enthusiasts (Raw Fight Club) seeking to solve a variety of ailments and maladies (diabetes, asthma, hypertension, obesity, and even multiple sclerosis and cancer); by opposing the hyper-marketing of “raw chic” (going raw is often affordable only to the affluent); and by devising a raw food commitment that spends almost no money. After just two weeks, he feels extraordinary results. Much more than twenty-five original recipes and tips about going raw and staying raw, this is an indispensable handbook for everyone who ever wondered if they have what it takes to change their lives and ultimately their society for the better. In the author’s own words about Raw Fight Club: “we make raw food dishes, share ideas, talk politics, and come up with strategies to change the world!”

Government Confronts Culture
Author: Bruce Fuller
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1135580030
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 357
Book Description
Transitional societies—struggling to build democratic institutions and new political traditions—are faced with a painful dilemma. How can Government become strong and effective, building a common good that unites disparate ethnic and class groups, while simultaneously nurturing democratic social rules at the grassroots? Professor Fuller brings this issue to light in the contentious, multicultural setting of Southern Africa. Post-apartheid states, like South Africa and Namibia, are pushing hard to raise school quality, reduce family poverty, and equalize gender relations inside villages and townships. But will democratic participation blossom at the grassroots as long as strong central states—so necessary for defining the common good—push universal policies onto diverse local communities? This book builds from a decade of family surveys and qualitative village studies led by Professor Fuller at Harvard University and African colleagues inside Botswana, Namibia, and South Africa.
