The Split Time
Author: Nimi Wariboko
Publisher: State University of New York Press
ISBN: 1438489803
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 314
Book Description
The quest for economic development is arguably the most frustrating and tragic dimension of human existence in Africa. As its primary task, The Split Time constructs an economic philosophy from a tradition of thought that is indigenous to Africa, arguing that there are long-neglected resources within African philosophy to guide economic policymakers toward creating an African economy that can sustain human flourishing. Exploring notions of destiny, temporality, and desire, Nimi Wariboko constructs an economic-philosophical framework to rethink solutions to the vexing problem of economic development in Africa. He also provides a robust social-ethical perspective in which the basic aspects of economic life—the agential (accounts of human agency, telos), the circumstantial (material/social context), and the affective (to feel appropriately what matters to a people in an economy or their desire for human flourishing)—come together to fire social imagination about development policies for the common good.

The Time of Our Singing
Author: Richard Powers

ISBN: 0374706417
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 642
Book Description
“The last novel where I rooted for every character, and the last to make me cry.” - Marlon James, Elle From the Pulitzer Prize–winning author of The Overstory and the Oprah's Book Club selection Bewilderment comes Richard Powers's magnificent, multifaceted novel about a supremely gifted—and divided—family, set against the backdrop of postwar America. On Easter day, 1939, at Marian Anderson’s epochal concert on the Washington Mall, David Strom, a German Jewish émigré scientist, meets Delia Daley, a young Black Philadelphian studying to be a singer. Their mutual love of music draws them together, and—against all odds and their better judgment—they marry. They vow to raise their children beyond time, beyond identity, steeped only in song. Jonah, Joseph, and Ruth grow up, however, during the civil rights era, coming of age in the violent 1960s, and living out adulthood in the racially retrenched late century. Jonah, the eldest, “whose voice could make heads of state repent,” follows a life in his parents’ beloved classical music. Ruth, the youngest, devotes herself to community activism and repudiates the white culture her brother represents. Joseph, the middle child and the narrator of this generation-bridging tale, struggles to find himself and remain connected to them both. Richard Powers's The Time of Our Singing is a story of self-invention, allegiance, race, cultural ownership, the compromised power of music, and the tangled loops of time that rewrite all belonging.

Actual Proof of My Existence Signed

Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 249
Book Description
This book is designed to show some of the strongest proof that the scriptures are the inspired 'Word of God' and do it in the most simple way. The book starts out by showing about 18 Psalms that accurately predicted all of the major events of the 20th century by landing in the Psalm number that is the same year of the event, some even on the correct verse numbers of the month also! The Psalms are the 19th book of the Bible so Psalm 46 becomes 1946 with "He makes wars to cease" one year after 1945 and WWII. Psalm 87 as(1987) Saddam Hussein's month long (Babylonian) party with musicians invited from all over the world where Babylon is mentioned in Psalm 87:4 "I will make mention of Rahab and (Babylon); Psalm 87:7 with "As well the singers as the players on instruments shall be there." Other events predicted events are the Y2K problem of 1999 in Psalm 99:8 "thou tookest vengeance of their (inventions)"; the WTC attack, El Nino, Gulf War, and on and on, even future events are explored. Psalm 103 as 2003 talks about the "eagles" and those that are "oppressed" just like America the eagles setiing the oppressed free in Operation Iraqi Freedom. This book also shows that all of our modern day science 'constants' are encoded in the Psalms by a 'key phrase' in the Psalm of the same number. Psalm 19 electricity(heat sun, circuit), Psalm 27 light and 10^-27 power is a photon of light, Psalm 29 creation fire, Psalm 31 "speedy" electron and the "net", Psalm 38 "heavy" gravity and on up to 23 Psalms, not one misses! This book goes deep into the "Tabernacle of Moses", and the "Ark of the Covenant" showing that these Bible structures are actual models of modern day science. This book shows upwards of 600 key scriptures where the verse numbers equal the meaning of the verse. There is much more in the book as well as these subjects about the Bible's numbers. The book is guaranteed to please and show 'powerful' proof that the scriptures are the inspired Word of God, because this is a book of facts not speculation. All of modern day history and science will unravel from the Psalms in just the first 2 chapters alone, all landing on the correct verse numbers! Imagine playing a lotto where you have to get 40 numbers correct out of 150 numbers on the first try, because this is what the Psalms did 3,000 years ago! The odds are about 10^40th power to 1 (40 zeroes) that all of the proper "key expressions" keep landing in the Psalm of the same number as the year or a science constant number. I know that you will enjoy the book and be blown away by the '"proof". Don Christie

A Walk Through Time

Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
Who would have ever thought that a stroll back through ones childhood neighborhood would have opened the door to the very real existence of another realm of life hidden behind the scenes of our lives? Thats exactly what happened as I walked back to visit the simplicity of yesterday, only to face again what I thought was the great dichotomy of today. On that ordinary park bench, on that not-so-long-ago morning, my life was forever transformed. For it was there that the unveiling of a connection to a phenomenal power and supernatural ability took me on a journey into incredible insights, powers, and the miraculous healing that exists in the center of all mankind. And it was also there that I first encountered the Voice. I was shown the purpose of time and the great secret it holds. Visions and songs and strangers revealed insights that kept taking me further into the great ascending truth thats been hidden in the midst of us the whole time. Dreams became avenues of incredible wisdom. Laughter and tears carried me through realms of experiences. This is the very thing weve been looking for throughout all of our existence. As the journey comes full circle, any mysteries of life fade into the simplicity thats been revealed and that has been with us the whole entire time. This is meant to be our home, and now we know it.
