Book Description
As the author of The Imminent Rise of West Africa, published in 2015, I had the epiphany to write this second book. Immediately, the opportunity arrived. I foresaw the moral imperative and audaciously quantum stepped ahead and developed the duplex leadership and the authoritative capacity and courage to pinpoint the appreciable design of the postmodern twenty-first century massive and smarter commanding, empire-building institution, as they relate to the creation of the new postmodern twenty-first century innovative educational economic blueprint. Besides, as the postmodern twenty-first-century African thinker, transformative entrepreneurial evangelist, and a smarter, industrious, commanding, empire-building institutionalist, my optimum and passionate intent is to revolutionary awaken the future West African superstate regionalism and the future African superb continental economic powerhouse to solidify the impeccable rise of the African bottom billion’s economic empire. Globally, the African region is the fastest, overpowering population growth in the world and will still be the largest by the end of this century. The book boldly elaborates the emerging economic-wheel revolution, the new formidable economic structural blueprint for deliberately engineered-route to the on-demand economy and on-demand labor and immediate engagement and enlargement of the service economy in a massive scale and efficiently be able to accommodate the huge rise of the population growth in the West African region and Africa. Conventionally, in the realm of humanity, it takes an unbelievable, tremendous energetic capacity to push the human race forward. It demands a powerfully stronger force. Apparently, the individual-current nations alone in the West African region and Africa are not standardized utility for this astronomical, ambitious, and adventurous humankind undertaking; each lacks the kind of postmodern twenty-first century’s marvelous strength or capability to fuel the new necessary economic revolutionary order. However, the individual-current structural nation-states in West Africa and Africa are the preliminary stage for preparing the incarnation of a massive and smarter industrious commanding, empire-building institution for every corner of African society. It is an architectural manipulation of the economic living standard of humanity.

The Sleeping Giant Awakens
Author: David B. MacDonald
Publisher: University of Toronto Press
ISBN: 1487518056
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 253
Book Description
Confronting the truths of Canada’s Indian residential school system has been likened to waking a sleeping giant. In The Sleeping Giant Awakens, David B. MacDonald uses genocide as an analytical tool to better understand Canada’s past and present relationships between settlers and Indigenous peoples. Starting with a discussion of how genocide is defined in domestic and international law, the book applies the concept to the forced transfer of Indigenous children to residential schools and the "Sixties Scoop," in which Indigenous children were taken from their communities and placed in foster homes or adopted. Based on archival research, extensive interviews with residential school Survivors, and officials at the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada, among others, The Sleeping Giant Awakens offers a unique and timely perspective on the prospects for conciliation after genocide, exploring the difficulties in moving forward in a context where many settlers know little of the residential schools and ongoing legacies of colonization and need to have a better conception of Indigenous rights. It provides a detailed analysis of how the TRC approached genocide in its deliberations and in its Final Report. Crucially, MacDonald engages critics who argue that the term genocide impedes understanding of the IRS system and imperils prospects for conciliation. By contrast, this book sees genocide recognition as an important basis for meaningful discussions of how to engage Indigenous-settler relations in respectful and proactive ways.

Deming's Profound Changes
Author: Kenneth T. Delavigne
Publisher: Prentice Hall
ISBN:
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 308
Book Description
Increasingly, the demise of many businesses and organizations is being blamed on current western management practice--which can be traced directly back to the 19th century and Frederick Taylor's theory of scientific management. Although W. Edwards Deming proposed a new, more modern philosophy of management decades ago, the western world, instead, continued to practice Taylor's philosophy--by now adulterated and corrupted many times over into a new form of its own (neo-Taylorism). This volume explores--in depth--neo-Taylorism (where it came from and what its beliefs are), Deming's philosophy (his system of profound knowledge and his 14 points), and suggests how Deming's philosophy--if adopted--could be an antidote for today's managerial ineffectiveness. Shows organization and technical managers how to change--using Deming's principles--in order to improve quality in delivered services and products and in employee satisfaction. Analyzes the flaws of Taylorism and Neo-Taylorism-- with point-by-point comparison with Deming's philosophy. Clearly explains the Deming quality philosophy from a conceptual framework that can then be applied (rather than from a recipe or case study format, which has proven to be ineffective). For Executive and Technical Managers (all industries); Quality Managers and Practitioners; Quality, Productivity, Organizational Development Consultants.

The Rise of China
Author: Thomas Waites
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781520700236
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 507
Book Description
This science fiction novel uses historical antecedents to project a future scenario where China becomes the world's new superpower. In the years 2020 and 2021, they conquer most of Europe and they take over several U.S. Western States. They invent two terrible weapons that are used in their European campaign. The laser qiang is the world's first practical laser gun that proves devastating to the Austrian/German forces at the Bad Deutsch Altenburg Bridge. The shengbo, a weapon using infrasound, is even more horrible than the laser qiang. It is the decisive weapon enabling the Chinese forces to defeat the redoubtable Franco/Anglo forces defending France.The United States, in an attempt to free Europe from Chinese occupation, blockades China's entire eastern seaboard in hopes that her troops in Europe, without support from mainland China, will wither and die on the vine. In a fierce battle in the Yellow Sea, the U.S. Naval forces destroy the entire Chinese northern fleet. They also destroy China's eastern fleet. However, the Chinese manage to break free of the blockade in the South China Sea and they launch over 2,000 ultra large container ships, with millions of soldiers, to invade the western United States. Over seven million Chinese soldiers, split into three armies, begin their attack on the Western U.S. using Mexican territory for their bold and massive invasion. The U.S. fights back and there are terrible losses on both sides in the battles of Phoenix, El Paso and San Diego.Holed up in Mount Weather Virginia, the U.S. Government is in disarray. These terrible losses to the Chinese army have shaken U.S. confidence. The U.S. has always believed its armed forces are simply the best in the world, incapable of being defeated, especially on its own turf. During this crisis, the brave but seriously flawed General Johnson, orchestrates the first bloodless coup. President Mary Higgins, along with Admiral Nagamaza, Admiral Lemur and reporter Frank Weiss are locked up in the Mount Weather brigantine. Vice President Thomas is the new President but he is only a puppet of General Johnson who holds the real power. Six main characters are swept up in these epic events. Jack Lemur is a handsome and brash naval aviator. Having lived in China as a child, he is fluent in Mandarin. Akira Nagamaza, a third-generation Japanese-American is a brilliant scientist and Fleet Commander of U.S. Naval forces who destroys most of China's naval forces. He and Jack are favorites of President Higgins. Beautiful, intelligent and ambitious, Mary Higgins, despite great hardship in her youth, becomes the first woman President. She saves the U.S. from the brink of nuclear war. Frank Johnson is fearless and a patriotic American, but he is seriously flawed. This psychologically unstable army general leads the U.S. close to the brink of nuclear Armageddon. Wang Baoshan, the brave and heroic leader of China's naval forces, is the grandson of the famous naval aviator Wang Hai. Despite great losses, he goes toe-to-toe with the formidable American Navy. Zhao Tianhui, a brilliant strategist, follows the precepts of Sun Tzu to win startling victories over supposedly superior enemy forces. Zhao attended the National Defense University where he became proficient in English and mastered American military strategies.

Urban Planning in Lusophone African Countries
Author: Carlos Nunes Silva
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317003616
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 258
Book Description
Urban planning on the five Lusophone African countries - Angola, Cape Verde, Guinea-Bissau, Mozambique, and Sao Tome and Príncipe - has so far been relatively overlooked in planning literature. Bringing together a team of leading scholars, this book fills the gap by providing an in-depth analysis of key issues in the history of urban planning and discussing the key challenges confronting contemporary urban planning in these countries. The book argues that urban planning is a non-neutral and non-value free kind of public action and, therefore, ideology, planning theories, urban models and the ideological role urban planning has played are some of the key issues addressed. For that reason, the practice of Urban Planning is also seen as the outcome of a complex interrelationship between structure and agency, with the role of key planers being examined in some of the chapters. The findings and insights presented by the contributing authors confirm previous research on urban planning in the colonial and postcolonial periods in Lusophone African countries and at the same time break fresh ground and offer additional insights as new evidence has been collected from archives and in fieldwork carried out by a new generation of researchers. In addition, it outlines possible directions for future research.
