Описание: 5/5 No Compromise is an African centered perspective on solving the x factor in the human equation: 3/5 slave + x = 5/5 whole human beings, for Black Americans, specifically, and Black people world wide in general. The book written by Jeff Weaver, is inspired and driven by the divine wisdom of Almighty God, the African Forces (Lwa, Orisa, Obosum) / Holy Spirit and the ancestors. The premise of 5/5 No Compromise is to establish the fact that: 1) The United States Constitution codified the value of Black lives, in Article I. Section 2, Chapter 3 (more popularly known as the "3/5 Clause") as "3/5 of a person". A codification which has never been, expressly, amended or eradicated; and 2) in order for Black victims of the trans Atlantic slave trade, white supremacy and colonialism to establish their genuine human status they must embrace their own traditions, customs and culture, in an autonomous mutual respect based co-existence with their former slave masters and governors. Furthermore, in order to connect the various "splinters" of Black sub-cultures that exist in the US and globally, there must be an establishment of the one cultural thread that exist in common with the genetic heredity of the people in question. For Black Americans and Black people, worldwide, that common cultural thread is the drum pulse which originated in Africa. It is the one cultural element that is powerful and consistent, wherever Black people are heavily populated in the world. The author, Jeff Weaver calls that thread, "drum centered culture" and has identified it as the key element in sowing together the global cultural fabric that will restore Black people to a 5/5 autonomous culture of thriving human beings, with lives that matter.

Описание: "Birth of a Dream Weaver" charts the very beginnings of a writer s creative output. In this wonderful memoir, Kenyan writer Ngugi wa Thiong o recounts the four years he spent in Makerere University in Kampala, Uganda threshold years where he found his voice as a playwright, journalist, and novelist, just as Uganda, Kenya, Congo, and other countries were in the final throes of their independence struggles.
James Ngugi, as he was known then, is haunted by the emergency period of the previous decade in Kenya, when his friends and relatives were killed during the Mau Mau Rebellion. He is also haunted by the experience of his childhood in a polygamous family and the brave break his mother made from his father s home. Accompanied by these ghosts, Ngugi begins to weave stories from the fibers of memory, history, and a shockingly vibrant and turbulent present.
What unfolds in this moving and thought-provoking memoir is both the birth of one of the most important living writers lauded for his epic imagination ("Los Angeles Times") and the death of one of the most violent episodes in global history.

Описание: Higher education is coming under increasing scrutiny, both publically and within academia, with respect to its ability to appropriately prepare students for the careers that will make them competitive in the 21st-century workplace. At the same time, there is a growing awareness that many global issues will require creative and critical thinking deeply rooted in the technical STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) disciplines. However, the existing and ingrained structures of higher education, particularly in the STEM fields, are not set up to provide students with extensive skill development in communication, teamwork, and divergent thinking, which is needed for success in the knowledge economy.In 2011 and again in 2014, an international conference was convened to bring together university leaders, educational policymakers and researchers, and funding agency representatives to discuss the issue of institutional transformation in higher education, particularly in the STEM disciplines. Central to the issue of institutional transformation is the ability to provide new forms of instruction so that students can gain the variety of skills and depth of knowledge they will need. However, radically altering approaches to instruction sets in motion a domino effect that touches on learning space design, instructional technology, faculty training and reward structures, course scheduling, and funding models. In order for one piece to move, there must be coordinated movement in the others, all of which are part of an entrenched and interconnected system.Transforming Institutions brings together chapters from the scholars and leaders who were part of the 2011 and 2014 conferences. It provides an overview of the context and challenges in STEM higher education, contributed chapters describing programs and research in this area, and a reflection and summary of the lessons from the many authors’ viewpoints, leading to suggested next steps in the path toward transformation.

Shortlisted for the Edgar Awards

Ashley Weaver's debut mystery, Murder at the Brightwell, is a delicious, stylish novel in which murder invades British polite society and romance springs in unexpected places, and a wonderful testament to the enduring delight of the traditional mystery.

"An elegant Christie-esque 1930s romp." --Deborah Crombie

"If you love Downton Abbey, you'll adore Ashley Weaver's charming debut."--Susan Elia MacNeal

"A witty and charming debut mystery with a believably spunky sleuth and a compelling story of love that never runs smoothly." --G.M. Malliet

"It's more terrible than you think, Mrs. Ames. It appears that Mr. Howe was murdered."

Amory Ames, a wealthy young woman questioning her marriage to her notoriously charming playboy husband, Milo, is looking for a change. She accepts a request for help from her former fianc , Gil Trent, not knowing that she'll soon become embroiled in a murder investigation that will not only test her friendship with Gil, but also will upset the status quo with her husband.

Amory accompanies Gil to the luxurious Brightwell Hotel in an attempt to circumvent the marriage of his sister, Emmeline, to Rupert Howe a disreputable ladies man. There is more than her happiness at stake, however, when Rupert is murdered and Gil is arrested for the crime. Matters are further complicated by Milo's unexpected arrival, and as the line between friend and foe becomes less clear, Amory must decide where her heart lies and catch the killer before she, too, becomes a victim.
