Download or read book Troubled Harvest written by Joseph Cotter and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2003-09-30 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the 20th century, two revolutions swept rural Mexico: the Mexican Revolution and the Green Revolution. In both, revolutionaries promised to address the problems of rural poverty and underdevelopment. The Mexican Revolution led to a significant agrarian reform and created the State and elite that governed Mexico since the 1920s. The Green Revolution helped increase Mexican agricultural production substantially, and in 1970 it won a Nobel Peace Prize for Norman Borlaug, who bred dwarf hybrid wheat. Mexican agronomists played significant roles in both revolutions, but neither revolution brought prosperity to peasant farmers. This book examines the history of Mexican agronomy and agronomists to shed new light on the role of science in the Mexican Revolution, the origins of the worldwide Green Revolution, and general issues about the nature of the professions, the impact of professionals' ties to politics and the state, and discourses between members of Mexico's urban middle class and peasantry. Cotter also analyzes the impact of foreign models of science in Mexico, the history of U.S.-Mexican cooperation in the agricultural sciences, and the factors that led Mexico to seek scientific assistance from the United States. In a broad way, he reveals new aspects of the ongoing struggle for the right to define modernity and progress in rural Mexico, and offers new explanations for the failure of many of the State's efforts to assist peasant farmers.
Download or read book Harvest of Gold written by Tessa Afshar and published by Moody Publishers. This book was released on 2013-06-15 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A hidden message, treachery, opposition, and a God-given success will lead to an unlikely bounty. In Harvest of Gold (Book 2), the scribe Sarah married Darius, and at times she feels as if she has married the Persian aristocracy, too. There is another point she did not count on in her marriage—Sarah has grown to love her husband. Sarah has wealth, property, honor, and power, but her husband’s love still seems unattainable. Although his mother was an Israelite, Darius remains skeptical that his Jewish wife is the right choice for him, particularly when she conspires with her cousin Nehemiah to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem. Ordered to assist in the effort, the couple begins a journey to the homeland of his mother’s people. Will the road filled with danger, conflict, and surprising memories, help Darius to see the hand of God at work in his life—and even in his marriage?
Download or read book Deadly Harvest written by Geoff Bond and published by Square One Publishers, Inc.. This book was released on 2007 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With an increasing number of people suffering from obesity, heart disease, and other diet-related disorders, many of us turn to fad diets in an effort to drop excess pounds or recover our health. But what if our foods were doing more harm than good, and fad diets made matters worse? Deadly Harvest examines how the foods we eat today have little in common with those of our ancestors, and why this fact is important to our health. It also offers a proven program to enhance health and improve longevity. Using the latest scientific research and studies of primitive lifestyles, the author first explains the diet that our ancestors followed--one in harmony with the human species. He then describes how our present diets affect our health, leading to disorders such as cancer, diabetes, heart disease, and more. Most important, he details measures we can take to improve our diet, our health, and our quality of life.
Download or read book Poised for Harvest Braced for Backlash written by Timothy Miller and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2009-08 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What are the true implications of the Holy Spirit backing up the gospel with power? What if you only had a short amount of time to train new disciples due to an outbreak of persecution? What would you need to deposit in a first round of disciples in order to catalyze a rapidly-expanding, New Testament-caliber movement whose adherents stay faithful to Jesus through trials and opposition? Drawing on his experiences in the Muslim world and other ministry contexts, Tim Miller examines these questions and more in Poised for Harvest, Braced for Backlash. "This book presents a strategy of mission that is far from new-it simply goes back to the model gleaned from the New Testament. I earnestly desire that my students lay hold of what Tim Miller is communicating in this book. Kenneth Krause, Director, Bethany College of Missions "Inspiring, a fresh look at modern missionary approaches in the context of catalytic church planting movements. Written from thoughtful reflection and passionate practice." Daniel Lim, Chief Executive Officer, IHOP Missions Base "This book is explosive, born not out of theory but by the Spirit and practice. If you truly want to make disciples of all nations as Jesus commanded, this book is a must read." Jaeson Ma, Founder, Campus Church Networks "Tim Miller has described an approach to mission among resistant people that I believe is biblical, effective, and sensitive to the cultural context. It often sounds like the book of Acts." Paul Pierson, Dean Emeritus, School of Intercultural Studies, Fuller Theological Seminary Timothy Miller has served as a church planter in various contexts and on staff at the International House of Prayer in Kansas City. He and his family continue to serve Jesus among the nations, and have a passion for the convergence of prayer, missions, and business.
Download or read book Bitter Harvest written by James Corcoran and published by North Dakota State University, Institute for Regional Studies. This book was released on 2005-01-01 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: James Corcoran tells the story of Gordon Kahl and the Posse Comitatus, using captivating narrative with vivid imagery. Sunday, February 13, 1983, was a sunny day in Medina, North Dakota--a seemingly peaceful church-going winter day. But hate politics was broiling in secret locations and the Heartland provided cover for those who wanted to take the law into their own hands. "Something terrible, and terribly important, was taking place," writes Corcoran. Ever a page-turner, reflect again on this story of violence and how a group of people can construct an alternative version of the law and the truth. New foreword by Mike Jacobs.
