Book excerpt: Zebras Never Die is a fictional narrative drawing parallels between developments in the state of Zimbabwe and the history and experiences of an ordinary national, Gura Masango. The main theme of the book is the resilience and humanity of the Bajwe people, the natives of Zimbabwe, as characterised by Gura and his ancestry, under both colonial and postcolonial oppression. The cultural values evident in the work ethic and generosity of Gura and his kinsmen prove to be the ultimate basis for the survival and future prospects of the nation, as opposed to the war of liberation--which, indeed, achieved political freedom and initially seemed to have delivered the promise of everlasting prosperity but was hijacked, through contrived institutional arrangements, by Batho ("father of the people") Mokaba and his cohort, who, for three decades, looted the wealth of the nation and felt unaccountable for the free fall of the economy.

Download or read book Why Zebras Don t Get Ulcers written by Robert M. Sapolsky and published by Holt Paperbacks. This book was released on 2004-09-15 with total page 559 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Renowned primatologist Robert Sapolsky offers a completely revised and updated edition of his most popular work, with over 225,000 copies in print Now in a third edition, Robert M. Sapolsky's acclaimed and successful Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers features new chapters on how stress affects sleep and addiction, as well as new insights into anxiety and personality disorder and the impact of spirituality on managing stress. As Sapolsky explains, most of us do not lie awake at night worrying about whether we have leprosy or malaria. Instead, the diseases we fear-and the ones that plague us now-are illnesses brought on by the slow accumulation of damage, such as heart disease and cancer. When we worry or experience stress, our body turns on the same physiological responses that an animal's does, but we do not resolve conflict in the same way-through fighting or fleeing. Over time, this activation of a stress response makes us literally sick. Combining cutting-edge research with a healthy dose of good humor and practical advice, Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers explains how prolonged stress causes or intensifies a range of physical and mental afflictions, including depression, ulcers, colitis, heart disease, and more. It also provides essential guidance to controlling our stress responses. This new edition promises to be the most comprehensive and engaging one yet.

Download or read book Dusty Zebra written by Clifford D. Simak and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2017-07-04 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tales of science fiction and adventure from the Hugo Award–winning author of Way Station and City. The long and prolific career of Clifford D. Simak cemented him as one of the formative voices of the science fiction and fantasy genre. The third writer to be named a Grand Master by the Science Fiction Writers of America, his literary legacy stands alongside those of Robert A. Heinlein and Ray Bradbury. This striking collection of nine tales showcases Simak’s ability to take the everyday and turn it into something truly compelling, taking readers on a long journey in a very short time. In “Dusty Zebra,” Joe discovers a portal that allows him to exchange everyday objects with an entity he can neither see nor hear, and soon learns that one man’s treasure may be another dimension’s trash. In “Retrograde Evolution,” an interplanetary trading vessel tries to figure out how to deal with a remote society that has suddenly decided to become far less civilized. And in “Project Mastodon,” an unusual ambassador from an unheard-of country offers amazing opportunities in a place the modern world can never compete with: the past. Simak’s mastery of the short form is on display in these and six other stories. Each story includes an introduction by David W. Wixon, literary executor of the Clifford D. Simak estate and editor of this ebook.

Download or read book Stroking the Zebra written by Leslie Corron Robert Leslie Corron and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2009-12 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This document is a methodology for trying to understand how I think and why I think as I do. My thinking process is premise based. I operate on the premise that evolutional genetic traits have more or less programmed the basic capabilities and limitations of the starting (initial) conditions of my particular “Human Nature.” From this point – considering the environmental conditions from conception through embryology – all internal ->external responses are learned – given full consideration to the capabilities and limitations mentioned above, of my personal “Human Nature.” I also operate; in the philosophical mode – which I try to maintain at all times, on the premise that I am finite. Being finite limits the data available for making absolute, truthful observations, and therefore decisions. This being the case, I cannot believe or disbelieve anything. Knowing that one cannot function in this limbo, I have formulated premises that I live by. They are somewhat found depending on new data or current situations. Because of this, I find that my premises are sometimes conflicting and contrary to one another. That is just the way it is. I live with it. Author's thought after the fact, shades of Aristotle, Platos, Socrates, Descartes, Spinoza, Hegel, and Peirce, but more primitive, juvenile and sophomoric. But isn't that when we start to realize who we are? A basic primer on how to think.

Book excerpt: The crime scene at St. Marguerite's cathedral in New Orleans is shocking, even to seasoned detectives like Rick Bentz and Reuben Montoya. A novice nun named Sister Camille has been found dressed in a yellowed bridal gown and viciously garroted, her body covered with an altar cloth. Valerie Houston is devastated by her sister's death. For weeks, she'd begged Camille to leave St. Marguerite's, where she seemed determined to live as some kind of martyr. But Camille had a knack for making bad choices-she joined the convent in part because she'd fallen for Val's soon-to-be ex-husband, Slade. Convinced the police aren't doing enough, Val begins to investigate. But the deeper Val's inquiries go, the more twisted the case becomes. St. Marguerite's is far from the tranquil retreat many believe; everyone has their own agenda. Even Camille had a hidden life Val never suspected. But someone knew about Camille's past - and Val's, too. Now she has no choice but to catch a devious, depraved killer intent on purging St. Marguerite's of all its sins - before she becomes the next victim.
