Download or read book The Split Time written by Nimi Wariboko and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2022-08-01 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Her great-grandmother, a passionate suffragette and temperance advocate, was equally torn between demanding daughters and a dependent mother showing early signs of dementia. When Penny discovers her great-grandmother's letters, she is almost at the end of her tether. Will the words of another woman from another time help Penny deal with having to split her time amongst so many others?

Download or read book The Split Second Integral written by William Holland and published by Dorrance Publishing. This book was released on 2023-12-05 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About the Book Ever since the creation of science fiction, readers the world over have been fascinated with concepts and technology far beyond current comprehension. But what if the science in science fiction could be explained and understood? With the progression of physics, the theories and mathematical equations behind mind-blowing concepts can become a bit easier to grasp. In The Split-Second Interval, William Holland begins by introducing the very basic history of physics, including the necessary mathematical concepts to understand the movement of an object in space-time, and progresses to the transition of three-dimensional logic to the time-based four-dimensional logic while describing Hypercube and four-dimensional movement. From there, a whole new world of universal understanding opens up, propelling the reader on a journey through anywhere and anywhen. Included in his work is a short story based on the principles discussed through the earlier pages, putting all the knowledge gained into one neat and wonderous tale, now with the foundation to understand the science behind the fiction. About the Author William Holland currently resides in Phoenix. He enjoys playing his keyboard, chess, cooking, and flying his Phantom ultralight aircraft. Holland volunteers in his community by making pancakes at local pancake breakfasts and serving ice cream at events.

Book excerpt: A riveting portrait of life after abuse from an award-winning novelist. Sixteen-Year-Old Jace Witherspoon arrives at the doorstep of his estranged brother Christian with a re-landscaped face (courtesy of his father’s fist), $3.84, and a secret. He tries to move on, going for new friends, a new school, and a new job, but all his changes can’t make him forget what he left behind—his mother, who is still trapped with his dad, and his ex-girlfriend, who is keeping his secret.

After you’ve said enough, after you’ve run, after you’ve made the split—how do you begin to live again? Readers won’t be able to put this intense page-turner down.

Download or read book Am I Alone Here written by Peter Orner and published by Catapult. This book was released on 2016-10-25 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This National Book Critics Circle Award is “an entrancing attempt to catch what falls between: the irreducibly personal, messy, even embarrassing ways reading and living bleed into each other, which neither literary criticism nor autobiography ever quite acknowledges.” —The New York Times “Stories, both my own and those I’ve taken to heart, make up whoever it is that I’ve become,” Peter Orner writes in this collection of essays about reading, writing, and living. Orner reads and writes everywhere he finds himself: a hospital cafeteria, a coffee shop in Albania, or a crowded bus in Haiti. The result is a book of unlearned meditations that stumbles into memoir. Among the many writers Orner addresses are Isaac Babel and Zora Neale Hurston, both of whom told their truths and were silenced; Franz Kafka, who professed loneliness but craved connection; Robert Walser, who spent the last twenty-three years of his life in a Swiss insane asylum, working at being crazy; and Juan Rulfo, who practiced the difficult art of silence. Virginia Woolf, Eudora Welty, Yasunari Kawabata, Saul Bellow, Mavis Gallant, John Edgar Wideman, William Trevor, and Václav Havel make appearances, as well as the poet Herbert Morris--about whom almost nothing is known. An elegy for an eccentric late father, and the end of a marriage, Am I Alone Here? is also a celebration of the possibility of renewal. At once personal and panoramic, this book will inspire readers to return to the essential stories of their own lives.

For her instructors in the twenty-first century, it meant painstaking calculations and careful monitoring of the rendezvous location where Kivrin would be received. But a crisis strangely linking past and future strands Kivrin in a bygone age as her fellows try desperately to rescue her. In a time of superstition and fear, Kivrin—barely of age herself—finds she has become an unlikely angel of hope during one of history’s darkest hours.
