Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Migration has been one of the most pressing societal issues throughout history. Immigrant associations play a crucial role in understanding this phenomenon. They channel migration streams, influence the assimilation of their members, and serve as representatives of the entire immigrant group in society. However, they remain an understudied subject, particularly in historical research. To address this gap, this study examines German immigrant associations in New York from the 1890s to the 1930s. Through an innovative combination of statistical and textual analyses, it explores the class composition of these associations, their intricate system of mutual aid, and their political activities. This study offers insights into how specific socio-economic motivations influenced immigrant organization and collective action, including aspects such as long-distance nationalism and cross-border ethnic identity. Ultimately, based on these findings, this study demonstrates that immigrant associations played a crucial role in helping their members adapt to a new social and economic environment. Additionally, it shows why and how immigrant associations significantly shaped the image of German immigrants in American social and political life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Build an organization that is growth-minded, values-based, and innovative using the six steps to “responsible impact.” At age 16, Michael ‘Piecez’ Prosserman, a professional b-boy (breakdancer), completed a school project that would grow to become a hip-hop-inspired mental health charity with global reach. Through a process of continuous discovery and reflection, Prosserman and his team grew UNITY to the point where it benefitted over a quarter of a million young people. In Building Unity, Prosserman breaks down the six steps to discovering “responsible impact” and building an organization that is growth-minded, values-based, and reflective of the needs of its community. Using stories of his own evolution, learning, and growth as a leader over 15 years, Prosserman parallels the creativity found in breakdancing with the innovation needed to build a sustainable non-profit. Six steps to discovering “responsible impact”: Spark is the inspiration, the big “why,” the motivation to wake up and do something. Build is the testing ground to clarify ideas, understand community needs, and challenge assumptions. Trust involves building the culture of your organization, leading by example, and hiring people with dreams. Trust sets the stage for growth by empowering awesome people. Grow is about finding the right size for your organization to create a responsible impact. Evolve is knowing when to step back so others can step forward by building a succession plan that leaves your organization in good hands. Re-Ignite is building from past experience and lighting the next spark within yourself.

This book is here to help you understand the reason for your hope as a Christian so that you can see it with fresh sight and invite others into the conversation.

And in a way that will make you excited to be a Christian! Core Christianity covers topics like: Jesus as both fully God and fully man. The doctrine of the Trinity. The goodness of God despite a broken world. The ways God speaks. The meaning of salvation. What is the Christian calling? Includes discussion questions for individual or group use. This introduction to the basic doctrines of Christianity is perfect for those who are new to the faith, as well as those who have an interest in deepening their understanding of what it means to be a follower of Jesus Christ.

Download or read book Divine Audacity written by Linda Martella-Whitsette and published by Hampton Roads Publishing. This book was released on 2015-02-01 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Experience Oneness with the Divine and Light Up the World On the publication of her first book, Larry Dossey, MD, author of Prayer Is Good Medicine , wrote: “Martella-Whitsett is a wise guide." Her new book makes the audacious claim that each of us can be “the light of the world” Jesus instructed his followers to be. Martella-Whitsett offers a path for living a deep and authentic life outside of the strictures of traditional religious categories. A refreshing approach, in essence, on how to be spiritual without being religious. We need to jettison the idea of a God who is out there and above us. God is not a super-human who gives and takes, punishes and rewards. God does not require human suffering and repentance. We truly find God when we go inside to connect with divine light, realize our oneness with God and others, and let our light shine in the world. Martella-Whittset looks at what “divine light” is and how it is both audacious and normal to claim it for ourselves. Next she introduces us to 12 spiritual powers we can all develop and learn to use on a daily basis: faith, understanding, will, imagination, zeal power, love, wisdom, strength, order, release, and life itself. When we consciously shine our spiritual powers on ourselves, not only are our lives improved, but all of humanity can be enriched and transformed. Let your light shine!

Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER • "A dazzling journey across the sciences and humanities in search of deep laws to unite them." —The Wall Street Journal One of our greatest scientists—and the winner of two Pulitzer Prizes for On Human Nature and The Ants—gives us a work of visionary importance that may be the crowning achievement of his career. In Consilience (a word that originally meant "jumping together"), Edward O. Wilson renews the Enlightenment's search for a unified theory of knowledge in disciplines that range from physics to biology, the social sciences and the humanities. Using the natural sciences as his model, Wilson forges dramatic links between fields. He explores the chemistry of the mind and the genetic bases of culture. He postulates the biological principles underlying works of art from cave-drawings to Lolita. Presenting the latest findings in prose of wonderful clarity and oratorical eloquence, and synthesizing it into a dazzling whole, Consilience is science in the path-clearing traditions of Newton, Einstein, and Richard Feynman.

Download or read book The Eye of the Storm written by Salidor Christoffel Coetzee and published by Partridge Publishing Singapore. This book was released on 2021-03-02 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Quest for Truth This book is dedicated to the world’s most vulnerable people who suffer from atrocities stemming from wars, poverty, addictions, and foremost those who were infected by or died because of the COVID-19 coronavirus. A virus that was created in and originating from China, Wuhan City in the Hubei province. The virus spread rapidly, creating immense havoc across the globe, sparing no country or human being, a virus without borders, with devastating effects. It is time for introspection and reflection, a time for a psychological and spiritual makeover, time to remove idols from our midst and honour one God, the God of Adam and Eve, God of Abraham, Sarah, Hagar, Ishmael and Isaac, God the oneness. The story of Abraham is retold in the book from a Christian biblical perspective, but more so from a Muslim belief, the Quran perspective, a constructive attempt to align and bridge the divides between nations during these difficult, testing times. Through the book, the author fulfils that commitment and promise made as a young boy to God, to spread God’s message of hope and love into the world, to bridge the cultural divide, to promote care for the poor and homeless. Similar to the COVID-19 coronavirus, God’s grace, love, and forgiveness have no borders. The world is in desperate need of spiritual cure and revival, across borders. It is a world in constant chaos and turmoil instigated and promulgated by politicians, and business and country leaders’ ethical misbehaviour across the globe, hearts and minds contaminated by a deadly infected ‘cancerous’ disease for example lust, arrogance, and greed, fraudulent and corrupt hearts and minds, an extremism philosophy and theology in its own right. The author sadly lost his wife in 2010 due to breast cancer. In 2011, he was on the verge of becoming a tramp in the streets of South Africa. Yes, a highly qualified individual with years of experience as a financial manager in a big corporate company, with 8 years high-level academic accomplishments. If people ask him, ‘How was it possible?’ he will tell them it is very possible; it all depends on every individual’s personal circumstances. God the Oneness knows every hair on your head, He loves and cares about you anyway, wherever and whatever you are. The author lived and worked for seven years of his career as a cost engineer for a large oil-and-gas company in Saudi Arabia. He also previously worked as financial manager for a joint-venture oil-and-gas company in Iran, Arya Sasol Polymer Company (ASPC), a joint-venture company with 50 per cent ownership from oil-and-gas company National Petroleum Company (NPC), Iran and 50 per cent ownership from oil-and-gas company Sasol South Africa. Both companies were represented on the ASPC board by three directors, respectively. He had the joy and fulfilment of visiting many countries during his short life, apart from working and living in Saudi Arabia and Iran. A journey always has a starting and a finishing point, starting life from fertilisation to an unborn fruit in the womb of your mother until you pass on to something much bigger and better, eternal life, heavenly freedom and peace in the presence of God, the Creator and oneness. In the book, Saudi Arabia and Iran are extensively discussed to provide insight to the reader. The two countries are uniquely different, but in many ways the same. The author attempts to give the reader a glimpse of life as an expatriate worker in both countries, Saudi Arabia and Iran—a journey never to forget or to regret, a humble, faithful, committed contribution to mankind, in a dynamic and diverse way, in a dynamic and diverse multicultural environment. In some instances, the author feels obliged to speak the truth, and only the truth, because truth matters, for the sake of reflection, admission, repentance, and necessary corrective action by business leaders, politicians, and governments alike, to take a leaf from the author’s book of life. The Leadership Challenge are discussed, using Nelson Mandela, a previous president of South Africa as an example to explain the concept of Servant leadership. Few images in history are more powerful than that of Nelson Mandela, fist raised in a dignified grey suit, walking after his release from 27 years of imprisonment, his short walk to freedom. Mandela was only 44 years old when he was given a life sentence by the apartheid regime for his leadership of the African National Congress, an organisation outlawed by the South African government for its anti-apartheid actions and positions. After providing the reader with evidential background, the last two chapters deal with the author’s personal experiences in Iran and Saudi Arabia respectively, two countries that are way apart from each other. The two countries, apart from being constantly in conflict with each other, are also in conflict with other countries, because of their deeply rooted differences in religion and cultures, but more so because of their greed and love for oil, or black gold. They are ways apart and indifferent, but with so much in common.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text explores the pervasive influence of pacifism on Victorian feminism. Drawing on previously unused source material, it provides an account of Victorian women who campaigned for peace and the many feminists who incorporated pacifist ideas into their writing on women and women's work. It explores feminists' ideas about the role of women within the empire, their eligibility for citizenship and their ability to act as moral guardians in public life. Brown shows that such ideas made use - in varying ways - of gendered understandings of the role of force and the relevance of arbitration and other pacifist strategies. organizations, from well-known feminists such as Lydia Becker, Josephine Butler and Milicent Garrett Fawcett, to lesser-known figures such as the Quaker pacifists Ellen Robinson and Priscilla Peckover. Women's work within male-dominated organizations, such as the Peace Society and the International Arbitration and Peace Association, is covered alongside single-sex organizations, such as the International Council of Women. Also reviewed are the arguments put forward in feminist journals like the Englishwoman's Review and the Women's Penny Paper. Brown uncovers a wide range of pacifist, internationalist and anti-imperialist strands in Victorian feminist thought, focusing on how these ideas developed within the political and organizational context of the time. movements and to those with an interest in the history of British feminism.
