With stories of misadventures in rural America that even nonbelievers will find inspiring, Lance busts stereotypes about the typical “environmentalist” and proves that being green doesn’t have to mean deprivation, that sustainability and profitability can go hand-in-hand.

Falcon Press

Buy now to get the main key ideas from Cathy O'Neil's Weapons of Math Destruction 
  
Technological advances are often lauded as unbiased and fair. But in Weapons of Math Destruction (2016), data scientist Cathy O’Neil posits that the opposite is true. Today’s world is largely ruled by mathematical algorithms that decide most aspects of life, from education to work, insurance to elections. Existing models have proven to be harmful. They promote inequalities by favoring the wealthy and the privileged and pushing minorities and poor people further down. These models, by being invisible, unregulated, and indisputable, form Weapons of Math Destruction fueled by the Big Data that could divide the world even more if left unchecked.

Lessons from Past Heroes - How...

Phumlani M Majozi

What can be learned from black South Africans who achieved success before South Africa became a democracy in 1994? What are the challenges they faced, and how did they overcome them? And, today, how have South Africans benefited from the country's democratic system of governance?
These are the questions Phumlani M. Majozi explores and attempts to answer in Lessons from Past Heroes.
He traces black people's success and political activity back to the early 1900s; successful men and women who spearheaded the struggle against the segregationist, colonialist government and devoted their lives to advancing the interests of their communities. Phumlani explores the careers, challenges, and successes of people such as Pixley ka Isaka Seme, John Langalibalele Dube, Sol Plaatje and Josiah Tshangana Gumede.
During the apartheid years, South Africa produced black men and women who overcame the odds to succeed in their fields of business, entertainment, science, and politics. They excelled in the face of an oppressive government system, and their stories should inspire every South African today.
After exploring the history of South Africa, Phumlani delves into the present and the future; evaluating the challenges South Africans face and proposes solutions that can speed up their economic progress.
He argues that much of South Africa's history has portrayed the majority as victims of the minority, and that the inspirational stories of those people who overcame adversity are not being told widely enough.
These stories must be told to inspire future generations.
If black South Africans could succeed in the pre-1994 era, what can stop them today? The answer is nothing, Phumlani writes.
Phumlani M. Majozi is a business and macroeconomics analyst, writer and commentator on economic, political and global issues. He is a Senior Fellow at African Liberty and sits on the boards of four organisations: Chartered Institute of Business Accountants (CIBA), South African Institute of Race Relations (IRR), Social Research Foundation (SRF) and Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse (OUTA).
