Synopsis

Great Zimbabwe Structure explores the remarkable architecture of Great Zimbabwe, a pre-colonial civilization in southern Africa, to reveal insights into its society, economy, and political organization. The book examines the site's layout and function, from the Hill Complex to the Great Enclosure and Valley Enclosures, demonstrating how these stone structures reflect social hierarchies and economic power. The study of Great Zimbabwe challenges Eurocentric narratives by highlighting pre-colonial African achievements. The book uniquely combines architectural analysis with social and economic history, moving beyond simple descriptions to uncover the deeper significance of the site's architecture. For example, monumental stone structures reinforced the authority of the ruling elite, managed economic activities, and facilitated religious practices. Drawing upon archaeological data, historical accounts, and analyses of material culture, the book provides a comprehensive understanding of Great Zimbabwe.

 
The book progresses by first introducing the historical context of Great Zimbabwe’s rise and decline, then transitions into a detailed look at the site's major architectural components. By exploring the spatial layout and material culture, this study contributes to discussions about urban development and cultural expression in pre-colonial societies, offering valuable insights for students, researchers, and anyone interested in African history and architecture.

The Rise of Sustainable Giving -...

Dave Raley

There is a generosity crisis in North America. The number of individuals giving to charity is on the decline. For nonprofits that rely on the generosity of everyday individuals, this is an alarming statistic. But amidst these challenges, a new opportunity has arisen: the subscription economy has transformed donor behavior and preferences, making recurring giving more accessible than at any other time in history.Dave Raley, with over twenty years of experience in the nonprofit sector, has studied top-performing nonprofits that are successfully tapping into this new kind of giving. As individuals and organizations have embraced subscriptions, consumer trends have changed, and donors are more likely to give on a recurring basis to nonprofits of all types and sizes. This has paved the way for subscription giving, and ultimately, more reliable revenue that can accelerate generosity.In The Rise of Sustainable Giving, Raley shares the core elements of building a thriving sustainable giving program, including:Six key shifts driven by the subscription economyUnderstanding donor motivationCrafting an ongoing value propositionGetting your technology stack rightDesigning and launching your programGrowing your programSustainable giving is more than just inspirational jargon or a lofty idea; it’s a tactical playbook for a new era of fundraising.

Being and Neon

Luis de Miranda

“This little book is a jewel of intelligence, finesse and culture, which takes a technical object without complaint and turns it over and over as Heidegger taught us to do with Van Gogh's shoes. What is striking is the ambition of a meditation on the maps of contemporary modernity, on the famous Greater Paris, on the subject, on the plural, without the evasiveness of the postmodern, of the absurd quotation. Luis de Miranda goes for a walk, he tells you that he goes for a walk, but he leads you with great mastery and knows where he wants to go. There is nothing gratuitous about this encounter of the kebab shop on the dissection table of the City of Neon. It is rather a new Cartesian meditation after Descartes and Husserl: where the stove and its heat have given way to the whirling sound of gas in a tube. I am, I create, therefore I hear. “Born from an unexpected encounter with a neon sign on the Quai du Louvre, this book was composed based on a seminar given by the author in the winter of 2012. An inspired journey through the night, deciphering the halos of the past and the reflections of the present to give voice to a certain magic of the future.
