  Break Blow Burn and Make - A...

  From the award-winning author of On Fragile Waves comes an inspirational, surprising guide to creation and creativity, and how both bring us closer to God.   Centuries ago, sound theology and good fiction were friends and not strangers. Decades ago, authors strove not for self-expression and self-disclosure but for a mastery of craft and language and books that transformed the reader with wisdom and love. In more recent years, the old ideals have been exchanged for lesser ones.   Few guides to writing, which tend to focus on mechanics, point of view, and plot, address the more important matters of meaning, depth, and heart. But it is the latter qualities that make a book a blessing and gift to both writer and reader. Like Christ’s invitation to follow, they demand a risk and sacrifice of the self and all it holds dear. Writers from George MacDonald to James Baldwin understood this, but in recent years this understanding has been lost. Making old things new, this book proposes an ethics of reading, writing, and living based on truth and love.  Break, Blow, Burn, & Make returns the literary conversation to the practices of co-creation with God. Part bugle call, part compass for writing and for life, and part love song to the books that set us on fire, it offers those who are willing to receive it the courage to live, read, and write more deeply and honestly.

  How Mexican and Latinx hackers apply concepts from coding to their lived experiences 
   
   
   
  In Code Work, Héctor Beltrán examines Mexican and Latinx coders' personal strategies of self-making as they navigate a transnational economy of tech work. Beltrán shows how these hackers apply concepts from the code worlds to their lived experiences, deploying batches, loose coupling, iterative processing (looping), hacking, prototyping, and full-stack development in their daily social interactions—at home, in the workplace, on the dating scene, and in their understanding of the economy, culture, and geopolitics. Merging ethnographic analysis with systems thinking, he draws on his eight years of research in México and the United States—during which he participated in and observed hackathons, hacker schools, and tech entrepreneurship conferences—to unpack the conundrums faced by workers in a tech economy that stretches from villages in rural México to Silicon Valley. 
   
   
   
  Beltrán's highly original, wide-ranging analysis uniquely connects technology studies, the anthropology of capitalism, and Latinx and Latin American studies.

  Demographic Dividend: Turning Population Growth into Economic Gold offers a comprehensive exploration of one of the most pivotal forces shaping the global economy today—demographic change. This insightful and timely book delves into the concept of the demographic dividend, a period of accelerated economic growth driven by shifts in population structure, particularly when the working-age population outnumbers dependents. Through a blend of theory, real-world case studies, and policy analysis, the book reveals how nations can harness their demographic potential to spur sustainable economic development. 
  Drawing on historical examples and contemporary trends, the book uncovers how demographic transitions—such as the shift from youthful to aging populations—can either be a boon or a burden for economies. It explores key drivers of economic success, such as human capital investment, healthcare improvements, and job creation, while also addressing the challenges posed by aging populations, dependency ratios, and unemployment. 
  This book also explores the regional perspectives of Asia, Africa, and Latin America, highlighting diverse strategies for leveraging demographic changes in different contexts. It emphasizes the role of education, healthcare, and economic policies in unlocking the full potential of a growing or transitioning population. With a forward-thinking approach, it concludes with actionable insights and a call to action for policymakers, economists, and citizens to turn demographic challenges into lasting economic opportunities. 
  Whether you are a policymaker, economist, academic, or simply an engaged citizen, Demographic Dividend: Turning Population Growth into Economic Gold provides the essential tools and knowledge to understand and navigate the complexities of demographic transitions and their transformative impact on economic development.

  Alien Gods

  Before time was recorded by mankind there were the ancient gods of Mesopotamia. Before civilization emerged, before Empires grew, they came and created a hybrid slave race we now call humanity. 
   
  This is the story of the Anunnaki, the ancient gods. All religions, myths and mysteries emerged in these ancient times. Flying angels and chariots. Sky ships and miracles. Great constructions in an age supposedly named after stone. The facts do not fit the standard history. Instead, they fit a massive tale of a superior species that came to Earth, created a slave race to mine and serve, and then left behind mystery. 
   
  This is the story of those alien gods.
