  Sam Jonah and the remaking of Ashanti recounts the inspirational life of one of Africa's most prominent black businessmen. From working underground as a shovel boy to his appointment as the CEO of the trailblazing African gold mining company, Ashanti Goldfields Corporation, Sam Jonah's determination to surmount every obstacle in a career strewn with hurdles makes for compelling reading. 
  Frenzied deals, boardroom cliffhangers, political scandal and private battles punctuate this unique account of the challenges of conducting 'First World' business in the 'Third World'. Through Jonah's corporate leadership we explore the paradox that a continent so richly endowed with gold and other minerals should find itself in such dire poverty. It is a hopeful story about breaking the confines of one's circumstances, not just for Africans but for individuals the world over.

  You Shall Be as Gods - Pagans...

  Our country doesn't have a partisan problem, a political problem, a social problem, or an economic problem. We have a spiritual problem. 
   
   
   
  As Christianity has been pushed aside, the Progressive Left has developed a new pagan religion. But the radical roots of the new secular religion are ancient. We've seen it all before. In You Shall Be as Gods, Erick Erickson traces the religion's roots from Paganism and Gnosticism through the Age of Enlightenment all the way into the Postmodernism of the twenty-first century. At the heart of the ancient religion is a self-centered culture. 
   
   
   
  The Christian church today has been weakened by compromising with the neo-pagan religion, leaving the faithful ill-prepared to counter the claims of society's present-day doctrine. Yet there remains a significant remnant in America that refuses to bow to the rising belief system. 
   
   
   
  Just as in Rome and countless societies throughout history, the religions present two opposing stories of reality which necessitates conflict. In an era where the "Christian thing" to do seems to be to go along and get along, Erickson makes clear that the two cultures cannot peacefully coexist and calls the listener to speak the truth in love.

  From the humble beginnings of a frontier army camp, Fort Worth transformed into a city as cattle drives, railroads, oil, and national defense drove its economy. During the tremendous growth, the landscape and cultural imprint of the city changed drastically, and much of Cowtown was lost to history. Witness the birth of western swing music and the death of a cloud dancer. See mansions of the well-heeled and saloons of the well-armed. Meet two gunfighters, one flamboyant preacher, one serial killer and one very short subway carrying passengers back in time to discover more of Fort Worth. Author Mike Nichols presents a colorful history tour from the North Side to the South Side's Battle of Buttermilk Junction.

  A NEW MONEY STORY: The Beliefs, Behaviors, and Brain Science to Rewire for Wealth 
  Book Summary 
  Neuroscientists estimate that over 90 percent of our operating systems—beliefs, behaviors, patterns—are 
  unconscious. Since the surface story determines less than 10 percent of our decisions, how can we 
  illuminate the shadow story responsible for over 90 percent of what we do each day? Once we 
  systematically understand our relationship with money, our individual meanings and symbolism, can we 
  overcome the mind and brain’s resistance to change? 
  A NEW MONEY STORY: The Beliefs, Behaviors, and Brain Science to Rewire for Wealth will help you 
  recognize, own, and assess each component of your money story. You can then decide what to change, 
  map changes, author new storylines, and even program the changes to transform core identity to make it 
  complete and lasting. This systematic stepwise process to inform and strategically catalyze behavior 
  change will rewrite mind software and revise brain hardware of money stories as they are interwoven with 
  life, wellness, relationship, and career stories. These behavior, mind, and brain changes offer long-term 
  successful strategies, and even can crystallize a vision of your future self to significantly affect positive 
  money decisions.

  Elementary Particles -...

  Elementary particles are the most fundamental building blocks of the universe. Unlike atoms, which can be broken down into protons, neutrons, and electrons, elementary particles are indivisible—they have no known internal structure. These particles, governed by the principles of quantum mechanics, form the basis of all matter and energy interactions. 
  The concept of elementary particles has evolved over time. In ancient philosophy, matter was thought to be composed of indivisible units called "atoms," a term coined by the Greek philosopher Democritus. However, modern science has shown that atoms themselves are not fundamental, as they consist of smaller components. By the early 20th century, scientists had discovered the existence of protons, neutrons, and electrons, leading to the birth of particle physics as a discipline. 
  The real breakthrough in understanding elementary particles came with the development of quantum mechanics and relativity. In the 1920s and 1930s, physicists formulated quantum field theories that described how particles interact through fundamental forces. By the mid-20th century, experimental discoveries revealed that protons and neutrons were not fundamental but composed of even smaller particles called quarks. This led to the development of the Standard Model of Particle Physics, which remains the best theoretical framework for describing elementary particles and their interactions.
