Sinopsis

"Zulu Time" explores the rich tapestry of pre-colonial African timekeeping, revealing how societies like the Zulu used lunar calendars, environmental markers, and oral traditions to structure their lives.

 
 Far from being primitive, these systems were sophisticated, reflecting a deep understanding of the natural world. Consider how the blooming of specific plants signaled crucial seasonal shifts or how stories encoded historical events and seasonal changes, information passed down through generations.

 
 This book challenges Eurocentric views, presenting indigenous knowledge as coherent and functional. The book systematically uncovers the core concepts of African timekeeping, starting with an introduction before diving into lunar cycles and environmental changes. It then explores oral traditions, demonstrating how these elements intertwined to create a holistic and adaptive system.

 
 It also shows how these systems provided a framework for social cohesion, environmental stewardship, and spiritual connection. By centering African perspectives, "Zulu Time" fosters a more nuanced understanding of diverse cultural practices and their approach to time measurement.

    Leaders are expected to be strong, dynamic, intelligent, and level-headed. As a leader, you may feel compelled to embody a "superhuman" standard or make personal sacrifices in order to get a project done well and on time. You might ignore the warning signs of mental health issues such as sleeplessness and fatigue. And, to make matters worse, you may rely on unhealthy behaviors such as consuming alcohol to deal with the overwhelming stress of daily life. So, how can you break this destructive cycle, prioritize your mental health, and optimize performance? 
     
    This workbook offers skills and strategies based in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), as well as dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), to soothe stress, avoid exhaustion, and build the resilience required to show up as your best self. You'll gain a greater understanding of the specific psychological challenges inherent in leadership positions, the emotional toll it takes professionally and personally, and—most importantly—how to manage these challenges effectively. 
     
    As a leader, admitting that you are struggling can be difficult. You may have feelings of shame, or fears of being stigmatized. But when weighed against the increasing costs to your mental, physical, and emotional well-being, you simply can't afford to ignore it!

    Lies My Liberal Teacher Told Me...

    A college professor debunks the myths that have infiltrated America's school curricula. 
    In 1995, James W. Loewen penned the classic work of criticism Lies My Teacher Told Me, a left-leaning corrective that addressed much of what was sanitized and omitted from American history books. 
    But in the decades that followed, false leftist narratives—as wrong as those they supplanted—have come to dominate American academia and education. Now, in the same spirit but updated for 2024, Wilfred Reilly demolishes the scholastic myths propagated by the left, uncovers fresh angles on “established” events, and turns what we think we know about history upside down. Among the popular lies he debunks:“The ‘Red Scare’ was a moral panic that caught no commies”“Native Americans were peaceful people who spent all day dancing”“European colonialism was—empirically—a no-good, terrible, very bad thing”“The racist ‘Southern Strategy’ turned the South Republican”“The Vietnam War was unpopular and pointless” 
     
    Lies My Liberal Teacher Told Me sets the record straight on many of these myths, explaining that there actually were communists in Hollywood; that many Native American tribes were cannibals, owned slaves and made them march the Trail of Tears with them; and that history, while almost always bad for Black Americans, was much worse for all of us than we tend to think it was.  
    Smart, irreverent, and deeply researched, Lies My Liberal Teacher Told Me will revolutionize your understanding of history and reveal a new and refreshing way to teach and think about the past.

    Andean Economies explores the economic paths of three key countries—Bolivia, Chile, and Peru—that make up the backbone of the Andean region. This 3-in-1 volume traces how natural resources, policy choices, and historical legacies have shaped the rise and fall of economic fortunes across these nations. From copper and lithium to agriculture and tourism, the Andes are not just mountains—they’re economic lifelines that have brought both prosperity and hardship to those who call this region home. 
    In From Prosperity to Peril, the book examines how sudden wealth from resource booms often led to financial crises and social unrest, especially in countries like Bolivia, where inequality and political tensions persist. Chile’s economic journey highlights one of the most stable and market-driven economies in South America, marked by both praise for reform and criticism for inequality. Finally, Peru’s economic evolution tells a story of resilience—how a country historically plagued by instability and poverty transformed into one of the region’s fastest-growing economies in recent decades. 
    This comprehensive overview is ideal for anyone seeking to understand the forces behind economic change in South America’s Andean corridor—where every boom comes with risk, and every crisis opens the door for transformation.
