Sinopse

The 'Kama Sutra,' a timeless anthology of ancient wisdom and sensual exploration, presents a collection of meditations on love, desire, and the complexities of human relationships. This edition uniquely integrates diverse literary styles, ranging from poetic prose to practical discourse, reflecting a broad spectrum of human emotions and social customs. Through its insightful portrayals, each piece captures the essence of passion in its cultural context, with standout elements engaging readers in a dialogue between the spiritual and the bodily realms. Compiled with meticulous scholarship, this edition balances historical richness with thematic depth, providing an illuminating journey through the art of living fully and with sensitivity to both personal and societal dimensions of intimacy. The anthology brings together the masterful ancient Sanskrit treatise of Vatsyayana with the pioneering translations and commentaries of Richard Francis Burton, a noted Victorian explorer and scholar. Their combined contributions underscore the cultural and historical milieus from which these texts emerge. Vatsyayana's exploration reflects the classical Indian philosophical backdrop, while Burton'Äôs Victorian perspective and detailed commentary open windows to cross-cultural understandings of sexual mores. This collaboration spans continents and centuries, offering readers a panoramic view of ancient to Victorian insights, as seen through the lenses of distinct yet complementary intellectual traditions. This comprehensive collection invites readers to immerse themselves in the multifaceted narratives of love and desire, serving as both an educational resource and a journey into the human psyche'Äôs deepest realms. It is a unique opportunity to engage with a dialogue that transcends time, drawing connections between ancient philosophies and their continuous relevance. As such, the 'Kama Sutra' becomes not just a literary exploration but a vital discourse that stimulates discussions on intimacy, ethics, and personal freedom across diverse cultural landscapes. This anthology is an essential acquisition for those seeking to understand the plurality of perspectives that define the art and science of love.

    Purposeful Leadership for Africa...

    Leaders of the African liberation movements proclaimed ambitious objectives and promised swift dismantling of colonial policies and practices. It was believed that poverty and underdevelopment were consequences of the exploitative policies of the colonial masters, who had no interest in improving living conditions for local communities. Independence and freedom were anticipated to eradicate poverty, ignorance and disease, and the new leadership would accelerate economic development and prosperity.
    However, after more than 50 years of independence, most African countries are still poor and underdeveloped and this poses a few questions:
    Have African leaders abandoned their ambitions?
    Are African challenges more complex than in other regions?
    Has the political leadership failed to rise to the challenge?
    In his relentless pursuit of African excellence and development, Professor Lumkile Wiseman Nkuhlu offers profound insights and solutions to the challenges Africa has faced and continues to encounter. He wrestles with the vexing question of how a continent with such a rich history and heritage, as well as potential, remains an underperforming region of the world and offers insights into potential pathways and strategies for breaking free from the vicious cycle of underdevelopment.
    Africa can become the world's production powerhouse in the second half of this century, provided that intentional and purposeful leadership emerges. Purposeful Leadership for Africa in the 21st Century delves into the leadership strategies, qualities and policies needed for an African renewal, aiming to reposition the continent as a strategic and competitive global player.
