Summary

This collection of studies investigates the political economy of international relations between the Soviet bloc (the “East”) and the developing world (the “South”), spanning the entire post-Stalin era while focusing on the 1970s and 1980s. The works examine East-South relations from the standpoints of international trade patterns, financial transfers, military relations including their economic angle, interactions within the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), and the international legal framework for trade embedded in the “socialist offensive in international law.” The chapters provide extensive bibliographies making this volume a handbook  of great interest not only to researchers, but also to university students and the general public.

    The concept of life after death is one of humanity’s most profound and enduring mysteries. Across cultures and time periods, people have sought to understand what happens after we take our last breath. Whether driven by religious beliefs, philosophical musings, or personal experiences, the question of the afterlife has shaped much of human thought and civilization. It has influenced not only religious teachings but also art, literature, and even scientific inquiries into consciousness and the nature of existence. 
Throughout history, the afterlife has been envisioned in countless ways. Ancient Egyptians believed in a journey to the underworld where the soul would face judgment, while the Greeks and Romans saw it as a realm of shadows or a place of eternal bliss for the virtuous. In the East, Hinduism and Buddhism introduced the concept of reincarnation, where the soul is reborn into new lives, shaped by karma. Similarly, Christianity, Islam, and Judaism have their own distinct visions of heaven, hell, and the possibility of eternal life. 
Despite the diversity of beliefs, there is a common thread that runs through all of them: the hope that death is not the end, but a transition to another realm or state of being. For many, the afterlife provides comfort, offering a sense of continuity after the end of physical existence. For others, it serves as a source of moral guidance, with promises of reward for virtue and punishment for wrongdoing.

    Bhartrihari is one of the important poets of Sanskrit Literature. It is said that he belonged to the first century B.C and that he was the elder brother of King Vikramaditya, the great ruler of Ujjain. 
Bhartr̥ihari was not only a great King. He was a great scholar, a great poet, a great Yogi, a versatile genius and above all a great Vedantin. He has written many works in Sanskrit. Three of them are popular poems consisting of one hundred verses each. They are-the Shringara Satakam, the Niti Satakam and the Vairagya Satakam. Satakam means a work consisting of 100 verses. 
Vairagya Satakam is a philosophical work dealing with the subject of liberation. Vairagyam means detachment. So, this work deals with the subject of Vairagyam as a pre requisite for liberation.

    Education: Does God Have an Opinion? is a Scriptural guide designed to help you disciple and educate your children in agreement with God’s Word. Many Christians believe God doesn’t care about how children are schooled or the methods of education that are employed. This book uses the Bible to prove otherwise. 
 
Author and speaker, Israel Wayne, faithfully applies the teaching of Scripture to the issue of education to see what God has to say about this vital topic. Within these pages, Christian parents will find a truly biblical philosophy of education and learn to strategically and systematically apply it to core subjects. 
 
There is almost no topic that is as relevant to the future of Christianity or as controversial as the education of children. Students in school classrooms spend thousands of hours being instructed by people who are not their parents. Truths about God, the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and the inerrancy of the Bible are most often stripped from the curricula used to teach them. The anti-God misinformation campaign of public schools works directly against the faith you are responsible to build into your children’s lives through discipleship. There is almost no way to calculate the power and influence this has on your family and their eternity. 
 
The future of your child’s education and, therefore, his or her life is ultimately in your hands as a parent. Education: Does God Have an Opinion? will give you discernment helping you understand how the One True God sees the issue of education.
