Synopsis

Liberation Movements explores Africa's journey to independence in the 20th century, examining the driving forces behind the dismantling of colonial empires. It highlights the rise of nationalist movements, the diverse strategies employed to achieve self-determination, and the lasting consequences of liberation. Pan-Africanism served as a unifying ideology, fostering a sense of shared identity among disparate groups striving for freedom as sovereign nations.

The book emphasizes that Africa’s independence was not a singular event, but a complex process shaped by local conditions and the responses of colonial powers. The book challenges simplistic narratives by highlighting the agency of African people in shaping their own history. It traces the origins of European colonialism and its profound impact on pre-existing African societies.

The approach is comparative, analyzing similarities and differences between various liberation movements such as those in Ghana, Algeria, Kenya and South Africa. Strategies ranged from peaceful resistance to armed struggle, reflecting pragmatic choices driven by specific circumstances.

Liberation Movements progresses logically, first introducing key concepts like colonialism and nationalism. Then, it examines specific case studies across the continent before analyzing the culmination of these movements and their long-term consequences. This approach provides a comprehensive understanding of a pivotal period in world history, valuable for anyone interested in Politics, World History, and History World.

Becoming Eisenhower - How Ike...

Michael Lee Lanning

When Dwight Eisenhower graduated from West Point in 1915, few would have predicted he was destined for greatness. Yet the young officer made the most of the opportunities he was given, made a lasting impression on superiors, and eventually gained a reputation as an excellent staff officer. 
 
 
 
Fifty-nine graduates became generals during World War II, but none of that was clear at the time, especially not for the young Dwight Eisenhower, who graduated sixty-first in a class of 164. 
 
 
 
During the 1920s into the early 1930s Eisenhower started to catch the eye of superiors and earned positions under the U.S. Army's leading lights. 
 
 
 
Eisenhower joined the General Staff in Washington, DC, where he helped develop war plans and eventually became deputy chief of staff under George Marshall. When the time came to appoint a commander to execute the plans, Marshall knew Eisenhower was the man for the job. 
 
 
 
Becoming Eisenhower is the story of a young man who first pursued the army for its free education, the story of an officer who was initially overlooked, the story of how General Eisenhower carried these experiences not only into Supreme Command but also the presidency.

Distracted - A Philosophy of...

Robert Rosenberger

Although the dangers of texting while driving are widely known, many people resist the idea that phone usage will impair their driving. And connectivity features in new cars have only made using technology behind the wheel more tempting. What will it take to change people's minds and behavior? Robert Rosenberger contends that a better understanding of why this combination of technologies is so dangerous could effectively adjust both habits and laws. 
 
 
 
Rosenberger brings together ideas from philosophy and cognitive science to leverage a postphenomenological perspective that reveals how our smartphones make us such bad drivers. Reviewing decades of empirical studies in cognitive science, he shows that we have developed habits of perception regarding our compulsive technology use—habits that may wrest our attention away from the road. 
 
 
 
Distracted develops innovative concepts for understanding technology-related habits and the ways that our relationships to our devices influence how we perceive the world. In turn, these ideas can help drivers be more cognizant of the effect that smartphone usage has on their perceptions, better inform efforts to enact stricter regulations, and help us all to be more reflective about the technologies that shape our lives.

Habits of Hope - Educational...

Todd C. Ream, Jerry Pattengale,...

In the world of education, disorientation and uncertainty has been increasing for several decades, with the Covid-19 pandemic only exacerbating preexisting challenges. Christians called to academic vocations need authentic hope to sustain them in their work—and they need to be able to share that hope with a weary world.
Habits of Hope explores a Christian understanding of hope and how it applies to the work of educators, administrators, scholars, and others in academia. Essays by master practitioners focus on six key educational practices and describe how these practices can cultivate hope within educators as well as among their students and everyone they serve:

- integration
- conversation
- diversity
- reading
- writing
- teaching
Contributors include Hans Boersma; Kimberly Battle-Walters Denu; Kevin G. Grove, CSC; Cherie Harder; Jon S. Kulaga; Philip Graham Ryken; David I. Smith; and Jessica Hooten Wilson.
Christian hope, these thinkers are convinced, has two fundamental characteristics: it's tied inextricably to the world to come, inaugurated by the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ; and it's active in its very nature. Habits of Hope combines theology and practical application to help educators find hope and infuse it throughout every area of their work.
