  Why Do Governments Fail? - A...

  The book: “Why Do Governments Fail?” Its subtitle is “A Thorough Investigation Of How Absolute Power/Power Retention, Economic Prosperity, Poverty, General Insecurity, Corruption, Elected Candidates' Quality, Electorates' Positive Voting Behavior, Electoral System, & Party Ethics Influence Governments' Success/Failure. (Using Real Case Studies) Revised Version” measured various incidences leading to government failures or successes. An ugly trend among unpatriotic politicians to maintain their selfish grip on power against the majority wishes of the citizenry continues to contribute to government failures in most African countries, such as Cameroon, Zimbabwe, Libya, etc., while the respect for tenure of political offices in most Western nations continues to strengthen democratic precedents and benefits.  
  Economic prosperity is a yardstick upholding the democratic health of most advanced nations, such as the United States, with centuries of democratic practice, compared to economically challenged nations where some undemocratic forces capitalize on their countries’ staggering economic conditions to seize power through illegitimate means, such as the military coups that occurred in Niger, Burkina Faso, and Mali. 
  The people, because of the unbearable poverty level in their countries, decide to rally support for these military juntas, forgetting the ugly events that took place in Libya. They never once consider the fact that Gaddafi also started as a people’s hero before allowing himself to be blinded by absolute power. The people rejoicing and singing praises to these military juntas today have never thought of the fact that their celebrated military rulers might become their worst Gaddafi of tomorrow. For instance, these juntas are gradually metamorphosing into Gaddafi’s tactics by elongating their tenure in office and postponing their countries’ election timetables indefinitely.

  Plundered - The Tangled Roots of...

  Two of the world's greatest crises, systemic racism and environmental destruction, share the same origin story. The two are rooted in economic forces that exploit and oppress both people and land. 
   
   
   
  Pastor David Swanson shows how we have failed our God-given duty as caretakers of creation and how that failure has resulted in the exploitation of people and the extraction of natural resources. Racial and ecological injustice share the same root cause—greed—that turns people and the natural world into commodities that are only valued for their utility. Yet Christians have the capacity to live in a way that nurtures racial and environmental justice simultaneously, honoring people and places in dynamic relationship with our Creator God. Swanson shows how we can become communities of caretakers, the way to restore our relationship with creation and each other, and the holistic justice that can result.

  Read by the author, Dr Sam Carr.'Empathetic, enlightening, deeply human' - Michael Harris, author of SolitudeAn intimate portrait of loneliness, All the Lonely People sees psychologist Dr Sam Carr collect hours of conversations with people young and old, including single parents, carers, teenagers and the bereaved – all shared over countless cups of tea.In stories of love and loss, of trauma and hope, told from care homes, living rooms, classrooms and kitchens, Carr discovers that while each of their stories is utterly unique, they are all born out of the same desire for human connection.As Carr interweaves these touching and powerful tales with his own personal narrative, he opens a window onto the inner lives of regular people – the forgotten, misplaced or misjudged – who all feel isolated in some way.Sparking a profound conversation about a universal emotion, which may simply be an inevitable part of life in an increasingly disjointed world, he questions what we can do to build stronger human relationships, and to be a part of something bigger than ourselves.

  Francis Bacon said: “If a man will begin with certainties, he shall end in doubts; but if he will be content to begin with doubts, he shall end in certainties.” 
   
  This book is about the ultimate question. There is nothing that has been pondered more by mankind and nothing more divisive. Is there a God? 
   
  We divide ourselves into groups because of the different answers we have created. Many misunderstand or create concepts of what God actually means and believe it to be the one defined by Christians, Jews or Muslims. And yet, many, when pushed with some profound philosophical questions about the origin of the universe have no answer, other than we came from nothing. 
   
  Did we come from the mind of a creator, or from absolutely nothing? These are our stark choices. To have faith and believe. To deny all and accept existence from nothing. Or to accept we still do not know. What are you?
