Astronomers are on the verge of observing The Big Bang, that miraculous burst of light that gave birth to our universe. What if you were the first? That's the question that lies at the heart of James Lake's latest novel, an alchemy of science, spirituality, and poetic storytelling. It follows the cosmic quest of young Jason Heelstone, troubled prodigy and novice cosmologist, who seeks to determine the true nature of light and thereby discover the source of all life. Visionary. Controversial. And so original as to challenge all of us to imagine this world anew. This is a must read for anyone who'd like to develop a better understanding of how life as we know it began, and find renewed personal meaning in the process. Give it a try. Begin your own journey now.

Daphne Sheldrick's best-selling love story of romance, life and elephants, An African Love Story: Love, Life and Elephants is an incredible story from Africa's greatest living conservationist. A typical day for Daphne involves rescuing baby elephants from poachers; finding homes for orphan elephants, all the while campaigning the ever-present threat of poaching for the ivory trade. An African Love Story is the incredible memoir of her life. It tells two stories - one is the extraordinary love story which blossomed when Daphne fell head over heels with Tsavo Game Park and its famous warden, David Sheldrick. The second is the love story of how Daphne and David, who devoted their lives to saving elephant orphans, at first losing every infant under the age of two until Daphne at last managed to devise the first-ever milk formula which would keep them alive. 'Compulsively readable', Mail on Sunday 'An enchanting memoir', Telegraph Daphne Sheldrick has spent her entire life in Kenya. For over 25 years, she and her husband, David, the famous founder of the the giant Tsavo National Park, raised and rehabilitated back into the wild orphans of misfortune from many different wild species. These included elephants, rhinos, buffaloes, zebra, eland, kudu, impala, warthogs and many other smaller animals. In 2006 she was made Dame Commander of the British Empire by the Queen.

There is no papal document that has generated as much interest, controversy, and debate in recent times as Pope Francis's Amoris Laetitia. This document, which came out of two very divisive synods of Catholic bishops and leaders in Rome in 2014 and 2015, will probably be the most discussed document ever produced by a pope in modern Catholicism on marriage and family life. This volume has gathered seminal commentaries on Amoris Laetitia by African Catholic theologians, social scientists, and pastoral workers. They offer African theological and pastoral responses to the principles and practices proposed by Pope Francis and the Synod on the family on such contested issues as same-sex relations, divorce and remarriage, and reception and denial of Holy Communion in the church, among other divisive issues. These important essays and commentaries show the strengths and weaknesses of this papal commentary and point out the missing link in the global conversation on marriage, family, and same-sex relations. Their argument for the inclusion of African perspectives and moral traditions in the search for a third way in finding an inclusive and integrated pastoral art of accompaniment is very compelling. The authors here also call for the inclusion of Africa's own unique challenges--like polygamy, childless marriages, and the impact of migration, civil conflict, diseases, ecological and population crises, and the rights of African women--in the global discussion on marriage and family life. They also challenge uncritical cliches in world Christianity that Africa's opposition to same-sex marriages (or Western propaganda about population or birth control and contraception) are conservative, while showing diverse African conversations on these topics in the search for abundant life on this beautiful continent.

This is an educational book for those who are in a relationship, whether they are married or not. As long as they are in a relationship, they need to know about these things; also it is not only for men but also for females because some women have no idea what to expect from their man. This will help them find a basic foundation of what to expect from their man, as this also helps man to know what to do for their woman. If relationships are not solved and if people are not educated about relationships, this world will never be at peace because it is all because of relationships. We have all these problems we are facing nowadays, as the worlds problem started with two people who were in a relationship, which was written in the Bible. If they both knew what their responsibilities were in their relationship, the woman would have not gone and searched for food while the man was home sitting. I believe that if couples could know what they are supposed to do and what they are not supposed to do in relationship, we will make the world a better place to live.

Binyavanga Wainaina tumbled through his middle-class Kenyan childhood out of kilter with the world around him.This world came to him as a chaos of loud and colourful sounds: the hair dryers at his mother's beauty parlour, black mamba bicycle bells, mechanics in Nairobi, the music of Michael Jackson - all punctuated by the infectious laughter of his brother and sister. He could fall in with their patterns, but it would take him a while to carve out his own. In this vivid and compelling debut, Wainaina takes us through his school days, his failed attempt to study in South Africa, a moving family reunion in Uganda, and his travels around Kenya.The landscape in front of him always claims his main attention, but he also evokes the shifting political scene that unsettles his views on family, tribe, and nationhood. Throughout, reading is his refuge and his solace. And when, in 2002, a writing prize comes through, the door is opened for him to pursue the career that perhaps had been beckoning all along. Resolutely avoiding stereotype and cliche, Wainaina paints every scene in One Day I Will Write About This Place with a highly distinctive and hugely memorable brush.

This book traces the lives of the author and other African-American women she interviewed about their African-American fathers.The author states that the most powerful relationship an African-American woman will ever have with a male is the one she has or doesn't have with her father. Whether present or absent Houston-Little asserts: fathers impact their daughter's lives in ways that sometimes defy description.If young African-American girls grow up with a loving, involved father in her life, the young girl seems to do well and lead a balanced life. She doesn't appear to be haunted by serious emotional and physical illnesses.While on the other hand, when a young girl does not have any relationship with her father or one that she perceives is less than adequate, serious issues may arise. Often a relationship that is perceived as less than adequate is as devastating as not having a relationship with her father at all.If a young girl's relationship with her father is non-existent or less than adequate, it is at this point that the "drama" appears to begin."Drama" refers to a series of actions, reactions that the young girl, adolescent, soon to be adult female initiates and responds to a result of her perception.Perceptions that lead to "drama" are that the young girl in question believes her father does not care/love her. She may also believe that she can't trust anyone, especially men. No matter how hard she tries, she may also believe she'll never be good enough in any tasks she undertakes.These different "scenes," frames of reference affect the young girl and all those with whom she interacts. It's almost as though the young girl has a script from which she takes her cues. Often no one with whom she interacts even has a clue that a script even exists.This kind of miscuing or absence of cues for the unsuspecting participants, friend, husband, lover, son, professional associate, more often than not, leads to conflictual emotional relationships. Other relationships end abruptly, the young girl or adolescent or adult has no clue why.Some insights into how we construct our inner thinking, what these thoughts are based on help us all to negotiate successful relationships. This book explores the author's and other women's perceptions of their "drama" with their fathers.The effects of the "drama," misunderstandings and the inability to emotionally connect are explored.Hope springs eternal as these women and I look at ways to gradually change the direction of absent or "less than adequate relationships" between fathers and daughters.Finally, the writer suggests ways that anyone interested in the health and strength of African-American families can help to accomplish that goal.Stronger, healthier individuals make stronger, healthier families. Stronger, healthier families make stronger, healthier communities. Everyone stands to benefit.

Jolenes life while growing up was one of abuse and torment. She never felt she belonged. To her, she always felt there was something missing in her life even as a small child. After hours of conversations with Jolene, I have come to the conclusion that she has proven to me she was reincarnated from Soma, a young African girl somewhere in Africa. Dante was reincarnated from Kahari. Kahari was an African warrior, so in this life, he has become a warrior in blue. Jolene was so forthcoming about her life. The stories never varied. Dante was a nonbeliever until the very end.
