Life/Death Rhythms of Capitalist Regimes - Debt before Dishonour: PART I HISTORICAL RULER CYCLES

Life/Death Rhythms of Capitalist Regimes - Debt before Dishonour explores the cyclical theory of cultural development, with particular attention paid to the introduction of democratic forms of government in the British Empire and the United States republic. The cyclical theory allows a forecast of the fading of the dominance of the United States as an imperial power. Similar to cultural survival of the loss of dominance experienced by the British Empire after the Great War, the United States will survive in a new form. Which superpower will take over the reins remains to be seen, but the likely contender is the People's Republic of China. This conclusion and the timing will allow long-term planning by corporations and governments. In the age of political correctness, it is unlikely that readers will experience any such forecasts by government bodies. Throughout history, societies have used and abused debt, revolted and warred over debt, and have forbidden usury. But the modern financial world as we know it simply cannot exist without usury. Since the 1400s, modern governments have found new ways to expand debt to produce modern economies, which are still subject to the age-old basic principle of debt - that it needs to be repaid or dire consequences ensue. "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." George Santayana (1863 - 1952)

Invitation to Philosophy: Epistemology and Metaphysics

This book is aimed at university undergraduates in philosophy (e.g. Philosophy 101) and those hoping to become such (UK A level candidates, Pre U students, those taking the International Baccalaureate and the like). An effort has also been made to write in such a way as to provide an invitation to the general reader to learn more about philosophy together with its historical and current importance. In particular, the role philosophy has had and is having in giving shape to conceptual frameworks with respect to knowledge about what can or must exist. Attention is given as well to demonstrating the power of philosophy to deconstruct and expose weaknesses and strengths in new and long-standing modes of thought. Thus it is hoped to provide the reader, not only with a greater understanding of epistemology and metaphysics, but also with increased power to analyze other fields of enquiry as well. Invitation to Philosophy divides its presentation into three parts: "Epistemology," "Metaphysics," and "An Invitation to Plato." The first part addresses questions about the nature of knowledge and about how one can know. In the section on metaphysics, the presentation considers, "What is existence?" and "What can exist?" It focuses further on the philosophy of religion and the philosophy of mind. The final part returns to the influence of perhaps of the founding father of the Western intellectual tradition-Plato. The well-used maxim that by standing on the shoulders of giants one can 'see' further, than if one's feet are set firmly on the ground is also applicable in this context. Keeping one's balance here, however, is not always easy - philosophy can be disturbing at times..

Now more than ever, altruistic approaches to leadership are needed in business, industry, government, and in the community to help foster and promote peace, moderation, and goodness for all humankind. In one of the first books ever written on the altruistic service aspects of Prophet Muhammad's leadership, author Ismail Noor provides an easy-to-read, diligently researched, and time-tested approach that has been presented and shared with live audiences in conferences, training sessions, and workshops at all levels. Ismail Noor's penetrative insight into Prophet Muhammad's leadership thrust in the Arabian Peninsula is well-researched and well-tested. Having himself used his written material in conferences, seminars, and workshops throughout the region, his contribution to the development of leadership competency among executives and managers in the public, private, and institutional sectors has been admirable. This book is certainly useful as a compendium guide for all leaders, based on the Prophet of Islam's universal model.-Professor Datuk Dr. Abdul Jamil bin Mukmin, Chairman, Malaysian Institute of Historical and Patriotism Studies This guidebook on altruistic service leadership is timely and relevant for twenty-first century leaders at all levels. In an era where leadership is oftentimes fraught with pretensions, hypocrisy, and blameworthiness, it is heartening to be guided by a book for leaders of multi-type organizations and entities, benchmarked on the altruistic leadership model of the Prophet Muhammad.-Dr. Ron Liamsi, Director, Ar-Rashidin Centre for Leadership and Followership, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Then suddenly, she seems to be totally winning the best life chance of the year.

Global Sustainable and Healthy Ecosystems, Climate, and Food Systems

American agriculture is highly efficient: only two percent of the population is directly involved in agricultural production yet capable of outputting an abundance of high-quality and safe food at a low price to feed the rest of the United States while also supporting robust exports and maintaining sustainability of the ecosystem and environment. But, it's not enough. In Global Sustainable and Healthy Ecosystems, Climate, and Food Systems, author Dr. Ashok Alva communicates that additional strategies must be developed to increase food production and food quality as the world population increases to nine billion within the next few years. He shows how this needs to be accomplished with the available natural resources, ensuring the practices will have a minimum impact on ecosystems and the environment. Offering a look at the big-picture issues affecting ecosystems, food systems, and climate, Alva presents a compilation of up-to-date information on the major challenges the world faces in protecting the ecosystem, environment, and climate to support vibrant food systems.
