Tech Billionaires

Tech Billionaires

Autor: Lewis D. Solomon

Número de Páginas: 232

In the first decade of the twenty-first century a new wave of thinking has emerged from tech billionaires that may shape the way private capital gets invested to tackle social problems. These entrepreneurs broke the business mold in the 1980s and 1990s and are now trying to break the traditional pattern of philanthropy pioneered by Andrew Carnegie and John D. Rockefeller, Sr. some one hundred years ago. Combining billions of dollars of their personal capital with new ideas, cutting-edge businesslike techniques, media and marketing savvy, the tech benefactors profiled in this book are attacking some of the globe's most intractable societal problems. In trying to make a difference in the world, these new philanthropists, dubbed "philanthrocapitalists" by rhe author seek to break down traditional barriers dividing business, charity, and government. As a result of the rapid wealth creation in recent years, the world now boasts 1,125 billionaires, many of whom are self-made, according to the Forbes' 2008 list, including Bill Gates, Pierre Omidyar, Jeffrey Skoll, Stepehn Case, Sergey Brin, Larry Page, and more. Their massive wealth has created new philanthropic challenges. Imaginative...

In Pursuit of Meaning to Riddles

Autor: Robert Mazibuko

Número de Páginas: 365

In Pursuit of Meaning to Riddles By: Robert Mazibuko The writing of a story of one’s life may be regarded as being halfway between being objective and being subjective. But if the inner principle of one’s life is in contradiction to their outer behavior, one has to face difficult life patterns. Such patterns have a tendency of engendering dire consequences for the individual. However, if one takes life in hand and sincerely pursues a path of adhering to inner principle and belief, they can then easily answer: “This is what I attempted to do with all talents I had been granted to work with in my life.” This book pursues a path of accounting for behavior by relating that to the associated principle of life, and tracing such patterns in so far as they explain the inner principle or how far they deviate there from. It is brief but the idea is there.

Experience the Legends of Orkney trilogy—the entire series all together for the first time. In The Red Sun, you’ll be introduced to middle school student Sam Baron, who gets the shock of his life when a strange dwarf shows up with the claim that Sam is from a magical realm called Orkney. Then Sam’s friends are taken prisoner, and he follows their captors to Orkney—embarking upon a journey to rescue his friends, uncover the truth about his past, and combat an ancient curse that threatens to destroy the land. In Kalifus Rising, it’s Sam who’s in trouble this time: Imprisoned by Catriona, leader of the Volgrim Witches, he finds the darker side of his half-god, half-witch heritage released, and he fears he might destroy the very land he’s just saved. He believes his only hope for salvation lies with his three best friends and a mystical artifact known as the Moon Pearl; other forces are at work in Orkney's shadows, however—forces that could help free Sam, or condemn him to the darkness forever. Finally, in The Raven God, an army of red giants gather in the Eighth Realm of Musspell, determined to destroy Orkney—and it’s all Sam’s fault. After all, he took Odin’s ...

Originally published in 1996 Religious Higher Education in the United States looks at the issue of higher education and a lack of a clearly articulated purpose, an issue particularly challenging to religiously-affiliated institutions.

The greater part of the volume consists of 24 chapters, each of which begins with a historical essay followed by annotated bibliographical entries covering primary and secondary sources dating back to 1986 on various denomination-connected institutions.

The Tears of Pan

The Tears of Pan

Autor: Michael Finelli

Número de Páginas: 123

There is no way to escape this fate This maze of languished torment Every turn compounds confusion The son of Pasiphae waits in twisting labyrinthian tunnels Ready to cut the string of order by which one strides Like the son of Pasiphae, poet Michael Finelli keeps readers suspended in the beginning of his debut poetry collection, The Tears of Pan. We’re caught in a world consumed by despair and loathing, longing for hope and light. To find our way out of this maze, we must recognize and overcome the war waging inside all of us. Wrought with myth and storytelling, The Tears of Pan delves into Greek tragedies to explore humanity’s depths and self-deceptions. From Prometheus and Pan to Persephone and Hades, mythology becomes the backdrop for our daily struggles to play out against. These narrative and free verse poems are rich with symbolism and metaphor, crafted to juxtapose myth and reality, what we tell ourselves and what is true. While this collection encourages us to accept our personal truths, it is also a warning: “Time slithers, a scythe in the tall grass.” We have a choice: succumb to hatred and endure our lives in cruelty, or embrace kindness and live peacefully....

Número de Páginas: 437

Olga Sedakova stands out among contemporary Russian poets for the integrity, erudition, intellectual force, and moral courage of her writing. After years of flourishing quietly in the late Soviet underground, she has increasingly brought her considered voice into public debates to speak out for freedom of belief and for those who have been treated unjustly. This volume, the first collection of scholarly essays to treat her work in English, assesses her contributions as a poet and as a thinker, presenting far-reaching accounts of broad themes and patterns of thought across her writings as well as close readings of individual texts. Essayists from Russia, Ukraine, Germany, Italy, and the United States show how Sedakova has contributed to ongoing aesthetic and cultural debates. Like Sedakova's own work, the volume affirms the capacity of words to convey meaning and to change our understanding of life itself. The volume also includes dozens of elegant new translations of Sedakova's poems.

This is a collection of interviews with 26 writers of China's "zhiqing" generation, relatively young artists who participated in the Cultural Revolution as teen-age Red Guards, suffered through the subsequent rustication of intellectual youth, and eventually returned to relatively normal lives, but always with a tragic hiatus haunting their formative years. While one goal of Professor Leung is to introduce to the West an important group of writers little-known outside China, she also aims to succeed, through the interviews, in providing a special perspective on the devastating political history of China since the 1970s years through the eyes of its keenest observers and in offering a perspective on the social, political and cultural milieu of the period.

SAVANTING: Outperforming your Potential

Autor: Lauren Holmes

Número de Páginas: 329

This penetrating comparative analysis of Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, Oprah Winfrey, and other superachievers revealed an astonishing truth. Incredibly, they all deployed the same success strategy – a strategy which Savanting arms everyone to duplicate. In actuality, these illustrious careers demonstrate a new way of operating. Savanting: Outperforming your Potential unveils an unprecedented, “biology-based” protocol for achieving one’s most sought-after career and life goals. Imagine what you could accomplish with biological maximization. This breakthrough protocol was developed over the decades of this author’s career maximization work. Her real-life experimentation was informed by her degree in bio-anthropology and her own innate predisposition for this work. Famous superachievers are not the only ones to use this remarkable achievement-enhancing methodology. Surprisingly, it is also behind the unexplained superskills of savants. It enables them to “outperform their potential” to achieve incredible feats of genius from deficient brains theoretically incapable of them. Persuasive arguments suggest that this biology-driven protocol makes...

The Slave's Rebellion

The Slave's Rebellion

Autor: Adélékè Adéèkó

Número de Páginas: 230

Episodes of slave rebellions such as Nat Turner's are central to speculations on the trajectory of black history and the goal of black spiritual struggles. Using fiction, history, and oral poetry drawn from the United States, the Caribbean, and Africa, this book analyzes how writers reinterpret episodes of historical slave rebellion to conceptualize their understanding of an ideal "master-less" future. The texts range from Frederick Douglass's The Heroic Slave and Alejo Carpentier's The Kingdom of this World to Yoruba praise poetry and novels by Nigerian writers Adebayo Faleti and Akinwumi Isola. Each text reflects different "national" attitudes toward the historicity of slave rebellions that shape the ways the texts are read. This is an absorbing book about the grip of slavery and rebellion on modern black thought.

Memories of Africa: Events Experienced in Southern Africa By: Robert Mazibuko The teaching of the Bahá’í Faith in Southern Africa continued regardless of the fact that we were in fear that growth might have been arrested, for a time, if the pioneers were to be sent out of the country. We were not a contra culture, but a culture that grew in friendship and peace among the Bahá’ís as they came out of obscurity in the mid-eighties. This story is about those times and the memories that were etched in our minds. If we forgot such memories, we would have forgotten ourselves. We are awed by the audacity of the early believers in teaching their Faith and their steadfastness in pursuing life according to Bahá’í ideals.
