DISCLAIMER: The views expressed in this book are solely those of the author and do not necessarily reflect those of the New Patriotic Party. Ghana faces socio-economic problems that require solutions by experienced and committed leadership, not inexperienced and uncommitted leadership. This book is a brief socio-economic analysis of Ghana and a lesson for the NPP as to why it was chased into the bush in 2008, and to serve as a guide in the return of the elephant into the city in 2016. The contract with Ghana is an implied adherence and commitment to certain systematic public policies aimed at quickening the pace of Ghanas socio-economic development for which a political party is elected into office to prosecute. The NDC government has neglected this contract, and the NPP has to revive and prosecute it for the well-being of Ghanaians. The Supreme Court petition of 2012 itself constituted an exonerative trial of the NDC governments narrative about the temperament, character, and disposition of the NPP presidential candidate, Nana Akufo-Addo. The fact that the NDC government is presiding over unprecedented corruption scandals and financial indiscipline has tuned in voters deep desire for change. This book serves as an intervention to help avoid election violence.
If God exists, and God is all powerful and good, why did God create an imperfect world? Does religion have a credible answer? Morality, as secularists know, does not require a deity. Blind faith, as atheists know, often leads to hatred and war. Taking scriptural stories as literal history, as scientists know, borders on the nonsensical. There has to be more. And there is. In their most important sense, these are symbolic psychological stories. Everything that happens - the wars, the joys, the obstacles that are overcome - must occur in one's own soul. In other words, all the great myths and scriptures are how-to manuals for Initiation. In this groundbreaking work, Andrew Cort describes the inner journey of Creation and Return that is revealed by the Greek Myths, the Torah, the Gospels and the Qur'an. He demonstrates the stunning unity of our western religious traditions, whose common aim is to enlighten the soul and restore a sense of meaning to our lives and culture.
“No one who loves elephants or how humans interact with wildlife should pass up Jacob Shell’s remarkable book.” —Dan Flores, author of Coyote America Giants of the Monsoon Forest journeys deep into the mountainous rainforests of Burma and India to explore the world of teak logging elephants and their intriguing alliance with humans. Jacob Shell’s narrative vividly depicts elephants’ extraordinary intelligence, and the complicated bond with individual human riders, a partnership that can last for decades. Giants of the Monsoon Forest reveals an unexpected relationship between evolution in the natural world and political struggles in the human one, while considering how Asia’s secret forest culture might offer a way to help protect the fragile spaces both elephants and humans need to survive.

Art Myers is a Viet Nam veteran with memories. In 2005 he and his wife Linda traveled to Viet Nam with a group led by a psychotherapist who works with veterans affected by Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). From the Mekong Delta in the south, to Hanoi in the north, it was a life-changing journey. Art's story is not unusual. He was a sergeant in the Marine Corps in 1968, a radio repairman stationed at Da Nang during the Tet offensive. He saw only one day of combat, but that day affected every aspect of his life for 35 years. Many veterans suffer from their memories of their time at war. They may bury them, or deny them, or run from them, or act out in other areas of their lives. Alcoholism, drug addiction and suicide rates are higher than average, as are failed relationships and chronic unemployment. Art decided to return to Viet Nam, to overlay the memories of the young man during a terrible time with those of a man in late middle age. It was a good choice for him - and for his family. About the book Art says, "I hope that talking about this journey of healing - and how it has changed me - will help other veterans and their families. The idea of helping even one other veteran stop the nightmares and gain some peace made my story worth sharing."
Elephant tourism is a growing activity in many countries across Asia and Africa and is popular with tourists from all parts of the world. Elephant tourism has grown rapidly, providing the only viable way for elephants and their owners to survive since the banning of logging. Old logging camps have been developed into sanctuaries for some elephants, but many other camps were established as entertainment centres, resulting in serious welfare issues for the elephants and their mahouts. The profits from elephant tourism in Asia have encouraged African operators to follow a similar business model. This book draws attention to the need for a comprehensive and rigorous focus on local solutions to improve the welfare of captive elephants, their mahouts and local residents, and to enhance tourists' experiences of elephant tourism.
