Malo's Amazing Adventures! - Excitement Along the River by Washington M. Osiro Pdf

In this first episode of Malo's Amazing Adventures!, our global explorer visits the village of Apondo, Kenya where his father was born and grew up as a little boy. During the visit, Malo strikes an immediate friendship with his cousins Omondi and Omolo; friendships that allow him to experience village life through the eyes of his cousins; a life at once familiar yet remarkably different from what the young American is used to. A day spent with his dad and his cousins herding the family's livestock provides Malo with an experience of a lifetime. "Andrew and Kiersten will not believe when I tell them about the day I spent with Omondi and Omolo looking after the animals," Malo excitedly tells his dad. "Maybe they will," replies his dad. Read on to find out what our young explorer discovers and experiences in the 'simple and familiar' plains of western Kenya while looking after the family's livestock!

Malo's Amazing Adventures! by Washington M. Osiro,Malo O. Pickett-Osiro Pdf

Discovering Kwanzaa and Beyond with Friends is the 2nd book in the Malo’s Amazing Adventures! series. It is dedicated to Malo’s 4th Grade Class of 2012 at Wicklund Elementary School and to Kylie Johnson and the students of Woodside Parents Nursery School Class of 2013. Both classes were gracious enough to invite me to their respective class to speak about Kwanzaa. The book is also dedicated to all the other inquisitive little souls who are not afraid to ask the questions: How? What? When? Who? Where? and the all-important Why? While preparing to speak to the two classes, Malo’s father discovers that Kwanzaa is more than a cultural celebration. It embodies principles or “nguzo” that are universal, enhance personal growth and development and promote good citizenship. In the process, he discovers and shares the richness of Kwanzaa and its appeal beyond the traditional and mainly African-American audience. Maybe you don’t speak or understand a foreign language such as Kiswahili. Maybe you have difficulties pronouncing foreign words such as “eng-oo-zoo saba” or “vitu saba” i.e. the seven principles and symbols of Kwanzaa – all Swahili words. Don’t let that prevent you from learning about the richness and beauty of celebrations such as Kwanzaa and their relevance to everyday life. Read on to discover the joy of learning a different language or experiencing a different culture.

The Arguments of Aquinas by J.J. MacIntosh Pdf

The Arguments of Aquinas is intended for readers with philosophical interests, who may not be specialists in medieval philosophy. Some think that a medieval saint must be, as such, wrong, dated, and boring; others feel that a saint, any saint, must be right, relevant, and inspirational. Both groups are likely to misread Aquinas, if indeed they read him at all. The works of great philosophers are products of their times, but that does not lessen their value for us. We profit by reading the works of St Thomas in the same interested but critical way that we read the works of our contemporaries. MacIntosh does not hesitated to compare Thomas's arguments with those of later philosophers as well as with those of his contemporaries and earlier philosophers. He chooses topics from a variety of still interesting problem areas: the existence and attributes of God, including God's foreknowledge and human free will, causality and the origin of the universe, time and necessity, human souls, angels, and the problem of evil. Additionally, the volume looks at his views on honesty and lying, and on human sexuality, on which he is, as ever, philosophically interesting whether or not we accept his conclusions.

Of Stones and Man by Jean Kerisel Pdf

Of Stones and Man explores the many errors of judgement made by civilizations both ancient and modern across the world. Arrogance and a penchant for excess drove mankind to build ever greater and more ambitious edifices. The author analyzes these works from a scientific and historically-sensitive perspective, highlighting the hydro-geological background to repeated infamous disasters, from the faults inherent in the Sphinx to the leaning Tower of Pisa. Beautifully illustrated throughout, Of Stones and Man is a testament to the impermanence of our surroundings. It questions how the earth and its resources have borne the cumulative burden placed upon it over the ages by one civilization after another, and how, in turn, the earth has exacted its inevitable revenge on the great constructions of our ancestors. Of Stones and Man is the final work of Jean Kerisel (1908-2005) who served as President of the International Society for Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering from 1973 to 1977, and who worked worldwide as a consultant on many ambitious engineering projects. Driven by his great passion for Ancient Builders and Egyptology, Kerisel here extends his professional knowledge into the realms of historical architecture.
