Zebras Never Die by Sam Mphuthi Pdf

Zebras Never Die is a fictional narrative drawing parallels between developments in the state of Zimbabwe and the history and experiences of an ordinary national, Gura Masango. The main theme of the book is the resilience and humanity of the Bajwe people, the natives of Zimbabwe, as characterised by Gura and his ancestry, under both colonial and postcolonial oppression. The cultural values evident in the work ethic and generosity of Gura and his kinsmen prove to be the ultimate basis for the survival and future prospects of the nation, as opposed to the war of liberation--which, indeed, achieved political freedom and initially seemed to have delivered the promise of everlasting prosperity but was hijacked, through contrived institutional arrangements, by Batho ("father of the people") Mokaba and his cohort, who, for three decades, looted the wealth of the nation and felt unaccountable for the free fall of the economy.

A serial killer who targets twins is loose in New Orleans in this psychological thriller by the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Left to Die. Years ago, Detective Rick Bentz helped put away the notorious serial killer known as 21, who targeted twins about to reach their twenty-first birthday. With merciless precision, 21 would arrange for his victims to die, simultaneously, at the time of their birth. But Brianna Hayward—a New Orleans woman still reeling from the murder of her twin sister—is certain the wrong man is in prison. She’s willing to do anything to convince the police, even if it means trusting a reporter who’s hiding his own secrets. Now Bentz will finally have to face the terrifying possibility that 21 is still at large. Twin sisters from All Saints College have just vanished—on the eve of their twenty-first birthday. And as Bentz and his partner, Reuben Montoya, desperately follow the trail, a killer prepares to unite his next victims in death forever.

Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers by Robert M. Sapolsky Pdf

Renowned primatologist Robert Sapolsky offers a completely revised and updated edition of his most popular work, with over 225,000 copies in print Now in a third edition, Robert M. Sapolsky's acclaimed and successful Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers features new chapters on how stress affects sleep and addiction, as well as new insights into anxiety and personality disorder and the impact of spirituality on managing stress. As Sapolsky explains, most of us do not lie awake at night worrying about whether we have leprosy or malaria. Instead, the diseases we fear-and the ones that plague us now-are illnesses brought on by the slow accumulation of damage, such as heart disease and cancer. When we worry or experience stress, our body turns on the same physiological responses that an animal's does, but we do not resolve conflict in the same way-through fighting or fleeing. Over time, this activation of a stress response makes us literally sick. Combining cutting-edge research with a healthy dose of good humor and practical advice, Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers explains how prolonged stress causes or intensifies a range of physical and mental afflictions, including depression, ulcers, colitis, heart disease, and more. It also provides essential guidance to controlling our stress responses. This new edition promises to be the most comprehensive and engaging one yet.

Dusty Zebra by Clifford D. Simak Pdf

Tales of science fiction and adventure from the Hugo Award–winning author of Way Station and City. The long and prolific career of Clifford D. Simak cemented him as one of the formative voices of the science fiction and fantasy genre. The third writer to be named a Grand Master by the Science Fiction Writers of America, his literary legacy stands alongside those of Robert A. Heinlein and Ray Bradbury. This striking collection of nine tales showcases Simak’s ability to take the everyday and turn it into something truly compelling, taking readers on a long journey in a very short time. In “Dusty Zebra,” Joe discovers a portal that allows him to exchange everyday objects with an entity he can neither see nor hear, and soon learns that one man’s treasure may be another dimension’s trash. In “Retrograde Evolution,” an interplanetary trading vessel tries to figure out how to deal with a remote society that has suddenly decided to become far less civilized. And in “Project Mastodon,” an unusual ambassador from an unheard-of country offers amazing opportunities in a place the modern world can never compete with: the past. Simak’s mastery of the short form is on display in these and six other stories. Each story includes an introduction by David W. Wixon, literary executor of the Clifford D. Simak estate and editor of this ebook.

Stroking the Zebra? by Leslie Corron Robert Leslie Corron,Robert Leslie Corron Pdf

This document is a methodology for trying to understand how I think and why I think as I do. My thinking process is premise based. I operate on the premise that evolutional genetic traits have more or less programmed the basic capabilities and limitations of the starting (initial) conditions of my particular “Human Nature.” From this point – considering the environmental conditions from conception through embryology – all internal ->external responses are learned – given full consideration to the capabilities and limitations mentioned above, of my personal “Human Nature.” I also operate; in the philosophical mode – which I try to maintain at all times, on the premise that I am finite. Being finite limits the data available for making absolute, truthful observations, and therefore decisions. This being the case, I cannot believe or disbelieve anything. Knowing that one cannot function in this limbo, I have formulated premises that I live by. They are somewhat found depending on new data or current situations. Because of this, I find that my premises are sometimes conflicting and contrary to one another. That is just the way it is. I live with it. Author's thought after the fact, shades of Aristotle, Platos, Socrates, Descartes, Spinoza, Hegel, and Peirce, but more primitive, juvenile and sophomoric. But isn't that when we start to realize who we are? A basic primer on how to think.

African Ethics by Munyaradzi Felix Murove Pdf

This is the first comprehensive volume on African ethics, centered on Ubuntu and its relevance today. Important contemporary issues are explored, such as African bioethics, business ethics, traditional African attitudes to the environment, and the possible development of a new form of democracy based on indigenous African political systems. In a world that has become interconnected, this anthology demonstrates that African ethics can make valuable contributions to global ethics. It is not only African academics, students, organizations, or those individuals committed to ethics that are envisaged as the beneficiaries of this book, but all humankind. A number of topics presented here were inspired by a Shona proverb that says, Ndarira imwe hairiri (One brass wire cannot produce a sound). The chorus of voices in African Ethics demonstrates this proverbial truism.
