The ¿successes'' of the green and gene revolutions in agriculture have been greatly compromised by corporate greed explicit in neo-liberal globalization. The right to food of millions of people in the world is being compromised by the profit making antics of corporations like Monsanto. Farmers especially in Africa, Asia and South America are slowly but steadily losing complete control over organic seed management and are being forced to depend on corporate seed companies that are driven by profit accumulation instead of pro-poor agricultural empowerment.Using the WTO,IMF and World Bank, governments in the so called south have been forced to open their markets as developed nations close theirs. This ruse is intended to suffocate economies in the south in the politics of export dumping, TRIPS, subsidies, organic agricultural alienation and extirpation. World over,farmers are protesting against the genetically modified seeds of seed corporations and are advocating for a paradigm shift from genetic to organic agriculture.Are you confused about green and gene revolutions? This book is a must read for you.

For decades radical feminism has been waging a very persistent onslaught on biblical Christianity. This assault is premised on the faulty assumption that biblical Christianity is based on patriarchal oppression and domination and thus needs to be gender-neutralized if not overthrown. As a result, a number of so called gender neutral bibles with translations such as; Judith Christ instead of Jesus Christ , prodigal daughter instead of prodigal son, send you out to fish for people instead of fishers of men among other changes. Radical feminist theology is a clear reflection of the old lie of the serpent; has God said(Genesis 3:1).It is a clear manifestation of Lucifer's antics clearly expressed in the statement; I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High(Isaiah 14:14). This book argues that the Bible teaches that women are equal to men as human beings. Husbands are to love their wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it..(Eph. 5:25-28). No man should ever treat a woman with contempt, or abuse her in any way. All women should be treated with respect and gentleness by men.

When Museveni captured power in 1986 and promised Ugandans a fundamental change, many Uganda were optimistic that the tyrannical days of dictators like Amin were over. After decades in power, Museveni''s government is evidence of the fact that Uganda simply made a transition from AMIN to AMINISM. President Museveni''s past ¿no party democracy'' and now present pseudo multiparty democratic system has been implicated in innumerable human rights abuses, election rigging and corruption scandals amidst the aloofness of America and Britain. Despite the numerous human rights abuses and corruption tendencies, Museveni''s neo-liberal conduit government has managed to stay in power because western financial support. This book situates the hypocrisy of Museveni''s government in the neo-liberal ideology of creating conduit states for primitive capitalist accumulation. The book shows how Museveni was created and protected by the Anglo-American neo-liberal Alliance. The book also shows how the Americans have used Pentecostalism to sustain Museveni''s dictatorship through Pavlovian techniques.

The problematic that has gripped the Sub-Saharan African milieu and has perturbed philosophers, political scientists, economists, sociologists, and development partners, intellectually and Splanchnically , is the combined phenomenon of corruption, nepotism, embezzlement graft, abuse of office and cronyism. While Sub-Saharan Africa has for a number of decades received substantial chunks of aid, ostensibly to improve living standards of the masses, in the majority of countries, living standards seem to be falling and the numbers of those who are destitute increasing. In addition even Ombudsmen and other integrity monitoring institutions, set up to ensure that ethical standards are observed in both public and private domains seems to be whipping a dead horse . The book critically assesses the fundamental causes of the integrity crisis in which Sub-Saharan is currently enmeshed.

The fundamental bottleneck behind the persistent sinful behavior of today's Christians is the Original Sin doctrine. According to this bizarre doctrine, man is born with a corrupted nature from Adam. Proponents of the original sin heresy tactfully argue that human beings are born in sin, get saved in their sin and die in their sin and go to heaven in their sins . They opine that a ¿born again Christian' who commits suicide goes to heaven. Can you imagine! They are also not shamed to say that being a ¿born again' Christian rapist , murderer, porn addict and thug does not deprive one of heaven. Christianity has become a source of ridicule because of Original Sin preachers. Non-Christians look a Christians as big hypocrites because they do not see a difference between them and the ¿born again' Christians. Original sin preachers do not understand that grace produces works and human freedom does not negate God's sovereignty. This book takes you through the origins and rebuttals of the doctrine of Original Sin. After reading this book, you must decide whether to follow the bible alone or concoctions of carnal preachers.

This book is a simplified introduction to the philosophical tradition called pragmatism, the only major philosophical tradition to have developed entirely in the United States. While the philosophers we will look at in this book are all lumped together as ¿pragmatists,¿ there is no doctrine that they all have in common. In fact, ¿pragmatism¿ means something slightly different for each one of them. The book examines various classical and contemporary American pragmatists. Are you confused about pragmatism? This book is a must read for you.
