The story mainly concentrates on China's attitude towards Human Rights and that country's lack of respect for life generally.The book covers what happened in the Hong Kong riots and the manipulation by authorities to ensure they could crush any resistance without the implication of using heavy-handed tactics or that they lacked concern for Human Rights. It covers the mental scars that many were left with after being forced to flee Hong Kong to ensure they were not locked up in jail for life on false or illegitimate charges, and the ramifications their actions had on their families, left behind in mainland China.It describes the lengths the authorities would go to eliminate religion in China and God's infliction of curses on China's people as a punishment for their lack of faith in Him. It raises human rights issues in China, and the attempts made to replace the worship of God with the worship of those in authority, who believe they are Gods.Many who protested in Hong Kong had to flee that country, to prevent being persecuted by the authorities. Their actions, unfortunately, had dramatic repercussions for their families left behind in China. Many ended up with depression and the book tries to address this topic from both medical and religious points of view.The religious doctrines covered in the book are depression and the act of killing or taking a life, especially during wars.The book covers China's buildup of its military strength its invasion of countries in the Pacific and Taiwan and its control of the Pacific Region.It concludes with China being taken to the International Human Rights Commission and God finally resolving the conflict between himself and those that would be God, making it clear who has the power and who is really in control.

A BREAKTHRU HISTORICAL NOVEL THAT BRINGS NEW DEPTH AND INSIGHT INTO THE LIFE OF THE MAN WHO IS ABOUT TO TRANSFORM THE WORLD INTO THE PARADISE MAN HAS FAILED TO EVEN COME CLOSE TO ACHIEVING.As this is a book about Jesus, most of us will already have a pretty good idea about what we think and feel on this subject. Our knowledge may come simply from what we have heard or read as we pass through a society that is filled with information about him, or we may have studied the bible in depth. Most of us will be somewhere in between, but all of us will have a feeling we know about him.In truth, even if we have a scholar's knowledge of the bible it will be unique. Even among Christians, each and every one of the billions of Christians will have a different sum of understanding about God and Jesus. This is the nature of human life.MY LIFE is written so that if you knew nothing about Jesus Christ when you started, by the end you would know the heart of the bible, you would know all you need to know.

While working women have achieved much, the issues of the right to work, equal opportunities and rewards, healthy work environment, unionisation and, in particular, the problems of 'the double working life' are still very much alive.In Women at Work Kaye Hargreaves examines the crucial issues, many of them forcefully articulated in workers' own lively accounts. She shows that the dramatically increased participation of women in Australia 's paid workforce constitutes a major challenge to organisation in the workplace and to traditional attitudes about women's role in the society at large. The difficulties in the relationship between women's movement and the labour movement will be resolved only as women workers develop new forms of organisation which reach beyond the conventional confines of unionism to change fundamental social relationships. Women at Work also documents the emergence of this process during the past decade and points to directions for its further development.

Les Japonais et les Chinois ont en commun l'utilisation d'idéogrammes pour s'exprimer. Mais le plus intéressant c'est que ces idéogrammes transmettent justement des idées. C'est là qu'intervient la finesse dans la compréhension de la langue qui se rapporte au ressenti de chacun des peuples et à leur civilisation.On pourrait schématiser en disant que les Chinois sont un peuple lié à la terre tandis que les Japonais sont soumis aux aléas des océans et des mers. Ainsi l'agriculture et l'élevage sont plus ancrés dans la langue chinoise. Le cheval est incontournable avec le cochon, la volaille, le canard laqué, etc. La maison est en bois avec des meubles. Les Chinois sont avant tout des marchands. Le Japonais sera davantage orienté vers la riziculture et la pêche. Les chaumières aux toits en paille de riz, le tatami, le sushi, etc. L'habitation est sobre sans meuble, simplement un foyer au milieu de la pièce. Ils sont à l'origine plutôt des guerriers.En ce qui concerne l'hospitalité, le Chinois vous accueille à plusieurs avec un extrait de thé en suivant un certain rite, le Japonais sera seul avec vous buvant du thé vert ou du saké. Le Chinois vous recevra au restaurant, le Japonais vous conseillera les onsen, les bains chauds.Ces différences notoires se retrouvent dans le langage où chaque élément prend une signification particulière qui prête parfois à sourire ; finalement en ayant la même écriture, ils ont du mal à se comprendre. Témoin cet ouvrage qui pourra servir de référence aux étudiants des deux langues.
Living in Fear is a reminder of the threat to democracy posed by the current rise in extreme right-wing politicians and political parties in the Western World. July 22, 2022, the Spanish Parliament approved a new Historic Memory law that, among other measures, declared Franco's government illegal, nullified the rulings of the dictatorship's courts and made the government responsible for recovering the bodies of the hundreds of thousands of people killed during the civil war and the subsequent dictatorship.85 years after Franco's death, it appeared that justice would finally come to all Spaniards, without revenge or reprisals. It might not be so, as the recent July 24 2023 national elections saw an active rise in the number of extreme right-wing members of Parliament. A wave of great unrest and fear is again sweeping the country.Living in Fear, the single volume updated edition of Damnatio Memoriae, is directed at drawing readers' attention to the Francoist genocide of Spain, the pre-WWII human catastrophe that served as a testing ground for Hitler's forthcoming holocaust.

Like, 'Jason' can be read for sound and vision, alone. Better understood if follow prose biographies.

This book exploring the generational ties of a family across generations: various narrators tell their struggles with humour, comedy, and tragedy, where traditional storytelling, asserts the eternity of the soul as zero time.Because the soul is everlasting and reincarnates, every child is a reincarnated ancestor that returns from the eternal to the physical plane. The soul in the body is manifested from spiritual to physical being that is made flesh. It echoes the traditional black Zeitgeist that black people do not die, along the lines: "ln principio erat Verbum et Deus erat Verbum". In the second tenet of Ras Tafari: Almighty God is a living man!
Joy is the mother of twins doing their first year in university. While working in the banking sector, she obtained her Commercial Law Diploma 2000. After fifteen years in banking, she opted to be at home with her children. Joy has a passion for encouraging exploring and researching on real matters such as nature and matters that make our life comfortable. It was while sourcing suitable reading matter (i.e. books that are both educational and fun) that she wanted to make a contribution towards such reading matters to children. Despite living in South Africa all her life, Joy finally went on her first wildlife Safari in 2013. She found the whole experience very exhilarating and felt a deep spiritual connection with the bush and the wildlife. She found herself thinking about all the children (both in South Africa and beyond) who would never be able to access such an amazing experience. Inspired by her experience and driven by her passion to promote exploring among young children, Joy wrote "My great super Safari in South Africa '' It is her hope that through this book, children will access a world that is beyond their reach.
