What if I had told you that the mechanism of your brain is like plasticine and could be moulded to your own unique set of beliefs and hence abilities? Could you afford not to even try to step into a new reality? Would you dare?
Ornithology, cultural sociology, & nature conservation mingle in this splendid book. The author spent his boyhood on the bird-rich slopes of the northern parts of the Drakensberg Mountain range. He & his friends frequently ventured into the forests, hunting birds. His strong association with birds developed during that time-but so did his sense of guilt. From this conflict emerged a thoughtful conservationist. Who decided to ultimately write a book.
This led the author into research on how and why birds were given names in his native North Sotho, and why certain birds behaviours were so accurately interpreted by their traditional black neighbours. He soon realized that an enriching relationship existed between birds and people, and that it was a relationship well worth preserving.
A woman with a past, a city with a future, a soccer team chasing glory.
Amidst the tension surrounding the run-up to the 2010 Soccer World Cup in South Africa, one woman discovers her husband is having an affair, another meets up with a university sweetheart and a third heads for a nervous breakdown. Who is the man at the centre of the drama, and does he get to keep his gold?
Ekos Akpokabayen's 2nd book is socia-economic based, with minor traces of socio-politics. It looks at the dynamics of Africa's emerging market, its growth potential & place in the global economic sphere, & the birth of the African Continental Free Trade Area ( AfCFTA); a drive towards the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) initiative and the AU's Agenda 2063 progression.
Ekos tells the African story of regional & continental growth from a perspective of competitiveness, globalization, and geopolitics. Backed by facts & well researched data, he gives thought-provoking narratives of the African economic landscape with policies on money management, global competitiveness, African trade prospects, and intraregional integration, driving the African growth agenda.
Africa has had a lot written about it: from its history to politics and economics, and often these have looked at the negative aspects of this great continent. Often too, they offer prescriptive solutions to our problems without clear in-depth appraisal of the roots of such problems. This book however offers in-depth symptomatic solutions based on past historical occurrences. It delves into Pan-African ideologies and philosophies of our great African Leaders who set the template for freedom, independence and progress that we enjoy today and even looks at the darker era of militarism, coups, liberation struggles and dictatorships, providing convincing insights as to why these became the bane of Africa.
