As the newly appointed minister of education in Sierra Leone, David Moinina Sengeh assumed that the administration he served - not to mention his family and friends - shared his conviction that all girls belong in the classroom. He was shocked to learn that many of those closest to him, including a member of his own family, were against lifting a long-standing policy banning pregnant girls from school. Radical Inclusion is the dramatic narrative of Sengehs drive to guarantee pregnant girls right to an education. His story functions as a parable that can help us all advocate for change by reimagining the systems that perpetuate exclusion. The specifics of his efforts in Sierra Leone are captivating, and the lessons Sengeh shares are universal. In addition to the candid account of his quest for reform, he offers stories and perspective from other parts of his life, drawing on his experiences encountering racial profiling as a Harvard student, developing cutting-edge prosthetic limbs at MIT, and working to combat algorithmic bias as a data scientist. Sengeh offers readers a road map for pursuing radical inclusion in their own lives and work - from identifying exclusions, to building coalitions and adapting to a new normal. His book is essential reading for modern leaders or anyone who hopes to help unleash the power of a world that is truly, radically inclusive. Autorid: David Moinina Sengeh
The diaries of A. C. Benson, poet and educationalist, illuminate a career at the heart of the Edwardian establishment, and a tortured private life. Introduction, footnotes, chronology.A. C. Benson (1862-1925), novelist, poet (he wrote Land of Hope and Glory), educationalist and Master of Magdalene College, Cambridge, kept a voluminous diary for most of his life. Considered too controversial at the time, it was sealed up after his death. Only now, with the publication of this extensive selection, can his witty and acute judgements on people, institutions and issues including Henry James, Thomas Hardy, Queen Victoria, Dean Inge, Balfour, Asquith, Eton and Cambridge be fully appreciated. He paints an endlessly fascinating and often very funny picture of a public life at the heart of the Edwardian literary, educational, church and political establishments; but also of a private life riven by the pressures of unconsummated romantic attachments to young men, and by attacks of appalling depression, an illness then barely understood. Historians Eamon Duffy and Ronald Hyam made this 300,000-word selection, adding a substantial introduction, footnotes, chronology, index and photographs. It is presented as two hardbacks in a slipcase. Autorid: A.C. Benson, Eamon Duffy, Ronald Hyam

At the foot of Mount Sinai, a nation met its God in thunder and fire. From that covenant flowed the faith of Abraham, Moses, and the prophets-fulfilled, not replaced, in Christ.But somewhere between the martyrs and the modern West, that truth was blurred. Politicians and pastors began speaking of a "Judeo-Christian" civilization-a phrase born not on Sinai, but in Washington.The Hyphenated Heresy challenges the myth of the hyphen, tracing how it reshaped Christian identity, redefined the Church's witness, and bound modern faith to political Zionism.
Introduction to Nubian GoatsUnderstanding the BreedNubian goats stand among the most recognizable and beloved dairy breeds in the world, known for their long, pendulous ears, distinctive Roman noses, and charismatic personalities. They are the kind of goats that capture attention instantly-elegant yet hardy, expressive yet manageable, and capable of thriving in both small homesteads and large commercial operations. When people begin exploring the idea of keeping goats for milk, breeding, lifestyle, or farm diversification, Nubians frequently appear at the top of the list because they embody a combination of beauty, performance, and adaptability rarely matched by other dairy breeds. This chapter introduces you to the essence of Nubian goats: where they come from, what makes them special, and how their characteristics shape everything from their care routines to their suitability for different farming goals.At their core, Nubians are a dual-purpose breed valued deeply for their high-butterfat milk, friendly temperaments, and natural tolerance for warm climates. They are expressive animals-vocal, affectionate, and interactive-making them excellent additions not only to functional farms but also to family-oriented homesteads where daily human interaction is part of the rhythm. Their versatility allows them to serve in dairy operations, breeding programs, meat production lines, or hybrid systems where milk and offspring sales work hand-in-hand. Understanding the unique nature of this breed from the beginning sets the stage for successful management across all the chapters that follow.Origins and Historical BackgroundThe history of Nubian goats stretches back centuries, woven through ancient trade routes, desert cultures, and early agricultural innovations. While today's modern Nubian goat is primarily associated with the United States and Europe, its foundational bloodlines originated from diverse regions across North Africa, the Middle East, and India. These early goats were brought together through a long and complex process of crossbreeding, trade exchange, and selective development.The name Nubian traces its roots to the Nubian region of northeastern Africa, an area historically associated with pastoral wealth and animal husbandry excellence. Traveling merchants, explorers, and settlers transported goats of various types across continents, intentionally and unintentionally merging traits from multiple sources. By the 1800s, British breeders played a significant role in shaping the Nubian's modern structure, importing lop-eared goats from India, Egypt, and the Middle East to blend with their local dairy breeds. Their goal was to produce goats capable of both high milk production and superior heat tolerance-a combination that would later prove invaluable in global agricultural environments.From Britain, these goats made their way to North America, where farmers continued refining the breed to establish the "American Nubian" you see today. Through structured registries, breed associations, and organized dairy goat shows, the Nubian achieved recognition as a premium dairy breed widely valued for performance and personality. Although the breed has been modernized through selective breeding, its historical roots remain visible through its distinctive appearance: the long ears echoing desert-adapted ancestors and the Roman nose reflecting traits from ancient stock lines.Physical Characteristics and Breed IdentityNubians are a visually striking breed, and their physical features are not simply aesthetic-they are part of what makes them uniquely functional. The most iconic of these features are their long, downward-sloping ears, which help regulate body temperature in warm climates. Their Roman noses give them a regal profile and have become a defining marker of breed purity in show standards. Combined with their tall, solid frame, Nubians present an impressive and elegant presence in any pasture.
Over twenty-five years in the making, this much-anticipated commentary promises to be the standard study of Proverbs for years to come.

Entdecken Sie die verlorene Welt des alten slawischen Heidentums, wo Donnergötter gegen Schlangenherren kämpften, die Erde selbst göttlich war und Geister in jedem Hain und Strom wohnten.Seit über tausend Jahren ist die reiche Mythologie der slawischen Völker in Fragmenten verborgen geblieben - absichtlich durch die Christianisierung zerstört, über feindliche Chroniken verstreut und nur in Folklore bewahrt, die Imperien überlebte. Nun offenbart diese umfassende Erkundung, was von einer Weltanschauung überlebt, in der der Kosmos um einen großen Weltenbaum strukturiert war, wo Peruns Blitz den Himmel im ewigen Kampf mit dem gestaltwandelnden Veles spaltete und wo Mokosch die Fäden des Schicksals selbst webte.Aus den Fragmenten entsteht eine Welt:Die Götter, die herrschten: Perun der Donnerer, von himmlischen Höhen schlagend, Veles der Gestaltwandler, in den Tiefen wohnend, Mokosch die Erdmutter, das Schicksal webend, und die geheimnisvollen Solargottheiten, deren Mythen fast vollständig verloren gingenDie Geister, die blieben: Der häusliche Domovoi, der Wald-Leschi, gefährliche Rusalki und die zweideutige Baba Jaga - Figuren, die überlebten, als die Götter verstummtenDas heilige Jahr: Die verzweifelte Feier der Wintersonnenwende für das wiederkehrende Licht, die ekstatischen Feuer der Kupala-Nacht und verbotene Magie, Erntefeste, die der lebendigen Erde dankenDie Mythologie in der Folklore: Märchen, die kosmische Kämpfe bewahren, epische Lieder von Helden und Drachen, Bräuche, die von Großmüttern gepflegt wurden, die nicht mehr wussten warum, aber wussten, dass es wichtig warDies ist kein Buch falscher Gewissheiten oder romantischer Erfindung. Hier finden Sie die Anerkennung dessen, was wir wissen, was wir verloren haben und was ungewiss bleiben muss. Auf Chroniken, archäologischen Befunden, Volksbräuchen und vergleichender Mythologie aufbauend, unterscheidet dieses Werk solide Beweise von vernünftiger Spekulation, historische Rekonstruktion von moderner Schöpfung.
