This collection pays homage to his mother's commitment to spiritual mentorship as a Black Christian woman in Los Angeles, California. As a dedicated Los Angeles Unified School District educator and United Teachers Los Angeles Union leader, James learned about leadership, vocation, and sacrifice through observation, close listening, and through her gift of storytelling.

This book is about our progress and graduation from the use of coal/firewood, kerosene, LPG, and natural gas in our homes and tens of millions others like ours. It covers the pipeline politics, the power politics of oil, gas, LPG, LNG and refineries, building SPMs [single point moorings] in the ocean, capturing and making inroads into the nearly USD 20-30 billion business of oil, gas and power in Pakistan. It is more of a regional political game rather than the old game of imperialists, multinational and international power brokerages. The resources given to this country, how we misused or abused them, the opportunities, challenges and the prospects. Rental power plants and Independent Power Producers and LPG and LNG. It is the story of Aitzaz Ahsan's Indus Saga and Qurratulain Hyder's Aag Ka Darya (River of Fire), which revolve around the Indus and Gandhara Civilization and making sense of Pakistan. And it is the story of a journalist friend, who has lived in Hyderabad as a child and saw Indus in its glory and heard it roaring from his house, but he is found in tears, when he crosses the bridge over the river at Sukkur.

Dalla prefazione di Simona Mancini: Nel frenetico vivere quotidiano spesso rischiamo di trascurare l'attenzione alla nostra umanità, la sensibilità, gli interrogativi che ci portano a cercare la Verità e a comprendere meglio e ad esprimere il meglio di noi stessi. È allora che procediamo "su righe storte"... finché non interviene qualcosa o qualcuno che cambia la direzione della nostra vita e ci aiuta, anche inconsapevolmente, a trovare e ad esprimere il meglio di noi: gli altri. Per comprendere chi siamo davvero, abbiamo bisogno di relazionarci agli altri. Ed è ciò che accade ai protagonisti dei due racconti di questo libro, frutto della fantasia, della creatività e della sensibilità dei due autori; due storie ambientate in contesti diversi, che uniscono il fascino della narrazione alla riflessione teorica alla quale, di fatto ma al tempo stesso insospettabilmente, richiamano.

Questo saggio, come tutti quelli di HOW2 Edizioni, ha carattere divulgativo, verso una disciplina tanto misteriosa quanto affascinante: lo studio della psiche. Ciò che lo rende speciale, nella sua semplicità, è che in un sol colpo scoprirai il pensiero di Freud e quello di Jung, mettendoli addirittura a confronto! Se chiediamo all'uomo della strada "qual è la prima persona che ti viene in mente se ti dico Psicologia?", molto probabilmente risponderà "Freud", pur non conoscendolo minimamente.Sì, perché Freud, il padre della Psicoanalisi, è entrato nell'immaginario collettivo, al pari di un Einstein, un Disney od un Napoleone. Stessa sorte, forse, non è toccata al suo discepolo più celebre: Jung, il padre della Psicologia Analitica.Sì, perché Jung è più di nicchia, è meno per le masse. È più per intenditori, per palati fini: non è per tutti. Se hai, quanto meno, sentito parlare di Jung, sei già un passo avanti. Ma è giusto dire che Jung è inferiore a Freud? Beh, questa è la risposta che cerchiamo tra le righe di questo saggio! Un libro che mette a nudo e a confronto due monumenti della psicologia, che a tratti si sono amati e, infine, si sono detestati. Ma non vogliamo darti un giudizio in merito. No, quello non lo troverai scritto da nessuna parte. Il tuo giudizio personale dovrai darlo dopo aver letto questo libro molto semplice e scorrevole, adattissimo ad un lettore principiante, anche completamente a digiuno di rudimenti sulla materia. Ti svelo una chicca: in questo manuale, giustamente intitolato "JUNG vs FREUD", abbiamo voluto immaginare dei dialoghi, anche accessi tra i due, come dei moderni "dissing". Diciamo dei confronti dialettici o, magari, dei veri e propri scontri ideologici. Questo per renderti più vivida ed emozionante la lettura, nonché semplice l'assimilazione dei suoi contenuti. Quali sono i 4 obiettivi principali di questo libro?Farti scoprire il pensiero di Freud e Jung, con le loro differenze;Farti riflettere su chi dei due sia stato più grande;Farti scoprire se il tuo pensiero è più freudiano o junghiano;Farti innamorare della Psicologia e di questi due immensi intellettuali. Per chi è questo libro?Curiosi e neofiti della materia.Studenti liceali e non.Studenti universitari.Docenti di vario ordine, grado e disciplina. In estrema sintesi, questo libro è altamente consigliato a TUTTI!

Eu sempre cri que tudo está sob o controle de uma força suprema, e que nada escapa ao seu controle, propósitos e desígnios. O mundo, e tudo o que nele há, são obras das mãos deste Ser Supremo que eu chamo de Deus.Há muito tempo venho pensando em escrever minhas experiências de vida e, principalmente, as experiências que tenho tido com Deus. Em João 16.33, Jesus nos adverte de que no mundo nós teríamos aflições, mas Ele mesmo nos incentivou a ter bom ânimo, pois Ele venceu o mundo. Jesus é o meu exemplo - se Ele venceu, eu também vou vencer!>Seja qual for o seu drama, creia, Deus é poderoso para mudar a sua sorte.Por isso escrevi este livro, pois o mesmo Deus que é rico em misericórdia e mudou a minha vida, mudou a minha 'sorte', mudará a sua também!Que este relato sirva de encorajamento para você, que plante no seu coração a certeza de que, por mais difícil que seja a estrada, não caminhamos sozinhos - o Deus Todo-Poderoso, o criador de todo o universo, caminha conosco, nos auxilia e, muitas vezes, nos carrega no colo.>Gilberto Gabriel da Silva, pastor

We defined electronic music and its large branches in the two previous volumes, clarifying the difference between a DJ and a producer. We explained how electronic music is produced and the modern studio concept. Likewise, we addressed the historical development of the most relevant electronic instruments and briefly explained each. Now, in the third volume, we will focus on the most outstanding technologies for modern electronic music production. Therefore, as in the previous book in which sections made the presentation of the instruments, this volume is made up of five of them for reasons of analytical practicality: 1. Audio recording and playback2. Speakers3. Communication protocols between electronicinstruments4. Modern electronic music production>The first point will clarify how the ability to record sound in an analog mechanism was acquired just a moment ago if we compare that time with human existence. Therefore, since electronic music is intrinsically linked to the technique of sound recording and its playback, it is necessary to know about the technologies that have allowed this process since the 19th century. Subsequently, it will be explained what the speakers are and how their role and development in electronic music have been fundamental. As has already been elucidated throughout this series, it would be practically impossible for electronic music to exist without speakers. After that, we'll see the two main protocols of communication between electronic instruments: MIDI and OSC, in addition to expressing my point of view about their transcendence because never, in the history of music in its entirety, the instruments had managed to sync through messages and time automation codes, under the master/ slave concept. Understanding the above, we will review all those technologies that facilitate modern electronic music>Finally, we will explain the tools that the DJ uses to play, such as turntables, CD players, controllers, etc. Since each invention of these five points has its own story, I will limit myself to mentioning merely basic details so that the reader can investigate more for his account, topic by topic. As in the case of this series' first and second volumes, the purpose is to establish a conceptual axis in which one can have a reference, not a detailed encyclopedia of each specific device.
