The Cold War's Last Battlefield: Reagan, the Soviets, and Central America (Global Academic Publishing)

An engaging insider's account by a member of President Reagan's Central America policy team.Central America was the final place where U.S. and Soviet proxy forces faced off against one another in armed conflict. In The Cold War’s Last Battlefield, Edward A. Lynch blends his own first-hand experiences as a member of the Reagan Central America policy team with interviews of policy makers and exhaustive study of primary source materials, including once-secret government documents, in order to recount these largely forgotten events and how they fit within Reagan’s broader foreign policy goals. Lynch’s compelling narrative reveals a president who was willing to risk both influence and image to aggressively confront Soviet expansion in the region. He also demonstrates how the internal debates between competing sides of the Reagan administration were really an argument about the basic thrust of U.S. foreign policy, and that they anticipated, to a remarkable degree, policy discussions following the September 11, 2001 terror attacks.

Chinese through Song, Second Edition (Global Academic Publishing)

Offering an innovative approach to language learning, Chinese through Song helps students develop their language proficiency and music appreciation through the use of folk, popular, and art songs. Because songs emphasize the color, pronunciation, and intonation of every syllable, they can be a valuable tool for improving a student s spoken language skills. By learning and performing the songs in this book, students will expand their vocabularies and improve their pronunciation, voice projection, and language expression all while learning about Chinese culture in a fun and stimulating way. This revised and expanded edition includes thirty songs, many of them new to this edition. They feature lucid and vivid language, as well as beautiful and relatively simple melodies. They are good for voice development and can be practiced in different modes of performance, including solos, duets, rounds, and musical dramas. Each chapter comprises up to seven sections: (1) a song, including sheet music and lyrics in Chinese characters and pinyin Romanization; (2) a line-by-line English translation; (3) a vocabulary list designed for students who have completed at least one year of Chinese; (4) cultural notes that help students understand the historical and social context of the song; (5) language notes on the use of key words and important sentence patterns; (6) singing instructions, including remarks on interpretation and performance; and (7) language exercises for both classroom practice and homework assignments. Chinese through Song may be used in several ways: as the main textbook for an interdisciplinary, intermediate-level course, emphasizing both language acquisition and musical performance; as a supplement to regular Chinese language classes, from elementary through advanced levels; as a resource for extracurricular activities (for example, a Chinese chorus or a performance at a Chinese New Year party); and as a general songbook."

Translation of an Arabic work extolling the person and mission of Jesus. The main portion of this book is a translation of an Arabic work extolling the person and mission of Jesus, whose life and teachings form the foundation of the Christian faith. That its author was a Muslim, and one who wrote several other books in defense of his own faith, may seem strange for Christian readers who know little about Islam. Yet Muslim readers will hardly find this remarkable. In concert with their holy book, the Qur’an, Muslims have consistently regarded Jesus as one of the most esteemed of a long line of prophets. Like most Christians, they believe that he was born of the Virgin Mary, performed many miracles, and most importantly, was called by God to be the bearer of divine revelation to the Jews. This book virtually ignores the Islamic literature about Jesus, and instead draws almost exclusively from the New Testament, especially the four Gospels.

Education enables a particular culture to maintain its own set of skills, technology and value systems for dealing with the socio-political and economic necessities of life. To make life more meaningful, any particular group’s learning and teaching approaches should not be devoid of the group’s surroundings. Ceteris paribus, Blacks should be applauded, not despised, for developing ways that will make them better students and teachers to sustain their immediate community and the United States. 
We are ipssisima verba with Asante, the architect of Afrocentricity, who maintains that: African American children can learn and are committed to the principles of teaching and educating that will affirm the existence of children who will reach the highest heights if they are met with concrete examples of care and concern...Furthermore, we have seen our children learn to a greater degree than many thought possible in schools that have adopted an Afrocentric curriculum and pedagogy. 
Independent Black Institutions, as we see them today, are somewhat different from the traditional private schools, in that the IBIs develop their curriculum from an African-centered perspective. This is a perspective that emanates from the heritage of the people and one that responds to the needs of the community. 
Indubitably, America’s inner-city public school systems have failed too many Black children. This volume offers an alternative approach to educating Black children in, especially, our urban centers. We hope that this book will provide an eminent challenge to students, teachers, and educators, who interact with and teach Black children, to develop and sustain a successful Africana personality that is not alienated from the walls of the American school system.
