Life/Death Rhythms of Ancient Empires - Climatic Cycles Influence Rule of Dynasties: A Predictable Pattern of Religion, War, Prosperity and Debt

The Life/Death Rhythms of Ancient Empires outlines the flow of history from 3000BC to 1400AD to identify the factors that make up dominant, just, prosperous civilisations that can be described as golden cultures. These factors were found to have common features and the cultures themselves could be described in cyclical terms. This meant that the rise and fall of future dominant cultures could be roughly forecast to some degree in terms of hundreds of years. The evolution of capitalism was made possible, during and after actual warfare, by ancient priests and bankers, assisted by the invention of coinage. Capitalism was practised in the ancient world, supported at times by warfare and religion. It was vanquished for centuries by powerful weapons called irresponsible debt, and debasement of currency. The global capitalism of the twenty-first century is dependent on debt and a debased US dollar. A review of ancient history provides the basis for a glimpse into the future. This century's global temperature increase, which so excites environmentalists, can be shown to be part of a thousand year climate cycle. There well might be a human element to global warming but this just exacerbates the centuries' long cyclical pattern. Research has shown that periods of hot-dry and cold-dry climate have effects on human behaviour. Extrapolation of cycles enables forecasts of human behaviour to be made well into the new millennium. Dominant prosperous societies have occurred at roughly 200 year intervals which can suggest time-lines for societies in the present and the future A relatively irreverent history of ancient cultures, war, religion, money and debt produces cyclical analysis enabling a forecast that the USA might lose world dominance in 2040. The next volume "Life/Death Rhythms from the Capitalist Renaissance" will include economic data that will allow refined cyclical forecasts.

Although there have been many significant advances in health care over the years, there are still issues demanding the attention of health-care professionals, governments, and individuals. Among them are chronic diseases and problems, such as type 2 diabetes, smoking, lack of physical activity, and dietary issues. In Applications of Public Health Education and Health Promotion Interventions, author Rashid Ansari highlights the practical applications of public health education and health promotion in various settings in addressing those health issues in particular and other health problems in general. He also provides health education concepts and processes that provide a combination of approaches to lifestyle change in order to assist individuals, families, and communities in making informed decisions on matters that affect the restoration, achievement, and maintenance of their health. A combination of health education and health promotion interventions at the primary level of prevention can be used to facilitate behavioural and environmental changes conducive to health enhancement. Ansari also shows how health inequality among populations can be reduced. Applications of Public Health Education and Health Promotion Interventions provides practical information on how public health theories and hypotheses can be used to combat some of the most prevalent health-care issues of the day.

Ronny Mintjens, linguist, teacher, and professional football coach, needed to find a way to really see the world, something deeper than mere tourism. Leaving the comfort and familiarity of his own European life, Mintjens decided to pursue his love of professional sports and exotic cultures all at once. He began coaching football at clubs all across Africa. Beginning in southern and then moving on to eastern Africa, Mintjens soon realized that there was more to professional football than simply training and winning matches. Trying to find ways to make a true mark on the game, Mintjens travelled from one club to the next. Each club, from Mount Kilimanjaro and the Serengeti Plains to Table Mountain and the Cape of Good Hope, held its own surprises and boasted its own strengths and weaknesses. In the end, each had its own lessons on the intricate weaving of African culture and heritage. Leave your life behind and dive into the exotic world of African sports with this fascinating tale of an ambitious foreigner and his deep journey to understand football as a way of life in the African football club. In this relatively unknown part of the world, football is certainly more than a game.

The Manipulator

Mac Thornsby grew up on the streets. He's used to doing anything to survive, but homicide? That's outside his comfort zone. However, Mac is soon the prime suspect in a murder investigation after he is discovered, unconscious, at the scene of the bloody crime. Jim MacDonald, a deputy district attorney, is assigned the case, along with seasoned homicide detective George Westbend. But Mac's guilt is quickly called into question when additional dead bodies turn up. All the victims appear to be connected to local mob boss, Manicelli, and Weatherford, the city's most prominent, and possibly dirty, businessman. As Jim digs deeper, he becomes personally involved when a dead woman, believed to be an undercover agent, is found in his bed. Not only is the integrity of the murder investigation out the window, but so is the respectability of the district attorney's office. Apparently, the murdered woman had evidence against Manicelli and Weatherford, so someone decided to shut her up. Jim soon finds himself pursued by Manicelli, who suspects Jim might have the missing evidence against him. With the help of an ex-CIA agent, Jim must find the truth against the mob and all those involved. Otherwise, his reputation could be forever tarnished, or worse-he could end up the next victim.

The idea of writing this book was to deliver portraits of concepts, people, characters and events that engulf and sometimes define our lives. The frames of these portraits are personal, social, political, emotional, and spiritual. The two main characters are Sam and Abed. They are soul mates. They live in a small village called Languardia where they enjoy walking in nature and debating different topics. Sam and Abed are a summary of situations we had encountered in our daily lives. These situations are either personal - relating to the anxieties, frustrations, romance, love, and heroism of the individual - or social, which relate to society and the empty taboos and meaningless slogans around us. As a writer from Lebanon, I need to emphasize that the concepts and people portrayed here are not exclusive to the Arab world or Lebanon. They can be found everywhere. We are global citizens after all, who are in constant search of a place like Languardia, or a friendship similar to that of Sam and Abed, in addition to the heroism and honesty of some of the other characters as well.
