Book Description
A story of adventure, love, and enrichment! Embarking on three life-changing journeys, the main character, Gerald Joubert, searches under a few universal and unisex "stones" for insights. Dr. Gerald Joubert is a divorced lecturer in the Faculty of Education at the University of Windhoek, the capital of Namibia. He is a competent lecturer and leader with sound character and performs his lecturing duties diligently, while addressing social issues such as the quality of university and secondary school education, advocating for a national secondary "job-oriented curriculum," which accommodates different types of intelligences to reduce poverty and unemployment. He also works at cracking some "stony ideas" toward creating a new type of democracy. Gerald's three interwoven journeys are the following: He follows the luring voice of a diamond prospecting adventure together with his brother, Hugo, and two others. The journey comprises excitement, brotherly love, and interesting conversation about diamonds and minerals they prospect. It also includes the magical voice of nature's geology, animal and plant life, and night sky. Furthermore, the adventure leads them to early war and diamond discovery history in Namibia and the culture and spiritual beliefs of the original San people, which lead to the heart-racing search for the Spirit Mountain treasure. Gerald's second journey is a romantic one that involves Rika, a new geology "stone" lecturer at the university, who is also careful to select the right partner the second time around. She joins the prospecting trips, and they dig up and display the features they value in a life partner, which stones in life clog their love wells, what spiritual gems they live by, and their passions and personality preferences to determine whether they together possess the stepping stones toward bliss. The third journey is when Gerald hears more than the voices of stones and nature, namely the voice of the spiritual realm. Unknowingly, he steps into the realm of the occult. He spends reflective time in the courtroom of his conscience to reclaim his spiritual dimension as the true core of humanity.

Book Description
If memory was simply about past events, public authorities would never put their ever-shrinking budgets at its service. Rather, memory is actually about the present moment, as Pierre Nora puts it: “Through the past, we venerate above all ourselves.” This book examines how collective memory and material culture are used to support present political and ideological needs in contemporary society. Using the memorialization of the Troubles in contemporary Northern Ireland as a case study, this book investigates how non-state, often proscribed, organizations have filled a societal vacuum in the creation of public memorials. In particular, these groups have sifted through the past to propose “official” collective narratives of national identification, historical legitimation, and moral justifications for violence.

Book Description

Veering away from the long, meditative studies of Pilgrim at Tinker Creek or Holy the Firm, Annie Dillard explores and celebrates moments of spirituality, dipping into descriptions of encounters with flora and fauna, stars, and more, from Ecuador to Miami.

Book Description
Returning to the enigmatic planet first introduced in his compelling Dark Water's Embrace, Stephen Leigh thoughtfully examines issues of prejudice and race relations among the descendants of the world's marroned human survivors and its native inhabitants. On the faraway planet Mictlan, a tiny human society has had to sruggle with severe and often disturbing complications to adapt to their desolate surroundings. There were physical mutations and birth defects among them, then an uneasy coexistence with the Miccail, an indigenous tri-gendered intelligent species. Most startling of all was the evolution of a third human sex: the Sa, or midmale. Now the fragile peace that governs the humans and the Miccail is shattered after a young human Sa child is kidnapped, igniting all the half-buried animosities smoldering between the two groups, as savagery and violence break out across the planet. The answer may lie in an imposing carved monolith--the Speaking Stone that contains the secrets of the ancient Miccail religion. Facing annhilation at the hands of its warring civilizations, the planet's only chance for survival hinges on deciphering the stone's cryptic hierloglyphs.Returning to the enigmatic planet first introduced in his compelling Dark Water's Embrace, Stephen Leigh thoughtfully examines issues of prejudice and race relations among the descendants of the world's marroned human survivors and its native inhabitants.
