From Jerusalem to the Lion of Judah and Beyond
Author: Steven Carol
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 1469761297
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 522
Book Description
From Jerusalem to the Lion of Judah and Beyond provides the most thorough analysis of Israel's foreign policy towards East Africa. Since its modern reestablishment, Israel has sought political allies in the international community. To achieve that goal, Israel offers technological, economic and military assistance to developing nations. Historically, four East African countries Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania were prime beneficiaries of that effort. Later, these efforts were extended to Eritrea and South Sudan. Israel has been demonstrating its willingness to off er a far greater share of its limited resources to international assistance, than practically any other nation, large or small. Since 1948, Israel's foreign policy towards East Africa exemplifies these immortal words: I will also give thee [Israel] for a light to the nations, that My salvation may be unto the end of the earth. Isaiah 49:6. The chronicles of these laudable activities are little known, even to post World War II historians. No other book to date covers this subject in as much depth. Anyone seeking a more profound understanding of Israel's foreign policy, as well as its historic relationship with East Africa, will find From Jerusalem to the Lion of Judah and Beyond of interest.

Made By China: A New World Order
Author: Terrance Thomas
Publisher: Aelin Publishers
ISBN: 9392316119
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 493
Book Description
Is a global conflict involving China inevitable? Terrance Thomas lived in China for nine years. During that time, he experienced the fear of living under an authoritarian regime. Three years of Terrance's time in China were spent in the naval city of Sanya. Terrance saw the Chinese military prepare for a war every day for three years. From aerial operations to arm China's illegally built islands in the South China Sea to the deployments of China's Type 094 ballistic missile submarines, Terrance saw China preparing for a New World Order with his own eyes. Terrance was even present in 2019 for the commission of China's Type 002 aircraft carrier, the Shandong. Terrance recorded much of the activity he saw while in China and interviewed countless people around Asia to comprehensively assess China's intentions for the world. Terrance also has prepared an in-depth analysis of the possible pathways to peace. The author also highlights several disturbing facts about China's increase in its military capabilities and why that is a threat to America and its allies. This book stresses the need to maintain and expand U.S. military strength in Asia while forging closer ties with like-minded allies worldwide. Terrance was not on the outside looking in, he was there, and this book was written from within China.

Humans and Lions
Author: Keith Somerville
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351365290
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 269
Book Description
This book places lion conservation and the relationship between people and lions both in historical context and in the context of the contemporary politics of conservation in Africa. The killing of Cecil the Lion in July 2015 brought such issues to the public’s attention. Were lions threatened in the wild and what was the best form of conservation? How best can lions be saved from extinction in the wild in Africa amid rural poverty, precarious livelihoods for local communities and an expanding human population? This book traces man’s relationship with lions through history, from hominids, to the Romans, through colonial occupation and independence, to the present day. It concludes with an examination of the current crisis of conservation and the conflict between Western animal welfare concepts and sustainable development, thrown into sharp focus by the killing of Cecil the lion. Through this historical account, Keith Somerville provides a coherent, evidence-based assessment of current human-lion relations, providing context to the present situation. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of environmental and African history, wildlife conservation, environmental management and political ecology, as well as the general reader.
