Book Description
Cuba is widely recognized for its social achievements including health care, education, social security, subsidized food and other benefits and opportunities, despite well-meaning, or sometimes not so well-meaning, international criticisms. For more than 50 years, this Caribbean island has defended and sustained these economic, political, social and cultural gains, and has maintained a commitment to humanitarianism and international solidarity that persists to this day. Part one of Unfinished Puzzle describes the socioeconomic context of Cuban agriculture, the natural environment that affect it and the international political context in which it has developed. Part two explores the unique agricultural policies Cubans implemented to confront the food and economic crises of the early 1990s. Finally, part three examines the lessons to be learned from the Cuban experience with respect to local development, sustainable agriculture, agroecology, food security and food sovereignty. It highlights the elements of the Cuban system most suitable for replication in other countries facing similar circumstances or challenges.

I Know You Are Hurting (Spend Time with DaD)
Author: Diann Duby
Publisher: Covenant Books, Inc.
ISBN: 1638147310
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 61
Book Description
With tiny wrinkles and cries, he entered the world, and wrapped in strips of cloth, he took his first nap on a bed of straw. Subject to time and to parents, he grew to manhood, his gentle hands becoming strong and calloused in Joseph’s woodworking shop. As a man, he walked through the countryside and city, touching individuals, preaching to crowds, and training twelve men to carry on His work. Throughout His journey here, He would seek Daily Direction with the Heavenly Father. At every step, he was hounded by those seeking to rid the world of His influence. Jesus continued to stay focused on his purpose. Finally, falsely accused and tried, He was condemned to a disgraceful execution, and He died, spat upon, cursed, pierced by nails, and hung heavenward for all to ridicule and scorn, treated like He was worthless. If there is anyone in the world (and He was in the world) who knows how you feel, it is Jesus. He has walked your walk, He knows your hurt, and He decided to take one more walk for you, and that was straight to the cross. He overcame the world and all its insults and hurts and sin, and now through the Bible, He wants to sit with you and tell you how to stay focused on the promises of the Bible. We all have a purpose in this world, and that is to share the Gospel with others. You need Daily Direction. He knows because He has been there. Jesus would seek Daily Direction throughout his journey here on earth. He approached the Heavenly Father daily, whether it was going off by Himself praying or speaking and encouraging the crowds and pointing them to the Father. It is the author’s hope and prayer that you use the Bible references at the end of each chapter to strengthen your personal relationship with your Heavenly Father as Jesus did. When all is said and done, it is still all about Jesus.

Give me Back My Lands
Author: Spartak Fikaj
Publisher: Spartak Fikaj
ISBN:
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 198
Book Description
Give Me Back My Lands" delves into the complex history of Albania's borders, focusing on the lasting impact of the London Conference of 1912-1913. The book takes readers on a journey through the pivotal events that shaped Albania's territorial evolution, from the proclamation of independence to the unresolved disputes that continue to shape the country's geopolitical landscape. The author begins by setting the stage, examining the crumbling of the Ottoman Empire and the First Balkan War that paved the way for Albania's declaration of independence. The book then dives into the London Conference, where the Great Powers convened to arbitrate between the warring parties and determine the future of Albania. The author skillfully navigates the complex web of territorial claims, power struggles, and compromises that unfolded during the conference, revealing how the decisions made by the Great Powers laid the foundation for decades of instability and unresolved disputes.As the narrative progresses, the book explores the aftermath of the London Conference, including the carving up of Albanian lands, the ethnic tensions that arose, and the unfinished puzzle of Albania's borders. The author delves into the interwar period, World War II, and the communist era, showcasing how the legacy of the conference continued to shape Albania's relationships with neighboring countries and the broader geopolitical dynamics of the Balkans. One of the book's strengths lies in its ability to shed light on the forgotten territories and lost lands that were left out of the newly established Principality of Albania, such as Kosovo and southern Chameria. The author skillfully weaves together historical accounts, political analysis, and personal narratives to paint a comprehensive picture of the struggles and aspirations of the Albanian people. Ultimately, "Give Me Back My Lands" serves as a powerful reminder of the lasting consequences of the decisions made by the Great Powers in the early 20th century. The book offers valuable insights for policymakers, historians, and anyone interested in understanding the complex and enduring legacy of the London Conference on the shaping of modern Albania and the Balkan region.
