Book Synopsis Africa [3 volumes] by : Toyin Falola
Download or read book Africa [3 volumes] written by Toyin Falola and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2015-12-14 with total page 1774 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These volumes offer a one-stop resource for researching the lives, customs, and cultures of Africa's nations and peoples. Unparalleled in its coverage of contemporary customs in all of Africa, this multivolume set is perfect for both high school and public library shelves. The three-volume encyclopedia will provide readers with an overview of contemporary customs and life in North Africa and sub-Saharan Africa through discussions of key concepts and topics that touch everyday life among the nations' peoples. While this encyclopedia places emphasis on the customs and cultural practices of each state, history, politics, and economics are also addressed. Because entries average 14,000 to 15,000 words each, contributors are able to expound more extensively on each country than in similar encyclopedic works with shorter entries. As a result, readers will gain a more complete understanding of what life is like in Africa's 54 nations and territories, and will be better able to draw cross-cultural comparisons based on their reading.

Arranged by broad topics, the book provides an overview of Ethiopia's physical and human geography, its history, its system of government, and the present economic situation. But the book also presents a picture of contemporary society and culture and of the Ethiopian people. It also discusses art, music, and cinema; class; gender; ethnicity; and education, as well as the language, food, and etiquette of the country. Readers will learn such fascinating details as the fact that coffee was first domesticated in Ethiopia more than 10,000 years ago and that modern Ethiopia comprises 77 different ethnic groups with their own distinct languages.

Book Synopsis My Lifelong Journey from Livestock Caretaker to a Climate Change Advocate by : Mengistu Woube
Download or read book My Lifelong Journey from Livestock Caretaker to a Climate Change Advocate written by Mengistu Woube and published by Universal-Publishers. This book was released on 2024-10-01 with total page 650 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The main purpose of writing this book is to share my lifelong experiences gained throughout the years covering major topics including the environment and climate change that I felt are important to share with my readers. The topics depict my accumulated knowledge and skills and the challenges I faced indicating how each of us go through ups and downs in life. Much of the discussion focuses on my exposure to tough and successful times in Ethiopia, Sweden and in 30 other countries around the globe. The second purpose of preparing this book is to inform my readers about the Ethio-Swedish historical links and current relationships and to answer a primary question that comes to mind, and that is: 'what can we learn from Sweden' (how Sweden handle environment and adopt climate change) as well as to thank the Swedish people and government for their kind provision of scholarships and funds for my higher education, research, community development and overall well-being throughout the years I have lived there. I am hoping that my life's autobiography covered in this book will inspire communities and especially young people to be able to walk on the right path and achieve their dreams in life. Besides, I hope it will enlighten my readers about the causes and effects of the on-going human activities on the natural, biophysical and human environments in Ethiopia, Sweden and other countries around the globe.

Book Synopsis Pioneers of Change in Ethiopia by : Bahru Zewde
Download or read book Pioneers of Change in Ethiopia written by Bahru Zewde and published by Ohio University Press. This book was released on 2022-11-08 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this exciting new study, Bahru Zewde, one of the foremost historians of modern Ethiopia, has constructed a collective biography of a remarkable group of men and women in a formative period of their country’s history. Ethiopia’s political independence at the end of the nineteenth century put this new African state in a position to determine its own levels of engagement with the West. Ethiopians went to study in universities around the world. They returned with the skills of their education acquired in Europe and America, and at home began to lay the foundations of a new literature and political philosophy. Pioneers of Change in Ethiopia describes the role of these men and women of ideas in the social and political transformation of the young nation and later in the administration of Haile Selassie.
Book Synopsis Historical Dictionary of Ethiopia by : Thomas P. Ofcansky
Download or read book Historical Dictionary of Ethiopia written by Thomas P. Ofcansky and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 2004-03-29 with total page 699 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ethiopia is one of the world's oldest countries; its Rift Valley may be the location where the ancestors of humankind originated more than four million years ago. With a population of 67 million people today, it is the third most populous country on the African continent after Nigeria and Egypt. It is the source of 86 percent of the water reaching the Aswan Dam in Egypt, most of it carried by the amazing Blue Nile. Ethiopia offers major historical sites such as the pre-Christian palace at Yeha, the stele and tombs of the old Kingdom of Axum, and the rock-carved churches of Lalibela. For anyone interested in Ethiopia, this historical dictionary, through its individual and carefully cross-referenced entries, captures the importance and intrigue of this truly significant African nation. Historical Dictionary of Ethiopia appeals to all levels of readers, providing entries for each of Ethiopia's 85 ethnic groups and covering a broad range of cultural, political, and economic topics. Readers interested in the cultural aspects or who are planning to visit Ethiopia will find a wealth of entries on art, literature, handicrafts, music, dance, bird life, geography, and historic tourist sites. Practitioners in government and non-governmental organizations will find entries on pressing economic, social, and political issues such as HIV/AIDS, female circumcision , debt, human rights, and the environment. The important historical role of missionaries and the combination of conflict and cooperation between Christians and Muslims in the region are also issues reviewed. And, finally, many of the entries highlight relations between Ethiopia and her neighbors-Eritrea, Somalia, Somaliland, Djibouti, Kenya, and Sudan. In the bibliography, considerable emphasis has been placed on including both new and old materials covering all facets of Ethiopia, organized for easy identification by areas of major interest.

Book Synopsis Reciprocal Landscapes by : Jane Hutton
Download or read book Reciprocal Landscapes written by Jane Hutton and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-09-06 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How are the far-away, invisible landscapes where materials come from related to the highly visible, urban landscapes where those same materials are installed? Reciprocal Landscapes: Stories of Material Movements traces five everyday landscape construction materials – fertilizer, stone, steel, trees, and wood – from seminal public landscapes in New York City, back to where they came from. Drawing from archival documents, photographs, and field trips, the author brings these two separate landscapes – the material’s source and the urban site where the material ended up – together, exploring themes of unequal ecological exchange, labor, and material flows. Each chapter follows a single material’s movement: guano from Peru that landed in Central Park in the 1860s, granite from Maine that paved Broadway in the 1890s, structural steel from Pittsburgh that restructured Riverside Park in the 1930s, London plane street trees grown on Rikers Island by incarcerated workers that were planted on Seventh Avenue north of Central Park in the 1950s, and the popular tropical hardwood, ipe, from northern Brazil installed in the High Line in the 2000s. Reciprocal Landscapes: Stories of Material Movements considers the social, political, and ecological entanglements of material practice, challenging readers to think of materials not as inert products but as continuous with land and the people that shape them, and to reimagine forms of construction in solidarity with people, other species, and landscapes elsewhere.
Book Synopsis The Politics of Contemporary Ethiopia by : Yohannes Gedamu
Download or read book The Politics of Contemporary Ethiopia written by Yohannes Gedamu and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-07-22 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates the role of ethnic federalism in Ethiopian politics, reflecting on a long history of division amongst the country’s political elites. The book argues that these patterns have enabled the resilience and survival of authoritarianism in the country, and have led to the failure of democratization. Ethnic conflict in Ethiopia stretches back to the country’s imperial history. Competing nationalisms begin to emerge towards the end of the imperial era, but were formalized by the Ethiopian People’s Revolutionary Democratic Front (EPRDF) from the 1990s onwards. Under the EPRDF, ethnicity and language classifications formed the main organizing principles for political parties and organizations, and the country’s new federal arrangement was also designed along ethnic fault lines. This book argues that this ethnic federal arrangement, and the continuation of an elite political culture are major factors in explaining the continuation of authoritarianism in Ethiopia. Focusing largely on the last 27 years under the EPRDF and on the political changes of the last few years, but also stretching back to historical narratives of ethnic grievances and division, this book is an important guide to the ethnic politics of Ethiopia and will be of interest to researchers of African politics, authoritarianism and ethnic conflict.
