Author Alfred Phillips Jr. envisions a new world order where races, countries, and religions interact with each other differently than in the past. In Righteous Orientation, he details the development of this new world order and shows that it is essential for members of black society, Source-Ken World, to change how they see themselves in order to live well. Using new vocabulary and language to present this fresh world order that he calls the Great-Global Source-Ken Family. Phillips shares a thought-provoking plan. Righteous Orientation provides an overview of the 200,000-year wave of human life in which Source-Ken World are the key players; an elaborate glossary for the new words, a new time basis for humans, realistic expectations on how human systems change, and a discussion of pre-human primates; a review of organization, intelligence quotients and standardized tests, solving the HIV-Aids problem, DNA, accountability (reparations), belief system, and vital relations between Source-Ken World; a discussion of how to answer many questions from the past. Righteous Orientation presents a righteous, fulfilling, and sustainable way forward for all conscious sentient beings.

Who are you? How you see yourself may determine what you get out of reading this book. If you see yourself as an Abrahamic-myth believer (Jew, Christian, and Muslim), then you may revile this book. If you see yourself as a person of faith, you may simply think that I am grossly mistaken. If you see yourself as one for whom world-African lives matter, you may see this book as worthwhile. I regard myself as a thinking free man first, a world African second, and a citizen of the US third. I am also a father of five excellent sons, a physicist-scientist, a marathoner, a man fortunate to have loved a few women with occasional reciprocity, and a male whose loving parents wanted to have me. This work presents a self-reliant way forward for world-African people. It is based upon a new vision for world Africans, a world-African government, world-African green businesses, and the creation of scientific spirituality. There are two major impediments world Africans face: first, exploitation by white people, and second, the Abrahamic-myth Belief System (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam). Unfortunately, many world Africans have completely bought into these mutually warring religions. This work offers ways to overcome these two impediments. I believe that world Africans, often with US African initiatives, can drive the world positively. Some of us are beginning to realize how we see ourselves matters in the matter of our lives and the matters we courageously try to realize.
This book describes a natural unification of all humans and respect for all sentient life. The basis for unification is the recognition that all humans are equal members of the 200,000 year-old African (Source-Ken) family. With a consciousness change, World African can become the drivers of unification. World Africans are currently attached to the myth imposed by their enslavers and colonizers, the divisive Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam). It requires self-hate, perhaps unconscious, to believe in a religion whose original Jewish interpretation of the Ham-Noah myth was that African people were cursed. The Abrahamic-Myths are built upon three principles: Law, Monotheism, and Specialness. Law and Monotheism are ancient African inventions. Specialness is a Jewish invention done while captive in Babylon. The transmutation proposed in this book is science-based: Africans were the first people and they even now have more genetic diversity than the rest of humanity. World Africans can believe that they are Preeminent in Nature. Science shows the African-hominin-ancestors co-created with Nature the human body including the vaunted brain. Courageously, World Africans can bring to consciousness the genetic-basis of their natural Specialness to overcome the 1,500 year legacy of slavery and stimulate equality, Equitocracy, for all people.
Brothers, two hundred thousand years ago, African people were the culmination of the co-creation by Hominins and Nature in Africa. This co-creation happened over six million years. Fifty to sixty thousand years ago, African people left Africa, migrated around the Earth, and co-created humanity. (What I write here and what was presented in the 2015 PBS television series, First Peoples, represents the same science.) Even now African people have more genetically diversity than the rest of humanity. African people in Africa were the creators of language, art, science, mathematics, technology . . . all human activities. Specifically African people created law and monotheism. The Abrahamic-Myth belief systems (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam) perverted these African beliefs. The Abrahamic system used the Ham-Noah myth to contend that Africans were cursed. Although this myth was created and interpreted by Jews, this myth was acted on by Arabs (Islamists) and Europeans (Christians) resulting in fourteen hundred years of African enslavement. Starting in the 1700s, primarily World African men led a consciousness change. Similar consciousness changes climaxed in the 1860s and the 1960s. Ensuing actions reduced African enslavement over the nineteenth century and increased some rights in the twentieth century. Yet the sustained attacks by Europeans and Arabs still impact World Africans. The counter to these attacks is a principle-based change-of-consciousness. World African can realize that they are Preeminent in Nature. World Africans can heal themselves and stimulate the rest of humanity thereby. This book presents background and a set of questions for black men to think about. The test will be whether significant positive actions results from their thoughts. The book, STEM: Source-Ken World Transmutations and Equitocracy for Mankind, by this author (Xlibris-2015) provides background for this work.
Annual cotton production exceeds 25 million metric tons and accounts for more than 40 percent of the textile fiber consumed worldwide. A key textile fiber for over 5000 years, this complex carbohydrate is also one of the leading crops to benefit from genetic engineering. Cotton Fiber Chemistry and Technology offers a modern examination of co
Unlike some other world history texts that center on the West, The Human Record provides balanced coverage of the global past. The book features both written and artifactual sources that are placed in their full historical contexts through introductory essays, footnotes, and focus questions. The text sheds light on the experiences of women and non-elite groups while maintaining overall balance and a focus on the major patterns of global historical developments through the ages.
The Orifice as Sacrificial Site bases its argument on expert histories and primary documents of selected religions. Although based on textual analysis and documentary evidence this is essentially a social study. The goal of Aho's study is to discover explanatory principles of orifice management, rather than to expound on the peculiarities of individual faiths. The work locates the attributes religions share, instead of the qualities that differentiate them. The argument of the book is that these preeminently private sites are in reality "publicly accomplished." The most secret reaches of our personal geographies, our orifices, are products of more encompassing structural circumstances, of which we have only a dim grasp. Thus, one can speak with appropriate caution, of a prototypical "Jewish mouth," and of a uniquely different "Christian mouth"; of orthodox "Brahmanic genitals" and of their diametric opposites, "tantric genitals." The task of this fascinating study is to elucidate the nature of these mysterious precincts and, above all, to demonstrate how they have come to acquire the special qualities they do. In order to do this, the author examines the prophetic moment of a people's cultural ethos, the circumstances surrounding that point in time during which their dominant faith acquired its characteristic "orifice signature"; and second, to the organizational matters concerning that faith, its boundary concerns, internal hierarchies and disputes, and the external market situation. The author aims to show how the social regulation of bodily orifices is, if not mechanically determined, at least made understandable in light of religious and theological concerns. These are examined through a social science lens that offers amply illustrated, detailed, cross-cultural studies of orifice taboos in Christianity, ancient Judaism, Brahmanism, tantric Hinduism, and some tribal cultures. Aho's argument will add support for the theory that orifices are at the center of all political and religious disputes. James Aho is professor of sociology at Idaho State University. Among his earlier books are two celebrated studies of survivalist and hate groups in the northwest, The Politics of Righteousness and This Thing of Darkness.
A trailblazer in the field of premodern global history, Andrea here guides readers through the medieval expansion of the 'first Europe' from the fifth to the fifteenth centuries. Ranging from Ireland to Ethiopia, from the Mongol Empire to the so-called New World, Expanding Horizons demolishes any lingering sense that European societies remained isolated from the wider world before the modern age. Complete with maps, excerpts from primary source documents, and suggestions for further reading, this book will be an ideal resource for anyone planning to build a course around themes of global travel, exploration, and colonialism." —Brett E. Whalen, The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Alfred Crosby almost alone redirected the attention of historians to ecological issues that were important precisely because they were global. In doing so, he answered those who believed that world history had become impossible as a consequence of the post-war proliferation of new historical specialities, including not only ecological history but also new social histories, areas studies, histories of mentalities and popular cultures, and studies of minorities, majorities, and ethnic groups. In the introduction to this volume, Professor Crosby recounts an intellectual path to ecological history that might stand as a rationale for world history in general. He simply decided to study the most pervasive and important aspects of human experience. By focusing on human universals like death and disease, his studies highlight the epidemic rather than the epiphenomenal.
This important new contribution to the study of Atlantic history brings together eight original essays by such leading scholars as Jorge Canizares-Esguerra, Paul Lovejoy, David Eltis, and Benjamin Schmidt on the many connections between the Old World and the New World in the early modern period. With an introduction by Wim Klooster, the four sets of paired essays examine the role of specific port cities in Atlantic history, aspects of European migration, the African dimension, and ways in which the Atlantic world has been imagined. Numerous maps and illustrations further enrich this vital new contribution to undergraduate and graduate courses of study in Atlantic history.
“The one and only book that treats the nineteenth-century Cuban figure José Martí as a human instead of an idol, an apostle, or an unblemished personality.” —Tom Miller, author of Revenge of the Saguaro José Martí (1853–1895) was the founding hero of Cuban independence. In all of modern Latin American history, arguably only the “Great Liberator” Simón Bolívar rivals Martí in stature and legacy. Today he is revered by both the Castro regime and the Cuban exile community, whose shared veneration of the “apostle” of freedom has led to his virtual apotheosis as a national saint. In José Martí: A Revolutionary Life, Alfred J. López presents the definitive biography of the Cuban patriot and martyr. Writing from a nonpartisan perspective and drawing on years of research using original Cuban and U.S. sources, including materials never before used in a Martí biography, López strips away generations of mythmaking and portrays Martí as Cuba’s greatest founding father and one of Latin America’s literary and political giants, without suppressing his public missteps and personal flaws. In a lively account that engrosses like a novel, López traces the full arc of Martí’s eventful life, from his childhood and adolescence in Cuba, to his first exile and subsequent life in Spain, Mexico City, and Guatemala, through his mature revolutionary period in New York City and much-mythologized death in Cuba on the battlefield at Dos Ríos. The first major biography of Martí in over half a century and the first ever in English, José Martí is the most substantial examination of Martí’s life and work ever published. “The life, the history and the facts are all here in López’s volume.” —The Washington Post
As Chairman of the Civil Aeronautics Board in the late 1970s, Alfred E. Kahn presided over the deregulation of the airlines and his book, published earlier in that decade, presented the first comprehensive integration of the economic theory and institutional practice of economic regulation. In his lengthy new introduction to this edition Kahn surveys and analyzes the deregulation revolution that has not only swept the airlines but has transformed American public utilities and private industries generally over the past seventeen years. While attitudes toward regulation have changed several times in the intervening years and government regulation has waxed and waned, the question of whether to regulate more or to regulate less is a topic of constant debate, one that The Economics of Regulation addresses incisively. It clearly remains the standard work in the field, a starting point and reference tool for anyone working in regulation.Kahn points out that while dramatic changes have come about in the structurally competitive industries - the airlines, trucking, stock exchange brokerage services, railroads, buses, cable television, oil and natural gas - the consensus about the desirability and necessity for regulated monopoly in public utilities has likewise been dissolving, under the burdens of inflation, fuel crises, and the traumatic experience with nuclear plants. Kahn reviews and assesses the changes in both areas: he is particularly frank in his appraisal of the effect of deregulation on the airlines. His conclusion today mirrors that of his original, seminal work - that different industries need different mixes of institutional arrangements that cannot be decided on the basis of ideology.
