The Era of Military Coups D 'Etat

Haiti 1986-1991

By: Rev. Emmanuel Dumay

This book presents a detailed story on each military coup detat that occurred in Haiti from February 1986 to September 1991. In fact, it describes the political spectrum that reigned in Haiti after the departure of President Jean-Claude Duvalier. The epoch that succeeded the fall of the Duvaliers from power was one of the most ambiguous periods in the history of Haiti founded by Generalissimo Jean-Jacques Dessalines the Great, in 1804. Dessalines, as GENERAL-IN-CHIEF of the Haitian Indigenous army, became the first of the nations Heads-of-state to be overthrown by a military coup detat, in October 17, 1806. Since then, most of the nations Chiefs-of-state assumed power through revolutions, or coups detat. Currently, the nation experiences 33 coups detat. From February 1986 to September 1991, seven coups or attempted coups detat had taken place in Haiti. That is that period of social and political instability that is exposed in this book. (In the post opinions, the author speaks briefly about the problematic of the army involvement in coups detat in Haiti, the January 12, 2010 Earthquake as well as the need for a new Haitian Armed Forces.) The book is made available to help Haitians or foreigners in particular those who are curious about Haitis history, including observers,professors, students, politicians, ordinary people, etc. Everybody should be capable of judging for himself or for herself on the countrys situation during and after the fall of the Duvaliers from power in February 1986. By writing this essay, the author encourages all Haitians that live inside the country or abroad to come to unity. That is a powerful tool that can bring Haiti to a dramatic turn toward consistent DEMOCRACY and economic development.

A Landscape of Contemporary Theories of International Law

By: Emmanuel Roucounas

This rich and remarkable volume offers an overview of the most important schools, movements and trends which make up the theoretical landscape of contemporary international law, as well as the works of over 500 authors. It moves beyond generalization and examines how the relevant literature deals with the basic issues of the international legal system, such as international obligations, legitimacy, compliance, unity and universality, the rule of law, human rights, use of force and economics. It offers insights into the addressees (the state, international organizations, individuals and other private persons), and the construction of international law, including law-making, the relationship between norms, and interpretation. Moreover, it widens the discourse by addressing old, yet enduring, as well as new concerns about the functioning of the international legal system, and presents views of non-international lawyers and political scientists regarding that system. It is a valuable analysis for researchers, students, and practitioners.

Grand Intimation

By: Emmanuel Etienyong

Grand Intimation is a novel about the often deadly clash between pagan and Christian religions and cultures. Set in Nigeria, Nkese and Mark, a wife and husband, endure forced separation and loss of freedom when they are enslaved by other cultures. Nkese is born into a traditional Christian home, but has an ancestral heritage of deity worship. A white missionary brings with him death and destruction when his opposition to Nkese's deity worship results in her family's extermination. Mark is born into a traditional family and becomes a seminarian. He abandons his priestly calling to marry Nkese, and later finds out about his wife's complicated past when she becomes possessed at a pagan ritual. Grand Intimation is a story of human spirituality, strong ties to ancestral roots, and about the human condition and redemption. The book ends on a suspenseful note, leaving readers wanting more.

Memoirs of the life, exile, and conversations of the Emperor Napoleon, by the Count de Las Cases -

By: Comte Emmanuel-Auguste-Dieudonné de Las Cases

Before the shattering of the Napoleonic empire in 1815, Count Las Cases had served loyally for many years in the council of state. However, his most important service was to come after he followed his Emperor into exile on St. Helena. During his time with Napoleon on the “Rock in the Atlantic”, he was to write down all that he heard from the Emperor’s mouth, as clear a stream of his thoughts and reminiscences as were ever recorded. He was to eventually publish these entries as the “Memoirs of the life...”, also known as the Mémorial de St. Hélène. They stand as a classic not just of the history of Napoleon’s times, but also of the history of the first year of his banishment. Ranging from his earliest days in Corsica to the ranging battlefields of his career, Napoleon speaks through these pages as in no other of the sources left to us today. Essential reading and the birth of the Napoleonic legend. Author — Las Cases, Emmanuel-Auguste-Dieudonné, comte de, 1766-1842. Text taken, whole and complete, from the edition published in 1855, New York, by Red Field. Original Page Count – 412 pages. Illustrations — 4.

Leading Financial Sustainability in Theological Institutions

The African Perspective

By: Emmanuel Okantah Bellon

The role of theological institutions in Christian mission is likened to the crucible that shapes the hearts and minds of those leading the charge to reconcile the world to God. Nevertheless, it is also the weakest link in the chain of Christian ministry, and efforts to sustain the unique contribution of institutions have been enigmatic. So why should we be concerned about theological institutions? What if there were no theologians, missiologists, trained pastors, or missionaries in Christian ministry? What if there were no theological institutions? What if the existing theological institutions collapsed, shut down for lack of resources? How effective would the witness of the Christian church be without theological institutions in a world in need of God? Over the centuries, various models for supporting theological training have been tried in institutions, but very few of these have been successful. Time, cost, and quality of education (among others) have been the driving forces behind the changing models, and yet financial sustainability has been elusive. Only informed leadership that draws insights from historical, biblical, and practical wisdom is necessary in achieving this goal. This book is your faithful companion in the quest to achieve financial sustainability in theological institutions.

Interpersonal Reconciliation between Christians in a Shame-Oriented Culture

A Sri Lankan Case Study

By: Mano Emmanuel

Interpersonal conflict is one of the greatest threats to the health and growth of the church worldwide. Yet despite their best intentions, Christian leaders often discover that the cause of recurring conflict remains unclear and prescribed techniques for conflict resolution are ineffective in their communities. In this Sri Lankan case study, Dr Mano Emmanuel examines the specifics of interpersonal conflict within a shame-oriented culture. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, she incorporates cultural anthropology, missiology, and communication studies into her analysis, identifying seven aspects of culture that must be addressed if reconciliation is to be fully experienced in the Sri Lankan church. Highlighting the parallels between contemporary honor-shame cultures and the honor-shame context of the New Testament, the author provides specific suggestions for experiencing biblical reconciliation while maintaining cultural sensitivity and protecting the honor of those involved.

Surfaces and Essences

Analogy as the Fuel and Fire of Thinking

By: Douglas R Hofstadter,Emmanuel Sander

Analogy is the core of all thinking. This is the simple but unorthodox premise that Pulitzer Prize -- winning author Douglas Hofstadter and French psychologist Emmanuel Sander defend in their new work. Hofstadter has been grappling with the mysteries of human thought for over thirty years. Now, with his trademark wit and special talent for making complex ideas vivid, he has partnered with Sander to put forth a highly novel perspective on cognition. We are constantly faced with a swirling and intermingling multitude of ill-defined situations. Our brain's job is to try to make sense of this unpredictable, swarming chaos of stimuli. How does it do so? The ceaseless hail of input triggers analogies galore, helping us to pinpoint the essence of what is going on. Often this means the spontaneous evocation of words, sometimes idioms, sometimes the triggering of nameless, long-buried memories. Why did two-year-old Camille proudly exclaim, "I undressed the banana!"? Why do people who hear a story often blurt out, "Exactly the same thing happened to me!" when it was a completely different event? How do we recognize an aggressive driver from a split-second glance in our rearview mirror? What in a friend's remark triggers the offhand reply, "That's just sour grapes"? What did Albert Einstein see that made him suspect that light consists of particles when a century of research had driven the final nail in the coffin of that long-dead idea? The answer to all these questions, of course, is analogy-making -- the meat and potatoes, the heart and soul, the fuel and fire, the gist and the crux, the lifeblood and the wellsprings of thought. Analogy-making, far from happening at rare intervals, occurs at all moments, defining thinking from top to toe, from the tiniest and most fleeting thoughts to the most creative scientific insights. Like Gö, Escher, Bach before it, Surfaces and Essences will profoundly enrich our understanding of our own minds. By plunging the reader into an extraordinary variety of colorful situations involving language, thought, and memory, by revealing bit by bit the constantly churning cognitive mechanisms normally completely hidden from view, and by discovering in them one central, invariant core -- the incessant, unconscious quest for strong analogical links to past experiences -- this book puts forth a radical and deeply surprising new vision of the act of thinking.

“I Have Kept the Faith”

By: Albert Emmanuel Anderson,Aimee Filan Anderson

Foreword: By: daughter: Deborah Dawn Anderson Chase As the oldest of the six children of Albert E and Aimee D Anderson, I have always seemed to carry the torch for our family legacy. I have “great” and “awesome” memories of the many sermons my dad preached throughout his years of ministry in the pulpit, as well as the “many” sermons that were preached to us kids before and during our times of discipline after doing something we were told not to do! Both were invaluable in my upbringing; and I will always be grateful for that. I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that this book will be an invaluable tool for the “new” Christian just beginning his journey, the “seasoned” Christian wanting a deeper walk with the Lord, or the person that is simply “searching” for something that is missing in their lives! Jesus wants to be sought after by all humanity; and it is only after finding “HIM” the giver of life, that true happiness lies. May you be as blessed reading this book as I was living it day in and day out!

Conspiracy Theory and Its Consequence

The Evil That Men Do Lives After Them

By: Rev. Emmanuel Tamba Fayiah

Reverend Emmanuel Tamba Fayiah was born in 1958 to Moslem and African traditional worshipping parents. He is a member of the Kissi/Gissi tribe on the west coast of Africa. He started in the capital city, Freetown, and completed his high school in Liberia. It was in the city of Freetown where he studied Arabic up to the seventh grade and became a Moslem. In 1984, he got saved, got baptized, studied the Christian faith in several Bible institutions and later began to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ after he got his calling. During the civil war in Liberia in the 90s, he was shot in the arm and later had the opportunity to travel to the United States, where he got a political asylum benefit. He is currently with his wife and four children, leaving one who was missing in action as they were fleeing the war. This book is written based on a series of experiences he had about the consequence of conflict. It expresses and warns the dangers that follow. The evil that men do lives after them has been his emphasis. He had also written his first book, Teachings on the Turbulence of Time in Human Lives, besides two other books that will soon follow.
