In the beginning, when God created the black man, He gave all his wisdom to his first creations without boundaries and fears. Unfortunately, for far too long, black men have been portrayed negatively in our society and by the daily rhetoric that surrounds us. In their comprehensive study compiled with facts, stories, and historical experiences, husband and wife team Mr. Michael and Ms. C illustrate to all black men that they should no longer feel degraded, but instead be bursting with pride about their heritage. Beginning with essays on life in Africa and the movement of the black man to the United States, Mr. Michael and Ms. C transition into issues concerning the contemporary African American community, providing a glimpse into the truth they hope will help black men gain a clearer vision of their race, others, and our planet. By encouraging black men to face racial hatred and demand respect, Mr. Michael and Ms. C lay a foundation intended to help all black men find the purpose of their existence. Also included are biographies of famous black men who overcame obstacles and changed the world. Why I Am So Proud to Be a Black Man shares the knowledge that can open the eyes, minds, and hearts of the African American community, enabling all to embrace Gods first, primal purpose.
Many Martial Arts Instructors have a desire to run a Martial Arts Club, School or Dojo. But whatever they call it, and however they regard it, when they open, they enter the world of business - a world for which many are unprepared. No Martial Arts Syllabus contains modules on 'how to attract new students without wasting money on useless advertising', or 'how to plan to improve the retention rate of your students', or on 'the best options for collecting tuition fees'! This book is written to give you the knowledge your Syllabus missed out. It's not a 'how to sell out on your Martial Art Principles' book, but, rather, it's a 'Business Lessons for the Martial Artist' book, or, if you like... "How to Become a Black Belt in Business." One thing is for sure, if you are going to enter the 'World of Business' it's better for you to be a 'Business Black Belt', than a novice 'Business White Belt'!
This newly revised and updated seventh edition of FOUNDATIONS OF ASTRONOMY shows students their place in the universe - not just their location, but also their role as planet dwellers in an evolving universe. Fascinating and engaging, the book illustrates how science works, and how scientists depend on evidence to test hypotheses. Students will learn to focus on the scientific method through the strong central theme of "how we know what we know." Through a discussion of this interplay between evidence and hypothesis, Seeds provides not just a series of facts, but also a conceptual framework for understanding the logic of astronomical knowledge. The book vividly conveys the author's love of astronomy, shows students how the universe can be described by a small set of physical laws, and illustrates how they can comprehend their place in the universe by understanding these laws, rather than simply memorizing facts. By crafting a story about astronomy, Seeds shows students how to ask questions of nature and therefore gradually puzzle out the beautiful secrets of the physical world. The book's use of mathematics is incorporated into the body of the text (as well as in separate sections for easy reference), but the arguments of the text do not depend on mathematical reasoning, allowing math-averse students to easily follow the story. The revision covers the history of astronomy, elementary physics concepts, stars and galaxies, the origins of the universe, and the solar system.
