        Today We’re Doing Nothing At All

        by Yuu & Shinn

        A compilation by Yuu and Shinn throughout their long journey.   After graduating from the university in 2015, Yuu set off from Hangzhou and started his plans to cycle to Manchester. Shinn stayed back in Hangzhou to work. Occasionally, she would travel alone or meet up with Yuu at his current location and they would then travel together. Two years later, Shinn resigned from her job and flew to Bulgaria to join Yuu in his rides.   This book records their separate encounters as well as those that they had been through together in Japan, Korea, Mongolia, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Iran, China, Bulgaria, Macedonia and other places. The book looks into the outback and townships, culture and religion, the connection between people and land and also the relationship among people. It also touches on fine matters such as loneliness and moves to vast issues like the mystic universe. Yuu loves to communicate with others through his camera. A story for each shot, his narrative often short and to the point. Shinn is meticulous and good at writing about the human race. She could merge her daily life into her journey, her travel is a journey through time.   Their sojourn was not always free and easy. But they were able to embrace the earth, feel life, effortlessly as they had an abundance of the right spirit.

        Political Islam in Sub-Saharan Africa

        The Need for a New Research and Diplomatic Agenda

        by David Dickson

        Accelerating with the attacks of September 11, 2001, but extending back more than a decade, studies of the growth of Islam as a source of political mobilization have proliferated, but few have examined political Islam on the African subcontinent or broadened the approach beyond transnational terrorism. On July 9, 2004, a conference of Africa experts from academia and the U.S. foreign policymaking community convened at the United States Institute of Peace to begin an examination of this shortcoming and its foreign-policy implications. Ambassador George Ward, director of the U.S. Institute of Peace’s Professional Training Program, and Taylor Seybolt, program officer in the Institute’s Grant Program, chaired conference panels. Presenters included Howard University’s Sulayman Nyang, the University of Connecticut’s Lucy Creevey, and George Mason University’s John Paden. Additional panelists included Malik Chaka, a staff member with the U.S. House of Representatives Subcommittee on Africa, and Ambassador David Shinn, now at George Washington University and former ambassador to Ethiopia, and John Voll of Georgetown University. Africa specialist David Dickson organized the conference and wrote the report. Joseph Sany, an assistant in the Research and Studies Program, provided advice and assistance for the report. Paul Stares, director of Research and Studies, and Abdeslam Maghraoui, associate director for the Institute’s Muslim World Initiative, supervised the drafting of the report. The report provides a brief background on Islam in sub-Saharan Africa and its policy lessons for East Africa, the Horn, Nigeria, and Senegal. A future research agenda for policy analysts and overall recommendations for United States policy conclude the report.

        Guide pratique de choix typographique - troisième édition revue et augmentée

        Nouvelle édition, revue et augmentée : un véritable guide de survie en milieu typographique !

        by David Rault

        Every typeface, beyond its shape, carries its own story and a cultural, historical and social legacy; it creates, by its sole presence on a page, beyond the meaning of the written words, an actual ambiance. This book is here to give you all the keys which will allow you to choose the right font for any given job, and to make a relevant and aesthetic layout. About 60 typefaces are presented along its pages; each of them is analyzed, its designer is presented, as well as the social context and every connotation brought out by its use. A form at the end of the book will allow you to find easily and quickly the right font based on keywords. Furthermore, a few personalities from the world of typography and publishing (Erik Spiekermann, Xavier Dupre, Alejandro Paul, Alain Beaulet or Bas Jacobs) participated to the book by answering the tricky question "what is your favorite typeface?" It is therefore possible to read this book in many different ways: either you need to quickly find the answer to a professional problem, or you read it from beginning to end, as an amator willing to know more about these letters we read without thinking, these familiar alphabets we see everywhere and abouth which we actually don't know much. This new edition, which follows the success of the first print, have been completely reviewed and upgraded, contains 50 pages more, with new typefaces and exclusive participations from Jim Parkinson, Nick Shinn, Etienne Robial, Jean-Christophe Menu and Bruno Leandri.

        Bionics – An Arms Race of the Senses #14

        by Bernd Hill (Author& Illustrator)

        Evolution shows that plants and animals have developed ingenious strategies to protect themselves from predators. Predators, however, developed equally sophisticated senses in order to better detect their prey. The development of survival strategies, hence, resembles an »arms race« of evolution. This book demonstrates how highly effective sensory performance for tracking prey and, in turn, more effective »weapons« for warding off enemies have developed. We learn, for example, how bats can orient themselves in the dark while hunting moths and what remarkable techniques moths use to protect themselves from their nocturnal hunters.

        Master Key Arcana

        by Charles F. Haanel and others (Thomas Troward, Dr. T.R. Sanjivi, James Allen)

        When The Master Key System was first released circa 1916, it created quite a stir. It was supposedly banned by some groups and rumors abounded about it influencing some of the most wealthy and powerful people in the world. Master Key Arcana contains a wealth of new writings by Charles F. Haanel and others, some of which were “lost” as time passed. It is the perfect companion to those who have read The Master Key System. It is also a wonderful introduction to what many consider to be the finest book ever written on the powers of the mind and how to attain your goals, dreams, and desires. Included in this handy and illuminating tome are: ▪ A unique psychological chart to help assess where you stand and how you can improve. ▪ Writings about The Master Key System to help you better understand Haanel and his ideas. ▪ Writings that influenced Mr. Haanel, such as Judge Thomas Troward and Henry Drummond. ▪ Images of Haanel’s original and now rare correspondence courses. ▪ The “lost” parts of The Master Key System published for the first time in over sixty years. Master Key Arcana is a wonderful look at the influences of The Master Key System, how it influenced others, and how to best utilize it to attain your full potential. The “lost” parts are worth the price of admission alone. The results of reading this book, though, are priceless.
