Book Description
Most Americans look at Operation Desert Storm as the 100-hr Nintendo War. They watched it on TV, and the bomb sight footage resembled a video game. Most Americans were unaffected by the war as only 500,000+ participated. When the fighting was over, the troops came home, there was a parade, and everything went back to normal-the way it had been 8 months earlier. The No-Fly-Zones, occasional diplomatic scuffles, sanctions, and nearly annual bombing campaigns were little more than nightly news sideshows. every single Iraqi was a target in the war. Hundreds of thousands of Iraqis were killed, wounded, tortured, or at least impoverished. Some say those numbers may even be in the millions. Saddam never saw the war as having ended, and he said so weekly-even daily for 12 more years. With American and British bombers flying overhead, with Saddam still in power, with sanctions starving them, and with the repeated bombing campaigns, the war had in effect lasted for 12 full years. Hundreds of thousands more would die, and millions more suffered from the actions of Saddam, the United Nations, and from the United States. their hands of Iraq, and had to endure little more than the nightly news 2-3 minute reminders. Despite the massive death toll, for Americans, the period between Operation Desert Storm and Operation Iraqi Freedom truly was an ignored war.

Book Description
“Non-violence leads to the highest ethics, which is the goal of all evolution. Until we stop harming all other living beings, we are still savages.” Thomas A. Edison, Inventor. This book though based upon medical and public health documentation regarding the dramatic and remarkable benefi ts resulting from plant based nutrition serves as an opening gesture for further research and documentation to support the importance of our species acknowledging its true, compassionate and humane diet. However, it is unavoidable that this endeavor involve the “Institution of Religions”, the principle advocates for God’s Commandments. When the commandment,” Thou shall not kill”, is observed and followed by humanity, we will transcend our callous disregard for other species life forms and will therefore evolve as a species to manifest the Christ-like spirit and the Love and Light of God. When we as a species acknowledge that all life forms are due reverential respect and love, then we as a species will evolve to truly respect and love ourselves.

Book Description
This book, a historic and political account, depicts the daily horror endured by hundreds of thousands of blacks in the south of Mauritania and purposefully ignored by the international community. It also pictures the Senegal river valley or at least the north bank of it as an occupied territory highly militarized by the Mauritanian authorities to keep under terror the original inhabitants -blacks from the Fulani, the Wolof and the Soninke ethnic groups- and allow invaders from the north; Moors in general, Arabs in particular; from the Smassid, Moawiya's tribe in singular to illegally occupy and exploit their farm lands .It explains how the whole process has and is still being orchestrated by the central government in Nouakchott. This document gives the reader the smallest and most accurate details about real life and right from wrong about what is being said about Mauritanian's leaders and policies. It also explains how France, since colonization, has played and continues to play an imminent role in the exclusion, the humiliation and the extermination of blacks in the country.

Book Description
In an unorthodox approach, Georgetown University professor Cal Newport debunks the long-held belief that "follow your passion" is good advice, and sets out on a quest to discover the reality of how people end up loving their careers. Not only are pre-existing passions rare and have little to do with how most people end up loving their work, but a focus on passion over skill can be dangerous, leading to anxiety and chronic job hopping. Spending time with organic farmers, venture capitalists, screenwriters, freelance computer programmers, and others who admitted to deriving great satisfaction from their work, Newport uncovers the strategies they used and the pitfalls they avoided in developing their compelling careers. Cal reveals that matching your job to a pre-existing passion does not matter. Passion comes after you put in the hard work to become excellent at something valuable, not before. In other words, what you do for a living is much less important than how you do it. With a title taken from the comedian Steve Martin, who once said his advice for aspiring entertainers was to "be so good they can't ignore you," Cal Newport's clearly written manifesto is mandatory reading for anyone fretting about what to do with their life, or frustrated by their current job situation and eager to find a fresh new way to take control of their livelihood. He provides an evidence-based blueprint for creating work you love, and will change the way you think about careers, happiness, and the crafting of a remarkable life.
