Banda M: Steadfast and Solid

Steadfast and Solid

The autobiography of rev Maxwell Mezuwa Banda

'A tale of rapacious colonialism, Cold War spy games, dazzling technical innovation, big business rivalry, big power geopolitics [...] an unflinching, landmark work on the nature of extractive capitalism.' Patrick Radden Keefe, bestselling author of Empire of Painand Say Nothing'Joseph Conrad called colonial ventures in Africa "the vilest scramble for loot that ever disfigured the history of human conscience". After reading this book you might want to add the words "until now"' The TimesHow we became addicted to a supply chain that wreaks havoc across the globe.Epic, shocking, and deeply reported, The Elements of Power tells the story of the war for the global supply of battery metals - essential for the decarbonization of our economies - and the terrible, bloody human cost of this badly misunderstood industry.Congo is rich. Swaths of the war-torn African country lack basic infrastructure, and, after many decades of colonial occupation, its people are officially among the poorest in the world. But hidden beneath the soil are vast quantities of cobalt, lithium, copper, tin, tantalum, tungsten, and other treasures. Recently, this veritable periodic table of resources has become extremely valuable because these metals are essential for the global "energy transition"-the plan for wealthy nations to wean themselves off fossil fuels by shifting to sustainable forms of energy, such as solar and wind. The race to electrify the world's economy has begun, and China has a considerable head start. From Indonesia to South America to Central Africa, Beijing has invested in mines and infrastructure for decades. But the U.S. has begun fighting back with massive investments of its own, as well as sanctions and disruptive tariffs.In this rush for green energy, the world has become utterly reliant on resources unearthed far away and willfully blind to the terrible political, environmental, and social consequences of their extraction. If the Democratic Republic of the Congo possesses such riches, why are its children routinely descending deep into treacherous mines to dig with the most rudimentary of tools, or in some cases their bare hands? Why are Indonesia's seas and skies being polluted in a rush for battery metals? Why is the Western Sahara, a source for phosphates, still being treated like a colony? Who must pay the price for progress?With unparalleled, original reporting, Nicolas Niarchos reveals how the scramble to control these metals and their production is overturning the world order, just as the global race to drill for oil shaped the twentieth century. Exploring the advent of the lithium-ion battery and tracing the supply chain for its production, Niarchos tells the story both of the people driving these tectonic changes and those whose lives are being upended. He reveals the true, devastating consequences of our best intentions and helps us prepare for an uncertain future. If you have ever used a smartphone or driven an electric vehicle, you are implicated.

A Story of War, Technology and the Dirtiest Supply Chain on Earth

The Elements of Power

'"I liked the Jewish jokes," she says. "Oh, it's OK", I say. "I'm allowed to make them." Her eyes light up. And so it all begins.' When Max meets Eliana, a dazzling modern Orthodox Jewish girl, in a bar in Edinburgh one night, he never expected it to kickstart an agonising identity crisis. While their connection is instant and deep, Max discovers a devastating truth: that despite his upbringing, to millions around the world, including the girl he's fallen for, he is deemed non-Jewish. Determined to build a future with her, comedian and writer (and uncircumcised liberal Jew) Max Olesker embarks on one of the world's most demanding religious conversion processes. He attempts to navigate the dizzying complexities of Jewish law, the challenges of maintaining a relationship without physical contact, and the looming prospect of a date with a scalpel. From moving into the home of an Orthodox family for eight months to enduring gruelling interrogations by a high court of Rabbis, Max's journey is a rollercoaster of humour, heartbreak, and self-discovery. A hilarious and moving true account of one man's quest to marry the love of his life, Making the Cut will make you laugh, cry, and believe in the transformative power of love.

An Unorthodox Love Story

Making the Cut

Fentanyl is a first-person, insider account of how the crisis consumed the Biden Administration amid a series of other national security emergencies. It follows Jake Braun, a senior White House official, and his colleagues while they scramble to respond to the epidemic. As Mexican cartels ruthlessly executed their most radical transformation in 50 years, Braun and his colleagues architected the first U.S. government wide strategy to combat fentanyl in history. The effort brought him to Mexico to meet with Mexican agents who kick down cartel doors for the U.S. government there. He also spent time with data analytics wizards buried in nondescript offices in Virginia suburbs that hunt down Chinese fentanyl precursor chemicals on the Dark Web. He even takes a detour to gather intelligence from Russian migrants in U.S. detention facilities that migrated through cartel-controlled areas of Mexico. In the process, Braun uncovered the remarkable transformation cartels in Mexico underwent over the last 50 years. They morphed from narco-empires the size of Fortune 50 companies specializing in marijuana and cocaine to ones specializing in human migration and, separately, fentanyl. After much painstaking effort, the Biden Administration successfully executed the most sweeping takedown of cartel leadership and fentanyl infrastructure since the crisis began. Due to the efforts of heroic agents, intelligence officers and national security experts, the leviathan U.S. government is now marshaled in ways never before imagined against the Chinese chemical companies and cartels propagating the fentanyl epidemic. Further, the strategy seems to be working. Just a year after it was kicked off, the fentanyl fatalities dropped nearly 37%. Yet the crisis persists. Finally, Braun draws on his unique experience combating the epidemic to outline how the U.S. government can once and for all end the fentanyl crisis in America.

Towards a More Socio-economically Informed Development Discourse

Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking in the Horn of Africa

This book addresses the critical issue of empowering disabled people and enhancing their wellbeing through inclusive, innovative, and value-sensitive assistive technology. Assistive technology is particularly relevant today for a large share of the world's population; approximately two billion individuals who need assistive technology have no sustainable access to it. Access to assistive technology can help prevent and overcome disability-related disadvantages, empowering individuals to engage socially and economically in activities of their choice, making it possible for them to enjoy a fulfilling life. Emphasis is placed on integrating digital solutions with traditional approaches to advance the development and delivery of assistive technology. In contrast, digital assistive technology is not a panacea; innovative assistive technology interventions wield the possibility of new solutions to existing or emerging challenges in the assistive technology space. They can be particularly powerful in low-resource settings, which are currently problematic in matching demand with effective solutions. This book is intended mainly for academic, professional, and educational purposes. The content herein reflects research-based insights, cultural perspectives, and lived experiences related to disability empowerment and assistive technologies.

Global Perspectives on Law and the Environment

The book is a groundbreaking collaborative effort authored by a diverse team of academic scholars and experts. Contributors hail from various corners of Africa and one esteemed scholar from Asia. This dynamic collaboration brings together a wealth of perspectives, enriching the discourse on the ethical dimensions of climate-conscious trade and sustainable development in Africa. Comprising thirteen thought-provoking chapters, this comprehensive work explores the intricate relationship between climate ethics, trade policies, and development strategies on the African continent. The authors delve into the complexities of ethical considerations within Africa's trade landscape, providing a nuanced analysis of how these considerations can shape the trajectory of sustainable development. The book not only navigates the uncertainties highlighted in the UN-commissioned Millennium Ecosystem Assessment but also takes on the crucial task of examining the interactions between indigenous knowledge systems and climate change adaptation. The resulting insights are dynamic, location-specific, and responsive to diverse drivers, offering a holistic understanding of the ethical challenges and opportunities that characterize the African trade and development landscape. An outstanding feature of this collaborative effort is the inclusive approach to the subject matter. The co-authors draw from their diverse expertise, weaving together insights from environmental ethics, political science, and development studies. This interdisciplinary approach ensures a well-rounded exploration of the moral imperatives guiding sustainable trade practices, making the book accessible to scholars and practitioners in the field.&nbsp; The exploration of African metaphysics and ethics within the context of climate change adds a unique and culturally rich dimension to the book. By synthesizing indigenous knowledge with contemporary ethical theories, the authors provide a bridge between tradition and modernity, offering a foundation for structuring ethical standards that resonate with the African experience. The book is a beacon of optimism and a roadmap for a more ethically grounded approach to&nbsp; African trade and development. With its insightful analyses, innovative proposals, and diverse authorship, this book is poised to become an essential resource for academics, policymakers, and anyone interested in the ethical dimensions of climate-conscious trade in Africa.&nbsp;&nbsp;

First published in 1969, African Penal Systems is the first book to explore the problems of African criminology. Sixteen distinguished contributors- sociologists, lawyers, and psychiatrists- each an authority on some aspect of African penal problems, have collaborated to produce it. Its first part gives a general survey of the penal systems of some fourteen African countries, variously English, French, or Portuguese inclined, or wholly autochthonous. Part two includes six specialist contributions on various detailed problems in the development and operation of the modern African systems.In his introduction Alan Milner, describes the sociological forces responsible for the increase of crime in Africa and examines the possibility of the growth of a peculiarly African approach to the solution of its penal problems. This is a must read for scholars and researchers African Studies, criminology, and African Law.

African Penal Systems

Le hasard entre pour une part notable dans toutes les choses humaines. En arrivant à Paris, je fus loin de penser à écrire un livre tel que celui-ci. Plus spécialement disposé, par ma profession d'avocat et mes études ordinaires, à m'occuper des questions relatives aux sciences morales et politiques, je n'avais aucunement l'idée de diriger mon attention vers une sphère où l'on pourrait me considérer comme un profane.La plupart de mes amis croyaient même que j'aurais profité de mon séjour dans la grande capitale pour suivre les cours de la Faculté de droit, afin d'obtenir les diplômes de la licence et du doctorat. Ce serait certainement un résultat bien digne de mon ambition, n'étaient les exigences de la scolarité et mes devoirs de famille. Cependant, à part toute autre raison, j'estime que lorsqu'on n'a pas eu le bonheur de grandir en Europe, mais qu'on a consciencieusement travaillé chez soi pour mériter le titre que l'on porte, il est inutile de recommencer la carrière d'étudiant dans une branche de connaissances déjà parcourue avec plus ou moins de succès. Il y a d'autres besoins de l'esprit qui demandent également à être satisfaits. En y répondant, on compense largement la privation d'un papier infiniment appréciable, mais dont l'absence ne retire rien au mérite du travail accompli en dehors des universités européennes.
