In The Secrets of Hidden Knowledge, author Prof. Ayub V. O. Ofulla presents the basic physics of life as it relates to molecular physical realities of life itself or social life as it relates to the individual. Grounded on physical, biological, and social sciences intertwined with information from ancient writings and scriptures, The Secrets of Hidden Knowledge provides the foundation to help you maintain order in your life, avoid or tackle situations that are chaotic and act as stumbling blocks, and embrace unavoidable chaotic situations and use them for innovative survival and faster progress. You can also come to understand how the basic nature of the physical universe is part and parcel of your life and realize the part of nature your life occupies and how it shapes you and your progress or failure in the world. You can successfully exist and change your attitude to live a peaceful, harmonious, and progressive life. Provocative and informative, The Secrets of Hidden Knowledge shows that ever-prevalent chaos brings failure. Thus, it is imperative to create a balance to only allow a bit of chaos to help us embrace change, conduct research, and innovate to help us progress and live more harmonious lives. This book demonstrates how we can learn from Mother Nature whose creative genius consists in nothing but perpetual ordering of chaos The book will both inform and inspire - Oliver Okoth Achila, JKUAT Scholar

Why are some genocides prominently remembered while others are ignored, hidden, or denied? Consider the Turkish campaign denying the Armenian genocide, followed by the Armenian movement to recognize the violence. Similar movements are building to acknowledge other genocides that have long remained out of sight in the media, such as those against the Circassians, Greeks, Assyrians, the indigenous peoples in the Americas and Australia, and the violence that was the precursor to and the aftermath of the Holocaust. The contributors to this collection look at these cases and others from a variety of perspectives. These essays cover the extent to which our biases, our ways of knowing, our patterns of definition, our assumptions about truth, and our processes of remembering and forgetting as well as the characteristics of generational transmission, the structures of power and state ideology, and diaspora have played a role in hiding some events and not others. Noteworthy among the collection’s coverage is whether the trade in African slaves was a form of genocide and a discussion not only of Hutus brutalizing Tutsi victims in Rwanda, but of the execution of moderate Hutus as well. Hidden Genocides is a significant contribution in terms of both descriptive narratives and interpretations to the emerging subfield of critical genocide studies.

An important and valuable academic look at knowledge and learning.

Oscar McKinley shares his thoughts on the American presidency, including the legacy of Barack Obama and the rise and election of Donald Trump in this collection of essays and observations. He encourages readers to give Obama credit, writing, President Obama was the greatest president of all time. I truly think there was only one leader in history similar to him, and it was Alexander the Great. No other leader comes close. He has set the tone for modern-day world leadership, and the world loves his style of leading. When this president was leading, those were the good old days, and America was great. He also seeks to get readers to see the truth about Trump, calling him a crazy con man straight out of a comic book. He observes, Donald Trump seems to be a likable guy, but theres a problem: he lies constantly. He leaves most Americans thinking that hes the type of guy who wants a gun in one hand and the Confederate flag in the other, and there is no middle ground. Most of his followers dont like black people and seem to be filled with hate. Youll laugh and cringe with the political insights in Hidden Knowledge.
