A first-ever collection of contemporary Muslim women’s khutbahs (sermons) drawing on their social, religious, and spiritual experiences and framed by original reflections on an emerging Muslim feminist ethics

Within the Muslim world, there is a dynamic and exciting social change afoot: a number of communities across the globe have embraced more gender-inclusive and representative ideas of religious authority. Within some spaces, women have taken on the role of preacher at the Jumu’ah (Friday) communal prayers. In other communities, women have been leading the prayers, officiating at marriage and funeral ceremonies, or participating on mosque boards or executive committees. These new developments signify a transformation in contemporary positions on gender and religious authority.

This pioneering book makes an innovative contribution to Muslim feminist ethics. It is grounded in a collection of religious sermons (khutbahs) by contemporary Muslim women in a variety of new and emerging contexts, in South Africa, Senegal, Egypt, Malaysia, Pakistan, Indonesia, Canada, Mexico, the United States, Germany, Denmark, and the United Kingdom.

It is not unusual for even seasoned educators to express some bewilderment about teaching in today's fast-paced, technological, outcome-oriented environment. The overwhelming quantity of media messages bombarding learners has led them to develop a significant level of scepticism towards any information that they receive, and the old methods of teaching no longer seem to be effective. An educator's guide to effective classroom management provides clear and concise discussions of classroom management aspects within a present day South African context. An educator's guide to effective classroom management gives educators an opportunity to question and enhance their approach to teaching and to reduce the bureaucracy of their classrooms. It provides valuable knowledge, practical ideas and advice on the development of a personal classroom management plan to suit individual styles of teaching and thus promote successful learning. It is student centred and interactive, including practical activities and mind maps for clarity as well as opportunities for self-assessment. It also provides an education law and policy framework to help educators to manage their classrooms in a lawful manner and to avoid legal issues. An educator's guide to effective classroom management is aimed at pre-service education students as well as already practising educators who wish to improve their classroom practice.

The contextual turn in the field of entrepreneurship means it is crucial for scholars to integrate into their research the multifaceted contexts in which entrepreneurship is embedded.

Featuring cutting-edge research, Contextual Embeddedness of Entrepreneurship presents a wide range of theoretical approaches undertaken to study entrepreneurial behaviour and processes, analysing their relevance to policy and practice. Chapters examine these approaches through the lens of specific issues and circumstances related to digital, edtech, social, international and peripheral entrepreneurship, exploring diverse perspectives and illustrating how different contexts shape entrepreneurial activity and its outcomes. The book ultimately demonstrates how changing environmental conditions for entrepreneurship – including crises, societal challenges and increasing digitalisation – can open up new avenues for research into the embeddedness of entrepreneurship. Illustrating the continuous evolution of studies in entrepreneurship, this discerning book will stimulate the research of students and scholars of business and management. Its up-to-date empirical approaches and practical insights will also benefit entrepreneurship researchers and practitioners.

As head phoenix keeper at a world-renowned zoo for magical creatures, Aila's childhood dream of conserving critically endangered firebirds seems closer than ever. There's just one glaring caveat: her zoo's breeding program hasn't functioned for a decade. When a tragic phoenix heist sabotages the flagship initiative at a neighbouring zoo, Aila must prove her derelict facilities are fit to take the reins. But saving an entire species from extinction requires more than stellar animal handling skills. Carnivorous water horses, tempestuous thunderhawks, mischievous dragons... Aila has no problem wrangling beasts. Inspiring zoo patrons? That's another story. Mustering the courage to ask for help from the hotshot griffin keeper at the zoo's most popular exhibit? Virtually impossible. Especially when the hotshot griffin keeper in question just so happens to be her arch-rival from college: Luciana, an annoyingly brooding and even more annoyingly insufferable know-it-all with the grace of a goblin and the face of a goddess who's convinced that Aila's beloved phoenix would serve their cause better as an active performer rather than as a passive conservation exhibit. With the world watching and the threat of poachers looming, Aila's success is no longer merely a matter of keeping her job... She is the keeper of the phoenix, and the future of a species now rests on her shoulders. There's just one thing she has to remember: she is also not alone. Against an epic fantasy backdrop teeming with all your favourite mythical beasts from dragons and unicorns to kelpies and krakens, The Phoenix Keeper combines the fierce joy of cozy fantasy kings TJ Klune and Travis Baldree with the soul-restoring romance of queer icons Alice Oseman and Casey McQuiston.

Ce livre presente l'analyse particuliere des principaux elements des conflits, des confrontations et de l'instabilite en Afrique. Le plus notable de ces elements etant le decoupage des frontieres herite de la colonisation, ancre a la Conference OAU d'Addis Abeba en 1963. Viennent ensuite les questions liees aux tensions internes, les rivalites intra-ethniques, les confrontations inter-etats, la politique, la pauvrete, le desequilibre structurel des Etats, l'exploitation, la marginalisation, les conditions climatiques difficiles, les risques environnementaux, les rivalites Est/Ouest, l'externalisation, l'internalisation et les interets extra-africains, le militarisme, la militarisation, les depots d'armes, les frais de defense factices, la dette et le syndrome de dependance, etc. Les atteintes a la securite nationale qui en ont resulte, a la construction de nations et les concurrences acharnees pour le pouvoir politique ont resulte en coups d'etat , contre coups, dictatures abjectes, courses aux armements conventionnels alimentees par des interets commerciaux et des interets externes a l'Afrique. Avec la proliferation d'armes locales et legeres qui en a resulte, l'imperatif de troubles dans les conflits nationaux et mondiaux, la crainte de l'utilisation possible d'armes de destruction massive, la famine, les exploitations centre-peripherie, les traites de defense invalidants et le piege de la dette, il etait ecrit que les trois premieres decennies de l'independance apporteraient plus de destabilisation, de desintegration, voire d'effondrement des etats. L'ultime defaite du communisme a ete declenchee par le besoin pour l'Ouest d'un Agenda pour la Paix et, par ce biais, d'un Nouvel Ordre Mondial (NWO), post-fracture Est/Est. Fort malheureusement pour l'Afrique, la nouvelle opposition apparente des puissances mondiales a fait surgir la dure realite que, maintenant que le conflit Est/Ouest est resolu, l'Afrique se retrouve toute seule. Livree a une periode de confrontation mondiale particulierement intense (Guerre froide), les pays africains doivent maintenant faire face a une autre guerre, dans un climat geopolitique international non conflictuel. Ainsi, apres la Guerre froide qui s'est soldee par la paix entre Orient et Occident, une autre paix " brulante " a emerge en Afrique, marque d'une autre facette de destabilisation, de destruction d'etats, de dictatures, d'accroissement des depenses de defense et, bien sur - malheureusement, d'une possible recolonisation imminente, - economique, politique, strategique et commerciale, appelant a un autre Ordre mondial!
