Brahana Selassie is a product of the African-Caribbean Diaspora
from Grenada. As a young man of twenty in 1975, he discovered and
then became a convert to the unique ancient multi-layered world of
Ethiopia's ancient Nile Valley civilisation. He then immersed
himself in studying its origins and continuity into the 20th
century. Two out of an unbroken chain of precious pearls he
discovered from his studies are: * Ethiopia's possession of the
cradle for the scientific study of the origins of the human race in
its section of Africa's Great Rift Valley in the Afar Triangle. *
Its rich biblical faith and life heritage, associated with the
sacred ancestral family unit of Abraham, Sarah and Hagar that gave
birth to three of the major living religions of the world: Judaism,
Christianity, Islam. Receiving the Ethiopian Orthodox Priesthood in
1980, Brahana Selassie has matured into a multi-skilled
communicator involved with various dialogue partners, in which he
has shared chosen topical subject areas of Ethiopia's wealthy
galaxy of precious and unique mystical treasures, as it relates to
Africa's people on the continent, in its diaspora, and with the
international community of scholars.
Brahana Selassie is a priest in the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, and
here gives an account of Ethiopia's national Church from its
origins in biblical times to the present century. Drawing
extensively on both biblical and academic sources, 'Towards a
Fuller Vision' describes the controversies that have raged within
the Church, and its constant struggle for the independent existence
it has now achieved.

multiparticulate drug delivery systems details the idiosyncrasies
of the manufacturing process of hard-shell gelatin capsules
explains the different kinds of packaging materials and machinery
and the importance of packaging during the development phase and
beyond previews the marketing considerations of multiparticulate

The history of the often-overlooked chewa Ethiopian warriors and
their crucial role in defending their homeland against invasion, as
well as their strong influence on political identity and the social
infrastructure. Today best known for their role in defending
Ethiopia from Italian invasion 1935-41, chewa warriors protected
Ethiopia for centuries. Yet, depicted by some 19th-century Western
observers as little more than "a horde" of warmongers, and later
suppressed by Ethiopian monarchs who sought to create a centralized
modern state, their contribution has been neglected. Drawing on
oral and written sources, as well as the zeraf poetry through which
theyexpressed themselves, this book explores for the first time in
depth the history, practices and principles of warriorhood of the
chewa, and their wider influence on society and state. Often
self-trained individuals who began by defending their communities,
by the end of the 19th century there were chewa warrior groups from
almost all linguistic groups who fought together to resist foreign
invaders. Some chewa enrolled in the service of the Ethiopian
"kings of kings", who organized them as named corps that
supplemented the formal defence of the state. Today, chewa
political identity, which transcended social, familial, political
and other groupings, remains deeply rooted in Ethiopian society.

"A POWERFUL WORK OF SPIRITUALITY AND ANTI-RACISM"-Publishers Weekly
"IF YOU READ ONE BOOK IN 2020, MAKE IT THIS ONE."-Tricycle From
much-admired meditation expert Sebene Selassie, You Belong is a
call to action, exploring our tangled relationship with belonging,
connection, and each other You are not separate. You never were.
You never will be. We are not separate from each other. But we
don't always believe it, and we certainly don't always practice it.
In fact, we often practice the opposite-disconnection and
domination. From unconscious bias to "cancel culture," denial of
our inherent interconnection limits our own freedom. In You Belong,
much-admired meditation expert Sebene Selassie reveals that
accepting our belonging is the key to facing the many challenges
currently impacting our world. Using ancient philosophy,
multidisciplinary research, exquisite storytelling, and razor-sharp
wit, Selassie leads us in an exploration of all the ways we
separate (and thus suffer) and offers a map back to belonging. To
belong is to experience joy in any moment: to feel pleasure, dance
in public, accept death, forgive what seems unforgivable, and
extend kindness to yourself and others. To belong is also to
acknowledge injustice, reckon with history, and face our own
shadows. Full of practical advice and profound revelations, You
Belong makes a winning case for resisting the forces that demand
separation and reclaiming the connection-and belonging-that have
been ours all along.
This volume describes a 3.6 million-years-old partial skeleton of
Australopithecus afarensis from the Woranso-Mille, central Afar,
Ethiopia. This specimen is the first adult partial skeleton to be
recovered since Lucy's (A.L. 288-1) discovery in 1974. It is older
than Lucy by 400,000 years and sheds light on the paleobiology of
early Australopithecus afarensis, particularly the morphology of
the shoulder girdle and thoracic shape, which are thus far poorly
understood and actively debated. The fauna associated with the
partial skeleton tells us enormously about Au. afarensis
paleoecology and give us another piece of the puzzle regarding
habitat availability and use for Au. afarensis outside the Hadar
region where it has been well-known for the last four decades.

Emperor Haile Selassie was an iconic figure of the twentieth
century, a progressive monarch who ruled Ethiopia from 1916 to
1974. This book, written by a former state official who served in a
number of important positions in Selassie's government, tells both
the story of the emperor's life and the story of modern
Ethiopia.
After a struggle for the throne in 1916, the young Selassie emerged
first as regent and then as supreme leader of Ethiopia. Over the
course of his nearly six-decade rule, the emperor abolished
slavery, introduced constitutional reform, and expanded educational
opportunity. The Italian invasion of Ethiopia in the 1930s led to a
five-year exile in England, from which he returned in time to lead
his country through World War II. Selassie was also instrumental in
the founding of the Organization of African Unity in 1963, but he
fell short of the ultimate goal of a promised democracy in
Ethiopia. The corruption that grew under his absolute rule, as well
as his seeming indifference to the famine that gripped Ethiopia in
the 1970s, led finally to his overthrow by the armed forces that he
had created.
Haile Selassie was an enlightened monarch in many ways, but also a
man with flaws like any other. This short biography is a sensitive
portrayal of Selassie as both emperor and man, by one who knew him
well.
