Five years ago, Good Governance Africa undertook to focus its National Security Programme on a core phenomenon that actively seeks to disrupt, undermine and destroy peace, development and security across Africa. This is the problem of extremisms in Africa – an increasing scourge. These movements are religious, ethnic and race-based in nature, and represent complex and supreme threats to stability.
To better prepare ourselves to understand and engage extremist threats in order to prevent, counter and overcome them, GGA has scoured the African continent, producing a collection of close on 50 chapters of knowledge in a trilogy of book volumes (of which this book is the third) covering a plethora of topics across regions and countries, dedicated to markedly diverse themes.
Volume 3 of Extremisms in Africa consists of 17 contributions, and evidences an even greater attention to detail on further developments and potential threats. Topically, given the global COVID-19 pandemic, the book looks at the pressing theme of the weaponisation of viruses; current insurgency developments in northern Mozambique; the impact of extremisms on business; the business that is extremist activity; and the crime–extremism nexus and terror financing in Africa’s Horn. On the tech and cyber front, the book examines the rise of artificial intelligence and social media. To the north, it examines why Libya remains problematic, to the west, we examine why kidnapping is rife there, and to the south, Volume 3 reviews lessons learned for southern Africa, amongst other topics.
South Beach and Miami Beach, Florida, have dozens of whimsical,
colorful, and sometimes wacky lifeguard stands that have become
media stars in their own right, including the "Lighthouse
Guardhouse," the "Surfboard," and the "Putting Green Guardhouse."
In 64 brilliant color photos, these amazing stands and the dazzling
scenery surrounding them are beautifully portrayed. Manned by a
cadre of professional lifeguards, these stations have become a
famous backdrop for the fun-filled life on the sands and in the
seas, as swimmers, boaters, para-sailors, and sun-seekers flock to
the beaches with their cameras and their sunscreen. \nEngaging text
provides the history of these colorful and fanciful lifeguard
stands, and designed in 1992 after Hurricane Andrew, and again
after the storms of 2005. The lifeguard stands currently on the
beach and those lost in years past are all presented and preserved
in this wonderful book.
An environmental children's book about the challenges climate
change poses to polar bears.
