Freedom from Want: The Human Right to Adequate Food (Advancing Human Rights Series)
There is, literally, a world of difference between the statements "Everyone should have adequate food," and "Everyone has the right to adequate food." In George Kent's view, the lofty rhetoric of the first statement will not be fulfilled until we take the second statement seriously. Kent sees hunger as a deeply political problem. Too many people do not have adequate control over local resources and cannot create the circumstances that would allow them to do meaningful, productive work and provide for themselves. The human right to an adequate livelihood, including the human right to adequate food, needs to be implemented worldwide in a systematic way. Freedom from Want makes it clear that feeding people will not solve the problem of hunger, for feeding programs can only be a short-term treatment of a symptom, not a cure. The real solution lies in empowering the poor. Governments, in particular, must ensure that their people face enabling conditions that allow citizens to provide for themselves. In a wider sense, Kent brings an understanding of human rights as a universal system, applicable to all nations on a global scale. If, as Kent argues, everyone has a human right to adequate food, it follows that those who can empower the poor have a duty to see that right implemented, and the obligation to be held morally and legally accountable for seeing that that right is realized for everyone, everywhere..

The Poetry of Alan Greenspan: Recorded Rather Painstakingly, but Nevertheless with Adequate Regard for the Author's Central Thrust
What would the poetry of Alan Greenspan sound like? Find out now. A humorous view from 30,000 feet as the chairman offers his views on love, the economy, existence, politics and history, technology, and more. You'll never be able to read the newspaper with a straight face again! What was the Chairman thinking when he proposed to his wife, Andrea Mitchell? What relationship does he see between love and the movement of interest rates? Why does he talk so obtusely? What does it feel like to ponder raising interest rates? What is it like to survey the entire world economy, and pull the levers that make it run? You'll get the long view of a man who can jump from the tools of cavemen to the Internet in a single couplet. What does the Chairman think of the Internet, the IPO phenomenon, round the clock trading, the Wealth Effect, Bill Clinton's personal problems, Big Brother, Internet hackers and the national debt? Best yet, the Chairman is also a musician. It turns out he loves to sing about the economy using popular songs you'll recognize, but with lyrics that address such issues as global exchange rates, the consumer price index and the balanced budget amendment. If you can read between the lines to see the humor in the business world, if you've ever laughed at a Dilbert cartoon, the Chairman will make you laugh out loud-in a bull or bear market. .

The Sensation of Being Somebody, Building an Adequate Self Concept
God+me=ME a whole person,was coined by Dr. Wagner 35 years ago in order to express the Biblical truth that a new identity is born in us when we invite Jesus to take control of our lives.When I receive Christ, a new person starts to grow, and a new nature begins to develop As this new nature is nourished by Gods Word, it becomes more and more mature, and the awareness that I am somebody to God becomes more and more dominant. It is this security which frees me from the control of the old nature and the illusions of the past. Now, I can feel that I really am somebody, because I am somebody to God. This work was one of the first of its kind during the last century. The psychology that God has placed in the Biblepredates all human attempts to explain mental development. From Scripture, Dr. Wagner has distilled a unique system of threes that explains the development of the human identity. This system mirrors Gods revelation of His identity as triune and reveals how we are created in His image. Here you will find practical principles that will give solutions to personal problems and will help you understand yourself and others. This is a Bible study with useful applications. It will give insight almost immediately so that you can begin to experience for yourself, The Sensation of Being Somebody.
