    Excavations carried out in 1970 in the Lebombo mountains of Southern Africa, uncovered the fossilised leg bone of a baboon, estimated to be 37,000 years old, that had 29 scratches carved into it.In 1937 the fossilised bone of a wolf was found in Czechoslovakia, that had 37 scratches on its length, grouped in fives. This bone was estimated to be 30,000 years old.Ancient peoples realised that it was useful to group the marks into equal size bundles and invent symbols for the bundles. Thus arithmetic was born.Part 1 of this book studies the symbols invented by Babylonians, Egyptians, the Greeks, the Chinese, Etruscans and Romans, the Maya and the Hindus.In 628 AD the Indian mathematician Brahmagupta defined the number zero and described the base ten positional number system in his book called "e;The Opening of the Universe"e;. In 1202, Fibonacci, the son of a Venetian merchant, describes the Indian base ten number system in his book "e;Liber Abaci"e; that resulted in this arithmetic being introduced into Europe.Part 2 introduces number systems in other bases, in particular, Binary, Octal and Hexadecimal as used in modern computers and the ASCII codes used for storing letters of the alphabet and other symbols.Part 3 deals with the construction and rules for negative and fractional numbers, why we add, multiply and divide fractions in the way we do. It defines complex numbers, gives the meaning of the square root of minus one and shows how complex numbers are represented on the Argand diagram. It solves quadratic and cubic equations and shows how De Moivre's Theorem can be used to find roots of complex numbers.

    The earls of Strathmore and their predecessors are inextricably linked to Glamis Castle, which attracts thousands of visitors each year. However, there is a danger that the earls and their predecessors are not receiving the attention they deserve. They are merely represented by the family portraits on the walls, the genealogical tree to be found at the back of the guidebook, and an occasional mention in the media. For most of their existence, they were not primarily concerned with houses and filling them with works of art, but, more interestingly, amassing and spending money; revelling in the grandeur of high status; and accumulating, wielding, and preserving power.

    How well do we know Hitler? Is he mad? If so, is he still criminally culpable for his crimes? Assuming one accepts the existence of evil, is he evil?If Hitler is a criminal, what about the acts of other leaders? Is Churchill equal to Hitler, when we note he starved three million Bengalis in 1943? Why is Churchill not also an immoral man for being the first leader to use chemical weapons post-1918? The French ultimately killed one million Algerians whose crime was to seek independence. The Americans dropped more bombs on Laos than all bombs dropped throughout World War Two. Is that not a crime too? But who thinks of LBJ and Nixon as mass murderers, on par with Hitler? Bush the father and son, Bill Clinton, Tony Blair and Gordon Brown ensure over half a million Iraqis starved to death, thanks to the sanctions they imposed. Are they not mass murderers? If not, why is that?If Hitler is mad, what about the significant number of Germans who fanatically followed him? Were they too mad? Can an entire nation be mad?Why did the Allies conspicuously avoid disrupting Hitler's Holocaust?What about Hitler's disciples - how do they explain their deeds?This novel is an interrogation of the mind not only of Hitler, but of his fanatic disciples who carried out mass murders on a daily basis and who were on the surface 'normal' men and women.

    They went with songs to the battle, they were young,Straight of limb, true of eye, steady and aglow.They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted;They fell with their faces to the foe./They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.At the going down of the sun and in the morningWe will remember them.

    Members of the UN Security Council (UNSC) frequently use veto in international disputes. Although it serves to bypass large scale conflicts, the necessary actions often delay and the UN may lose the trust of people.Instead of veto, UNSC should allow for a Jury Court to make a decision. It could be adapted from Heliaia operating in ancient Athenian democracy. Heliaia was selected from voluntarily registered, unpunished people by lot. The Jury Court could be operated similarly, via Internet. A computer program could select the court members depending on their broad geographical representation and the ranking list of nations in sustainable development and integration competition randomly. Court members could decide on affairs by a simple majority. This way, the UNSC could not be paralyzed in any case of decision-making.Dear reader, the book consists of much more, for instance a possible methodology and model for the UN profound reform.

    This book highlights the importance of ensuring that an organisation's management system is able to consistently achieve an effective outcome.Unfortunately, in many cases, an organisation's personnel just blindly follow their system without considering how effective or efficient it is.Where there are known problems with any process, it is imperative to gather reliable information on the cause otherwise improvements cannot be implemented.It is important to look at the examples given in the book to judge if the activities undertaken can be justified.Ecah section of the book is standalone, therefire, some repetition is inevitable; this books aims to challenge the accepted approach.To facilitate this, where there are no acceptable current terms or definitions, new terms have been introduced and earlier versions of definitions are sometimes preferred.The book is not prescriptive; if readers believe that the examples in the book could be improved upon, then the organisation's own systems may be modified to benefit them.This book gives basic guidance on how to gather information and plan improvements.It is deliberately kept as imple as possible to allow organisations to take action by gathering information immediately.Constructive comments are welcome and can be sent by email to daveseear@btinternet.comThis is the 5th book by David John Seear. It is hoped that this book will start a debate on what is currently accepted with the intention of reducing "Chronic Waste".

    The Gola Forest covers a vast area of the eastern part of Sierra Leone, starting from the Malema, Gaura, Nomo, Tunkia and Makpeli chiefdoms and stretching on to the Moro River that forms the international border between Sierra Leone and Liberia. The Gola Forest has many of the largest animals and fauna and it was in that region where I was born, raised to enjoy the conviviality of the natural environment.As children, we were left to grow and adventure many things. Sometimes we roamed for hours in the jungle of the Gola Forest, discovering things under the coolness of the trees which were responsible for creating a type of jungle air conditioning, until the parents decided that it was time learn a trade, Qur'an madrassa or attend other schools which were usually too far away in different areas.This haunting, hilarious, memorable narrative of my childhood enriched my life at primary and secondary schools, from the jungle village on the back waters of the Eastern Province in Sierra Leone.
