The World and I
By Raphael Tsu
This book begins with the memory of the invasion of China by Japan, of a child under five years of age, from a prominent Catholic Family, living under the French quarter of Shanghai, protected from the Japanese invader until Pearl Harbor. His love of physics eventually led him to work for the leading scientific laboratories, Bell Labs, IBM, etc. Discovery of new technologies is largely by accidents, while discovery of the world we live in is mainly by careful observations, such as the discovery of the planet Pluto. He suggested that Darwin’s theory of survival of the fittest should include survival of the best Technology. Evolution and disasters involve the rate of change. Any sudden changes too fast to be adapted lead to disasters. Therefore, what is good, usually allows sufficient processes to respond to sudden changes. Discovery of radically new technologies is largely by accidents, while discovery of our world is by careful observations, such as the discovery of the planet Pluto. As a naturalized American citizen for 50 years, he has something to say for the great American Society. We need to keep on top in circumstances such as economy and defense, not forgetting that it takes careful planning and execution in every category including research and development that brought this nation to the top in the 20th century!

THE WORLD STILL LIVING
By S. Shahid
About the book
THE WORLD STILL LIVING Is my third venture in English literature, My mother language is Bengali and I have no
proficiency in English language yet I have composed my verses in English to spread out my ideas around the world
for those who believe in human progress.
I am grateful to our National dailies and magazines for their news and information on the basis of which I have
composed some of my verses.
I believe any language can be benefited by other languages by taking and giving process in style, technique and idea.
Language moves like the course of the river quite independently to flourish itself from internal and external resources.
When we deal with our national matters we cannot ignore international affairs which are interlinked with our
interests. So the need for learning international language comes.
However, in composing the verses I have tried to follow the style of old Bengali poems in order to introduce a new
flavour in English poetrical system.
I remember with gratitude a few personalities like Dr. Sheikh Maqsood Ali, Poet Abdus Sattar, Poet Mozaffar
Hossain, Poet Kazi Salahuddin, Poet Nurul Huqe, writer Nilufar Begum and members of the Authors Association
(Bangladesh Lekhak Samiti) of Bangladesh who encouraged me in my literary persuits.
I am also grateful to Mr. S.M. Al-Hossainy and Mr. Salahuddin Ahmed, the Hony, Chairman and the Hony, Secretary
General of Swanirvar Bangladesh who were kind enough to give me a chance to serve their organisation meant for
the backward people of Bangladesh.
I am grateful to Mr. Sufi Md. Seraj-ul-Islam who has undertaken the task of printing this volume. The sale proceeds
of this book shall be spent for better studies of the children of the Dream Land Preparatory School which he founded
in 1984,
Earlier Mr. Seraj-ul Islam published my book ‘The Verses on Islam’, I believe ‘The Verses on Islam’ will succeed in
achieving its objective.
I am thankful to Mr. Antique Huge Choudhury, a famous dramatist and T. V. personality of Bangladesh, Mr. Kazi
Zahurul Huge and Mr. Atahar Khan two Journalists of repute who tried to expose me in my initial stage.
Lastly, I express my thanks to Poet maul Haque, Mr. Forhad khan, Mr. Abdul Mannan Bakery, Mr. Abdul Awaal,
Babul, Mr. S. Shahidullah, Mr. Shamsul Alam, Mr. Abdul Hye, writer Mr. Ahmed Kafil and many others for their

Think Back to Move Forward
My desire to see us put kindness and compassion back in the atmosphere in view of the fact that we all have to be here; strive for a better future and to positively touch the lives of those around us. To utilize our talents for God’s glory and to honestly, spiritually and compassionately embrace the fullness of life.
We can help brighten each other’s way through encouragement and commitment because a sad heart travels a dim path. Each person matters in this complex puzzle called life, as we recognize that a single drop of rain may seem insignificant but collectively can create a pond. Let us work together to lighten each other’s burdens as no one exist solely; how pleasing it is to know that someone cares. Romans 14:19 “Let us therefore make every effort to do what leads to peace and to mutual edification.”

Thinking Beyond Capitalism: An African American Alternative
The book is divided in two. The first section addresses the theoretical shortcoming that result from the predominance of capitalism. We recognize that capitalism was initially accepted as progressive and incorporated elements of democracy however slavery (the first contradiction of capitalism) was the economic activity which produced the profits which were then invested in the industrial revolution. Successful industry ultimately destroyed slavery (captains of industry insisted that if they had to pay their workers, other “captains” would have to do the same). But, the ground work was laid for racism, which became the next contradiction of capitalism. As the democratic revolutions of Europe and the U.S. promised “liberty and justice for all, slavery lived on. Meanwhile, capitalism continued to reach out, and colonialism and imperialism became the form of domination it would coexist with. Domination included abuse of the environment and natural resources. The second part of the book is empirical. After reviewing the conditions of African American the authors review several essential building blocks for rebuilding communities that can provide stability and prosperity for all.

This Land Is Mine! A Story of Crazy Horse and George A. Custer
Examines the contested expansion of the Western United States through the perspective of two important historical figures. It is the story of a time when open land, resources, and wealth west of the Mississippi captured the imagination of everyone in nineteenth century America. The United States government sent expeditions to capture as much land as possible, and thousands of easterners set off in stagecoaches to find their fortunes. Angry American Natives and vicious conflict greeted the trespassers as they continued to invade more territory.
The book follows the lives of two brave leaders from very different cultures, born just two years apart: George Armstrong Custer of the United States Seventh Cavalry; and Crazy Horse of the Native American Lakota tribe. Custer delighted in youthful pranks as a child and as a young man at West Point Military Academy. Ambitious, courageous, and lucky, Custer successfully advanced his military career in spite of a few misdemeanors. Thousands of miles away, Crazy Horse hunted buffalo, captured horses, and learned the strategies of warfare by studying animals and following Native traditions. Both Custer and Crazy Horse became passionate leaders. This gripping story culminates when Crazy Horse and thousands of Native American warriors collide with Custer’s Seventh Cavalry at the Battle of the Little Big Horn to fight for their land and everything they held dear.
