Extractions: 3 Results and Interpretation During one yearly cycle Wodaabe herds and households move through a number of different ecological situations represented by indigenous categories of season. At the very beginning of the rainy season, Wodaabe herders leave the clayey plains of Kawlaa (south-eastern part of the map, e.g. locations Kabelawa, Baroua, Toumour, Kinziandi; see photo 1 ) where they spent the dry season to set out for the first part of their seasonal migration ( Baartol , see photos ) and reach a zone of sandy dunes (south-western part of map, e.g. locations Issari, Maine Soroa; see photo ). Decisive to this movement is the herders consideration of soil quality in these two areas. Light sand of the dune area is considered as allowing for a fast sprouting of grass and herbs whereas heavy dark clay of the plain area is considered as only allowing for slow sprouting. The first light rains produce young shoots more quickly and early in sandy than in clayey soils. Herders recognise the relation between soil quality and plant growth and put this knowledge into systematic use for three reasons:

Anhand einer kritischen, historisch orientierten Literaturanalyse wird in dieser Arbeit versucht, die traditionelle Tierheilkunde in Afrika im Überblick darzustellen. Geographischer Schwerpunkt dieser Untersuchung ist die sogenannte "Sudanzone", ein etwa 1000 km breiter Landschaftsgürtel, der sich von West- über Zentral- bis nach Ostafrika erstreckt. Exemplarisch werden die WoDaaB e, die größte Gruppe archaischer Hirtennomaden bei den Peu abstract (engl.) In a critical, historically orientated approach this review of the literature attempts to deal with traditional Veterinary Medicine in Africa. The geographical emphasis of this analysis is the so-called Sudan zone, an about 1000 km wide geographical belt, which extends from West over Central to East Africa. As an example, the WoDaaBe as the largest group of archaic nomadic shepherd people amongst the Peul are discussed. A brief synopsis of present knowledge of the historical developments in traditional Veterinary Medicine cites old Egyptian documents as the earliest references and mentions Greek and later Roman influences in Arabic medicine. The latter had an important influence on the development of traditional African medicine through the Islamisation. The roots of traditional African Veterinary Medicine are to be found amongst prehistoric cattle herders who disseminated their knowledge during their extended migratory movements throughout the area investigated.

Extractions: CONTENTS IS THE ROLE OF RECONCILIATION PART OF OUR ROLES AS GREAT COMMISSION MUSICIANS AND ARTISTS? - (both locally and abroad?) (Editor's Note) - The scenario in the following excerpts has been played out in many nations around the world. Unintentionally, western missions has done much over the years to undermine the dignity and sense of worth of peoples of various cultures by labeling and denouncing their musical and artistic expressions, often across the board, as pagan and demonic. In coming editions we will be talking more about aspects of contextualization - which in many ways is another way of referring to the practice of seeing various God-given aspects of culture that Satan has used over the years for his own worship and glory 'reclaimed' for the glory and whole-hearted worship of our one True God. Of course one of the major issues that believers involved in contextualization need to prayerfully consider is the danger of syncretism, but often we have erred on the side of 'throwing out the baby with the bathwater' rather than recognizing that God delights in the various 'colors' and artistic expressions of worship of His people of various cultures as they are reclaimed for His glory.

A 1995 peace accord ended a five-year Tuareg insurgency in the north.

Extractions: In the photograph initially mentioned, the above tableau is replicated in the Divine family group; four larger than life-size modeled figures of the goddess, her baby on her lap, her lover the thunder god to her right with a distinguished fedora hat on his head, and flanking them both, her daughter in polka dot blouse and blood-red mini-skirt with a fancy handbag on her lap, and on the opposite side, the goddess's son in a yellow polo dress and fashionable haircut with a three-knob transistor radio nestled on his lap. It is the figure of this young man, son of the earth goddess and prince of the heavens, sitting erect in this sacred family group sculpture with a transistor radio on his lap that stays with me: An Igbo god with a transistor radio. Other than the inevitable British Broadcasting Corporation from which my father and the rest of the Biafran citizenry gathered their news of the outside world and the progress of the war, and the local stations to which he turned every Sunday morning for songs by Jim Reeves and other American gospel singers, my father's favorite station was Radio Santa Isabel, a Spanish service which broadcast out of Santa Isabel, Fernando Poo in the tiny, newly independent African Republic of Equatorial Guinea. Although the strict Christian sect that my father ministered to forbade dancing, which he never engaged in, he and his friends nevertheless loved the fast, loopy Central and East African guitar music out of Santa Isabel which was far more exciting and danceable than the more sedate and philosophical war-time Biafran 'highlife' music.

Extractions: Aesthetics and Evolutionary Psychology www.denisdutton.com 1. Historical Precedents The Republic Aristotle explicitly argued that a stable, unchanging human psychological nature would dictate that the arts would possess specifiable, unchanging features. In a seldom noticed aside in The Politics Poetics can be understood as a catalogue of the features that he expects the arts, primarily drama and fiction, to possess precisely because they are created by and for human beings with a stable intellectual, imaginative, and emotional nature. For example, he argues that main themes of tragedy will involve the disruption of normal family relations, such as we see in Oedipus and Medea .His unspoken implication is that this fascination with stresses and ruptures of families represents a permanent feature of human interest , and not merely a local manifestation of Greek cultural concerns.
