Noo Saro-Wiwa was brought up in England but spent her childhood summers in Nigeria - a country she considered an unglamorous parallel universe, devoid of all creature comforts. After her father, activist Ken Saro-Wiwa, was murdered there in 1995, Noo rarely returned to the land of her birth. More than a decade later, she decided to come to terms with Nigeria. From the exuberant chaos of Lagos, to the calm beauty of the eastern mountains; the eccentricity of a Nigerian dog show to the empty Transwonderland Amusement Park, Noo combines travelogue with an exploration of corruption, identity and religion. Looking for Transwonderland is the first major non-fiction narrative of modern Nigeria; an engaging portrait of a country whose beauty and variety few of us will experience, depicted with wit and insight by a refreshing new voice in contemporary travel writing.

They killed her father for speaking out For decades, the oil-rich Niger Delta—an important wetland and farming region—has seen its environment devastated by oil extraction that has brought little economic benefit to its people. After a nonviolent campaign for environmental and human rights, Ken Saro-Wiwa and eight colleagues were executed by the military dictatorship in 1995. Their deaths sparked an armed insurgency marked by sabotage and oil theft in a bid for “resource control.” Thirty years after Ken Saro-Wiwa’s death, his daughter Noo traces the rise of this insurgency and how it became entangled with politics, further damaging the environment and upending social hierarchies. In The Burning Ground, she travels across the delta to examine its aftermath, speaking with former militants, highlighting the undervalued role of women, and meeting individuals working toward sustainable development. Along the way, her sharp, humane reporting brings to life a region where environmental damage, political conflict, human-rights pressures, and accelerating climate threats converge in ways the world cannot ignore.

Noo Saro-Wiwa was brought up in England, but every summer she was dragged back to visit her father in Nigeria -- a country she viewed as an annoying parallel universe where she had to relinquish all her creature comforts and sense of individuality. After her father, activist Ken Saro-Wiwa, was killed there, she didn't return for several years. Recently, she decided to come to terms with the country her father given his life for. Saro-Wiwa travels from the exuberant chaos of Lagos to the calm beauty of the eastern mountains; from the eccentricity of a Nigerian dog show to the decrepit kitsch of the Transwonderland Amusement Park. She explores Nigerian Christianity, delves into the country's history of slavery, examines the corrupting effect of oil, and ponders the huge success of Nollywood. She finds the country as exasperating as ever, and frequently despairs at the corruption and inefficiency she encounters. But she also discovers that it si far more beautiful and varied than she had ever imagined, with its captivating thick tropical rainforest and ancient palaces and monuments. Most engagingly of all, she introduces us to the many people she meets, and gives us hilarious insights into the African character, its passion, wit and ingenuity.

Særeigent og fantasifullt univers Solveig M. Tjeltveit debuterer med ei original diktsamling der Gnu er den sentrale gjennomgangsfiguren. Noo er swahili for gnu. Noo er Gnu sin lyd. Stemma i boka endrar seg mellom dikta, den er rytmisk og syngande og kan ta bustad i kva og kven som helst. I denne ville skogen bur både Gnu, Gud og jente - og over himmelen fyk ein gut. Her eksisterer ulike mytologiar side om side, figurar skiftar form, lammet leikar ved sida av løva og mangroven veks under bjørka. Dikta er overraskande og temperamentsfulle, og fulle av latter og gråt.

"G'Noo the Baby Roo's First Christmas" was first conceived of as a holiday bedtime story for my children. There is even an audio recording of the original story which I made for them back in the late 1990's. Eventually, it evolved into a stage play intended for young audiences. "G'Noo" is a short children's play about a young kangaroo, known as a "joey", who sees humans celebrating Christmas by exchanging presents but isn't quite sure what to make of it. Eventually, G'Noo asks her parents about the holiday but they aren't quite sure what it's all about, either. The play focuses on what would happen if there were no human around to teach animals what Christmas is all about. How would these animals interpret a "Christmas" beyond its religious significance? However you celebrate the holiday season, please enjoy your time with "G'Noo the Baby Roo" and may all your holidays bring you nothing but joy.

The Noo Logistics: The Short Description

The noo logistics (here noo is from the Greek vooc - the reason) is a reasonable management of current interconnected flows of material and information values, the totality of which is the life support of both an individual intelligent being, for example, a person, and their groups in real time (in the present) to achieve the goal in the future. Noo logistics includes modern commodity - money Logistics, which optimally manages the interconnected flows of values in a form of goods, money and information. It provides the possibility of transition to the Noo Economy, which adjusts the value relations between intelligent beings and between them and the environment. The book contains the results of many years practical work of authors on the creation of a noo control technology of large - scale grids of gas and electricity supply that contains gas wells, gas-compressor units, gas air coolers, installations of preparation of gas to transportation, steam boilers, multistage steam turbines, pumps, heat exchangers, pipelines, condensers, shut-off valves, etc. It gives examples of calculations of noologistical management solutions and control actions for power and gas supply grids, which are thus transformed into the so - called "smart grids". The use of above technology only to create "smart grids" is the part of its capabilities. Its concept provides noo managing the life support of each person, as well as common one of interacting people in group of any number up to all of mankind within their habitat. Life support refers to a combination of current flows of consumption, of creation and of rejection the values that meet the needs of persons and their groups. Habitat refers to a set of values available to meet the individual needs of person and the common needs of their groups. Noo logistics considers any group of interacting persons as a hierarchy that exists under its own rules, regardless of its type (family, party, state, Union, factory, enterprise, firm, sect, group, club, etc.). The current rules in it are designed to provide the inequality of life supports, habitats and goals in persons located at different levels of its management. This approach allows uniformly noologistically to manage it by changing the magnitudes of personal status coefficients, relative subjectivities and forms of interaction in its rules. From the point of view of Noologistics, relations between persons in groups are carried out in a single form - through the current flows of material and information values, i.e. through their life supports. The relations of persons and all mankind to the environment are carried out in the same form. Flows of goods, money and information, the optimal management of which is the subject of traditional (commodity-money) Logistics, are part of the above-mentioned current flows of material and information values. Therefore, the traditional Economy that regulates a commodity-money relations is a part of Noo Economy, which regulates of the value relationship. The practical significance of the use of logistics lies in the possibility of overcoming the well-known systemic crises inherent in modernity, which are due to the increasing use of so-called" technology without people", contradictions between the increasing needs of people (humanity) and their habitat, the shortcomings of representative democracy. The book may be of interest to specialists and researchers of production, Economics, Logistics, ecology, politics, etc., as well as for teachers, postgraduates and students. It may be of interest to employees of various government structures that control hierarchies because gives an opportunity to develop goals and plans for the future and to evaluate past performance, but also achieve in the present or the extremely size of any known criterion of reasonableness, for example, minimum CO2 emission, minimum costs, maximum profit, maximum meet the needs, etc., or any their compromise in the whole object and in any element thereof.
