Religion, Disability, and Sustainable Development in Africa
This book investigates the interplay between disability and religion in Africa, and what this means in the context of the Sustainable Development Goals. The importance of meeting the needs of people with disabilities is highlighted specifically in several Sustainable Development Goals as well as being emphasised as a cross-cutting issue across all the goals.Over 1 billion people are estimated to be living with disabilities and 80% of this population live in the Global South, many within Africa.This book argues that within this context, religion must be considered, as people with disabilities often turn to religion for solace in confronting the daily struggles and pains that they can face.Drawing on multiple disciplinary lenses, this book reflects on how traditional/indigenous, Abrahamic, and other African minority religions and philosophies interact with disability, and how this relates to the sustainable development goals.The book demonstrates how religions in Africa conceptualize, imagine, or re-imagine disability in the context of key themes such as gender, ecological justice, health, poverty, education, employment, entrepreneurship, and migration. Overall, the book invites researchers from across the social sciences to consider how African religious, theological, and philosophical ideas can help towards the inclusion of people with disabilities in the 2030 development agenda in Africa.

These tools are designed to automate repetitive tasks, streamline processes, and increase efficiency in various industries. Some popular examples of automation software include UiPath, Blue Prism, Automation Anywhere, and Selenium. These tools often use technologies such as robotic process automation (RPA) and artificial intelligence to mimic human actions and perform tasks with minimal human intervention.

Software or hardware?
When deciding between software and hardware, it ultimately depends on the specific needs and goals of the user. Software provides flexibility, scalability, and ease of updates, making it ideal for tasks that require frequent changes or updates. On the other hand, hardware offers reliability, security, and performance for tasks that require high processing power or data storage. It is important to carefully evaluate the requirements of the project or task at hand to determine whether software or hardware is the best solution.

'Software or hardware?'
The choice between software and hardware depends on the specific needs and goals of the user. Software provides flexibility and can be easily updated or customized, while hardware offers physical components that may be more reliable and provide better performance for certain tasks. Ultimately, the decision between software and hardware should be based on the specific requirements of the user and the intended use of the technology.

What distinguishes a religion from a substitute religion?
A religion is typically characterized by a belief in a higher power or powers, a set of sacred texts or teachings, and a system of rituals and practices. It often provides a framework for understanding the meaning and purpose of life, as well as guidelines for moral behavior. A substitute religion, on the other hand, may lack some or all of these elements, but still fulfills a similar role in providing meaning, community, and a sense of purpose for its followers. Substitute religions may include belief systems, ideologies, or even activities such as sports or political movements that fulfill some of the same functions as traditional religions.

The Hope of the Poor : Philosophy, Religion and Economic Development
Is economic development the best hope for the world's poor? A great many individuals, governments and organizations think the obvious answer is 'Yes', the only issue being about how development can best be achieved. In recent decades some powerful voices from economics and anthropology have taken issue with this widespread consensus, and this book aims to add a philosophical dimension to the debate. Just who are 'the poor', and what should they hope for? Is the best hope of having a worthwhile life any different for the poor than it is for the rich?Drawing on Aristotle, Bacon, Hume, Reid, Marx and Nietzsche, as well as contemporary authors such as Amartya Sen, Martha Nussbaum and Tim Ingold, Gordon Graham argues in favour of replacing quantitative assessments of wealth and poverty with a qualitative account of the ways in which human lives can be enriched or impoverished. The final chapter explores the connection between economic and political development and religious ways of thinking.

Water in the Roman World : Engineering, Trade, Religion and Daily Life
Water in the Roman World: Engineering, Trade, Religion and Daily Life offers a wide and expansive new treatment of the role water played in the lives of people across the Roman world.Individual papers deal with ports and their lighthouses; with water engineering, whether for canals in the north-west provinces, or for the digging of wells for drinking water, and for multiple other purposes; with baths for swimming; and with spas.Further papers explore religion in water-sanctuaries and the deposition of objects in rivers as well as deities connected with water, including river gods and nymphs.A final chapter provides an overview of subjects not fully covered elsewhere, including warships and naval battles, trade and navigation, aqueducts, fishing and fish-farming, and literary response to watery landscapes, rivers and lakes.The latter include works by great landowners such as the younger Pliny with his Laurentine villa beside the sea west of Rome or by poets, among them Catullus enjoying Lake Garda and Ausonius with his loving description of the River Moselle.The contributors address the subject in a variety of different ways, as Classicists drawing largely on literature, archaeologists with experience of excavating the watery environment, and art-historians.The papers range from the theoretical, with particular interest in materiality, to more lyrical approaches which address the Romans with their problems as well as their pleasures.

Roman Religion
Examining sites that are familiar to many modern tourists, Valerie Warrior avoids imposing a modern perspective on the topic by using the testimony of the ancient Romans to describe traditional Roman religion.The ancient testimony recreates the social and historical contexts in which Roman religion was practised.It shows, for example, how, when confronted with a foreign cult, official traditional religion accepted the new cult with suitable modifications.Basic difficulties, however, arose with regard to the monotheism of the Jews and Christianity.Carefully integrated with the text are visual representations of divination, prayer, and sacrifice as depicted on monuments, coins, and inscriptions from public buildings and homes throughout the Roman world.Also included are epitaphs and humble votive offerings that illustrate the piety of individuals, and that reveal the prevalence of magic and the occult in the spiritual lives of the ancient Romans.

What is the difference between religion and substitute religion?
Religion refers to a formal system of beliefs, practices, and rituals centered around a higher power or spiritual force, often involving organized institutions and communities. Substitute religion, on the other hand, refers to non-traditional belief systems or practices that serve as a replacement for traditional religion. Substitute religions may include alternative spiritual practices, self-help movements, or other forms of belief and community that fulfill similar roles to traditional religion for their followers. While religion is often associated with established traditions and institutions, substitute religion may be more individualistic and diverse in its manifestations.
