Kimbanguism An African Understanding of the Bible

The prophet Simon Kimbangu, the founder of the movement, has inspired…

The Code Decoded
The purpose of this second edition of The Code Decoded is to serve as a user’s guide to the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants (“Code”), specifically the Shenzhen Code (Turland & al., 2018). My objective, as for the first edition (Turland, 2013), has been to create a text that is reasonably clear and simple, which inevitably means it will fail to cover every r…

Throughout tho…
