Got your Ethiopian New Year Calendar with Aptitude?

Wishing you all a happy and prosperous Ethiopian New Year, Once again, it is our great pleasure to announce that the 2006 E.C. edition of 'Ethiopian Calendar with Primary Source Materials' is out and is ready for orders. As usual, this unique calendar contains educational content related to Ethiopian history and culture. That's why we call it 'Calendar with Aptitude' or 'Calendar with Attitude'. Here are samples of the rave reviews we have received for our past editions:
Reviews of last year's (first primary sources) edition:

“This year's calendar introduces users to notable primary sources. Anyone who is interested in Ethiopian history will find the calendar a wonderful document that educates and opens new venues for further research..[Publisher] effectively uses the pages of the calendar to provide a variety of sources that tell interesting stories about Ethiopia and Ethiopians. Indeed, the 2005 E.C. calendar is a wonderful piece of work and I invite fellow Ethiopians and friends of Ethiopia to get their own copies...” Ato Tewodros Abebe

“..Each month of the calendar includes a page-long story that focuses on a significant event or personality that is important in Ethiopian history. Subjects reflect a variety of backgrounds and time periods. Here is the perfect gift for an Ethiopian friend or a friend of Ethiopia!" Dr. Theodore M. Vestal, Professor Emeritus Oklahoma State University

"..It is a very [good]instrument that indicates an interesting event that has occurred in Ethiopian History during each month, in addition to the photos famous protagonists and their birthday. It shows the richness of Ethiopian society and culture as well as the diverse personalities that have represented its politics, arts, and many aspects of its makeup. I recommend it highly and because it useful at home and working place for its practical use and as a reference when some aspects of Ethiopian history and personalities are discussed." Ambassador Imru Zelleke
Reviews of past (focusing on biographies) editions:
“Ethiopian calendar…sprinkled with the biographies.. of notable Ethiopians in all spheres of life… (leaders of yesteryear, artists, scientists, etc.) who have rendered significant contributions to the progress and culture of our proud and historic nation. It also reminds one, of the various key holidays in Ethiopia; the calendar for each month is juxtaposed with Gregorian calendar for cross referencing, which is a useful aspect of the calendar.”Dr. Fekadu Fulas. Sioux City, Iowa

"..The Biographical Calendar …stands alone in its quality. Each month carries a marvelous biographical piece on one great Ethiopian, you wish there were more than 12 months per year!!..The calendar is a great piece of work that reminds us the many great lives in our Ethiopian past. It gives us an opportunity to talk to our kids about their work be it in literature, art and patriotism.” Dr. Araya Amsalu. Cincinnati, Ohio.

Last year's primary source materials range from historical speeches made by Emperor Haile Selassie or by Dr. Melaku Beyan etc..to transcripts of recorded voice correspondences between Emperor Menilik & Queen Victoria. From the letters of Alfred Ilg, the Swiss born advisor of Emperor Menelik to diary notes of two Americans who had been in Ethiopia at different times & participated in war and peaceful efforts. This year's edition will live up to its reputation and contains rarely seen or told narratives about events in Ethiopian history, most of them based on documents found in archives, libraries and museums. We believe that the primary source materials we have selected provide essential information about those events in Ethiopian history or the personalities we featured.
