Sinopsis

African Kingdoms Rise unveils the often-overlooked history of Africa's powerful kingdoms, presenting them as central actors in global trade and cultural exchange. This book challenges Eurocentric perspectives by examining the sophisticated systems of governance, economic prowess, and artistic achievements of kingdoms like Ghana, Mali, and Songhai. These civilizations possessed the agency, ingenuity, and resources to develop complex societies that rivaled those in Europe and Asia, contributing significantly to world history.

 
The book is structured in three parts, beginning with an introduction to the geographical and cultural landscape of Africa. It then delves into specific kingdoms, exploring their political systems, economic structures, and artistic contributions. Finally, it examines the interconnectedness of these kingdoms and their interactions with other global powers, culminating with the decline of some kingdoms due to internal strife, environmental factors, and the impact of the transatlantic slave trade.

 
By drawing upon archaeological findings, oral traditions, and written accounts, the book provides a nuanced understanding of the past and emphasizes the importance of African kingdoms in a holistic view of world history.

    How to Deal with Difficult...

    We’ve all dealt with other people’s disruptive behavior in our lives. Whether it’s a demanding customer, a friend who constantly lies, or a coworker who keeps complaining, these things add to the stress of an already hectic lifestyle. That said, true to their name, difficult people are hard to handle even if you’re extremely calm before they approach you. However, there is always a reason for their behavior - and this book will help you reveal it. Likewise, understanding why they act the way they do may also help you answer another question. You’ll learn why it is so difficult to deal with them. After all, people with different socioeconomic backgrounds, cultural beliefs, and cognitive tools can get along just fine most of the time. So, why can’t you do the same with difficult people? 
    One of the reasons it may be so challenging to handle difficult people is the lack of a clear definition of what this term really means. Because of this, there isn’t a unified classification of traits. The number of difficult personalities varies depending on the definition. For the sake of simplicity, you’ll find them sorted into six universal categories. These are gas lighters, toxic people, narcissists, energy vampires, manipulators, and aggressive people. This book explains how each type is generally defined, its characteristics, and how to identify it.

    The Japanese Way of Parenting -...

    In this fascinating half-memoir, half-parenting guide, Lisa Katayama shares her quest to raise her American kids using Japanese parenting principles—combining unconditional love with unwavering rules. While Bringing Up Bébé introduced readers to the French way of raising obedient children who are seen but not heard, and Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother shared an in iron-will parental approach to creating high-achieving kids, Lisa Katayama’s Parenting the Japanese Way brings the principles of Japanese parenting to Americans, emphasizing unconditional love, community, and harmony with nature, to nurture children who are well-behaved, respectful, and creative.   Japan is well known for its culture of respect, technological innovations, delicious food, peaceful vibes, and deep connection to nature. The source code to all of it is the way the Japanese view childhood—as a time of rigorous training for societal participation, where they learn from the start that are just one part of a larger whole. Katayama takes readers along with her as she travels back and forth from her motherland of Tokyo to the East Bay of California to expose her two American, mixed-race kids to the Japanese way of parenting. Readers will be inspired to take some of her insights—the importance of routine and ritual or the benefits of simplified spaces or the power in making everyday things cute—and adopt them into their own parenting, no matter where they live.

    The American Way of Killing

    Malcolm Gladwell returns with a brilliant new work: an incisive investigation into gun violence, America’s deadliest and most polarizing crisis. 
      
    Why, when it comes to lethal violence, is America so different from the rest of the globe? The United States is wealthier, better educated, more technologically sophisticated, more religious than almost any of its peers in the developed world—all of which would suggest that it should also have the lowest levels of violence. Yet the opposite is true. 
      
    In this bold new audiobook, Malcolm Gladwell investigates the paradox through a series of stories—the miracle of a young gunshot victim in Washington, D.C., the legal travails of a seventeenth-century English knight, a professor in Alabama with a terrible secret, and a prison in Germany that would be unrecognizable to any American, among others. 
      
    Using original interviews, archival footage, and his trademark insight, Gladwell confronts one of today’s most urgent moral dilemmas and examines what’s actually being done to fix it.
