Synopsis

Ashanti Power explores the fascinating history of the Ashanti Empire in West Africa, a kingdom renowned for its wealth in gold and its fierce resistance to colonialism. The book reveals how the Ashanti people, located in present-day Ghana, maintained their sovereignty for centuries against European powers, particularly the British.

One key to their success was a highly organized military, capable of strategic campaigns. Another was a sophisticated system of governance, centered around the Asantehene and the symbolic Golden Stool, which served as both a political and spiritual emblem of the nation. The book delves into the three pillars of Ashanti strength: military organization, governance, and enduring cultural practices. It traces the empire's origins with figures like Osei Tutu and Okomfo Anokye, examines its military tactics, and analyzes its government and cultural traditions.

By drawing upon diverse sources, including oral histories, colonial accounts, and archaeological findings, Ashanti Power offers a balanced perspective on the empire's strengths and weaknesses. The book progresses chronologically, from the empire's rise in the late 17th century to its incorporation into the Gold Coast colony in the early 20th century. It highlights the Anglo-Ashanti Wars and the empire's lasting legacy, challenging simplistic narratives of conquest and resistance.

This exploration of Ashanti culture, political science, and military history provides lessons in political organization, cultural resilience, and strategic adaptation.

The Winning Job Interview -...

Rocco Mela

Here we are! You have managed to get a job interview by dint of sending CVs like an automatic machine gun!
The time has come! After so much wandering, a company has decided to see you first-hand!
All the hours spent filing your resume beyond belief, every evening spent behind the PC sifting through job offers, have finally served a purpose!
But now?
What to do?
At school, at university, no one taught you how to approach a job interview.
Panic: what answer and how to answer to the questions, talk little or a lot, dress elegant or sober, remain motionless or move with the body, shake hands or not, browse the company's website or get to the interview in a naive way, in order to be yourself?
If we would like to give an answer to all the mental blowjobs that will turn in your head, we just have to say that the truth is simple, damn simple.
But, as usual, when something is too simple, we don't consider it a viable option!
I'll tell you the secret right away!
To successfully pass a job interview, you need study, method and experience:
- study, because we need to examine our potential employer thoroughly, understand what he is looking for and what he expects from us
- method, because without a plan you can't go anywhere. Don't improvise. Train like a boxer. You are on the ring, and that employment contract must be yours!
- experience, because the first few times you will miss it. You will be discarded. Not because you're not good for that job, but because you still won't have the experience of a commander who has won 100 battles. It is normal, do not be discouraged. The sooner you understand where you went wrong in the first few battles, the sooner you will start winning!
Are you there so far?
Well, you are ready to listen to the audiobook!

Zero Hour America - History's...

Os Guinness

America has lost its way. And America will fall—unless.
Revolution? Oligarchy? Or homecoming? Americans are approaching a "zero hour" for the republic and its distinctive view of ordered freedom. America is caught between two revolutions and alternately suppresses and squanders freedom with a prodigal carelessness, with little understanding of the responsibilities that freedom requires.
Os Guinness warns that if America abandons its distinctive ideals and ideas, we will have carved into the chronicles of history yet another example of the failure of a free society. Like other crucial times in world history, the present crisis is a "civilizational moment" and also a pivot point that could lead to national renewal. Outlining seven key foundation stones of freedom, Guinness lays out a pathway for defining and ordering freedom, righting national wrongs, and passing freedom's baton from generation to generation.
Human freedom is precious and rare, and citizens who prize it must do what it takes to renew and sustain societies that are free for all of their members. America's window of opportunity is brief, and the alternative to renewal is bleak. The present moment must not be missed.
