Beschreibung

Saharan Networks explores the vital role of the Sahara Desert as a conduit for trade, cultural exchange, and globalization in world history. Challenging the perception of Africa as isolated, the book reveals intricate networks connecting sub-Saharan Africa to the Mediterranean, the Middle East, and beyond. These Saharan trade networks facilitated the exchange of commodities like gold and salt, impacting societies and enabling the rise of empires such as Ghana, Mali, and Songhai. The book examines the roles of Berber traders, Arab merchants, and African intermediaries, while investigating the social, religious, and political dimensions of this economic history. It progresses from establishing the geographical context to exploring key commodities, influential groups, and the eventual decline of these networks due to European maritime expansion. By utilizing diverse sources, including archaeological findings and historical chronicles, Saharan Networks emphasizes the agency of African actors in shaping trans-Saharan trade, offering a nuanced perspective on a crucial aspect of world history.

    "The Subjection of Women" is an essay written by John Stuart Mill in 1869. The essay is a critique of the social and legal status of women in Victorian England and argues for gender equality. Mill argues that the subjugation of women is not only morally wrong but also results in negative consequences for both men and women. 
    In the essay, Mill examines the various ways in which women are subjugated, including their lack of legal rights, their exclusion from education and professional opportunities, and their relegation to the domestic sphere. He argues that these societal restrictions prevent women from fulfilling their potential and living full, autonomous lives. 
    Mill also argues that the subjugation of women is not a natural or inevitable state of affairs but is instead a result of historical and cultural factors. He contends that by removing legal and social barriers to gender equality, society can create a more just and harmonious social order. 
    "The Subjection of Women" was a groundbreaking work in its time and helped to lay the groundwork for the feminist movement. Mill's arguments continue to be influential to this day, and the essay remains a key text in the history of feminist thought.

Best known for developing the theory of relativity, he also made important contributions to the development of the theory of quantum mechanics. Relativity and quantum mechanics are the two pillars of modern physics. His mass–energy equivalence formula E = mc2, which arises from relativity theory, has been dubbed "the world's most famous equation."

    How do we come to trust our knowledge of the world? What are the means by which we distinguish true from false accounts? Why do we credit one observational statement over another? In A Social History of Truth, Shapin engages these universal questions through an elegant recreation of a crucial period in the history of early modern science: the social world of gentlemen-philosophers in seventeenth-century England. Steven Shapin paints a vivid picture of the relations between gentlemanly culture and scientific practice. He argues that problems of credibility in science were practically solved through the codes and conventions of genteel conduct: trust, civility, honor, and integrity. These codes formed, and arguably still form, an important basis for securing reliable knowledge about the natural world. Shapin uses detailed historical narrative to argue about the establishment of factual knowledge both in science and in everyday practice. Accounts of the mores and manners of gentlemen-philosophers are used to illustrate Shapin's broad claim that trust is imperative for constituting every kind of knowledge. Knowledge-making is always a collective enterprise: people have to know whom to trust in order to know something about the natural world.
