  The Axum Empire was one of the most influential civilizations in ancient Africa, flourishing between the 4th and 7th centuries AD. It was located in what is today northern Ethiopia and parts of Eritrea, strategically positioned along the Red Sea trade routes. This placement not only allowed Axum to thrive economically but also made it a key player in global trade between Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. The kingdom of Axum’s rise to prominence marked a pivotal moment in African history, shaping the culture, economy, and politics of the region for centuries. 
  The origins of the Axum Empire are somewhat shrouded in mystery, but its establishment is often linked to the rise of the city of Axum (also spelled Aksum) around the 1st century AD. According to various historical accounts, Axum was originally a small kingdom that grew in power through trade, conquest, and political alliances. It eventually became one of the most advanced civilizations of its time, possessing advanced knowledge of agriculture, architecture, and metallurgy. 
  At its height, the Axum Empire was an extraordinary political and economic entity. The kingdom controlled an extensive territory that stretched from modern-day Ethiopia and Eritrea to parts of Sudan and Arabia. Axum became a major center for trade, exporting goods such as ivory, gold, frankincense, and myrrh, while also importing luxury goods from Roman, Indian, and Arabian merchants. The city of Axum itself was known for its monumental obelisks, palaces, and sophisticated urban planning.

  Do you have a Third Place? Your first place is home, your second place is work, and your third place is where you go to socialize. As more of our lives are spent online and in digital spaces, these often overlooked "Third Places" play a crucial role in keeping our communities vibrant. In a timely and thoughtful examination, Richard Kyte, PhD, explores the places that nurture our souls and make up the bedrock of our communities. Third Places can range from a neighborhood tavern, to a community center, to a local bookstore or coffee shop. They are the critical gathering spaces where friendships are formed, relationships are nurtured, and the tapestry of community is woven. Yet, for an ever-growing list of reasons, many people today find themselves without a third place of their own. At a time when our nation is facing an epidemic of loneliness, when communities are suffering from loss of trust, low levels of engagement, despair, and political polarization, what if the answer to many of our problems lies in a simple idea? What if we just need to pay attention to the places where we find ourselves?

  Intense emotions–whether your own or your child's–can make it incredibly difficult to be the parent you want to be. This book is designed to help you become a more emotionally agile parent so you can better navigate whatever emotional storms you inevitably encounter. 
  Emotion-Savvy Parenting is an empowering, science-informed guide for breaking free of the hold that unwanted emotions so often have over parents. With compassion and wit, licensed clinical psychologist Dr. Alissa Jerud draws on decades of research to present a refreshing, theory-driven approach that encourages parents to focus on changing the only behaviors they truly have control over: their own. Rooted in highly effective, cognitive-behavioral strategies and a respectful, relationship-centered stance, her ART (Accept, Regulate, and Tolerate) framework enables parents to relate more skillfully to challenging emotions, model invaluable lessons, connect more deeply with their kids, and enjoy parenting more. 
  Packed with real-life examples and step-by-step techniques, this book supports parents of infants to teens in creating a more harmonious home by becoming their ideal, most emotionally adept selves. It also serves as a valuable resource for educators and mental health professionals seeking to help lighten the heavy load of parenthood.
