Sinopse

Igala Political Order explores the sophisticated governance and economic systems of the precolonial Igala Kingdom in West Africa, revealing how it achieved remarkable political stability and prosperity for centuries, despite lacking extensive written records. The book argues the kingdom's success stemmed from balancing a centralized monarchy (the Ata) with the influence of aristocratic lineages (Igala Mela), and decentralized village autonomy, alongside strategic engagement in regional trade. This challenges simplistic views of precolonial African states, highlighting a complex interplay of power and governance.

 
The book examines the kingdom's historical context, dissects its political architecture by exploring the roles of the Ata, aristocratic clans, and local governance, and investigates its economic foundations, including agriculture, regional trade, and adaptation to the transatlantic slave trade. Using oral traditions, early European accounts, archaeological findings, and linguistic analysis, the book presents a multifaceted perspective.

 
This interdisciplinary approach offers valuable insights into state formation and resilience, contributing to African history, political science, and economic history. By examining the historical roots of governance and regional relations, Igala Political Order provides a framework for understanding contemporary political challenges in Africa.

 
The book progresses through the kingdom's history, political structures, and economic activities, providing a nuanced understanding of precolonial statehood and challenging conventional wisdom.

    Acres of Diamonds by Russell H. Conwell is one of the most influential motivational speeches ever given, emphasizing that wealth, success, and opportunity are often closer than we realize. Originally delivered as a lecture over 6,000 times before being published in 1890, this classic work argues that anyone can find prosperity and fulfillment by recognizing and cultivating the opportunities in their own surroundings. 
    Through powerful storytelling and real-world examples, Conwell demonstrates that true riches—both material and spiritual—are not found in distant lands but right where we stand. Narrated by Nathan Edwards, this audiobook breathes new life into Conwell’s timeless wisdom, inspiring listeners to rethink their approach to success and self-improvement. 
    This enduring work remains a cornerstone of personal development literature, influencing countless entrepreneurs, business leaders, and success coaches. Acres of Diamonds is more than a lesson in wealth—it is a call to recognize and harness the potential that already exists in our lives.

    7x Award-Winning Motivational Book!  
    Who do you want to be? 
    We’ve all heard or asked this question before, yet few of us answer it because identity is not fixed but ever-expanding as we move through life. 
    Dr. LaNysha Tufuga Adams, an Ivy-League-educated linguist, challenges others to answer this question and implement the answer(s). 
    Me Power redefines empowerment, encouraging us to tap into our limitless flow of possibility while connecting with others. No matter the barriers, Me Power pushes us to activate the best of who we are and dismisses the possibility that power is something we can authorize, give away, or take from others. 
    Embracing this book is the first step to activating your Me Power. 
    So what are you waiting for?

It specifically analyzes the complicated relationships that Italy, Britain, the United States, and France developed with Libya beginning in the 1910s. On the basis of a wide range of primary and secondary sources, it offers insights into the political and socio-economic conditions within Libya that concerned Western leaders and shaped their policies. Among the crucial episodes that this book embraces are fascist Italy's military conquest and colonization of Libya; the expulsion of Axis armies from Libya and other north African states during World War II; the enthronement of King Idris in 1951; the discovery of oil in Libya in 1959. It explains the seizure of power by Muammar Qaddafi in 1969; the low-intensity military conflict between the United States and Libya in the 1980s; the Western response to Libyan acts of terrorism, including the murder of a British police officer in London in 1984 and the downing of Pan Am flight 103 in 1988; the enduring turmoil sparked by the Arab Spring in 2011; the decision by NATO powers to intervene militarily in the Libyan civil war to ensure the downfall of the Qaddafi regime; and the murder of U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens at Benghazi in 2012.
