    The Songhai people trace their origins to the fertile banks of the Niger River, an area that has supported human settlement and civilization for thousands of years. Their early history is closely tied to the region of Gao, which would later become the heart of one of Africa’s most powerful empires. The Niger River provided the necessary resources for agriculture, fishing, and trade, enabling the growth of organized communities that would form the foundation of Songhai society. 
    The earliest known inhabitants of the region were the proto-Songhai, who are believed to have settled along the Niger River as early as the first millennium CE. These people were primarily farmers, herders, and fishermen, utilizing the rich floodplains of the river to cultivate crops and sustain livestock. Over time, they developed a distinct cultural identity, characterized by their language, traditions, and spiritual beliefs. Their society was structured around small communities led by local chieftains, who governed based on kinship ties and communal customs. 
    Gao, the most significant early settlement of the Songhai people, emerged as a crucial trading hub by the eighth century. Arab and Berber merchants, who traveled along the trans-Saharan trade routes, recognized its strategic importance as a commercial center. The exchange of goods such as gold, salt, ivory, and kola nuts attracted traders from North Africa and beyond, integrating Gao into the wider economic networks of the region. As commerce flourished, the settlement expanded, and its rulers gained influence by controlling trade and forming alliances with neighboring peoples.

    Batá identifies both the two-headed, hourglass-shaped drum of the Yoruba people and the culture and style of drumming, singing, and dancing associated with it. This book recounts the life story of Carlos Aldama, one of the masters of the batá drum, and through that story traces the history of batá culture as it traveled from Africa to Cuba and then to the United States. For the enslaved Yoruba, batá rhythms helped sustain the religious and cultural practices of a people that had been torn from its roots. Aldama, as guardian of Afro-Cuban music and as a Santería priest, maintains the link with this tradition forged through his mentor Jesus Pérez (Oba Ilu), who was himself the connection to the preserved oral heritage of the older generation. By sharing his stories, Aldama and his student Umi Vaughan bring to light the techniques and principles of batá in all its aspects and document the tensions of maintaining a tradition between generations and worlds, old and new. The book includes rare photographs and access to downloadable audio tracks.

    Singularity Rising - Surviving...

    In Ray Kurzweil's New York Times bestseller The Singularity is Near, the futurist and entrepreneur describes the Singularity, a likely future utterly different than anything we can imagine. The Singularity is triggered by the tremendous growth of human and computing intelligence that is an almost inevitable outcome of Moore's Law. Since the book's publication, the coming of the Singularity is now eagerly anticipated by many of the leading thinkers in Silicon Valley, from PayPal mastermind Peter Thiel to Google co-founder Larry Page. The formation of the Singularity University, and the huge popularity of the Singularity website kurzweilai.com, speak to the importance of this intellectual movement. 
    But what about the average person? How will the Singularity affect our daily lives—our jobs, our families, and our wealth? 
    Singularity Rising: Surviving and Thriving in a Smarter, Richer, and More Dangerous World focuses on the implications of a future society faced with an abundance of human and artificial intelligence. James D. Miller, an economics professor and popular speaker on the Singularity, reveals how natural selection has been increasing human intelligence over the past few thousand years and speculates on how intelligence enhancements will shape civilization over the next forty years. 
    Miller considers several possible scenarios in this coming singularity: A merger of man and machine making society fantastically wealthy and nearly immortal Competition with billions of cheap AIs drive human wages to almost nothing while making investors rich Businesses rethink investment decisions to take into account an expected future period of intense creative destruction Inequality drops worldwide as technologies mitigate the cognitive cost of living in impoverished environments Drugs designed to fight Alzheimer's disease and keep soldiers alert on battlefields have the fortunate side effect of increasing all of their users' IQs, which, in turn, adds a percentage points to worldwide economic growth  
    Singularity Rising offers predictions about the economic implications for a future of widely expanding intelligence and practical career and investment advice on flourishing on the way to the Singularity.
