Beschreibung

Sahara Trade explores how the Sahara Desert, often seen as an impassable barrier, became a vital artery of commerce and cultural exchange in African history. It details the rise of the trans-Saharan trade, emphasizing the exchange of essential commodities like salt and gold. Understanding this network is key to grasping the economic, social, and political evolution of pre-colonial Africa and its interactions globally.

The book examines how the trade spurred the growth of empires and the spread of ideas, profoundly influencing West Africa and the Mediterranean region. The book reveals that the trans-Saharan trade was more than a simple exchange of goods; it was a catalyst for cultural exchange and the formation of empires. Consider, for instance, the pivotal role of Berber and Arab merchants in establishing and maintaining caravan routes. Also crucial were the logistical innovations, particularly the use of camels, which enabled long-distance travel and trade across the harsh desert.

The book progresses chapter by chapter, establishing the geographical context, examining key commodities, detailing the roles of merchants, and analyzing the trade's impact on empires like Ghana, Mali, and Songhai. Sahara Trade offers a comprehensive look at this historical phenomenon by integrating diverse sources, including historical accounts, archaeological finds, and anthropological studies. It presents a holistic view of the interplay between environmental factors, social structures, and economic forces that shaped this trade network.

The book's focus on the period from the 8th to the 16th centuries, when the trans-Saharan trade peaked, provides valuable insights into the interconnectedness of societies and the enduring legacy of ancient trade routes.

Gardening Can Be Murder - How...

Marta McDowell

This fun, engrossing book takes a look at the surprising influence that gardens and gardening have had on mystery novels and their authors. With their deadly plants, razor-sharp shears, shady corners, and ready-made burial sites, gardens make an ideal scene for the perfect murder. But the outsize influence that gardens and gardening have had on the mystery genre has been underappreciated. Now, Marta McDowell, a writer and gardener with a near-encyclopedic knowledge of the genre, illuminates the many ways in which our greatest mystery writers, from Edgar Allen Poe to authors on today’s bestseller lists, have found inspiration in the sinister side of gardens. From the cozy to the hardboiled, the literary to the pulp, and the classic to the contemporary, Gardening Can Be Murder is the first book to explore the mystery genre’s many surprising horticultural connections. Meet plant-obsessed detectives and spooky groundskeeper suspects, witness toxic teas served in foul play, and tour the gardens—both real and imagined—that have been the settings for fiction’s ghastliest misdeeds. A New York Times bestselling author herself, McDowell also introduces us to some of today’s top writers who consider gardening integral to their craft, assuring that horticultural themes will remain a staple of the genre for countless twisting plots to come.    “This book is dangerous. A veritable cornucopia of crime fiction and gardening lore, it faces the reader with multiple temptations—books to seek out, plants to obtain, garden tours to book.” —Vicki Lane, author of the Elizabeth Goodweather Appalachian Mysteries

How to Have Antiracist...

PhD Roxy Manning, Kit Miller

Utilizing Dr. Martin Luther King's Beloved Community framework, activists will be empowered to create change and equity through fierce yet compassionate dialogue against racism and systematic white supremacy.

Can a person be both fierce and compassionate at once? Directly challenge racist speech or actions without seeking to humiliate the other person? Interrupt hateful or habitual forms of discrimination in new ways that foster deeper change? Dr. Roxy Manning believes it's possible-and you can learn how.

In this book, Dr. Manning provides a new way to conceive of antiracist conversations, along with the practical tools and frameworks that make them possible. Her work is grounded in the idea of Beloved Community, as articulated by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., as a goal to aspire to and even experience now, in the present, when we refuse to give up on the possibility of human connection within ourselves, with potential allies, and with those whose words and actions create harm. This book fuels courage and provides tools to confront everyday forms of racism. It walks the reader through an effective, efficient model of dialogue that utilizes concepts of nonviolent communication and helps normalize talking about racism instead of treating it like a "third rail," strictly avoided or touched at one's peril.

Readers will
- Be empowered to identify what kind of antiracist conversation they want to have-for example, do they only want to be heard, or do they want to negotiate a change in policy?
- Learn how to engage in antiracist conversations whether they are the Actor (person who says or does something racist), the Receiver (the target of racism), or the Bystander.
- Learn how to notice the underlying needs and values that motivate all human actions and how those values can open up pathways to transformation.

Examples of antiracist conversations highlight different ways to initiate dialogue, raise awareness, speak one's truth, and make clear, doable requests or demands for change.

Drawing on her experience as a clinical psychologist, a nonviolent communication practitioner, and an Afro-Caribbean immigrant, Dr. Manning provides a model of antiracist dialogue with practical applications for individuals and organizations.

Do we want to continue on this path, remaining in our `old ego`, and thus become passive accomplices of Humanity`s self-destruction?
